Austin, TX, July 24, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Zillow.com, one of the Web’s leading online real estate resources, has collaborated with NewHomeSource.com, the most complete new home marketplace, to provide consumers with the ability to search new homes across the country.

By joining forces with BHI, Zillow’s more than 5 million users now have access to detailed listings from more than 9,000 new home communities across the U.S.
“Zillow is the perfect partner to help NewHomeSource.com expand its reach – we’ll be able to showcase builder listings to a wide range of U.S. home buyers,” said Tim Costello, CEO of Builder Homesite, Inc. “Our builders want to be where consumers go to find homes, and Zillow is a top choice for many buyers.”
“We’re thrilled to be adding new construction to our growing database of nearly 3 million homes for sale,” said Jorrit Van der Meulen, Zillow’s vice president of partner relations. “BHI’s ongoing relationship with the country’s leading builders gives our users access to the largest selection of new home communities on the Web.”
