BuzzBuzzHome provides an online database for new home construction and residential areas.[1] The company is based in Toronto and has offices in Vancouver, New York City and Los Angeles.
For consumers, BuzzBuzzHome offers a free wiki-powered database of information regarding new developments in the United States and Canada including pricing, floor plans, renderings, and information on the builder and developer. BuzzBuzzHome also serves as a marketing tool for developers, brokers, and marketing agencies. BuzzBuzzHome employs research staff who update developer pages, and the wiki format of the website allows registered developers to update their own listings directly. For an additional monthly fee, developers can have their projects featured prominently.[1]
