NEW HOMES MAGAZINE, THE BIGGER, BETTER BOOK

New Homes Magazine—The Bigger, Better Book—lives up to its name by providing all the information buyers need to find their dream home in a convenient, easy-to-use format.

The Special Edition Magazine includes Features & Articles to Promote a Buying Decision
More than just a directory, New Homes Magazine and New Homes Special Edition Magazine include interesting articles that encourage a buying decision, along with special advertising features that provide a third-party endorsement. Special Edition advertising sections are also featured on New Homes Online for added exposure.

Buyers Shop by Location, Builder & Price with Maps, Quick Reference Guides & Builder Index
New Homes' color-coded overview maps show the whole picture, so buyers can determine which locations are most convenient to work, shopping, and activities. The Quick Reference Guide includes detailed information about each community—including the builder name, location, starting price, and sales office phone number—so home shoppers don't have to flip between pages. A builder index allows buyers to immediately locate their favorite home builder.

Every Issue is Direct Mailed to Thousands of Active Home Shoppers
New Homes Magazine's unique builder mailing list program targets prospective home buyers who are already actively shopping for a new home. The magazine is also mailed to thousands of home shoppers who request a free copy via the Internet or after receiving a Map Guide.

Grocery Store, Relocation Company and Corporate Distribution Extends Your Reach
A comprehensive distribution program ensures New Homes Magazine gets into the hands of serious home buyers. In addition to retail rack distribution that places New Homes in top grocery stores throughout Northern California, New Homes is available through relocation companies and corporate relocation departments.
