"Sleep on It" is a new show from HGTV that promotes the idea that home buyers can only get to know a home by living in it.

The show debuted earlier this month and begs the question - will homeowners and Realtors implement this idea in the real world?

Is a slumber party necessary to get the feel of a home? I doubt it. I don't think much more than the comfort level of the mattress or how quiet the neighborhood is can be gained from an extended stay.

I think hosting a party, a real estate marketing technique that's been in use for a long time, is a better alternative.

One great opportunity would be to take advantage of the upcoming Super Bowl Game by hosting a Super Bowl Party. This will demonstrate not only how comfortable your home is but also how great it is for entertaining.
