			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-810" title="Home searching on mobile phone" src="http://www.builderdesigns.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/iStock_000017188325XSmall-150x99.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="99" />Its no secret that most homebuyers search online to find homes. According to the <a href="http://www.realtor.org/prodser.nsf/products/186-45-10?OpenDocument" target="_blank">2010 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers</a>, 99% of people are using the Internet as the primary source for home searches. Only having a website is not going to cut it anymore and many builders and realtors have already been using and getting educated in technology areas such as social media, email newsletters, blogging, self-managed websites and mobile apps. These are the people that will sell more homes.</p>
<p>The biggest trend for builders this year is going to be tablet and mobile apps that will attract the most tech savvy homebuyers. Developing an app for builders really depends on what type of builder they are and showcasing the homes, plans and communities they build.  Using this app as a point of sale for sales reps not only makes them look smart, it will keep track of their every prospect and will help maximize every new home sales lead. There are endless possibilities for mobile apps and how they can be used.</p>
<p>Having a website that is designed to be responsive to every device that can surf the web is also important. Your old 2005 website may still look great, but will it still look good on an iPad or Android smart phone? Go a step further and have a mobile website designed that is specific for getting homebuyers to what they’re looking for: plans, available homes and always a quick way to contact someone.</p>
<p>The International Builders Show is coming up in less than a month. Check out the latest and greatest in technology for builders at the <a href="http://www.builder-tech.com/">1<sup>st</sup> annual Builder Tech party</a>! We will have a demo of our new iPad app and our highest performing mobile sites.</p>
