Thank you Welcome to the Heart of Texas Builders Association 2015 Parade of Homes. We have prepared a beautiful selection of new homes including the Showcase Home built by the president of the association, Woody Butler. This year, the Heart of Texas Builders Association presents 13 homes plus the Showcase Home featuring the latest in design, finishes, amenities and energy efficiency. The Heart of Texas area continues to offer exceptionally strong value for incoming businesses and residents. In Central Texas, the economy has held steady and remains highly resilient. We have been able to sustain positive growth through the consistent addition of new industry, employers and job opportunities. As a result, the Waco area has seen a steady rise in both new and existing home values, as well as national recognition as one of the best places to own a home. While home prices have been steadily increasing in the Central Texas Area, interest rates are holding steady at historically low levels. Altogether, the availability of new homes, competitive pricing, cost savings technologies and financing options continue to make this one of the best times to buy a new home. Our builders and craftsmen take great pride in their work. They are ultimately responsible for constructing the sense of community and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure. The Heart of Texas Builders Association contributes to endowed scholarships at McLennan Community College, Toys for Tots and important programs within the community that sustain vibrant neighborhoods, support economic development and cultural development. Many thanks go out to our sponsors of the Parade of Homes, American Bank and the Waco Tribune-Herald for their support of the Parade. Now take a few hours, or even a couple days to tour all the homes in the Parade. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find builders and hosts in every home eager to show their beautiful designs and answer all your questions. Sincerely,

Milton Makowsky, Vice President Heart of Texas Builders Association Chairman, 2015 Parade of Homes

D.R. Horton

254-778-8500

D.R. Horton OVER 35 YEARS AGO, DONALD R. HORTON HAD A VISION of livable and affordable new homes built with unmatched efficiencies and uncompromising quality. Of family traditions passed on to new generations. Of a business that would grow by making customers’ dreams a reality. That philosophy of creating value every step of the way was the Company’s signature focus when Horton unveiled his first neighborhood in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area over three decades ago. As the Company grew from a local homebuilder, to a regional homebuilder, to ultimately the largest homebuilder in the United States, that philosophy has never wavered. Today, D.R. Horton continues to demonstrate its leadership in residential development through design innovation, superior craftsmanship, and responsiveness to the needs of its customers. The simple vision that began over 35 years ago represents years of value and security when you choose America’s Builder to make your dreams come true.
