Everyone loves a parade winner

The Parade of Homes seems to come and go so fast it can be a blur, and seeing all 100-plus new houses would be a big challenge.

But the organizers make sure some people take the time to take in every one, thoughtfully, to size them up. Outsiders, mostly Realtors, judged entries in the Parade of Homes Fall Classic, picking the best across numerous price ranges.

The Parade of Homes Fall Classic, presented by the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association, continues Saturday and Sunday with 100-plus new homes open free to the public from 1 to 7 p.m. Maps are available at www.paradeofhomesok.com, and parade booklets can be picked up at metro-area OnCue locations.

The list of judges is at bottom. Here are the top houses, addresses, additions and parts of the metro area. (Addresses only repeated for multiple winners).
