Every fall, Saratogians turn off HGTV, put on a pair of shoes that are easy to take on and off, and hit the road, driving all across Saratoga County in search of their next enviable dream home. Not catching our drift? We’re talking about the Saratoga Showcase of Homes, the annual event where area builders open up their brand-new builds for the public to see, salivate over and, yes, walk sock-footed through.
After last year’s in-person showcase was canceled due to the pandemic (a one-hour TV program exploring the year’s homes kept the popular event’s momentum going), the Showcase of Homes is back to its traditional, in-person glory, just in time for its 25th anniversary. Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s exhibition.
Who?
Twelve builders—Kohler Homes, R&M Homes, The BDC Group, Kodiak Construction, Witt Construction, Bonacio Construction, Trojanski Builders, Caruso Builders, Beechwood Homes, Belmonte Builders, McPadden Builders and Bella Home Builders—have teamed up with local landscapers, interior designers and kitchen designers to showcase the best in new home trends.
What?
Twelve homes and a condominium. (About half of this year’s homes are priced at over $1 million!)
Where?
Rexford, Ballston Lake, Ballston Spa, Greenfield Center and, of course, Saratoga Springs.
When?
October 9, 10, 11, 16 and 17.
Why?
Proceeds from the showcase benefit Rebuilding Together Saratoga County, which repairs homes for homeowners incapable of making essential repairs to them, and Habitat for Humanity, which creates affordable housing for low- to moderate-income families.
