"Friday isn’t a holiday, but there will be a parade.

The 65th annual Parade of Homes, sponsored by the Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs, kicks off Friday and runs through Aug. 18.

The event is the homebuilding industry’s yearly showcase — highlighting construction trends and giving the public a peek at the latest appliances, interior design concepts, building materials, finishes, landscaping and other housing features.

This year’s Parade of Homes spotlights nearly 30 homes by 22 builders in the Pikes Peak region. Featured communities include Banning Lewis Ranch, Flying Horse and Wolf Ranch; other homes are around Colorado Springs and Monument. Home prices range from the mid-$200,000s to more than $2.5 million.

Display homes will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays; homes are closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

Tickets are $15 for ages 16 and up; children 15 and under get in free. Tickets can be purchased at area Safeway stores, at homes featured in the parade and at cshba.ticketleap.com/65th-annual-parade-of-homes. Each ticket is good for a tour of all parade homes throughout the 17-day event."

Friday, Aug 2 (today) is the start.

If you have been absent from new home buying for 25 years, be prepared for a shock.

Whenever we go we return feeling very lucky to own our current home.

I don't understand why I would pay money to go look at homes that are for sale. I could go any other weekend and not be charged for the privilege.

Not all Parade homes are available for viewing as a percentage of them are already sold. They also are all completely furnished and have completed landscaping. They are designed as a showcase of options available to local buyers and by local contractors and outfitters that you may not get to see by simply visiting an open house of a single or few places for sale.
