Fun question Michael.  I look back on those Sundays that we took the ole station wagon out and just drove.  Sometimes another family would join us.  Ah and that was possible because we had the early version of todays.  SUV.  "THE STATION WAGON!"  

Funny question...YES we did. My parents liked to dream, I feel in love with every big house. Eventually their dream came true 3 years before I left the roost.

Yes,  I was a weird kid(and now a weird adult).  I use to scour the Sunday newspaper and find new developments to visit.  

No, never. 

Well except tours of historic homes/mansions like in Newport, Mt Vernon, several from the gilded age in our area, castles in Europe, etc.

Too funny you should ask this question. On a Saturday or Sunday after church, we would tour model homes. I was very young, so I'm not sure of the Towns, although it must have been somewhere in upstate, NY. Don't think I was too fond of it. I do however know my Dad still house hunts in the Southern States.

yes... but it was my mom and me, she was a realtor, so it was our work/fun. i still love looking at homes, but i am a bit more jaded

Michael Thacker - I was in IT and never thought I'd be in Real Estate!

The only time we visited homes at open house was when we were buying our first home - and that time, I was in IT.

My grandparents were Realtors/Brokers.

My Parents were Realtors.

YES we did. But, as kids we loved exploring those big homes, as teens, not so much. I swore I'd never get into the family business. 

Never

I do not remember ever doing that growing up.

My husband & I did when we vacationed in resort areas... like Palm Springs.  Not locally.  

no, never.... when I was younger, there wasn't much construction going on.... my parents did buy a new home and that's where I lived until college....

No, not when I was younger. Now that I am OLD, I still don' t do it.

Thank goodness, there are a great many who do accept those open house invitations.

No, unless we were really looking to move.

No, only when we were trying to buy one.

My mother enjoyed going to open houses just for fun.

Michael,

We never did growing up. But then my parents have lived in the same house for over 50 years.

No, we never toured homes. Growing up in Hollywood (Los Angeles area) driving wasn't how we relaxed on a weekend. BBQs, going to the beach, a family baseball game were more our style.

Only when we were actually looking into moving in the next year or so. I always enjoyed those open houses and builder tours.

We didn't. That came later.

Never even considered any of these things.

Never, not once! Not something you did in New York City.

No, I had no interest until I was an adult.  I moved to California from Detroit in 1975 and quickly realized the difference in housing between these two communities.  Back east a home was a place to live but in California a home was an investment.  The concept of living in something, using it and making money the longer it was use made housing something I'd love to be a part of.
