What is a Homearama?

It is one of the best-attended annual events in the Dayton area. One of the most anticipated. One of the most talked about.

Almost every year since 1977, the Home Builders Association of Dayton and the Miami Valley (HBA) has sponsored HOMEARAMA, a single-site presentation of new homes.

HOMEARAMA is one of the Miami Valley’s strongest brandnames and each year draws up to 40,000 visitors who gladly pay an admission fee to tour the homes.

What’s so special about HOMEARAMA? If you have never been to one of our shows, here’s what you are missing.

One-of-kind custom homes – one-of-kind quality. Calling the houses at HOMEARAMA “model homes” is somewhat like calling Frank Sinatra a singer. These houses feature the very best architecture, craftsmanship, finishes and features – and usually in unique combinations that simply can’t be seen anywhere else.

Over-the-top amenities. As you might expect, the homes of Country Brook North feature the most exquisite cabinetry, most stylish European appliances, the most exotic flooring, the most lavish master suites, the most innovative lighting systems, and the most imaginative home theater systems.

Cutting-edge technology. The “smart house” has arrived, and each of the houses at HOMEARAMA features technology that is light years ahead of what you would have found in HOMEARAMA houses as recently as five years ago.

Great take-away value. Almost none of us can afford a new home priced at more than $1 million, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take away a million dollars worth of ideas. From something as simple as the color of a throw pillow or a wallpaper pattern, to a major project – like remodeling your kitchen or bathrooms – the houses of HOMEARAMA are a treasure trove of ideas you can use when you get home.

Interior design and landscape design. HOMEARAMA features the very best work of the interior design and landscape design professions. No matter how large or modest your current home, their work at HOMEARAMA will inspire – and provide you with great ideas for improving the “curb appeal” of your house, the arrangement of your furniture and artwork, and the overall comfort of your home.

Great products and services – and free advice – from the professionals. At HOMEARAMA almost 60 firms will be exhibiting their products and services – everything you need for that upcoming home improvement project. Representatives of these firms will be present throughout HOMEARAMA to answer any question you may have.

A great experience for families and group of friends. HOMEARAMA is very family-friendly. HOMEARAMA also features excellent on-site food and beverage service, so bring the kids, tour the houses and then enjoy lunch or dinner with family.

HOMEARAMA is also an annual event from small groups of friends who take in the show together, discuss the merits of each of the houses they visit, and then take off for their favorite restaurant.

Whether with family or friends, HOMEARAMA is a great way to spend the afternoon or evening.
