The eyes have it — outside eyes, for the most part, who judged entries in the Parade of Homes Fall Classic, picking the best from an array of price ranges.

Realtors and others in the housing businesses, but not directly tied to any homebuilder in the parade, saw them all.

The Parade of Homes Fall Classic, presented by the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association, continues Saturday and Sunday with 100-plus new homes open free to the public from 1 to 7 p.m.

The parade, presented by the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association, showcases more than 100 new homes across the metro area. Maps are available at www.paradeofhomesok.com, and parade booklets also can be picked up at metro-area Louie's and Fidelity Bank locations.

The list of judges is at bottom. Here are the houses they judged as tops.
