Eleven spectacular new luxury homes were showcased during this year’s HomeShowExpo, as builders competed for the event’s coveted top awards, including the much-desired People’s Choice Award.

September 2026

The beautiful homes featured soaring ceilings and expansive windows, quality architectural elements and materials, gourmet kitchens with all the amenities, cozy office retreats, indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces ready to host family and friends, and primary bedroom suites that were spa worthy.

The eleven fabulous homes made it difficult for the judges and the attendees to select their favorite features among all the innovative ideas. Beautifully appointed, fully decorated and skillfully landscaped, these custom-built luxury homes were certainly show-stoppers. All the builders and the industry professionals that helped design them are all winners.
