5 Surprising Open House Food Ideas That Can Help You Sell Faster

It’s not just an updated kitchen, bathroom, or curb appeal that’ll bring buyers to an open house - it’s also the food! To help you impress potential clients and send the right message, Josh Schoenly - eXp Realty, LLC, has compiled the following trendy and tasty open house food ideas for you.

Eggplant Parm Chips

While they might somehow look like traditional chips, eggplant parm chips skirt the line between snack and dinner. As a result, it’s a sure deal in sparking a conversation with a potential client.

Mulled Pom-Apple Cider

A pot of warm cider doubles at your open house - it’ll warm up the guests and infuse the house with an apple-cinnamon aroma. Simply leave the cider in a slow cooker on low heat so that it’s warm regardless of when the prospective buyers arrive.

Prosciutto-Wrapped Avocado with Goat Cheese and Arugula

The keto-friendly wraps will please any prospect’s taste buds. Just ensure that you slice them into small portions, roll them well, and serve on toothpicks.

Pumpkin Caramels

Even when your guests don’t want a snack while they’re at your open house, chewy caramels studded with pumpkin seeds are an excellent take-for-the-road snack. The guests will be reminded of your home as they peel off the snack wrapper - and might just come back with an offer.

Lemon Bars

If you find the smell of chocolate chip cookies too heavy, or simply want to avoid the open house clichés, then some sweet, tangy lemon bars might do the trick. They’ll fill your house with a bright, energizing scent that’ll attract potential clients.

The Takeaway

The takeaway here - and we’re not talking about the food - is that trendy food ideas can make your open house more inviting and could be a way to spark conversations with potential clients. But you also need a skilled realtor to ensure you get the very best offer.
