Today the National Association of Realtors® launched HouseLogic, a new,
comprehensive consumer Web site about all aspects of homeownership. HouseLogic
helps homeowners make smart decisions and take responsible actions to maintain,
protect and increase the value of their homes.
“Backed by the resources and industry insights of NAR and its Realtor® members,
HouseLogic will engage and involve consumers throughout the lifecycle of
homeownership,” said NAR President Vicki Cox Golder, owner of Vicki L. Cox &
Associates in Tucson, Ariz. “It makes sense that, as the first, best source for real
estate information, NAR should collaborate with today’s consumers to help them make
the most out of owning a home. HouseLogic will help us do that.”
The free Web site helps homeowners plan and organize their home projects and
provides timely articles and news; home improvement advice and how-to’s; and
information about taxes, home finances and insurance.
“Unlike other homeownership Web sites, HouseLogic helps consumers view their
home through a financial lens and make smart, informed home improvement
investment decisions,” said Golder. “Families can set goals for saving money on their
home or increasing its value, and easily track the progress they are making on those
goals.
Registered users can save relevant information, create to-do lists and set project
reminders. The Web site can also be customized for individual homeowners
depending on how handy or ambitious they are regarding home projects; how much
money they want to spend or save; where they live; and their priorities, such as
increasing the value of their home or improving their neighborhood.
HouseLogic also empowers homeowners who want to get more actively engaged in
shaping community life and advocate neighborhood and homeownership issues that
matter most to them. The site provides users with the tools and know-how to effect
change and address concerns, like establishing a neighborhood watch program,
building a community playground, or participating in city or county planning efforts.
“For more than 100 years Realtors® have been bringing America home,” said Golder.
“HouseLogic takes owning a home to the next level, partnering with consumers to
truly help people build their futures through homeownership.
