Why Visiting the Spring 2025 Parade of Homes Is a Smart Move for Future Homeowners

Each spring, the West Michigan Parade of Homes opens the doors to dozens of beautifully crafted houses from top local builders—and this year, Buffum Homes is excited to feature not just one, but two Parade homes!

Whether you’re actively searching, thinking about building, or simply gathering ideas, this event is full of value. Here’s why the Spring 2025 Parade of Homes is a must-visit—and how it could benefit you more than you expect.

◦ Building a Custom Home? See the Difference in Person

Choosing a builder is one of the most important steps in the homebuilding process—and the Parade is the perfect chance to see what different builders are all about.

Walking through a Buffum Homes Parade home (or in this case, two!) gives you a clear picture of:

◦ Our unique floorplans and functional layouts
◦ The attention to detail in trim, finishes, and tile work
◦ The craftsmanship and quality we bring to every home
◦ The feel of the spaces—designed to be lived in and loved

Plus, it gives you a chance to see how relatable and thoughtful our homes are. They’re beautiful, but they’re also livable.

◦ Just Looking for Ideas? Prepare to Be Inspired

You don’t have to be building or buying this year to enjoy the Parade. Many people visit just to get fresh inspiration—and both of our 2025 Parade homes are packed with it.

Walk through and gather ideas for:

◦ Paint colors and cabinetry finishes
◦ Lighting and hardware pairings
◦ Creative storage solutions
◦ Unique built-in features
◦ Future renovation projects or must-haves for your dream home

We work hard to include features that spark creativity and help you visualize what’s possible, whether you’re building now or saving ideas for later.

◦ You Might Just Find Your Next Home

Here’s a little-known bonus: many Parade homes are for sale, including ours.

That means if you fall in love with one of our featured homes this spring, you might not have to wait to build—it could be yours. Buffum Homes builds both custom and move-in-ready homes with the same high standards, and these Parade homes reflect the best of both worlds: professionally designed, fully finished, and completely brand new.

◦ Why the Parade Matters to Us

The Parade has always been an exciting time for our team. It’s more than just a showcase—it’s a way for us to connect with people who care about quality, design, and thoughtful building.

It gives future homeowners the chance to see how we work, how we care, and what kind of experience they can expect when partnering with us. We’ve met many incredible clients through past Parades, and some even found the exact home they were hoping for.

◦ Stop By and Say Hi

We’d love to see you at this year’s Spring Parade of Homes. With two Buffum homes on display, there’s even more to explore, compare, and get inspired by. Whether you’re building soon, buying now, or dreaming ahead—come walk through, ask questions, and get to know what Buffum Homes is all about.

We’re proud of these homes and excited to share them with you. Who knows? You might leave with a few favorite ideas… or the keys to your future home.
