Parade of Homes and more Denver-area events this weekend
Denver's Parade of Homes, which kicks off Thursday and runs through Aug. 24, lets residents tour dozens of newly designed houses across the metro for free.
Why it matters: With Denver buyers finally holding the upper hand, now's a great time to go shopping or get ideas for a new home project.
By the numbers: Nearly 70 properties are showcased on the tour, from condos and townhomes to luxurious, custom-built "dream homes."
Prices range from about $450,000 to $2.7 million.
How it works: Homes are open for self-guided tours noon-5pm Thursdays through Sundays. Online virtual tours are also available for most properties.
Plan your route before hopping in the car. Some homes are clustered but many are scattered across the greater metro area.
