Congressional Passage of Flood Insurance Bill a Boost for Housing
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) applauded the Senate for approving flood insurance legislation that will provide much-needed certainty to home owners and financial stability for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). H.R. 3370, the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act, was approved by the House earlier this month and is expected to be signed into law shortly by President Obama.

 Builders Digital Experience (BDX) has partnered with HBAGNO to help builders list their homes for free online. And now this member benefit has gotten even better and includes more exposure. Now when you list your communities on hbagno.org, your communities and homes will also display for FREE on the two leading new home websites, NewHomeSource.com and MoveNewHomes.com. These heavily trafficked sites see over 1 million unique visitors each month and is a great advantage to your company.
What do you need to do if you are already listing on the new home site? Nothing! Congratulations, your homes are now included as basic listings on NewHomeSource.com and MoveNewHomes.com.
If you are not already listing your new home communities on the HBA's site, now is the time to do so! Are you a custom or Build on Your Lot builder? No problem. BDX has tailored listings options for you. Signing up is simple and the time commitment on your end is minimal -- BDX will help you upload your initial community data and train you on how to keep it updated going forward. This benefit is part of your membership, so make sure you are taking advantage of this free exposure.
Having a presence in the online marketplace increases your visibility, traffic and sales. Set yourself apart from the competition and improve your exposure among new home buyers by signing up for the free listing program by visiting www.theBDX.com/Free.
