in their property. like taking it out for a test drive. exactly. a test cocktail party. does this help to spark a bidding war? that would be fantastic. if i had a crystal ball i might be able to tell you that. with the party winding down, we check in with the hostess. did you get an offer for the house? we did not. the next couple of weeks we will figure out who the owner of the property is. she remains confident because after all i will sell this house today. reporter: for nightline, i m juju chang in shrewsbury, massachusetts. annette bening there. i don t know that all of that is necessary.
