PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS AND INDUSTRY AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE

Colorado Springs, CO (October 16, 2026) — The Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs (HBA) announced the winners of the People’s Choice Awards and the Industry Awards of Excellence for the 2026 Parade of Homes. This year’s homes ranged in price from the upper 400’s to more than $4 million.  22 builders presented 34 homes located throughout the Pikes Peak Region for the 72nd Annual Parade of Homes, including 3 featured communities: Meridian Ranch, Wolf Ranch, and Flying Horse North.

 

Industry professionals from Colorado judged the homes for the Industry Awards based on criteria established for that award category. The coveted People’s Choice Awards are voted on by Parade of Homes attendees who visited each home in that price category. Both the People’s Choice and the Industry Awards are broken out into twelve price categories. Industry Awards are then further divided among the following six categories: Best Kitchen, Best Primary Suite, Best Interior Design, Best Exterior, Best Architectural Exterior and Best Overall Home. 

 

On Wednesday, October 14, recipients of both the People’s Choice and Industry Awards were honored by the HBA at the Parade of Homes Awards Banquet held at Weidner Field with 200 builders, sponsors and partners in attendance.
