Wake County, NC Real Estate, HomeBuilders Association Parade of Homes, 2007 is upon us!

This weekend the Homebuilders Association of Wake County debuts the eagerly anticipated 2007  Parade of Homes.

This is the 42nd edition of the Parade, and as usual, will offer the finest that local, regional, and national Builders offer to consumers.  A most enjoyable detail:  There is no fee for admission or tickets.  This is a free promotional event as the Builders show off their skills and the neighborhoods.

With over 200 builders presenting nearly 400 homes ranging in price from $120,000 to $4,495,000, it will be a feast for the Buyer, and also for the dedicated window shopper.  Many homes will be decorated to the maximum and some of the most desirable locations in Wake County will be featured.  With a tradition like that, it is no wonder that many thousands of people will turn out on a nice weekend to view new homes and discover the latest trends in construction, floor plan, and decor.

The Parade opens this Saturday, September 29 and runs weekends through October 14, 2007.  Guidebooks are available from your real estate agent or at one of the participating homes.  Demand is great, so don't wait to the last minute to get your guidebook.

Homes are open from Noon to 5:00 PM on the following days:

Saturday, September 29, 2007

Sunday, September 30, 2007

Friday October 5, 2007

Saturday, October 6, 2007

Sunday, October 7, 2007

Friday, October 12, 2007

Saturday, October 13, 2007

Sunday, October 14, 2007

On October 27 and 28, 2007, there will be a bonus.  Several homes that have been thoroughly renovated and updated in desirable locations will also be opened to the public as some of our finest remodelers show off their skills.  These homes are featured in the back of the Parade of Homes guide.

And this year my friends, Craig Rutman and Linda Jandura are marketing a new community, and asked for help.  I have offered to work in the community model home at L'Hermitage, in Apex, NC.  It will be fun to observe the traffic from the "other side."

Mike,

Even I plan to visit a few of these homes for ideas for myself.

Hi, Susan!

I am only working a couple of days, since my wife wants me to chauffer her around to various communities.  But I enjoy it tremendously.

Mike,

I am surprised by the great range in prices.  You have everything from starter homes to multi-million dollar estates.  I bet it is fun to visit them all.

Rita,

I was talking with a client today, and told her I don't think any one person sees ALL 400 of them, ever.

But I see my share.  My wife will see to that.  :)

Hello,

I've been out to several communities that I thought would have at least one decorated home, and was surprised to find the only "decorative" elements  were paint, tilework and heavy trim. 

Friday this week is my last chance to see the Parade.  Does anyone have a listing of decorated homes that they've seen, or know of?  Anything from minimally staged to full blown, move in ready, and anywhere in between is what I'm looking for. 

I'd also like to ask about killer outdoor areas that you've seen.  I've seen lots of screened porches and patios, but not much in the way of firpelaces/pits, cooking centers,water features or landscaping.  Anyone have a fovorite they'd rec'mnd checking out?

 I've emailed HBA, but thought I'd get the word out to the housing junkies too.

 Thaks for your input.  Happy House Hunting!  Nancy

Nancy,

Centex, Lennar, and other national builders will have decorated models.

I have hosted in the Model Home, a 4000 SF townhome at L'Hermitage, on Olive Chapel Road in Apex, and the model is thoroughly decorated.
