Mobile “Wars” Heat Up

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.

Bidding Wars!

Robert — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:03:15 +0000

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.

NEW HOME FEED CHANGES PRICING MODEL – CORE FUNCTIONALITY NOW FREE

New Home Feed, the Leading Marketing Tool for Home Builders to Disseminate and Manage New Home Listings, Recently Announced a New Pricing Model. The Core Functionality is Now Free. New Optional Add-Ons and 3rd-Party Developer Opportunities Being Introduced.

San Francisco, CA – New Home Feed, the leading marketing technology for home builders and other real estate professionals to disseminate and manage home listings, recently announced a new pricing model. The core functionality of New Home Feed, called “New Home Feed Basic,” is now free. Additional add-ons like enhanced reports, social media plug-ins, XML-feed generation, Craigslist listing-management, complete reporting, and 3rd-party developer opportunities are being introduced as “New Home Feed Plus.”

New Home Feed was created to solve problems endemic to the real estate industry like how to simply and cost-effectively get homes for sale in front of buyers during the home search, how to easily let builders manage and update listings, and how to understand what listing websites perform best. One year after launching a beta version of New Home Feed, team identified opportunities for improvement. The top priority for changing the New Home Feed model was to increase market penetration, attract new users, and open the New Home Feed platform to new developers. A careful market analysis shows the new model will build the user base, and active online marketers will value the opportunities available with New Home Feed Plus such as optional add-ons, unique syndication services, and other enhancements.

“Our job is to help builders easily use all available web-based technologies to sell the most homes possible—and to be transparent about the results. That’s why we built New Home Feed, and that’s why we are so excited to introduce New Home Feed Basic, and New Home Feed Plus,” said Rick Phillips, CEO of New Home Feed.

“Market conditions and user feedback suggest the real estate community will be best served if there is no entry cost to use New Home Feed. A free model, with optional enhancements available, will help everyone reach more prospects and sell more homes and the modestly priced ‘New Home Feed Plus’ will be very well received by marketers, analysis, and financial decision makers,” said Alexandria Grote Phillips, the company’s Chief Financial Officer.

New Home Feed users to register for “New Home Feed Basic” now get the following functionality: listing management, pay-to-list site management, syndication, dashboard reporting, generation of an XML feed. New Home Feed users to opt for “New Home Feed Plus” get everything included with New Home Feed Basic, plus: Full reporting including lead reporting, craigslist assistance, social media connectivity, assistance to get help uploading and managing listings, and access to third party apps.

Interested parties may register for New Home Feed at http://newhomefeed.com/pricing where more information is also available.
