(NASDAQ: Z and ZG), which houses a portfolio of the largest and most vibrant real estate and home-related brands on mobile and Web, today launched Builder Inform™, a cloud-based data dashboard that provides robust consumer insight data from Zillow Group to residential builders to help them make decisions about future projects.  

Builder Inform is available to builders who participate in Zillow Group's Promoted Communities, the exclusive advertising platform for builders on Zillow and Trulia.

Powered by aggregated search data from millions of homebuyers on Zillow, as well as by Zillow Group's unique economic insights, Builder Inform includes a wide range of data to help builders make decisions about where they should build and what types of homes to build.

Builder Inform allows builders to view and compare currently listed homes by type and location to help them understand what they should build based on consumer demand in a given zip code.

"Builder Inform will provide our new construction partners with one-of-a-kind data and insights to help them understand real-time consumer and economic trends, customized for their local market," said Lucy Wohltman, Zillow Group vice president of new construction.
