Open house: Sat., Feb. 4
Location: Austin, Texas
Price: $550,000

That way, a year from now, when you're hosting your own Super Bowl party from this five-bedroom stunner, you can brag to guests (from the built-in wet bar, of course) about how you snagged your dream house on Super Bowl weekend but didn't miss a minute of the action.

Open house: Sun., Feb. 5
Location: Short Hills, N.J.
Price: $669,000
Property details: New Jersey football fans have a lot at stake this Super Bowl Sunday. The Giants' helmets might say "New York," but just about everything else about the team is Garden State, through and through. Which is precisely why hosting an open house in this rustic three-bedroom on Super Bowl Sunday is such a gutsy move. But when your house has charm to spare, why not go for the Hail Mary play? Besides, the tour runs from noon to 4 p.m., giving Big Blue fans plenty of time to make it home by kickoff.
