The start of Fall brings cooler Triangle area weather, college football, the NC State Fair and… the official start of the45th Annual Wake County Parade of Homes.  Sponsored by the Wake County Home Builders Association, the 2010 Wake County Parade of Homes features over 180 homes and will run the weekends of October 8-10 and 15 and 17.  Hours for the event are noon to 5 pm each day.

Some believe that the Parade of Homes is simply a dream home tour, and while you can get some amazing decorating and remodeling ideas from the homes on tour, you could very realistically find YOUR new home.  Homes on the Parade tour this year are trending towards a lower average price and square footage. Just another reason it is not just a great time to buy a home, but a SMART time to buy a home.  Click here to search a complete list of Wake County Parade of Homes. 

The Durham, Orange and Chatham Counties 2010 Parade of Homes also kicks off this weekend with 39 beautiful homes on tour. Here is a complete list of the builders and neighborhoods with homes on the parade tour in the Durham, Orange and Chatham area. 
 

Also getting ready to start their showcase of homes is the Alamance-Caswell Home Builders Association.  Their 2010 Parade of Homes begins this weekend as well, but differs from the others as it only runs for two weekends.  Check out the builders and communities on tour in this area as well.
