Welcome to the 2007 Parade of Homes Fall ShowcaseSM

We hope you’ll enjoy touring the work of 338 of the area’s best builders, free of charge. You’ll discover 843 new homes and neighborhoods for you to tour, all across the extended metropolitan area, priced from just over $109,000 to almost $3,000,000.

Planning your Tour

Pick up your free Guidebook at any area Holiday StationStore. You'll find in-depth information to help you navigate the guidebook and how to use this online resource, www.paradeofhomes.org, on page 10 of the Guidebook. By using our online search engines, you can plan your tour even better, by choosing homes within a specific school district, by number of bedrooms and baths, and even square footage. Our key word search can help you locate your own must-have features like screen porches, granite countertops or hickory floors. And, don’t forget to sign on to our on-line Tour Planner which allows you to save your favorites and make notes about what you liked best.

Owners’ Suites: A Soothing Spaces MiniTour

Another great feature this fall are our owners’ suite mini-tours. We’ve selected 17 Parade HomesSM with fabulous owners’ suites and baths for their own tour-within-a-tour. These homes are divided into three fun mini-tours: Elite Retreats (grand million-dollar beauties); EasySuites (townhomes and condos) and Suites Complete (a variety of gorgeous single family homes), and are open all normal Parade of HomesSM hours. What’s more, many of these great homes will be hosting a variety of fun events. Click on the Mini Tour icon on our home page for details, a preliminary event listing and maps that will guide you to the owners’ suite of your dreams.

Dream Homes

I’d also like to invite you to visit our two Dream Homes which aid our charitable arm, the Builders Outreach Foundation. When you visit either of these exceptional million-dollar homes, you’ll be asked to pay a $5.00 tax-deductible admission which goes entirely to the Foundation’s efforts building homes for deserving low-income families. Read more about the Dream Homes and our Foundation inside.

Contests

And, don't forget to register for two excellent Parade of HomesSM giveaways — a fabulous Mexico vacation from Northwest WorldVacations, and a $10,000 spa package from Juut. Register at each Parade HomeSM you visit, or click on contests on our home page.

All of the professional builders and associate members of the Builders Association of the Twin Cities are excited to welcome you into their homes for the 2007 Parade of Homes Fall ShowcaseSM. This is a great time to look at these fabulous new homes, and an even better time to buy. Mortgage rates are still incredibly low but expected to rise. A new home offers exceptional design, durability and value to ensure your home investment into the future. And, you’ll own a new home in a region that continues to be one of the best places in the United States to live.

Welcome!
