HOMES
Is there a list of the homes on the Tour this year? How many are there?
The list of homes will be released on our website 72 hours before the event. We usually have 6 to 8 homes on the Tour.
Is there a shuttle to take me to the homes?
No. You must arrange your own transportation to homes. Parking at homes is on the street and can be congested during the Tour. We recommend that you carpool with other guests.
Why can’t I bring my purse or bag into homes?
Purses and large bags can damage walls and other home décor. Please leave all items in your vehicle.
Who owns the homes on the Tour?
All the homes are privately owned and are generously shared by homeowners for our event.
Can my home be on the CDM Home Tour?
If you would like your home to be considered for the CDM Home Tour, please contact Gina Jaha at info@cdmhometour.org. Typically, Tour homes are recently built or remodeled, in a unique location, and/or have special features.
TICKETS
How do I purchase a ticket?
Tickets are sold on the CDM Home Tour website via Eventbrite. Early bird tickets cost $95 (plus ticketing fees) until 12/31/24 and regular tickets cost $125 (plus ticketing fees).
Tickets are sold out. Is there another way to get a ticket?
Our tickets have sold out the last few years. After sell-out, we open our waitlist. Be sure to join the waitlist MULTIPLE times if you need more than one ticket. For example, if you need 3 tickets, join the waitlist 3 times. You will be contacted by email if a ticket comes available. Links for waitlist tickets expire after 4 hours so be sure to use an email address you check frequently. We do typically have a lot of movement on our waitlist especially close to the event date.

Items for sale include jewelry, clothing, art, beauty items, home décor, and more. Boutique vendors support the CDM Home Tour by donating a portion of their sales.
How do I become a Boutique vendor?
Local businesses interested in becoming a vendor should contact our Boutique Coordinator at boutique@cdmhometour.org.
