Builder Homesite Featured on Yahoo! Real Estate

Newhomesource205 Builder Homesite is a consortium of 38 of the nation’s largest homebuilders. They have a website at www.newhomesource.com which is a consumer website for comprehensive information about new homes.

NewHomeSource has teamed up with Yahoo! Real Estate to provide a way for Yahoo! users to search new home listings from across the country. Above the fold on the Yahoo! Real Estate page is the search interface for real estate. There is now a specific radio button for "New Homes" along with apartments, foreclosures, classifieds, and the MLS. When you search for new homes, each featured listing contains the NewHomeSource logo, but the logo doesn’t link anywhere.

Other featured partners on the Yahoo! Real Estate main page include RealtyTrac for foreclosures, Lending Tree, Countrywide Home Loans, and Quicken Loans. This deal should bring a lot more eyeballs to the new homes of builderes in the consortium.
