Looking for a home in the Twin Cities area? Want to scout out local builders’ newest models? Is house hunting your favorite pastime?
Then you’ll likely want to hop on the Twin Cities Parade of Homes route this year—there are 390 model homes from local homebuilders to tour in the region, from Minneapolis to Edina to the nearby suburbs.
That’s enough perusing to keep you busy for four fall weekends. The tour, presented by the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC) starts September 12, 2015, and goes until October 4, 2015, with homes open Thursdays through Sundays, from noon to 6 p.m. All homes on the parade route are free to tour, with the exception of four homes that request a $5 donation to help build and remodel homes for area families in need.
Tour these 390 drool-worthy abodes—some completely new, some remodeled—to find a few that speak to your style. Even if you’re not ready to sign on the dotted line, touring is a good way to locate an in-area homebuilder that you can work with in the future.
The homes you can tour range in price from $184,900 for a two-bedroom, one-bath rambler style single family in an association-maintained neighborhood to a whopping $3,750,000 for a five-bedroom, seven-bath, 10,000 square foot home that sits on two acres in Wayzata. Find the parade map online (where you can plan a route of your selected homes via the Trip Planner), or snag a free hard copy from any in-area Holiday Stationstore.
Start your parade route by scoping out the available homes in your favorite Twin Cities neighborhoods. Once you pull in the driveway, take note of the homebuilder’s details. Before you beeline for the kitchen, like most house hunters do, check out the home’s exterior particulars, too.
Seventy-two homes on the tour are 100% HARDIE homes built by 25 different 100% HARDIE builders, that means the home’s exterior siding and trim are made from James Hardie’s durable fiber cement. What does that mean for the homebuyer?
- The siding is fire resistant and can help stand up to worst-case weather scenarios—we’re looking at you, Minnesota winter.
- 100% HARDIE Homes are backed by industry leading warranties and a 10-year manufacturer extended service commitment.
- Your home’s hues won’t be limited. James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology comes in 25 colors and 12 trim colors—all fade resistant and well curated.
Happy parading and be sure to check out these 100% HARDIE homes on your parade route:
