Making Weekend Plans? Add an Open House!

When was the last time you spent time touring Open Houses? While the “Open House” is typically considered a destination for those actively hunting for a new home, there are many reasons to regularly add these home tours to your calendar. The Cotton Farms community welcomes visitors every weekend as its newest homes are put on display. This Fuquay Varina neighborhood is a must-see, filled with gorgeous, newly built homes that check off endless boxes in that quest for a perfect place to live.

No matter your stage in the homebuying process, an Open House can be a great resource!

Not quite ready to engage a realtor? Open Houses are a great way to gain an understanding of the real estate market.

• By visiting multiple types of properties, pricing becomes clearer. Buyers often lock in on a price per square foot but there are other items to consider when budgeting a home purchase. Features such as energy-efficient appliances, lot size, or neighborhood amenities all affect a home’s price point, and seeing why, in person, is incredibly helpful.
• Defining preferences prior to “seriously shopping” for a new home is a great way to save time and reduce conflict. Open Houses are a great resource for determining which items are a must-have versus which have more flexibility.
• Today’s new builds offer a variety of architectural styles and floorplans–things that make more sense when walking within a home.

Ready to start shopping? The knowledge gained above will guide you straight to those Open Houses that will fit your exact needs!

• Open Houses are hosted by local real estate agents who remain on-site to answer questions from visitors. Instead of relying on limited information from a digital home sales site, potential buyers will gain access to an expert on the community.
• When selecting homes to tour, select a mix of pre-owned and new builds. Pre-owned homes offer a glimpse into common maintenance issues that new builds are designed to eliminate! There are endless advantages to purchasing new construction that are quickly revealed upon touring a variety of homes.
• When touring a new community, such as Cotton Farms, it is easy to see the level of interest in a specific neighborhood. What does that tell you? This is a terrific way for buyers to gauge focused market trends. As a community that draws more visitors to its Open Houses will be trending up in home sales, proof that its builders are providing desirable, quality homes.

Open Houses are the perfect “idea bank” for all consumers!

• Newly built homes are an excellent source of inspiration! Today’s home designers create unique floorplans with endless touches that can be useful to everyone. From decor to landscaping to upgrades, Open Houses showcase it all. Feeling the itch to renovate? Add a few Open Houses to your weekend for some terrific ideas!
• Perhaps you are ready to relocate but aren’t sure where to begin in updating your current home. Open houses can give you an idea of what your potential buyers will be looking for and offer a roadmap to a quick, lucrative sale. A secondary benefit? You may fall in love and find your new home!
• Take your time…really! By opting for the Open House, there is no rush. Take your time, walking through each property at your own pace with no worry about a pre-planned schedule that takes you from home to home to home. Look out every window, walk the lawn, and soak it all in!

When the Cotton Farms neighborhood began to take shape, the team knew its location, nestled within the North Carolina countryside, was perfect. As each newly constructed property reaches completion, it is clear that our designers answered the call to create unique, gorgeous homesites throughout the neighborhood. Today, weekends at Cotton Farms are dedicated to showcasing available properties as brand-new doors are opened to welcome future homeowners.
