Who buys in US new construction, and is there a single national database?
- Who pays for attention here
- Production builders and their listing platforms pay for buyer clicks and leads, with Lennar, D.R. Horton and PulteGroup feeding NewHomeSource (Zonda) and paying per community listing and lead (head term "home builders near me" $6.67 CPC, 40500 monthly searches, measured 2026-09-01).
- What a cross-state index adds
- NewHomeSource, Zillow and Rocket Homes aggregate new-construction listings by metro and community, but builder license and complaint status across state contractor boards, plus HOA fees and warranty terms, are not joined nationally.
- Single national database?
- No federal one; the primary database is state-level. Contractor licensing and complaint records live in state boards, which NASCLA (the national association of state contractor licensing agencies) indexes, but there is no public national license database and it lacks build prices, warranty terms and HOA fees (verified 200).
