I orefer not to do open houses for the majority of listings. They work well for new construction and condo listings though for lead generation. If i have an open house, 2-4 on Sat or 2-14 on Sunday in winter (non football season) and early spring

Hi Praful -- it depends.
Often I will plan the first showings of a property around an Open House event and it will be extended hours on a Sunday 12-5PM(usual times 2-4). It needs to be coordinated with lots of signing and on/offline marketing. I've had people waiting for the open house to begin.
I also will hold Saturday open houses(typically not as large a draw)when the property is newly listed as well as using weekday broker caravans/tours as opportunities to expose the property as an Open House event too.

I started my open house at around 1:00 today and I was planning to close at 4:30.
My policy is to stay until people stop showing up. Unfortunately, that kept me there until about 7:00 tonight, which is not at all typical.
I don't think there's any ideal time for an open house. Show up and the people will come as long as you have good signage.

1-4 Sunday seems to be the most popular. But if Redskins are playing that Sunday, it's best to do them on Saturday or not at all.

Think 1-3 pm has been the best turnout in our area on Saturday or Sunday.

To each their own, I have tried different days and times but Sunday 1-4pm seems to be the best.

The local practice here in Northern VA is Sunday from 1-4pm, though some agents do 1-3pm or 2-4pm, but almost always Sundays. I have tried Saturday opens and they just don't get the same traffic, since people are conditioned to having them on Sunday afternoon.

I have had more success on Sunday 1 pm - 3 pm. I originally went until 4 pm, but I found that the people who showed up the last hour were just "kicking tires"

Here in the south on Sundays from 2-4. This gives people a chance to go to church, have brunch, then attend an open house.
