What are good open house post ideas?

Post the open house more than once: an announcement a few days before, a walkthrough video teaser, a reminder the day before, an “open today” post that morning, and a thank-you after. PropWalk makes the open house post from the address in minutes, with your name and brokerage on it, and you book it for the day you want. Starter is $49 a month, or $39 a month billed yearly.

We make PropWalk, so read this as a how-to from a tool maker. Every post should carry the address, the date and the time. Neighbors who stop by are future sellers too: eight in ten sellers contacted only one agent, per NAR’s 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers.

What should I post for an open house?

Seven posts, in the order they go out. Each one says the address, the date and the time.
