First floor of the award-winning Kevin Knight and Company home in this year's Parade of Homes.
The Builder’s Industry Association of Central Ohio held its annual Parade of Homes REALTOR Day this morning and I had the chance to tour all 11 homes on the tour.
The tour runs from now through July 26 and is located off Jerome Road, about five minutes south of U.S. 42, in southeastern Union County with Dublin Schools.
The majority of people attend this to simply dream, especially when you figure the mortgage payments would range from $2763.09 to $4,377.58 per month (based on a 5.64 jumbo-loan from Third Federal) with 20 percend down.
The homes on this years tour include:
| Builder | Price | Beds | Baths | Sq.Foot | Price/Foot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compass Homes | $599,000 | 4 | 3.2 | 3,516 | $170.36 |
| Kevin Knight & Co. | $949,000 | 4 | 5.2 | 5,000 | $189.80 |
| Lakewood Builders | $765,000 | 4 | 4.1 | 5,100 | $150.00 |
| Stafford Group | $895,000 | 4 | 5.2 | 5,381 | $166.33 |
| Duffy Homes | $789,000 | 4 | 4.1 | 4,849 | $162.90 |
| M/I Homes | $799,000 | 4 | 4.2 | 4,700 | $170.00 |

| Dani Homes | $849,230 | 4 | 4.1 | 4,454 | $190.67 |
My personal favorite this year was split among two homes.
The first is the Kevin Knight and Company home for sheer beauty. I loved the flow of this home and the studio/office that has its own personal “garden” atop the main portion of the house was lovely. The floors throughout the house were very natural with distressed wood used throughout the main portion and rock in bathroom, it really gave a feel of a modern-day farmhouse. Was it practical? Not really. How do you clean those amazing floors? I guess if I could afford the $949,000 price tag it wouldn’t be an issue.
The second home that grabbed my fancy was also the cheapest in this year’s parade — the Compass Homes model. While it lacked a lot of the “designer” flair that the other homes had this was a great “living” house. It had the features and elegance of the $800,000 houses without the unneeded bells and whistles tossed in to keep the price more modest.
If you are interested in attending this year’s event tickets are $12 plus $2 for parking and the parade is open Monday through Saturday from Noon until 9 p.m. and Sunday Noon until 6 p.m.
