Now in its 30th year, the 2013 Parade of Homes in Durham, Orange & Chatham Counties will be held over three weekends in October: October 5-6, 11-13, and 18-20, 2013 from Noon-5pm each day. This is a free, self-guided tour showcasing the latest designs and technology trends being used today. Of the 55 homes on Parade this year, Briar Chapel has the following 9 entries:
- Lot 79 (658 Bennett Mountain Trace) by Homes By Dickerson - $569,900

- Lot 168 (273 Tobacco Farm Way) by Saussy Burbank - $282,900
This exciting event enables builders to enjoy some friendly competition, as each home on the Parade is judged by a panel of industry representatives from other markets in our region. These judges examine the design, quality, and creativity that each entry demonstrates, resulting in a numerical grade for each house. Awards are given to homes that achieve the highest scores in each price category.
Parade Homes are highly sought-after showcase homes, due to the "extras" builders include in them in an attempt to win gold. Likewise, winning Parade homes tend to attract extra attention when it comes time for resale.
If you would like to preview these homes before any of them are sold prior to the Parade, please contact Jen Winkler at 919-593-3662. She will be more than happy to point out the various green features in these homes, as well as show you the amenities that residents enjoy throughout Briar Chapel.
