Changes in Policies for the Parade of Homes
As always we continue to strive to improve the Parade of Homes for both the Builder and the customers who tour the homes.
This year the HBAGGR Parade Committee has implemented a few changes we want to highlight.
1
10/14
ADVERTISING POLICY
The recommendation was to create a deposit to be paid up front by the builders. Following the Parade,
the deposit would be returned based on the percentage of advertisers who are members (i.e. A home has
10 advertisers, 6 of which are HBAGGR members at the time of the Parade, the builder would receive 60%
of their deposit back.) The builders or builders representative will complete an advertisers list with the
volunteer staffing group before the end of the Parade.
See Rules & Regulations section V:A
2
BUILDER OCCUPANCY
The home must be a newly constructed home that has not been previously occupied. The builder may
have used the home as their primary residence for not more than three (3) months prior to the Parade of
Homes.
See Rules & Regulations section I

Universal Housing Guidelines
Submitting an entry for the Parade of Homes that is accessible and adaptable will show your potential clients that you are sensitive to
the individual needs of the homeowner. The Universal Design Committee encourages the design and construction of homes that are

• Accessible entrances and main floor doorways must be at least 36 inches wide with at least one zero step entrance.
• Main floor hallways must be at least 42 inches wide.
• There must be at least one bedroom and one bathroom on the first floor with a doorway at least 36 inches wide. The first floor
bathroom must have a minimum 48-inch turning radius (standard wheelchairs need a 60-inch turning radius, motorized wheelchairs
need a 72-inch turning radius).
• The kitchen must be accessible with a minimum 48-inch turning radius.
• There must be accessible electric switches on the first floor at a maximum height of 44 inches. Outlet height should be between 20
and 24 inches (dimension to the top of the box) per customer discretion.

V: HOME ADVERTISING REQUIREMENTS
SECTION A: MEMBER ADVERTISING
All interior & exterior advertising/signage are allowed at the Builder's discretion. A $500 deposit per Parade entry is required at time
of entry, and must be paid by the builder entering the home or remodel. The deposit will be returned to the builder after the event
concludes, based on the percentage of home-advertisers that are active members of the Home Builders Association of Greater Grand
Rapids as of (May 22, 2015). Advertising includes, but is not limited to: interior signs, exterior signs, brochures, business cards, banners,
etc. For example, if the home has 10 advertisers, and 7 of which are HBAGGR members, then the builder would receive 70% ($350) of their
deposit back after the event.
If the Parade home is an active for sale listing and represented by a Realtor, the one exterior realtor sign indicating the home is for sale and
the one page realtor home information sheet are permitted without being included in the member/nonmember advertiser list, and will
not be factored in as an advertiser that would impact the deposit returned to the builder.
The builder or builder’s representative must sign off on an advertiser list with the volunteer staffing group before the final day of the event.
Any advertising posted in home will be noted on the advertiser list and provided to the staff at the HBAGGR. The list provided to the HBA
will be used to determine the ratio of member to nonmember advertisers, and to calculate the deposit amount returned to the builder.
If the advertiser list is not signed by the builder or builder’s representative, then the builder will not receive any amount of the deposit back
after the event.
If the builder does not have any advertising in the home, other than the builder company information, the full deposit will be returned
after the event.
SECTION B: PARADE HOME PUBLICITY
Builder agrees to abide by all publicity rules. No Parade entry may be used for public fundraising or builder promotional activities or
events prior to it first being shown to ticketed Parade participants. After the first day of the Parade the builder is permitted to hold private
showings or private events providing the event does not fall on a scheduled Parade day.
VI: GENERAL TERMS
SECTION A: INDEMNIFICATION
Builder agrees to indemnify, save and hold HBA of Greater Grand Rapids forever harmless from any and all liability, fees, penalties, causes
of action, suits, costs, legal fees, claims, judgements or damage arising out of any injury to persons or property or any violation of any law

may be immediately dismissed from the Parade without refund or other appeal.

