It's Saturday morning, you've got your paper and your coffee and now you're planning your day based on what's listed.
Not to worry -- your day and part of your next three weeks' worth of entertainment unfolds today. The 2011 Fall Parade of Homes officially opens at noon today, Saturday, Sept. 17, and runs through Saturday, Oct. 8.
This year, the Manitoba Home Builders' Association is proud to present 100 new homes on display for everyone to enjoy.
Show-home hours are Monday through Thursday from 3-8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from noon-6 p.m. Show homes are closed on Fridays except by prior appointment.
Sales staff are in each home, ready to explain its unique and special features. Ask about the builders and suppliers. After all, MHBA new-home builders pride themselves on building the best new homes in Canada.
Each visitor is sure to come away with new ideas and concepts to incorporate into their new home.
This year, 35 builders are featuring the finest new homes in 19 subdivisions. Both single-family detached homes and condominiums are on display. In addition to Winnipeg, there will be show homes in seven other cities and towns.
Quality, choice and affordability are all key components of each new home.
The Fall Parade of Homes has something for everyone. If you're looking for that first new home, this is your opportunity to see the widest variety at one time. If you're considering selling your existing home for more space, less space, more yard, less yard, newer amenities and a different design, everything you could possibly be looking for is featured at the Fall Parade of Homes.
If you're thinking of making some changes in your existing home, nowhere else will you see so many new and dynamic building styles and techniques as at the Parade. If you just want to see the best of the best and envision your dream home, this is the place to do it.
Your new-home dream starts with the Fall Parade of Homes.
