By County
One way you can tour the 2018 Triangle Parade of Homes is by County. Wake County has the vast majority of homes available, so you may want to stretch Wake County over a couple of weekends. Here is our recommendation when touring this way:
Week One: Durham & Orange County
Week Two: Chatham & Wake County
Week Three: Wake & Johnston County
Prices High to Low OR Prices Low to High
This is another popular way to tour homes in the parade. We do recommend if you’re touring by price to definitely plan ahead! You don’t want to be jumping from one side of town to the other. It’s helpful if you view all of the homes in the area you’re in and then move to the next area that homes in a similar price range!

If you only have one weekend to view homes this year, you may just want to pick out your favorites to make sure you get to see your top picks!
