One of the biggest decisions we ever make, financially and emotionally, is choosing a home. Our mission at HomeViews is to share useful, trustworthy insights about residential developments to support those people making that decision.
So you’re looking for your next home within a residential development. Which information source do you trust most – that glossy sales brochure or honest reviews written by existing residents?
It’s a no-brainer, isn’t it? In fact, a whopping 88% of us now trust review sites as much as a recommendation from friends or family. Hard to believe then, that before HomeViews was born, no review platform existed to help with what’s probably our biggest financial decision – where to live.
There’s been a huge shift in the last ten years around the information we value and seek. 64% of us not only value online reviews, but we proactively seek them out before making a purchase decision.
This is especially true when it comes to millennials, who value authenticity in the marketing they consume more than anything else. User-generated content or ‘UGC’ that is real and organic (as opposed to perfect and packaged) actively drives people to make new purchases.
93% of consumers find online reviews helpful when making a purchase decision.

Our mission at HomeViews is to provide a platform where residents of residential developments can share their insights and advice with those looking to live there. We believe residents have valuable, unique insights that can benefit those who are making a decision about their new home. We offer guidance on what we believe is a valuable review and seek to verify all resident reviews, so our information is the most valuable and trusted out there.
“This is great – I wish I had had HomeViews when looking at buying new builds. There’s definitely some information I’d like to share about the experience.”
