Texas food spread across a long table can be an inviting sight to home dwellers and visitors alike. With the right eats and treats, you can enchant potential buyers with old-fashioned Dallas-Fort Worth hospitality, an eagerness to sell, and mood-boosting foods that can convince them to sign on the dotted line. Serve up a sale by offering the following foods during your next open house.
Whet an Appetite for a Sale With Appetizers
Welcome your guests into your DFW home by sitting them at your table for a flavorful appetizer of salsa or guacamole. Salsa boasts a signature Tex-Mex zest due to chiles, which contain the endorphin-generating and calming compound capsaicin. Guests are sure to feel more at home in your house with each bite. The avocado in guacamole promotes dopamine production, which can encourage potential buyers to fall in love with your home!
Add Some Pep to Dishes with Peppers
Entrees that include red peppers can enliven guests and reduce stress — all of which can make them more open to purchasing your home. Chop up some red bell peppers and slide them into a stockpot bubbling with delicious chili, or bake a King Ranch Casserole with them. Shake a little cumin or turmeric into your five-star chili recipe to boost your guests’ moods. For an extra pop of fun in your meal, consider incorporating cooked chili into a legendary Texan Frito pie.
Allow Guests to Grill You While Eating Barbecue
Put any Texan’s DNA under a microscope and you’re likely to see the letters “BBQ” encoded into it. Eating barbecue is one of the tried-and-true ways to celebrate the heritage of Lone Star State, and grilling can afford you the ability to make a large meal for open house visitors with little fuss. Choosing to serve barbecue can offer you the perfect environment to show off your spacious backyard, outdoor deck, or impressive grilling area. It can also provide a laid-back atmosphere that can facilitate an informal Q&A session about your home. If you’d rather skip the pit, slow-cook some brisket in a crock pot for some succulent Texas flavor.
Dig Into Dessert
Encourage potential buyers to go nuts for your home by making a dessert that features pecans. Grab a handful of native pecans to top sheet cakes, bind pralines, or bake a traditional pecan pie. This Texas food staple is guaranteed to inspire visions of homegrown happiness. Best of all, the magnesium in pecans can boost the energy levels of your guests. This can be a boon for you, if you’re hosting your open house during the middle of the week and on a workday. A kernel of your enthusiasm can explode into an intense excitement to buy with the help of this unassuming hickory nut.
