Finding Open Houses to Visit

Find Open Houses to Visit

Portland realtors hold their "Open Houses" on Sunday afternoon.  So arm yourself with the Sunday edition of The Oregonian, which you can purchase early Saturday afternoon, and plot out your tour of homes. The Real Estate section of The Oregonian is where to look.

You can also visit the Regional Market Listing Service Web site. You can narrow your search by filing in the parameters. Note the field "Check for Open House"  at the bottom of the form. Hit the "Search" button and you'll get a list of homes that match your selection criteria. Click on the actual listing to determine the date and time a home will be opened to the public for viewing. 

The site covers all homes for sale in the metro area as well as other counties and cities in Oregon.

Hint:  If you searching for open houses in Portland only, select "Multnomah" in the county box and "Portland" in the city box.
