As president of the Greater Iowa City Area Home Builders Association, I would like to encourage everyone to visit this year’s Parade of Homes and help us celebrate our 40th Anniversary.  This year we are showcasing more than 50 new homes located throughout the Johnson County area...each one unique in design and style, featuring the latest in architectural trends and the best in workmanship.

We invite you to take your time while touring the Parade homes.
Ask questions of the builders, subcontractors, and sales
professionals who are at the homes as you visit. 

Remember, a new home is a sound investment and with historically low rates and tax breaks, owning your own home is the first step to financial security.  Your new home will increase in value at a steady pace while other investments are more volatile.  Now is a great time to buy or build a new home!

Each year the Parade of Homes gets bigger and better.  This year is
no exception and boasts a record number of homes on display.  Not only will you be exposed to an unprecedented variety of homes, you will be treated to the highest level of excellence and craftsmanship ever exhibited in our Parade.

As the housing market continues to evolve most builders agree that buyers are more sophisticated and exacting than ever in their tastes and preferences. Great builders welcome discriminating buyers. 
The builders in our Parade of Homes are eager to showcase their
attention to detail, focus on design and quality of work.  Today’s
housing market has elevated the standards buyers have come to
expect.  In this Parade of Homes you’ll see how the area’s best
builders are raising the bar. 

There has never been a better time to buy a new home.  Come on out and meet the best builders around.  Check out the quality of their work first hand.
