Typical Open House Hours on Weekends | Best Times for Saturday & Sunday Open Houses

What are typical hours for open houses, in your experience, on Saturdays and Sundays?

Open House Timings:
Generally, typical open house hours on Saturdays and Sundays fall within a window of 10 am to 5 pm, with the prime time being 12 pm to 4 pm.

Here's why this timeframe is popular:

  • Weekends are prime house hunting time: Most people have free time to look at houses.
  • Mid-day allows flexibility: This timeframe lets potential buyers come after errands or brunches, before dinner plans.
  • Early afternoon offers good natural light: This showcases the property at its best.

However, some open houses may be held outside this window depending on the situation. For instance, there could be weekday evening open houses targeting serious buyers, or earlier afternoon open houses in the winter to maximize daylight.

Finally, it is up to you to choose the best time to schedule an Open House for maximum reach.
