What Is the Parade of Homes?

The Parade of Homes is the largest open house event in the Triangle, organized annually by the Home Builders Associations of Raleigh-Wake and Durham, Orange & Chatham Counties. It’s a free, self-guided tour that invites the public to explore newly built homes across the region.

The Parade was created to:

  • Showcase the latest in new home design, technology, and energy efficiency
  • Help buyers compare different builders and floor plans in one convenient event
  • Highlight communities where growth and opportunity are happening
  • Give Realtors a chance to introduce clients to builders they can trust

For buyers, the Parade is a rare opportunity to see multiple builders side-by-side and discover which homes feel right for their lifestyle. For Realtors, it’s an invaluable tool to connect clients with options they may not have considered before.

In the Triangle, the Parade has grown into a fall tradition, drawing thousands of visitors each year. Whether you’re shopping seriously or just starting your home search, the event is an unmatched resource.
