The prices of the homes range from $199,000 to $3,995,000. One home in Plymouth has been awarded the 1st Build Green NH "Gold" award for green construction, through the NAHB's National Green Building Certification Program.

Despite the current country's financial status, now is actually a great time to buy a home! Interest rates are at a record low, prices for materials and labor are stable, and new green building efficiencies will actually cost you less to heat and cool your home in years to come. To top it all off, your home is still a reliable and stable investment to place your money, rather than other stocks or investments. If you have a steady employment, decent credit and have an adequate deposit, the time is right. It is a well-known fact in the housing industry that when the market slows down, the value of new homes increases.
Whether you are in the market for a new home or just looking for inspiration for updating your current home, plan your weekend, visit the homes on the Parade and catch the fall foliage while you are at it!
