I always pick up a HomesGuide or paper and check out the local areas ... and when driving down the road I often stop and pick up a brochure (if there is one available) ... it's fun! I love comparing the market to my own.

I was glancing around from the tour vans on my recent vacation and noticing real estate offices and signs. Didn't look for costs or details though.

Always. I am always curious. I try to look for those real estate magazines at the grocery store.
Here's one from a recent trip to Ireland.

I used to, but really don't anymore. If I'm on vacation I don't really want to be thinking about real estate. I don't go to open houses at home, certainly don't do it elsewhere.

I have made a couple of trips to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina recently. I drove in the beach towns on the NC/SC state line (Ocean Isle, Sunset Beach, Cherry Grove Beach, Calabash) to see what's for sale. Surfed the internet to check prices, grabbed some local Homes and Lands magazines and perused them.

I Always go to the tax collection office and PAY for a list of property with some city action filed.
Then I start checking out the present real estate.
I do visit open houses.
I do not announce myself as an agent.

I usually grab a Homes and Land or equivalent magazine if I run across one. I went to an open house at the Oregon coast and actually considered buying a coastal property because we go their yearly. But otherwise, I don't attend open houses. -Kasey

Yes, I'm curious about the market in areas outside of my coverage area so I will peruse the local listings. I only went to an Open House outside of town (to look only) once.

Absolutely, and had a great time touring open houses in Vancouver a couple years ago. It was a million dollar property with a great view of the City.

Yes. I always check the local market to see if it fits an expansion of Huggins Homes. Most recently I looked at the Cottswolds, several cities in Ireland, Quebec City and Ottawa. HugginsTown, Ireland is looking like a viable option for our International expansion.

Absolutely!!! I find it intersting and it's great to chat with local agents to and find out what's going on in their market.

Only online, I wouldn't go to open houses. I'm always curious about home prices in other states even if I'm not traveling to the area.

Jeff Dowler, CRS my extent of checking out other areas would be picking up a RE rag and looking at a few listings. I do NOT go to local opens unless a client asks me to go with them.
