Don't let the 2025 Parade of Homes pass you by!

Showcase your homes, new communities, and renewed spaces in the Charlotte Region's largest open house. Parade of Homes provides the builder with a valuable marketing campaign including digital, print, billboard, TV, and social media promotions. The interactive website and mobile app will connect you with motivated consumers. Our goal is to showcase your beautiful new homes and drive traffic to your communities whether Parade visitors are ready to buy now or planning for the future!

2025 Entry Categories, Fees & Deadlines

Showcase Home – With this traditional type of entry your home will feature in the Parade of Homes magazine, website and mobile app. These entries are promoted for public tour and eligible for judging and award recognition (if not a previous entry). Repeat entries have special discount.

Dream Home - We've created a special category for homes priced $2M and above. These entries receive the same marketing as Tour Homes but will have special judging recognition. If your "Dream Home" entry is only available for tour by appointment only, we can work with your team to promote that option.

Renewed Space - Remodelers, show off your favorite projects! Enter a kitchen, primary suite, or even a whole house renovation that will blow away our Parade consumers. No need to bother the homeowner, as these entries won't be open for public tour. But you can feature your work in the Parade of Homes magazine and website, and we'll also have separate judging for these remodeling entries.

Coming Soon – Online Only
This is a great way to highlight a home or community! You can enter a home that is still in the planning or construction phase. Photos or renderings will be featured online and we’ll link to video of the project (whether that be a 3D tour or drone footage of a community under construction).

Use the register button at right to sign up for the number of homes you want to enter.
