The Parade of Homes is back for 2025, and this year’s lineup is more impressive than ever. Taking place over two weekends: April 26-27 and May 3-4. This beloved local tradition invites you to step inside 81 brand-new homes crafted by 40 of the region’s most respected builders. Whether you’re house-hunting, remodeling, or simply love a good walk-through, this self-guided tour is your front-row seat to the latest in residential design.
Coldwell Banker Sea Coast New Homes is proud to represent 13 of the builders featured in this year’s Parade. From custom builds to thoughtfully designed move-in-ready homes, our builder partners represent a range of styles, price points, and features. It’s the perfect opportunity to see their craftsmanship firsthand and experience the creativity, quality, and care that goes into every home.
Why Attend the Parade?
The Parade of Homes is more than just a showcase, it’s a source of inspiration, connection, and possibility. Touring these homes in person gives you a real sense of how each space flows, how design elements come together, and what’s trending in today’s new construction. You’ll see it all: open-concept living areas, modern kitchens, luxurious primary suites, flex spaces for remote work, outdoor living features, and so much more.
What makes this event especially exciting is its diversity. With 81 homes spread across different neighborhoods and communities, there’s truly something for everyone—first-time buyers, growing families, downsizers, and those relocating to the area. You can explore homes that fit your current lifestyle, get ideas for your future dream home, or just enjoy a weekend seeing beautiful spaces and learning about what’s possible.
Why Wilmington?
As more and more people choose to call this region home, the Parade also offers a chance to understand why it’s become such a desirable place to live. From vibrant culture and historic charm to coastal beauty and a strong sense of community, the greater Wilmington area, including Leland and surrounding towns, continues to attract homebuyers from all over the country.
