Searches Easier Than Ever on NAHB’s Official New Homes Web Site

Consumers who are shopping for a new home on HomeBuilder.com™ — a division of Homestore and NAHB’s official Web site on the Internet — will find their search faster, easier and more effective following significant changes that have recently been made to the site’s search function.

Prospective home buyers can now locate new homes by precise geographic locations, re-rank their search results based on their own criteria and map all search results. According to recent surveys, a significant majority of home buyers begin their search online. 

In other changes that were announced by Homestore last week from its headquarters in Westlake Village, CA, builders can now promote their communities more prominently and display advertising within more focused geographic areas.

The easiest & most affordable way to increase your productivity.

“We are committed to offering consumers the most comprehensive — and easily searchable — new home content possible,” said Mike Long, the company’s chief executive officer. “By enabling consumers to more easily find the new home communities and new homes that best fit their needs, we are able to generate even more highly qualified buyer inquiries for our home builder customers.”

Ranked as the Internet’s leading new homes site, the HomeBuilder.com database offers prospective home buyers more than 75,000 models, homes and built-to-suit plans for viewing.

HomeBuilder.com is the exclusive new home content provider to AOL, MSN, Yahoo! and United Online.
