Visiting open houses and model homes, a favorite pastime for mother-daughter bonding between the two main characters in the hit movie “Lady Bird,” may become more enticing for potential home buyers in the Washington region.
The events, which take place at several new communities on weekends through early April, go beyond a simple tour of a model home. Potential buyers can test drive a Mini Cooper around each neighborhood and sample food from nearby restaurants. Each visitor will take home a bag with special offers and samples from local businesses curated by Miller & Smith staff at each community.
Visitors who take pictures in the photo booth at an open house and share their thoughts about what’s most important to them about their house-hunting experience will be entered to win a two-year Mini Cooper lease. Participants who buy a home during the regional promotion will be entered to win a home design from Kerra Michele, a D.C. interior designer known for her lifestyle blog “Apartment Envy.”

• Feb. 24 to 25 at Cayden Ridge in Manassas, Va.
• March 17 to 18 at Aspen North at Lake Linganore in New Market, Md., and at Tallyn Ridge in Frederick, Md.
