Listings, not opinions
We measure scheduled open houses against active listings rather than surveying agents about what they remember doing. The July 2026 snapshot reads 13,757 scheduled opens across 201,049 active listings in 49 major US cities.
Research
Original open house market data and studies from OpenHouse, free to cite with attribution.
Original studies built from public listing data: how often American listings hold open houses, when they run, and how the patterns break by metro, price, and property type.
How we measure
Open house data is strangely hard to find. The industry publishes plenty about buyers and almost nothing about the listings themselves, so we measure the listings directly and publish the numbers with the methodology attached. The current edition is our open house statistics study, and the notes below describe how it is built rather than repeat what it found.
Day, hour, and duration
Every scheduled open house carries a start time and an end time, so the data answers when opens are actually held rather than when agents believe they are.
Cut by city and price
National averages hide the useful part, so every figure is published city by city and price band by price band, with the raw counts beside each rate.
