Prospective home buyers in the NC Triangle were the sourced audience.

The organizer describes it as the Triangle’s largest open house.

It was worth a visit for prospective buyers in the NC Triangle who wanted to compare new construction, since the tour was free, needed no ticket, and covered homes across Durham, Orange and Chatham counties at budget to grand estate price points. It offered less to people not shopping for a new build in that area.

Visitors to home tours typically wear casual, comfortable clothing and shoes that slip on and off easily, since they walk through many houses and some are under construction. October weekends in North Carolina are mild, so layers suited walking between sites in the afternoon.
