Free 'New Homes Month' Resources Available Online

This ad is one of numerous resources available free to NAHB members and associations for promoting homeownership and building and buying new homes for New Homes Month coming in April.

April is "New Homes Month" — and less than a month away.

To help you take full advantage of it, NAHB has developed and is offering a free, online promotional kit packed with resources and materials for builders and local associations.

The promotional kit — available to members only — is designed to bring positive attention to the home building industry and includes consumer information on the benefits of homeownership and, in particular, buying a new home.

The New Homes Month kit includes consumer articles, print advertisements, a New Homes Month Proclamation and other resources to help you and your association maximize New Homes Month throughout April.

These materials can be used to promote spring home shows or parades of homes and other special events your association may be planning in April — including why now is a good time to buy a new home.

To view the resources available in the New Homes Month kit, click here.

For more information, e-mail Niki Clark at NAHB, or call her at 800-368-5242 x8061.
