Excellent post. We do something similar on a weekly basis (typically Sunday mornings) called our Featured Open House, where we highlight a particular Boston open house that deserves extra attention.

Sunny San Diego looks a little more inviting than cold (26 degrees F) Boston at the moment

The layout of the presentation is great. Open houses, however are really an ineffective form of marketing propety. Too many Realtors continue to mislead their clients by presenting this as a good means of selling a home. Open houses do more to benefit a Realtor than they do to get that particular home sold. Nationally less than 1% of homes are sold because of an open house.

I have to agree with Metrowest, open houses really benefit the Realtor more than the homeowner.
