This fall, the Home Builders Association (HBA) of Mid-Michigan is reimagining one of its most popular traditions. For the first time in its history, the Parade of Homes is going virtual—bringing a showcase of new construction and custom design straight to viewers’ screens.
Launching in mid-October and available through January 2026, the Virtual Parade of Homes will feature video walkthroughs of five homes built by four local builders: J.W. Morgan Construction of Swartz Creek, M/I Homes of Grand Blanc, Land & Lake Custom Homes of Fenton, and Weir Building Company of Fenton. From sweeping exterior views to carefully crafted interiors, each tour highlights the unique features that define these homes and the creative vision behind them.
The move to a digital platform opens the doors wider than ever before. Viewers can explore at their own pace, replay favorite details, and gather inspiration for future building or remodeling projects—all from the comfort of home. The program is free to access at www.HBAOfMidMichigan.com, thanks to the support of its main sponsor, the Shiawassee Economic Development Partnership.
While the format may be new, the purpose of the Parade remains the same: to celebrate the skill and innovation of Mid-Michigan’s home builders. The homes on this year’s tour reflect the diverse approaches of their creators, from custom details to thoughtful layouts designed for modern living. Together, they offer a snapshot of what’s possible when craftsmanship meets vision.
The event also shines a spotlight on the HBA of Mid-Michigan itself. Established in 1945 as the Home Builders Association of Metropolitan Flint, the organization has long been a cornerstone of the region’s housing industry. Today, with nearly 100 members representing Genesee, Shiawassee, and Lapeer counties, the HBA brings together builders, remodelers, developers, and residential suppliers to promote quality housing and strengthen the local economy.
For anyone curious about new design trends, considering a remodel, or simply wanting to admire the work of local talent, the 2025 Virtual Parade of Homes is an invitation to explore. Starting in mid-October, the tours will be live at www.HBAOfMidMichigan.com and available to enjoy through the start of the new year.
