Next Saturday, Manitoba’s best home builders will begin a three-week showcase of 138 new show homes during the Manitoba Home Builders’ Association’s (MHBA) 2018 Spring Parade of Homes.
From March 3 to 25, people will have the chance to see the latest trends in home-building design and the newest fashions in home decorating.
For those looking at buying a new home, the parade is the perfect way to see the best in today’s new housing market.
It’s also a great way for those who may not yet be in the market to buy a new home to see what is new and exciting in home decor, technology, finishings and fixtures.
Many people who visit parade show homes are curious to see what the hottest trends in home decorating are, or they are looking for ideas for a renovation to their existing home.
Kitchens, bathrooms and the latest technology in the show homes are always a huge draw for people attending the parade of homes.
The parade of homes is also a chance to visit and to explore the newest subdivisions and communities that are being developed in and around Winnipeg.
Forty-two communities are featured in this spring’s parade, providing home seekers a wide variety of neighbourhood amenities and options.
We also have entries that have been built within existing neighbourhoods that give visitors a great sense of the options that are available for those who are looking at building a new home in an older part of the city.
With changing tastes and lifestyles, our builders understand that a detached single-family home may not be the right fit for everyone.
That’s why new condominiums are also an important feature of the parade.
Condominiums are a very attractive option for many new home buyers, and our builders have entered 17 new condo show homes for you to visit.
Be sure to follow the MHBA on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, as we will be featuring each of the 138 show homes entered in this year’s spring parade.
The MHBA will also have fun contests throughout the parade for visitors posting pictures of their favourite show homes on social media using the hashtag #PARADEOFHOMESMB.
Look for the 2018 Spring Parade of Homes magazine in your Winnipeg Free Press home delivery, or pick up a copy at any Steinbach Credit Union.
The MHBA has also revamped the parade of homes page of its website, at homebuilders.mb.ca.
There, you can now utilize an interactive map that allows you to search and locate all of the parade show homes.
Be sure to visit the new parade of homes page to help in your parade planning.
Our MHBA builders look forward to welcoming you to their parade show homes!
