8/11/2025 Feature Update: Market Selection in Agent Portal!

Agents, we’ve just rolled out one of the most important updates yet—you can now set your Market (or Markets) inside your Agent Portal.

Why This Matters

Until now, the New Home Buddy map had a default center point between San Antonio and Austin so you could see all available homes. That meant when you shared your Personal Link, buyers would see everything on the platform.

Now, you’re in control.

When you set your market(s):

Your map defaults to the areas you select—no more zooming or scrolling to get where you want to work.
Buyers clicking your Personal Link will only see homes in your selected markets by default.
Change your market at any time, and your Personal Link updates instantly—no extra steps.
- Note: you can still explore other locations by using the search bar or clicking “Search This Area” to see homes outside of the default market area.

How It Works

Log into your Agent Portal.
Go to your Profile.
Select one or multiple markets:
- San Antonio
- Austin
- Dallas/Fort Worth
Save your changes—that’s it!

Select the Market(s) you want to work in

Austin, TX Market selected on profile

What Buyers See

If you select San Antonio, your map will be centered there with a generous radius to capture nearby communities.
Want to show homes in Austin too? Add it as a second market, and New Home Buddy will automatically calculate the best map view.

Buyers can still explore beyond your chosen markets—scroll the map and click “Search This Area”—but they’ll start exactly where you want them to.

Multiple Markets? No Problem.

Whether you work one city or cover all three, you can mix and match markets however you like.

One market = hyper-local focus.
Multiple markets = wider reach while still keeping the starting view relevant.

Simply select as many Markets as you’d like to see or work in – New Home Buddy will do the rest!

For Builders: No Action Needed

We’ve already matched your division to the right market in our system.

In niche cases (like San Antonio–San Marcos), we can even set a custom pinpoint and radius for your listings.

Why This Update Is Huge

This update is a big step toward making New Home Buddy a localized experience for agents, builders, and buyers. It’s also the foundation for our future market expansions, both inside and outside Texas.

We’re continuing to change the way new construction homes are sold, and this feature makes sure every buyer starts their search exactly where you want them to.
