New iPad app makes it easier to find perfect new home or condo
New Home Buyers Network launches Canada's first new construction listings app; homebuyers can search over 6,000 new homes and condos, view floor plans, calculate mortgage payments, and more
TORONTO, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - New Home Buyers Network (NHBN) has launched the first iPad app in Canada to make the hunt for new houses and condos in Ontario a whole lot easier. As Canada's go-to source for online listings of new-build homes, NHBN sees the new app as a natural extension of its existing family of digital offerings that includes the popular homebuyers.com website.

Homebuyers can research new construction listings on the go
The new app is an easy-to-use and intuitive search tool that connects users to a database of over 6,000 new home and condo models and suites - all in one place - from over 100 of Ontario's finest and most prominent new home and condominium builders. Homebuyers can view floor plans, save favourites, share listings and create notes about the new homes and condos that interest them. The app also allows users to connect directly with builders with their questions and sign up for priority registration to receive updates on new construction projects, buying opportunities and incentives ahead of the general public. In addition, the app supports homebuyers through the decision-making process with a mortgage payment calculator and useful information about the home purchase and ownership process.
The app provides access to new-construction listings across Ontario. In the near future, NHBN plans to expand the geographic reach of the listings to other Canadian provinces.
