CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – On September 24th, 2013, the Clarksville Home Builders Association hosted their 4th Annual Parade of Homes Awards Dinner in conjunction with the 4th Annual Parade of Homes. Fifteen different new construction homes have been entered in this year’s event by 13 different builders. “We have 15 beautiful homes that are ready for the great turnout that we are expecting with this year’s Parade,” said Rex Hawkins, Current President of the Clarksville Home Builders Association and Participant.

The homes were grouped together in four categories based on sales price to ensure that each home is judged fairly and in line with its closest competitors. A team of judges with backgrounds in the real estate, construction and engineering industries assembled on Saturday, September 21st. They toured, evaluated, and rated each of the 15 homes on five different criteria. Those criteria were: Best Curb Appeal, Best Architectural Detail, Best Floor Plan, Best Kitchen, and Best Master Suite. The scores were totaled to determine the Best Overall Winners in each of the four pricing categories.
