First Annual Tour of Homes Announced

The Klamath Basin Home Builders Association has announced they will be holding their first annual KBHBA Tour of Homes event August 16-17 and 22-24, 2008.

"This event will showcase the beautiful work our local builders do," stated Amanda Blodgett, 2008 KBHBA President. "We have been planning this event for the last year. With the recent changes in the housing market we felt this was an opportune time to help our builders showcase and ultimately sell the homes they have been building. Tours of Homes are held around the state by local HBA’s and the feedback from them is incredible. There is not another event like this; where the public can visit the homes over a two weekend period, have the builder in the home to answer questions and see what is available in our community."

The tour will be a "scattered site" tour. "That means that builders will enter their finished homes to be showcased and visitors will travel around the Basin to visit the homes," Kristin Sayles, Executive Officer for KBHBA. "A guide will be published in the Herald and News the week before the event. This way you will have a map and each builder entered in the Tour will have a page that is devoted to their home with floor plans and other information about the home. We have heard from builders around the state that visitors keep the guide for several years and then call the builder when they are ready to build, bringing their guide with them."

If you are a builder and would like to enter your recently finished or soon to be finished home you can contact Kristin at the KBHBA office at 884-8570. The deadline for entries is June 15, 2008 with discounts available if registered before May 1, 2008.
