The Spokane Home Builders Association will hold its 10th annual Fall Festival of Homes during the next two three-day weekends.

This year’s festival will feature 36 homes constructed by 17 Spokane-area builders.

Show hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 26-28 and Oct. 3-5.

“Our goal is to help builders sell homes and for potential future buyers to see the builders’ products,” says Joel White, SBHA executive officer.

White says the show promotes consumer awareness of individual builders that can result in sales in future years.

All homes entered in the festival are new and have been built since last year’s show, he says.

Most of the homes are for sale, although a couple were sold after they were entered in the show and a couple of others are personal homes of builders, he says.

The listed or replacement value of the homes ranges from $200,000 for a three-bedroom home with 1,500 square feet of living space built by Lewis Construction & Development Inc. in the Pine Valley Estates subdivision in Spokane Valley, to a $1.1 million, five-bedroom, 5,300-square-foot home constructed by Morse Western Homes LLC in the Legacy Ridge Estates development in Liberty Lake.

People’s choice ballots will be available at each home in the show, and attendees will be encouraged to vote for their favorites.

Also, an SHBA internal panel of industry professionals will judge homes at different price levels in a number of categories, including design, kitchen, master suite, landscaping, and overall excellence, White says.

The Fall Festival of Homes will have five host sites where show brochures and maps will be available. The neighborhoods the host sites will represent include Rocky Hill, in Liberty Lake; Valley Springs, in northern Spokane Valley; Elk Ridge Heights , in southern Spokane Valley; Wandermere Heights, on the North Side; and Eagle Ridge, in south Spokane.

The host sites also will have entry boxes in which festival attendees will be invited to enter a drawing to win a $4,000 appliance package from Fred’s Appliance Inc.

SHBA, the event organizer, is a building-industry trade group with members in seven Eastern Washington counties. ProBuild, a national building-material supplier with a Spokane Valley outlet, is the presenting sponsor.
