With more than 15,000 home plans to choose from, users may find the task of searching for a new home a bit daunting. But with HDA's new search features, finding that special luxury house plan is a breeze. Consumers are able to search by home plan style, size, and by estimated cost-to-build. HDA lists more than a dozen home plan style categories, and has dozens of styles from custom log home plans to contemporary home plans. The simple navigation allows one to narrow by category and the cost-to-build tool is a unique feature that allows the home plan searcher to ensure they will stay within their set budget.

Visitors to the site can click on the Photo Gallery to view all plans with photos available, or when viewing a single plan, click on the camera icon to view available photos. It is a fun and simple way to take the customer on a virtual tour through the home.
