PDF Brochures for New Homes

[Arman]

Why don't more new home developers offer PDF downloads of their brochures? Toll Brothers used to offer PDFs of their floorplans, but that stopped. Standard Pacific Homes used to have PDF downloads of brochures for most of their developments, and that seems to have stopped (even for developments that are still being sold and used to be available but are no longer).

Today, I was pleasantly surprised by the PDF download of the brochure for Brookfield Homes' Seaside Ridge.

It seems like an easy enough thing to do. What's the downside?

Oh? I thought most did. For example, at the bottom of this page, I noticed it comes in: Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, English, and Qwertish.

An overview brochure (above) isn't the same as the actual brochure with floorplans that you get at the sales office. Even if there were actual brochures on TIC website (which I can't find), I'm not saying that no homebuilders offer them, it just seems that few do, and increasingly fewer do, when it's a relatively cost-free way to have people get interested in your homes.

I find TIC pretty good about putting interactive plans online.  We went to a carpet contractor this weekend and they were able to do a rough estimate based about the online plan.  I don't think I need to print them out, just pull them up on my laptop or phone.

Most home developers have some sort of interactive floorplans online. However, such interactive floorplans do not always work on tablets/phones. PDF negates that problem. And it makes it easy for archival purposes.
