One of the Richmond area’s longest-running annual home showcases is underway this month, with a few new names among this year’s list of builders displaying the latest design styles and trends.
Seventy-three new homes by 29 area builders make up the 68th annual Parade of Homes, the yearly fall showcase of the Home Building Association of Richmond.
The scattered-site showcase invites visitors to take self-guided tours of homes throughout metro Richmond. The free event kicked off last weekend and continues every weekend through October. Homes are open from noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

The bulk of this year’s homes – 42 – are located in Chesterfield County, while 14 are in Hanover, seven in Henrico, four in Powhatan, three in New Kent, two in Goochland and one in King William. None of this year’s homes are located in the city.
Homes vary from detached single-family houses to attached homes and townhouses, with prices ranging from the low $200,000s to $1 million-plus.
Builders who participate in the show are members of HBAR. New builders this year include PerrinCrest Custom Homes, which CraftMaster Homes owner Jeff Tunstall launched this year with wife and CraftMaster collaborator Bobbie Sue.
Also new to the showcase is Arthur Rutenberg Homes, a Florida-based brand brought to Richmond last year by Matt Ellington and C. Ryan Fanelli. D.R. Horton, the largest homebuilding company in the U.S., is in this year’s showcase after entering the Richmond market last year.
