Are open houses still effective for selling a home?

Open houses remain one of the most powerful tools in a seller's arsenal - not just for showing the property, but for creating visible competitive pressure. When buyers see other qualified prospects physically inspecting the space, it triggers urgency and produces stronger, faster offers. The key is compressing showings into tight windows rather than spreading them out, which dilutes competitive energy and gives buyers false comfort.
