Take a Voyeuristic Vacation and Visit the Open Houses of Instagram

We love to look at open houses. You should, too. There’s no shame in walking through the front door of an open house and peering around. No one will call you nosy—that’s the point!

Make this weekend a voyeuristic vacation and scope out a few open homes in your area. It’ll give you a great feel for home features you can’t live without. Stroll through the rooms and size ’em up. Amble through the backyard and assess the space. Most important, check out the curb appeal.

Now’s your chance to shop around and find a home you can fall in love with. To help you along, we’ve uncovered the coolest open houses on Instagram this week. Come on in and take a look around…
