It’s that time of year again.  Time for the Parade of Homes sponsored by the Wake County Home Builder’s Association.  The Parade of Homes started last weekend and runs for the next two weekends.  The Parade homes are open from 12-5 pm on October 10-12 and 17-19.

This is the 43rd Parade and there are almost 400 homes on display.  Most are professionally decorated and all are priced to sell.  Homes on Parade range in price from $125,000 to $3,150,000.  There’s something for everyone.

Even if you’re not in the market to buy a new home right now, it can be fun just to look and there are tons of great decorating ideas you may be able to use to breathe some new life into your home.

And if you are in the market for a new home, a Parade home can be a very good deal.  Usually the builders put all the bells and whistles into a Parade home and those upgrades do not always show up at full price.  I personally live in a 2007 Parade home and have quite a few upgrades I’m able to enjoy that I likely would not have asked for (or cared to pay for) otherwise.

I hope to see you at the Parade!
