How to resolve AdBlock issue? Celebrating its 13th year, the parade offers the public the opportunity to view custom built homes ranging in price from $200,000 to over a million dollars, while also benefitting the American Cancer Society.
“It is a great opportunity for people to meet with and talk to the builders,” said Pam Kirson, executive officer for Capital Region Builders & Remodelers. “And a great place for Saratoga residents to start would be the John Witt house at 51 Granger.”
The builders select which homes they would like to feature. Each home must be professionally decorated and be fully landscaped to be included in the tour. Participants get to vote for which homes and features they like best.
Kirson said participants can purchase tickets for the tour at any of the homes and at that time, they would be given a map and directions. The pass is good for both weekends.
The Capital Region Builders & Remodelers Association (CRBRA,) which is hosting the Parade, is a local trade association with more than 300 business members and serves as the leading voice for the residential construction industry in the seven-counties of the Capital Region.
The tour will showcase each of the 12 new, custom-built homes, each equipped with the latest in interior and exterior design, construction technology, architectural concepts, products and energy efficiency.
“This popular annual event provides the opportunity to cultivate ideas for your new home and remodeling projects and to dream of future projects,” said Kirson. “These lovely homes are for all lifestyles and budgets ranging from $200,000 to over $1 million.”
