Venturebeat.com today shares some insights into the fact that in Silicon Valley, pretty much any company you can shake a stick at has some “skin in the mobile game” and that it is getting politicized. Facebook, Yahoo, Google – these players are all trying to capture market share in a space that is hot and getting hotter. The article includes details on the big players and what they are up to, and is worth a read.
We bring this up to say that New Home Feed has some pretty exciting mobile plans of our own, and we’re excited to tell you more about it. Soon.
Our friends over at Lennar share news that inventory of homes is at roughly a six-year low and, with a market in rebound, “bidding wars” are happening again up and down the coasts. In 98 of the largest 100 metro areas, buying is again better than renting.
Which we think is all great news. And which (shameless plug alert!) we think means, dear home builder reader, that if you aren’t on New Home Feed, you aren’t doing all you can to get your listings in front of these urban, web-savvy home shoppers…And of course, getting started on New Home Feed is totally free.
Our friends over at Zillow have hired high-profile real estate blogger Jay Thompson as the Director of Industry Outreach and Social Media. Read all about it here. Congrats friends!

Rick, Alex, and Robert will be at the International Builder Show (IBS) in Orlando to meet users, channel partners and to generally be a part of what we think will kick off the year everything turns around for builders. Are you going? Get in touch with us (@newhomefeed on Twitter, or email works too) and let’s grab a drink.
See you at the show!
