The Minnesota Association of REALTORS® (MNAR) and MAAR are partnering to bring you the first Minnesota Statewide Open House Weekend. We want REALTORS®, you, around the state to hold open houses on August 21 and 22, during Statewide Open House Weekend. We hope that your clients who have listed their homes for sale will open their doors with a REALTOR® as a host. And, we hope that those of you representing buyers will be out in force as well.

MNAR will work to make the public aware of Statewide Open House Weekend - August 21 & 22. The public needs to know that this is still an incredible time to buy a home. Why?

• We have historically low interest rates
• There are a wide variety of homes available in many different price ranges
• The Minnesota economy is picking up and the unemployment rate is among the lowest in the country

How the event be promoted?

MNAR is working on advertisement placement in the Star Tribune and Pioneer Press, as well as outstate Minnesota publications in the week leading up to Statewide Open House Weekend. Balloons will also be available at MAAR the week preceding the event. Use the balloons to indicate your participation in Statewide Open House Weekend.
