-Offer food! In the summer have a BBQ, bake some cookies, etc... I have done this many times and while it doesn't get the public to come to an open house, it does make them remember it. This is a good way to lure real estate agents to an open house! Offer them lunch to come take a look when you first list your home, this will help you get their feedback on the property and the price.
-Invite your neighbors, they are generally curious and they will provide good word of mouth to potential buyers. Leave a flyer on their front porch or in their mailbox with the date and time and a personal note asking them to stop by.
-Advertise your open house online as much as you can. Your agent will put it on Craigslist and in the MLS, but think beyond that, twitter, facebook and other social media sites are free and reach your local community.
-Think outside the box: pick an unusual time like in the evening to show off the sunset from your deck or have a happy hour and offer wine. Trying something different might bring out a group of people that wouldn't normally come to a Sunday morning open house.
In addition to the above ideas it is always important to make sure that your home is as clean as it can be for your open house so that buyers see the house and not your belongings. It is also important that you let your Realtor host an open house for you, potential buyers tend to be more honest and ask better questions without a homeowner present.
Happy Sunday!
