North Texas Home Builders Association

Parade of Homes

Preparations have begun for the 2010 Parade of Homes that opens Saturday, June 19th, and runs through Sunday, June 27th.

Sponsored by the North Texas Home Builders Association, the Parade of Homes also benefits Habitat For Humanity.

Doug McCulloch, president of the North Texas Home Builders Association, said, “The Parade is your opportunity to conveniently tour several homes in an evening or during a weekend, seeing the improvements in home design and construction being made by our industry. We also invite you to tour the latest Habitat For Humanity home and see how this organization is helping area citizens fulfill their dream of home ownership.”

Visitors to each year’s parade homes see many of the latest features and construction techniques. They see homes in a wide range of sizes and prices. Everything from starter homes to two-story luxury executive homes is included in each year’s Parade.

McCulloch noted that today’s homes are much more energy efficient than homes built 10 or 20 years ago. Floor plans are much more flexible with less hallways and wasted space. New innovations and materials also make these homes a better value from older homes.

A highlight of each year’s Parade is the “Showcase Home” built through the cooperation of the associate members of the North Texas Home Builders Association. Craftsmen, subcontractors, and suppliers provide labor and supplies to build the “Showcase Home” where visitors will see everything new that the industry has to offer.

Hours for the Parade of Homes are from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. Representatives of the various builders will be present in their homes to answer questions and offer assistance. A ticket is just $5 per person and gets a visitor into every home on the Parade.
