01 / THE EVENTS

What is the
Parade of Homes?

The Parade of Homes is a ticketed open house of new homes, run by local builder associations, where visitors walk through finished homes and judges and the public pick winners. We take part in two:

The Boise Parade of Homes is run by the Building Contractors Association of Southwestern Idaho, with a spring Parade in May and a fall Parade in October. The Snake River Valley Parade of Homes, also called the Canyon County Parade, is run by the Snake River Valley Building Contractors Association each June and covers homes in Canyon, Owyhee, Gem and Payette counties. Both judge homes by price category, and the Boise Parade adds a People's Choice vote.

03 / WHY WE DO IT

Why we open our
homes to the Parade.

A Parade home is where we get to show what we can do when the brief is simply our best work. It is also the most honest test there is: visitors walk through, open every cabinet and tell us what they think. Bob is often on site to answer questions, and at the fall Parade we handed out custom-made cookies and warm cider.

If a Parade home inspired you, most of them started as one of our floor plans, so you can build The Jane, The Cody or another plan on your own lot.

“Thank you for all the people that came out to the 'Jane'... Awesome to see that people still appreciate quality and attention to detail.”
