More MLSs Add New-Home Listings

Sixteen multiple listing services nationwide recently have signed agreements to add new-home plans and community information in a “new home channel” on their MLS dashboard, announced Builders Digital Experience Inc., a homebuilder marketing company.*
BDX is a joint venture with Move Inc., the operator of realtor.com®, and Builder Homesite Inc., a homebuilder consortium. In recent months, realtor.com® added a “New Homes & Communities” section*to its site, which is powered by BDX.*
“Across the country, over 63 percent of new homes are sold by agents, and our relationships with these MLSs allow them to bring an unprecedented level of new-home information and tools directly to their members,” says Tim Costello, CEO of BDX.
