elcome to the 2015 Cavalcade of Homes presented by the Home Builders Association of Northern Kentucky. This year you can see 19 new homes across Northern Kentucky. These homes feature the latest in style, craftsmanship, comfort, technology and energy efficiency. All builders in our show are Registered Builders, so be rest assured you’re dealing with a professional. Now is the time to buy whether you’re buying your first home or looking for a home to better suit your needs and lifestyle. Interest rates are low and the economy is recovering. New homes are built to last and hold their value. The latest safety standards, low maintenance, energy efficient and customizing are just a few of the advantages of a new home. Bring your dreams and ideas and talk to one of our professional Registered Builders about making them your reality. An additional show entry in 2015 is a Tour of Remodeled Homes’ project, which takes place the last weekend of the Cavalcade on May 16-17. This time of year is perfect for planning an improvement or adding special features to a home.
