Welcome! The Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans is proud to present its 2007 Parade of Homes. While the past 20 months have been challenging for us all, we have been hard at work doing our best to refurbish and replace houses for the citizens of southeastern Louisiana. We feel that our offering this year, which is comprised of 18 homes in 6 parishes, demonstrates different architectural styles, new and exciting technologies as well as differing techniques of building. We are confident that whether you are in the market for a new home or just searching for ideas to update your existing home, you will find something that suits your desires.

As for us, the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans is a professional organization representing the residential housing industry, serving our members and the community since 1941. We have dedicated ourselves to being the voice of the residential housing industry, enhancing the climate and protecting the business interests of the membership, promoting quality, affordable housing, educating members and the public as to industry business and association goals, promoting ethical and professional standards for the industry, and being a responsible citizen through active community involvement.

We invite you to tour each of our homes and talk with the builders and their representatives. Ask questions and we will be happy to help you craft a home that suits your needs. Thank you for attending the parade and enjoy your visit!
