Saratoga Showcase of Homes opens 13 houses for final weekend

The 30th Saratoga Showcase of Homes opens its 13 newly built houses to the public for the second and final weekend on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 10 and 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The tour is run by the Saratoga Builders Association, and a $25 ticket covers every house on all four days, according to the Showcase’s website.

Twelve builders have homes on this year’s tour, with stops in Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, Stillwater, Wilton, Greenfield Center and Round Lake, Saratoga Living reported. Ticket money goes to Rebuilding Together Saratoga County and Habitat for Humanity of Northern Saratoga, Warren and Washington Counties, two groups that repair homes and build affordable housing.

The 13 homes on the tour

The Showcase numbers its houses, and this is the 2026 list as posted on the event’s website, with the builder and model name where one is given.

1. 5 Wyatt’s Way, Clifton Park, built by Kohler Homes (The Adams).
2. 33 Cambridge Ave., Clifton Park, built by Talarico Construction.
3. 27 Concord Drive, Clifton Park, built by Barbera Homes and Park West LLC (The Overlook).
4. 76 English Road, Round Lake, built by Spa City Builders.
5. 9 Kenzie Court, built by Homes by Malta Development (The Dogwood).
6. 2 Reeds Hollow, Saratoga Springs, built by Amedore Homes (The Leland Condominium).
7. 6 Phyllians Bluff, Stillwater, built by Witt Construction (California Cottage).
8. 403 Grange Road, Greenfield Center, built by Urvalek Builders.
9. 1 Wistmans Way, Saratoga Springs, built by Belmonte Builders (Cypress Twin Home).
10. 21 Angeles Ave., Saratoga Springs, also built by Belmonte Builders (The Mayfield).
11. 13 Cannon Royal Drive, Saratoga Springs, built by BT Land Development.
12. 36 Cannon Royal Drive, Saratoga Springs, built by Trojanski Builders.
13. 5 Kerr Drive, Wilton, built by Kodiak Construction (The Carter).

Several of those houses carry a Saratoga Springs mailing address, which in Saratoga County does not always mean the house sits inside the city, so use the Showcase’s map for directions. Saratoga Living listed the Homes by Malta Development house on Kenzie Court with a Ballston Spa address and spelled the Witt Construction street as Phyllians Way. We used the Showcase’s own list.

What to look for inside

This year’s houses range from low-maintenance condominiums and twin homes to large custom houses, Saratoga Living reported, with spray-foam insulation, Energy Star components and green-certified construction among the features builders are pointing to. The magazine singled out the BT Land Development house on Cannon Royal Drive for a 1,500-square-foot show garage.

The Homes by Malta Development house, No. 5 on the tour, also has a student project on display all four days. Construction trades students at the F. Donald Myers Education Center of WSWHE BOCES built a Victorian-inspired greenhouse, 16 feet long and 8 feet wide, during the 2025-26 school year, working with the center’s horticulture, landscaping and floral design students, according to the Showcase. Curtis Lumber was among the industry partners on the project.

Awards and the People’s Choice vote

A panel of architects, builders, kitchen and bath designers, decorators and landscape architects judged the homes a few days before the tour opened. Winners in seven categories, from kitchen and primary bath to workmanship and landscaping, are being announced at an awards celebration on Thursday, Oct. 8, and the trophies go on display at the winning houses, the Showcase says.

Visitors get a vote, too. Every ticket has a People’s Choice ballot for the favorite house in each of five classes: Classic, Executive, Luxury, Estate and Grand Estate. A ballot also enters the visitor in a prize drawing, as long as they tour at least 10 of the 13 homes and drop it in the box at any house. These are the prizes the Showcase lists.

• The grand prize is a $1,000 landscape design package from Peak Environmental.
• Second prize is an overnight stay with dinner and breakfast at The Inn at Saratoga.
• Other winners get gift cards from more than 30 businesses, most of them Saratoga County restaurants, shops and services.

Where the money goes

The Showcase raised $66,000 for the two charities in 2025, bringing the builders association’s total over 29 years to nearly $1.7 million, according to the event’s website. Saratoga Living put the total at $1.8 million. The association reported raising $60,000 from the 2024 tour, when eight homes from seven builders drew more than 3,000 visitors, the Glens Falls Business Journal reported. In 2021, the 25th year, the total stood at more than $1.3 million, according to CBS6.

Both charities also sell tickets at their resale stores: the Rebuilding Together ReShop at 32 Milton Ave. in Ballston Spa and the Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 1373 Route 9 in Fort Edward.

Who puts it on

The Saratoga Builders Association is a nonprofit trade group for the county’s building industry, with members from builders and remodelers to suppliers, lenders, architects and real estate agents. Executive director Barry Potoker co-chairs this year’s Showcase committee with Lisa Licata of Sterling Real Estate Group, according to the Showcase. The committee also includes bankers, real estate agents, builders and people from the two charities.

Our read: the tour is the easiest way to see what new construction in Saratoga County looks like right now, from a condo in Saratoga Springs to a custom house on Grange Road, without making an appointment with a sales office. Thirteen homes in six towns is a lot for one afternoon, so pick a cluster and save the rest for Sunday.
