Free Family Event!

To all the amazing moms out there—your hard work, care, and love don’t go unnoticed. Us dads see it and appreciate you more than we probably say out loud. Wishing you a weekend full of rest, joy, and maybe a little peace and quiet!
Quick reminder: This is the final weekend of the Spring Parade of Homes! You can still tour over 100 brand-new homes across the Wichita area. I’ve toured quite a few myself and put together a list of my favorite new neighborhoods—scroll down to check them out.
Also, I just dropped a new YouTube video highlighting some of the top new construction communities around town. [Click here to watch it!]

Parade of Homes - Spring 2025

Last weekend for Parade of Homes here in town! —which basically means you’ve got the perfect excuse to peek inside a bunch of brand-new homes (over 100 of them!) across the area. I get to do this kind of thing for a living, so I’ve already scoped out some of the best spots. If you’re thinking about building, or just love dreaming up future house plans, check out neighborhoods like Castaway, Henwick, Brookfield, Freestone, The Coves, Fontana, and Talia. Lots of great stuff out there.
The tour is totally free, super casual, and ends after this weekend! So whether you’re actively house hunting or just looking for ideas, it’s a fun way to spend an afternoon. Grab a coffee, bring a friend, and go see what’s out there—you might leave with more than just Pinterest inspiration.
And hey, if a new build is something you're seriously considering, I’d love to walk through the process with you. I’ve helped a bunch of families build their dream homes right here in Wichita, and I’d be happy to help you create a space you’re proud to call home! (I can probably get you a better deal too 😉) Text or call anytime: 316-259-1995.
📍 Location: Various homes across Wichita (see map)
📆 Date & Time: May 10–11 • 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
🎟️ Tickets: Free
