THE SOUTHWESTERN MICHIGAN HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION PARADE OF HOMES SEASON COMES TO AN END



    Berrien Springs, MI—The Southwestern Michigan Home Builders Association (SWMHBA) would like to thank everyone who participated in the 12th annual Parade of Homes.  The Parade of Homes is held the last weekend in July and the first weekend in August every year.  This year the Parade featured 11 new homes and 3 remodeled homes from the $189.000 price range all the way up to $2,000,000.

    A number of awards were given out to the participating builders prior to opening day of the Parade of Homes.   Each award winner was given a plaque to be displayed in the homes during the event.  For the price ranges:

  • Up to $189,000
    • Best Interior Design award was given to Harbor Habitat for Humanity.
  • $190,000 to $249,999
    • Best Interior Design, Best Floor Plan & Best Kitchen and Bath awards were given to The Villas at the River.

    • Best Exterior Living/Site Design, Best Interior Design, Best Floor Plan was awarded to Cornerstone Builders & Associates.
    • Best Kitchen and Bath was awarded to Inovateus Development.

    Our 2008 People’s Choice award was presented to Powell Construction Services.  By filling out a survey and turning it in as they tour the homes on display, the public selects the winner of the People’s Choice award.  As the 2008 People’s Choice award winner, Powell Construction Services will be given a plaque and their 2008 Parade entry and will be featured on the cover of next year’s Parade of Homes guidebook.

    “This year’s Parade of Homes was a great success!  We could not have done it without the outstanding support of the public, or the builders who participate,” said Valerie Krause, executive officer of the SWMHBA, “Congratulations to all our award winners".
