I encourage browsing. Your home is one of your biggest assets, and staying aware of what’s on the market helps you understand trends, values, and design ideas. Open houses are meant to welcome both serious buyers and curious neighbors. As long as you’re respectful, you’re not wasting anyone’s time. In fact, it’s a smart way to compare finishes, layouts, and pricing in your area. A bonus tip (and super helpful for us agents): provide honest feedback!

I agree with others....each district will answer differently. For example, in Boca Raton, Florida (which is in the Palm Beach School District) there are many Choice programs where parents apply to have their children attend the school for a specific program. And, these are generally not dependent on where you live. And, it's tough to predict so far in the future what programs may exist for your children as they grow-up. So, continue to monitor any changes and seek answers from your district.
