Discover The Madison, a Blue-Ribbon Award-Winning Home Design

The Parade of Homes, hosted by the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan, is a premier event that celebrates the best of homebuilding in the region. The event shows off the best model homes in southeast Michigan as determined by a panel of architects and industry experts who judge homes based on a combination of factors, including innovation, aesthetic appeal, and value for price.

This annual showcase allows home builders to present their finest work, competing for prestigious awards and recognition. The event draws attention from industry professionals and home enthusiasts alike, providing a unique opportunity to explore the latest trends and innovations within residential construction.

Judging Criteria: What Sets the Winners Apart

The homes featured in the Parade of Homes are judged by a panel of experts who meticulously evaluate each entry based on several key criteria:

• Aesthetics: Judges assess the visual appeal, creativity, and how well the home’s design integrates with its surroundings. The usability of the space, including how well the layout meets the needs of potential homeowners, is another key criterion.
• Value for price: Assesses how well the home’s features, quality, and overall appeal align with its price point
• Innovation: Incorporating the latest technologies and sustainable practices can give a home a competitive edge.

After thorough evaluations, the judges select winners who exemplify excellence in these areas, highlighting the best of Southeastern Michigan’s homebuilding industry.
