Houzz.com The New Way To Design Your Home

   If you’re looking at home and design photos on Pinterest, you’ll love another fast-growing repository of beautiful home photos.  It’s called Houzz, and it’s already turning heads in the real estate community.

Houzz   (www.houzz.com) is a combination of “house” and “buzz.”  Houzz is a home remodeling website that caters to current and aspiring homeowners with a passion for renovation and design.

Houzz was launched in  2009 by a couple in San Francisco that were seeking remodeling inspiration for their home.  Today 90% of the site’s 14 million monthly unique visitors are homeowners.

Houzz features a library of more than 1.5 million high-quality photos that were uploaded by designers and remodelers.

Whether selling, buying, or remodeling Houzz can help you better understand a home’s potential. Houzz can also help you look past aesthetic challenges you may be facing.  Just search Houzz’s searchable library and renovation photos for all kinds of ideas, and inspiration.
