Why Use Open House Signs?
If you read our post on signs, you know there are many options. But you’re here to learn about open house signs, so we’ll jump right into it.
Signs are important because they tell the public that you’re open for public showings. How many times has a nosy neighbor poked their head into your open house, only to be impressed by what he sees? Even if he doesn’t buy a house, it’s still given you the option to add to your Rolodex. And what made this possible? The open house sign!
Sign Material Suggestions
There are many types of signs available, but you’ll want to use corrugated plastic. Not only is this material cheap to produce, but plastic can be dyed before being molded, meaning it’ll fade less than a metal sign with a sticker would.
Let’s face it – you’re putting signs on high-visibility corners to increase awareness about your open house. Sometimes you’ll need 3 or 4 directional signs that lead the home buyer to your listing. Because of this, you don’t want to risk leaving an expensive metal sign unattended, as it could be stolen or removed.
H-frame yard signs can be purchased in bulk for far less than their solid metal counterparts, which means that they are perfect for use as open house signs. Ever seen a “we buy houses for cash” sign on a street corner? This is the type we’re talking about.

Open House Sign Ideas
1. One of our favorites, this sign combines color with a dark base to make your name pop. This open house signs would look best along a neighborhood street because of its elegance.
2. Designed to blend well with a classic logo, this sign catches the eye but is not too overpowering. This would be ideal for busy street corners because we’re confident nobody would miss this design.
3. This sign is versatile and would look good in any neighborhood. It has more detail than others but does not overwhelm the reader with too much information.
4. Best suited for light-colored logos, this sign is best suited for landscapes void of color. For example, Arizona has an abundance of light brown dirt, so this open house sign would catch the eye better than one with a white background.
5. As our favorite template, it’s natural that it shares colors with or own REthority logo. Blending a directional sign with style itself, this template offers an abstract take on the traditional open house sign.
6. Here’s another take on #5. I like the wider arrow because it also looks like a house. Also, we’re sure nobody will drive by without seeing this sign. Heck, you could see that arrow from the Space Station.
7. Here’s another example of an open house sign that combines style with elegance. The “open house” is not obnoxious like others we’ve seen, so this is well suited for a neighborhood.
8. Eye-catching and modern, this open house sign would stand out well against both grass and dirt. We love the versatility of the colors and the abstract design that mimics a roof.
9. Talk about a versatile template. It’s clear there is an open house, but also allows you to display your logo. Whether your colors are green, yellow, red, or blue, it’ll look good on the white background.
10. Our final design is bold and red. Not all logos would look good on here, and you’ll need to make sure you have a transparent .PNG file to allow the red to be visible. However, there’s no debating that your open house will be noticed with this sign.
