HBA of Winston-Salem Celebrates 50 Years of Fall Parades!
Your Dream Home is within Your Reach!
The Home Builders Association of Winston-Salem recently celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Fall Parade of Homes. This event, sponsored by BB&T, provided prospective home buyers two weekends of touring 40 homes and 8 developments throughout Forsyth County and the surrounding area. There was a little bit of something for everyone with home prices ranging from $169,000 to $899,900.
“Home buyer and shopper attendance was up and steady across all entries, with several homes going under contract before the parade weekend and a couple going under contract during the event,” said Steve McSwain, the president of the Home Builders Association of Winston-Salem. “The mood of the home shoppers was very upbeat.”
McSwain also said the trend in many of the homes had nice open floor plans with great flow and a nice balance of natural light. Larger kitchens were also a big theme.
The Parade of Homes Awards and Celebration Event was held at the Milton Rhodes Center for Arts in downtown Winston-Salem. The event was sponsored by Pine Hall Brick and Stock Building Supply. Kelly Landreth and Josh Greer served as chair and co-chair of the Parade, respectively. “We appreciate the dedication from the HBA staff and the commitment from the builders who participate to make this event such a huge success,” Greer commented.
For the first time, a Platinum Award was given to a builder who had the “Best in Parade” home. The winner was Sam Morgan of Morgan Builders for his entry at 2480 Lansford Court, Clemmons and located in Milburn off of Styers Ferry Road. “It is a tremendous honor to win the first ever Platinum Award and I appreciate all the hard work by the HBA in putting together another successful Parade of Homes,” Morgan said.
A complete list of gold and silver winners can be found on the Home Builders website at www.hbaws.net
Jerry Herman, the Executive Director of the Home Builders Association, said “ This local event has become very popular as consumers look forward to seeing the work of our quality builders as well as new products and services from our associate members. It is always exciting to see these fine products finished and spotlighted each year!” For more information: paradeofhomesws.com
