Sunday is the bigger open house day in Los Angeles County, and the open houses in the city of Los Angeles are why. When I pulled the list on October 3, 2026, 1,652 homes had a Sunday open house running into the late afternoon, against 928 on Saturday.

Outside the city limits the two days come out much closer. Price matters too: the homes that open only on Sunday skew more expensive.

How I Counted

I pulled the site’s public open house feed for all 32 places a little after 3 p.m. Pacific on Saturday, October 3, and counted one record per home, not per session. By that hour, Saturday sessions that had already ended were off the list, so a raw count would shortchange Saturday. To compare like with like, the main numbers below count only homes with a session still running at 3 p.m. or later on each day.

• 2,493 unique homes and 3,492 sessions in the feed’s 14-day window.
• 22 builder model homes (Toll Brothers, TRI Pointe, Pulte, Taylor Morrison and three others) left out of the day counts: 18 open Saturday and 21 Sunday.
• No Opendoor or other self-tour listings this weekend.
• 34 sessions listed with start times between midnight and 2:30 a.m., running 14 to 16 hours, left out of the start-time counts as bad feed times.

Sunday Has More Homes

On the matched afternoon window, Sunday carries about 1.8 homes for every one on Saturday. Counting every Sunday session, morning included, 2,162 homes have a Sunday open house.

• Saturday, sessions running at 3 p.m. or later: 928 homes.
• Sunday, same window: 1,652 homes.
• Sunday, all sessions: 2,162 homes.
• Of the 928 Saturday homes, 666 (72 percent) are also open Sunday.

That last figure is the one I’d plan around. Most Saturday homes get a second chance on Sunday, but 1,496 of Sunday’s 2,162 homes had no Saturday session left on the list.

The City of Los Angeles Drives the Gap

The city of Los Angeles accounts for most of the difference: 1,042 homes on Sunday afternoon against 423 on Saturday. The other 31 places on the site add up to 610 on Sunday and 505 on Saturday.

The Westside leans hardest. Santa Monica’s list has 75 homes open Sunday and 14 on Saturday, and 65 of those Sunday homes had no Saturday session on the list. Fifty-one of its Sunday sessions run from 2 to 5 p.m.

Cities Where Saturday Holds Even

In the South Bay and the Gateway cities, the matched counts are close to a tie, so Saturday covers nearly as much ground.

• Long Beach open houses: 68 Saturday, 63 Sunday.
• Torrance: 37 Saturday, 36 Sunday.
• Redondo Beach: 37 on each day.
• West Covina: 19 on each day.
• Downey: 13 Saturday, 11 Sunday.

Long Beach shows why the window matters. Counting all of Sunday, it has 95 homes, because 32 of its Sunday homes have sessions that end by 3 p.m. Its Saturday list would also have been longer before the morning sessions dropped off.

Pasadena’s list sits in between, with 48 homes on Saturday afternoon and 68 on Sunday.

Sunday Homes Are Priced Higher

The median asking price of Saturday’s afternoon homes is about $1 million. Sunday’s is about $1.3 million. The top of the market is where the days split.

• Under $750,000: 218 Saturday homes (23 percent) and 270 Sunday homes (16 percent).
• $2 million and up: 115 Saturday homes (12 percent) and 468 Sunday homes (28 percent).
• Next weekend, October 10 and 11, early list: median about $1.2 million Saturday and $1.38 million Sunday.

The price pattern and the city pattern overlap. Of the 468 Sunday homes at $2 million and up, 417 are in the city of Los Angeles or Santa Monica, and both lean Sunday. If I were shopping under $750,000, the day would matter much less than the city.

Start Times on Each Day

Open houses here are an afternoon event on both days, and Sunday starts about an hour later. Sunday’s sessions were all still on the list, since none had started when I pulled it.

• Sunday 2 p.m. starts: 876 of 2,181 sessions (40 percent).
• Sunday 1 p.m. starts: 721 (33 percent).
• Sunday noon starts: 309 (14 percent).
• Sunday starts before noon: 234 (11 percent).
• Saturday sessions still listed: 1 p.m. is the most common start (416), ahead of 2 p.m. (317).

Saturday’s earlier sessions were already gone, so its full start-time mix can’t be read from this pull. The next weekend points the same way, though: on the early list for October 10, 21 of 43 homes start at 1 p.m., and for October 11, 27 of 61 start at 2 p.m. In practice, a Sunday that runs from 1 to 5 p.m. covers most of the list.

Hawthorne and Lakewood This Weekend

Two smaller lists from the South Bay and the Gateway cities show how the split plays out city by city.

Open houses in Hawthorne come to 15 homes on Sunday and 8 on Saturday, and 7 of the Saturday homes are open both days. Sunday’s list runs from $580,000 to about $1.6 million, and four of its homes have sessions that end by 3 p.m.

Lakewood’s list is steadier. All 8 Saturday homes are open Sunday too, and Sunday adds 3 more, for 11. Asking prices run from $799,900 to about $1.03 million. For Lakewood, the hour matters more than the day.

What the Split Means for Planning

If I were planning a weekend from this list, I’d give Saturday to the cities where it holds even, like Long Beach and Torrance, and keep Sunday for the city of Los Angeles and the Westside, where most homes open only that day. A home open both days would go to whichever day leaves the other one freer.

The list also fills in late. When I pulled it on October 3, the following weekend had only 43 homes on Saturday and 61 on Sunday. Checking early in the week makes the next weekend look empty.