the HBA Parade of Homes Committee and the HBA Board of Directors. All penalties and fines will be assessed after consideration given

home or a remodeled home you
completed a couple of years ago?
ENTER THE HOuSE AS

Why a Virtual Entry?
•
Designed for the builder that may have
sold their home or the timing is not quite
right to have a physical presence in the
Parade.
•
It is important to commit to the entry and not
just do it once, repetition is key. I’ve had the best
results when I enter a Virtual Entry similiar to one
I’m currently working on so that customers can
still touch, see and experience my work.”
Patrons view your entry online with a
complete 360o photo tour or a video tour
of the home provided by the HBA (fee for
tour is included in Parade entry fee.)
•
Receive a listing in the official Parade
GUIDE, just like any new home entry.

With the economy and housing market still recovering, some potential first-time
home buyers may be hesitant to invest in a new home. Yet there are several reasons
why now is a great time for Millennials and other first-time home buyers to start
building their American Dream.
Interest rates are low - Today’s historically low interest rates are helping firsttime home buyers find affordable housing options. Average weekly interest rates for
a 30-year fixed mortgage remain under 4.5%. It’s important to keep in mind that
interest rates are sensitive to market forces and can change quickly.
Huge down payments are not necessary - While lenders are looking more
closely at borrowers today than in recent years, there are options for purchasing
your first home without a 20% down payment. For example, the Federal Housing
Administration (FHA) offers loans to first-time home buyers with down payments
as low as 3.5%. To ensure that the financing process goes smoothly, buyers should
consider pre-qualifying for a mortgage and have a financing commitment in place
before shopping for a new home.
New homes are built to fit your lifestyle - Designed to accommodate
today’s busy lifestyles, new homes – feature open floor plans, flexible spaces, lowmaintenance materials and other amenities that appeal to younger buyers.
With energy costs near the top of consumer concerns, it’s good to know that
new homes may contain innovative materials and construction techniques that make
today’s new homes more energy efficient than homes constructed a generation ago.
Not only can they be more affordable to operate, new homes also are significantly
more resource efficient and environmentally friendly.
Technology makes house shopping fun and easy - Today’s tech-savvy home
buyers use mobile apps to quickly gather all of the key information on a property and
to see extensive photos from their cell phones or tablets. For example, Homesnap
allows you to snap a picture of any home and get all the relevant property details,
including any interior photos for homes on the market. Realtor.com is a popular app
because it generally contains the most accurate information gathered from more
than 800 local MLSs (multiple listing services).
Owning a home can help families build wealth and combat rising rents
- For most Americans, homeownership is a primary source of net worth and is
an important step in accumulating personal financial assets over the long term.
Americans have more than $10.8 trillion of equity in their homes. At the same time,
rent prices continue to climb – 2.8 percent in 2013. That makes now a great time to
start investing in your future – instead of your landlord’s.

Maximize your Parade marketing opportunities and reach out to your target
audience long after the Parade Homes have been turned over to their owners!
The Shop the Parade feature is
designed to bring more traffic
to your Parade website page by
showcasing your vendors. Many
of those that tour your home are
curious where the products used in
your home came from...we will use
photos supplied by our members
to help parade patrons find the
vendors for the products that
peaked their interest during the
parade!
This feature is online at mygrhome.com/
paradeofhomes.
Visitors will be able to search both by
Parade home and by vendor for products
they saw in the homes.
Here is where we need your help. To
make this work, we need the photos!
These photos and your list of product
suppliers can then be tagged on the
website!
For example, if you are supplying the
furniture for the home, send us a photo
of the living room, and we will “tag” you
on the photo. That way, more potential
customers will be able to connect with
you for the products you supplied in the
Parade of Homes!
This is a feature for HBA
members only... so Associates
- take advantage of this great
benefit! Shop the Parade is
your chance to help parade
goers find your products.
