Tomorrow, Saturday, June 28th and Sunday, June 29th are the last two days to take advantage of this year’s Peoria New Home Extravaganza! This event is sponsored by the members of the Home Builders Association of Greater Peoria. The 2008 edition of the 17th Annual Parade of Homes Tour is billed as the largest collection of new home construction in the Tri-county area. You can take a free-style cruise to your choice of one or all of the homes on parade. Just remember, the event is FREE!

Showcase Parade Homes versus Featured Parade Homes?

There are two types of homes on the parade – Featured Homes and Showcase Homes. If you are wondering what the difference is between a Featured Home and a Showcase Home, here is a brief description of the two categories. “Featured Homes” are homes that are almost completed and provide visitors an opportunity to recognize the stages of home construction. Featured homes also allow you the Peoria home buyer to select grades of flooring, including hardwoods, carpet along with choices of cabinetry.

Showcase Homes on Parade

When you visit a “Showcase Home“, you will immediately notice the construction process on these parade homes is complete. Many builders have “staged” their homes with accessories and furniture. Builders of Showcase Homes have also created outstanding curb appeal with landscaping to really make these Peoria properties POP!
