3rd Annual Tour of Homes in Austin

The Ultimate Open House
The Ultimate Open House

The Home Builders Association of Greater Austin has scheduled the 3rd Annual Tour of Homes for this weekend September 13 & 14 that features over 60 homes for the ultimate open house event!

Homes on this “Scattered Site Tour” are not necessarily for sale and may just be open for touring on Saturday from 10am-6pm and on Sunday from noon-6pm in various neighborhoods throughout the Austin area.

This Tour of Homes is different from other home tours because it features dozens of homes that can be explored throughout the two days at the participants’ discretion and in no particular order. Basically, tours can be customized to fit any schedule and preferences.

To find the homes that are on the tour, go to Homes on the Tour. Additionally, every time a home is visited, participants have the opportunity to vote on the property’s best features and provide feedback on top characteristics. This will in turn serve as an entry into the Tour of Homes Grand Prize giveaway. There are no limits to the amount of times you can vote.

Tickets can be purchased online for $5 at Tour of Home Tickets or at the door for $10 and the official Tour of Homes guide is included with purchase. Tickets to this event provide access to every home on the tour throughout the weekend. Real estate agents can enter for free with a business card.

This will be a great way to get to know the Austin area better and get a feel for the types of homes available in different neighborhoods!

If you or someone you know is interested in buying or selling real estate in the Austin area, please do not hesitate to contact Mary Lynne Gibbs at 512.431.2403 or austinluxurybroker@gmail.com. It would be an honor to earn your business.
