The AI-powered marketplace for new construction homes - aggregating the listings builders keep off the MLS, and pairing buyers with experts who only do new builds.
Most people searching for a home never see the new-build that might have been perfect for them. It was not listed on the sites they were browsing. It was sitting in a builder's spreadsheet, in a sales-office CRM, or on a community microsite that no search engine indexed well. Jome, an Austin-based company formerly known as NewHomesMate, was built on the premise that this was a solvable problem.
Jome operates an AI-powered marketplace dedicated entirely to new construction homes. It gathers dispersed information from builders and community sources into one place, where buyers can find, compare and buy - filtering by price, builder incentives, nearby amenities, and even air quality. In the markets it serves, the company says it lists roughly 90% of available new construction inventory across 16 U.S. cities including Austin, Denver and Miami.
The company reframes a familiar frustration. Resale real estate has been mapped, indexed and rated for two decades. New construction - a large and growing slice of the market - has stayed comparatively opaque, with information scattered across builders who each publish it their own way. Jome's answer is not more supply. It is organization: turning inconsistent, fragmented listings into one clean, searchable view.
On one side are consumers shopping for a newly built home - first-time buyers and move-up buyers who want to compare options without stitching together a dozen builder websites. On the other are the home builders and their sales teams, including national names like D.R. Horton, Lennar and PulteGroup, who gain a distribution channel to reach qualified, ready buyers.
Buyer-facing search and consultations are free. Jome earns its keep by generating demand and sales for builders - the classic two-sided marketplace, applied to a category that had largely been left out of the online real estate revolution.
New construction comes with quirks that trip up even experienced buyers: incentives that change week to week, contracts written by builders, timelines tied to construction, and inventory that often never touches the traditional MLS.
Jome tackles each with a specific tool - real-time incentive tracking, AI-assisted contract review, instant tour booking, and advisors trained only on new construction. The bet is that in an opaque market, whoever makes the information legible wins.
AI-powered aggregation of new-build listings, filterable by price, incentives, amenities and more - covering ~90% of inventory in its markets.
Free consultations with real estate experts trained specifically on the new construction buying process.
AI-assisted review and summarization of builder contracts, so buyers understand the terms they are signing.
Reserve home viewings instantly, with confirmation from the builder.
Live tracking of builder incentives so buyers can compare offers as they change.
Distribution and audience access that connects builders and their sales teams with qualified buyers.
Zillow, Realtor.com and Redfin mapped the resale market. Jome went the other direction and specialized in the category everyone else treated as an afterthought. Its advisors are trained only on new construction; its data is collected from builders others ignore.
That focus shows up in growth. The company reports revenue climbing more than 300% since its 2023 seed round, and frames its value not as adding housing supply but as making the existing market more efficient for buyers and builders alike.
