The New Home Company Partners with Zillow Offers to Simplify Process for Buyers with Homes to Sell

NEW HOME buyers that are simultaneously selling their existing home can receive a cash offer directly from Zillow and safely move when they're ready with no showings or repairs to manage

ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The New Home Company (NEW HOME) (NYSE: NWHM) today announced a partnership with Zillow Offers to simplify the process for buyers with homes to sell at its communities throughout California and Arizona. The program is geared to NEW HOME buyers that are simultaneously selling their existing home and can receive a cash offer directly from Zillow, if their home meets certain criteria, allowing them to safely move when they’re ready with no showings or repairs to manage.

Those selling their current home through Zillow Offers while buying from NEW HOME will also enjoy an extended closing period of up to eight months, so they don't have to worry about timing the sale of their existing home with the move-in date of their newly constructed residence. This will help them avoid moving twice or carrying two mortgages at the same time.

“Many purchasers of new homes are also trying to sell their current home at the same time as buying, which is stressful,” said Lucy Wohltman, Vice President of New Construction at Zillow. “Not only are these buyers trying to prepare for open houses and align timelines, they can be struggling with the daunting reality of owning two homes at once. At its core, Zillow Offers was designed to alleviate these pain points by giving homeowners a quick and efficient way to sell their home in time to purchase their next. By partnering with The New Home Company through Zillow Offers, we're excited to bring this ease and flexibility to a greater share of home shoppers in the western U.S.”

For NEW HOME, Zillow Offers is another component of its dedication to award-winning customer care. The company has been recognized multiple times for providing the best purchase and ownership experiences in the country by the national customer satisfaction “Eliant Awards.”

“Zillow Offers is an added benefit to our talented group of sales managers in keeping up with demand at many of our communities,” said Joan Webb, Chief Marketing Officer for NEW HOME. “A concrete offer from Zillow will take away many of the surprises that can arise during the purchase process. This will ultimately help us increase home sales, eliminate contingencies and lower the risk of cancelled transactions.”
