How the Fall 2026 Parade sold

The Fall 2026 Parade of Homes ran Sept. 19–21 & 26–28, 2026: 43 homes from 22 builders across Fargo, Horace, West Fargo, Mapleton, Moorhead, Glyndon & Hillsboro. 36 of them were listed for sale on the MLS when the doors opened; the other 7 were models, customer builds and a remodel.

Since then, 5 have sold, 3 are pending and 26 are still for sale. The ones on the market list from $348K to $1.4M. 2 more are no longer listed. The 5 that sold closed at a median of $595K, 98% of their final list price.

Next up: the Spring 2027 Parade of Homes, May 1–3 & 8–10, 2027 (Noon–5 PM Sat & Sun · 3–7 PM Mon), free to attend. The parade now includes remodels and rental homes as well as new builds. Builders register spring entries starting in late January or early February; once the route is published, this page prices every home on it. Dates and hours from paradefm.com, the official Parade of Homes site — confirm there before you go.

Plan your route

Horace and Fargo carry the route: 16 and 16 of the 43 entries — nearly three-quarters of the parade — sit in those two cities, most of them in south-metro neighborhoods a few minutes apart. If you have one afternoon, start there. West Fargo and Mapleton add 4 and 4 homes, and single entries in Moorhead, Glyndon, and Hillsboro round out the map — only two homes on the whole route are on the Minnesota side.

Hours: Noon–5 PM Sat & Sun · 3–7 PM Mon. Free printed maps and magazines at any Hornbacher's or First International Bank & Trust, or browse the route on the official site. Homes are walk-in — no tickets, no appointments.

Builder cheat sheet

All 22 parade builders — and what each one has on the market site-wide right now, beyond the parade route.

Builder attribution follows the official parade roster; a few builders list under a different legal name on the MLS. Inventory counts are live, site-wide MN + ND, and update with the market.

Buyer intel: reading the parade like an agent

A parade home is not automatically a new-to-market home. Some entries hit the MLS the same week the parade opened; others have been listed since last winter. That cuts both ways — the fresh ones are priced to this moment, and the long-runners are where the negotiating room usually lives. Ask us for the days-on-market read on any address on this page.

3 of the parade homes are pending — buyers kept shopping this route after the signs came down. If one of the homes still for sale is a maybe for you, ask us how long it has been on the market before you make an offer.

7 homes on the route weren't for sale at all — models, customer builds, and this year's remodel entry. If one of them is the layout you want, the builder cheat sheet below shows what that builder has for sale right now.

Parade of Homes, answered

Is the Parade of Homes free to attend?

Yes. Every home on the Parade of Homes is free to tour — no tickets, no registration. Pick up the free parade magazine and map at any Hornbacher's or First International Bank & Trust, or browse the route at paradefm.com.

When is the 2027 Parade of Homes in Fargo-Moorhead?

The Spring 2027 Parade of Homes runs the first two weekends in May, plus Mondays: May 1–3 & 8–10, 2027. Homes are open noon–5 PM Saturday and Sunday and 3–7 PM Monday, and it's free. The Building Industry Association of the Red River Valley posts the dates and the home list at paradefm.com — confirm there before you go.

When is the Fall 2026 Parade of Homes?

Two long weekends: September 19–21 and September 26–28, 2026. Homes are open noon–5 PM Saturday and Sunday, and 3–7 PM Monday.

Can you actually buy the homes on the parade?

Most of them, yes. The majority of parade homes are newly built homes listed for sale right now — this page matches every parade address against live NorthstarMLS data, so you can see which are for sale, which are pending, and what each one costs. A handful are models, customer builds, or a remodel that isn't for sale; those are still worth touring for ideas.

Do I need a real estate agent to tour parade homes?

No — parade homes are walk-in, like any open house. But if a parade home starts feeling like your next home, remember the person greeting you at the door works for the builder. Jim or Shannon will walk one with you on a quick text — (701) 205-5517 — and give you a straight read on the price, the specials, and the builder's other inventory.

Are parade home prices negotiable?

Sometimes — it depends on the home. Some parade entries hit the MLS the week the parade opened and are priced to the moment; others have been listed for months, and a longer run on the market usually means negotiating room. Live prices and statuses for every listed parade home are on this page — ask us for the days-on-market read on any of them.

What happens to the parade homes after the parade ends?

They stay on the market like any other listing — and that's when some of the best deals happen, because builders would rather sell a model than heat it all winter. The listed homes on this page keep their live prices year-round, so you can shop the parade long after the signs come down.

Is Modern Market REALTORS® affiliated with the Parade of Homes?

No. The Parade of Homes is produced by the Building Industry Association of the Red River Valley — event details live at paradefm.com and can change; confirm dates and hours there. We're an independent Fargo-Moorhead brokerage, and this guide adds the layer the parade map doesn't show: live MLS prices and for-sale status for every home on the route.

Sixty-five falls of open doors

The Parade of Homes has run since the fall of 1961, when the Home Builders Association of Fargo-Moorhead — founded in 1956, today the Building Industry Association of the Red River Valley — first opened its members' new homes to the public. Sixty-five years later it's a twice-a-year institution: a spring edition in May, a fall edition in late September, free both times.

The format has barely changed because it works. Builders put their best work on the route — this fall, 42 new homes and one remodel from 22 member builders — and the public walks in with no appointment and no pressure. What has changed is the map: this year's route runs heaviest through Horace and south Fargo, the metro's new-construction center of gravity.
