18th Annual Outer Banks Parade runs October 7-10

Opening on Thursday, October 7, with 22 homes spanning Corolla on the Currituck Banks to the laid back atmosphere of the towns on Hatteras Island, the Outer Banks Home Builders Association’s 18th Annual Parade of Homes promises a fresh perspective on newly constructed coastal homes. This year’s sampling of homes has incorporated new designs, technologies, green building methods and new product innovations and furnishings. It is your best opportunity to walk through and study all 22 of our showcase homes covering 121 miles of our beautiful coastline while enjoying the relative calm of the off season and the stellar weather fall brings to our shores.

The participating builders and associate members of the Outer Banks Home Builders Association hope you will join us for this annual Parade. And our tour is your tour – to be taken on your own timetable Thursday, October 7 through Sunday, October 10. All Parade homes are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and 10-3 on Sunday. These homes are each a unique interpretation of life at the beach – be it design of the home, themed décor, location or purpose– with tremendous diversity among the offerings.

For four days only you can personally experience homes that qualify as year-round starter homes to those with all of the comforts and amenities of a five-star resort! Live there, visit there, collect rents from those who do - whatever your need, one of these 22 homes is sure to fill it! In many cases, the “extras” of recent years have been toned down and replaced with a new emphasis on efficiency and function, with the incorporation of green products and “best building practices.” The “must haves” – elevators, media rooms, home theaters, game rooms, and pools and spas are still found in vacation homes.

Our participating builder members, their staff members and vendors will be in the homes each day until 6 p.m. Your $10.00 ticket may be purchased in advance by mail, at any of the homes or at select ticket outlets. Your ticket is valid for all four days of the event and ticket proceeds will go to support the Outer Banks Food Pantry. Beginning September 6, you will be able to preview the entire Parade at our website www.obhomebuilders.org or you may call the Outer Banks Home Builders Association at 252-449-8232 for more information.
