S. Delaware County Ohio Homes

The 2012 BIA Parade of Homes is at The Meadows at Lewis Center.  The Meadows at Lewis Center is on Lewis Center Rd., just west of Old State Road.

This year's BIA Parade of Homes at The Meadows at Lewis Center

Our mild winter weather has given home builders at the BIA Parade of Homes site a jump on the season, I think.  Or perhaps it just seems that way, I have never had an opportunity other years to continually drive by the neighborhood and see the houses take shape.

Pictured is the home by Miller Troyer Custom Homes / Alexandra Custom Homes, one my favorites NOW.  I reserve the right to keep changing my mind well into the 2012 BIA Parade of Homes which starts in mid June, about which is my favorite house in the 2012 Parade of Homes. 

Dominion, Rockford and another builder or two participating in the 2012 Parade of Homes  are further along than the home pictured.  At least on the exterior, a few homes are further along.  Other builders are not as far along.  There are 12 builders participating in the 2012 BIA Parade of Homes.

I am not affiliated with any of the builders in this years event.  As a real estate agent I am able to represent you as a buyer broker, in your purchase of new construction throughout central Ohio.

Congratulations to New England Homes the People's Choice!

The New England Homes entry to the 2011 BIA Parade of Homes at Olentangy Falls was voted number one in both divisions of the People's Choice Award.   The BIA Parade of Homes blog post titled: Peoples Choice: Congrats to New England Homes  announced the results of a ballot for the favorites of those who attended the Parade of Homes.

The BIA Parade of Homes blog announced the four companies who shared in the awards, New England Homes was number one for both "the Favorite House division" and "the Favorite Interior Décor division. "  The New England Homes entry, a Connecticut farmhouse with a wrap-around front porch and a three car "carriage house" garage seemed like a crowd favorite during the Parade of Homes in June 2011.

New England Homes entry cleaned up in the awards from the BIA.  Those awards were annouced the night before the 2011 Parade of Homes began at the event on June 10, 2011.

New England Homes Ohio a custom builder "Cleaned Up in the  2011 BIA Parade of Homes Awards" on Friday, June 10, 2011 at Olentangy Falls in southern Delaware County.

Breaking NEWS.... New England Homes CLEANED UP in the awards

A photo of the awards on the marble island in the award winning kitchen appeared on  both ColumbusBestBlog.com and Columbus Life (on Posterous) during the BIA Parade of Homes Preview Party last night.  This same photo of the awards appeared on those two sites during the Parade of Homes Preview Party, June 10, 2011.

"Cleans Up in Awards Ceremony"

The New England Homes entry got the most awards?  That's what people were reporting as they returned to the New England Homes house (#1 in the Parade of Homes... just in the order) during last nights Preview Party.  I wish I could tell you who said "You guys are cleaning up" as he walked into the New England Homes house.  An exciting moment and evening even as a volunteer... Real Living HER's Builder Service Division is working with New England Homes. I probably ought to mention I am working on the Real Living HER New Homes team working with New England Homes now...

Sold!

The BIA Parade of homes has eleven entries this year.  Talking to the President of Ambassador Homes last night (during the storm that came through myself and a co-worker were stuck* in the Ambassador model ) that house went in contract Thursday night...  By stuck I mean no disrespect to the Ambassador Home, they were not a food and beverage station  and we were there during the big storm that came through southern Delaware County last night.  I would have been happier stuck in any house with food and drink.  We went to the Ambassador Homes entry  first after working about two hours at the New England Home.  We specifically went to see the interior design of the Ambassador Home.  If I understood correctly the President of Ambassador Homes said all of the 2011 BIA Parade of Homes entries are now sold? 

Or close?  Maybe he said he'd heard M/I Homes was negotiating on their house.

Would that set some sort of record with the Parade of Homes if all the homes were sold before the Parade of Homes opened?  Today is the first day of the Parade of Homes.  There will be signs in front of the homes telling you what awards they won.

It was awesome that even going into the Parade of Homes earlier in the week, eight of the eleven homes were sold.  You've heard from the media that no one is buying homes.  No one is building homes... I digress.

Back to New England Homes house which was sold long before the Parade of Homes opened.

If I counted correctly, the gorgeous "Connecticut farmhouse style home" with the wrap around porch received

• 6 Gold
• 2 Silver
• 4 Bronze
• An honorable mention

I will have to sort out what the six Gold awards, 2 silver, etc on the New England Home are...  Kitchen, Exterior Architecture, Plan, Library / Study  come to mind.

New England Homes is  #1 in order of the parade.  You will enter through a gate just south (?) of the New England Homes house.

New England Homes has a new website!

The Parade of Homes 2011 is at Olentangy Falls in southern Delaware County.  I drove over last Friday to snap some photos of the houses... because it was not raining.  The sky was dark and ominous but it did not rain much. 

There are twelve eleven builders in the 2011 Parade of homes.  They were very, very busy last Friday...  there were an unbelievable number of trucks on the street with the 2011 BIA Parade of Homes ...  I could not park to find a place to snap some photos of homes.

1. Ambassador Homes
2. Compass Homes
3. Dominion Homes
4. Fischer Homes
5. Manor Homes
6. M/I Homes, Inc.
7. New England Homes
8. P&D Builders, Ltd.
9. Rockford Homes
10. Tuckerman Home Group
11. Weaver Custom Homes

Why was I thinking there were twelve builders in the 2011 BIA Parade of Homes?    The Parade of Homes starts June 11, 2011 and runs through July 26, 2011.  Many but not all of the Parade of Homes entries are sold.

Where is Olentangy Falls?

I did a Google Map but something is wrong with it... Olentangy Falls is west of Route 23 (Columbus Pike) on Hyatts Road. It is on the south side of Hyatt's Road. It's a very easy to find Parade of Homes and I imagine the BIA will have lots of signs on 23 and Hyatt's Road when the Parade of Homes opens. Olentangy Falls is in the Olentangy Local School District.
