8 New LotVue Features To Convert More Website Visitors

If your website’s just a digital brochure collecting dust, you’re doing it wrong. LotVue just dropped some serious upgrades like sharper maps, faster filtering, and better everything. So homebuyers can stop bouncing and start booking with more signed contracts and giving your sales team the tools to actually close. Here’s what’s new, why it matters, and how it helps you move more. 

1. New range filters for price, beds, baths, and floors 

Buyers come to your site with a general idea of what they want. Now they can narrow it down faster. 

LotVue now lets buyers filter available homes by price range, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and floors. That means they don’t have to click into a dozen listings to find what fits. 

Why it matters: Less frustration, faster decisions. Happy buyers who feel in control of the process are more likely to take the next step. 

Who benefits: Your sales team (who spends less time chasing leads that aren’t a good fit) and your buyers (who find what they want faster). 

2. Set different map views for web and PDF 

Do you need the map on your website to show one view but your downloadable brochure to show another? Now you can. 

With this update, you can set different zoom levels and map positions for your online display versus your printed or downloadable PDF version. 

Why it matters: You get more flexibility and control over how your communities are presented, helping buyers focus on the most relevant parts of communities and making your content more readable for them. 

Who benefits: Your marketing team and sales reps who want their flyers and brochures to highlight the right areas.

3. Mobile-friendly map embed 

Many buyers visit your site from a phone or tablet, and clunky maps don’t cut it. 

We redesigned LotVue’s embedded maps and navigation to be faster, cleaner, and easier to use on any screen. This update makes your website feel modern and crisp, even from a mobile device. 

Why it matters: If your map is hard to use on mobile, buyers will bounce. A better experience means they stay longer, engage more, and remember your homes. 

Who benefits: Your marketing team and your buyers. Good user experience equals better conversions.

4. Lot "breathing" animation 

This one’s subtle but powerful. When a buyer clicks or searches for a lot, the map automatically centers and adds a gentle "breathing" effect that draws the eye right to it. 

Why it matters: It gives buyers instant context. They don’t have to guess where a lot is or how it fits into the community; they just see it. 

Who benefits: Buyers who feel more confident, and your team, who fields fewer confused questions.

5. Home cards and map in one view 

Buyers no longer have to bounce back and forth between listings and maps. 

The new "lot rendering embed" lets them see inventory homes as scrollable cards alongside the community map, all in the same view. They can click a home, see where it is, and keep browsing without starting over. 

Why it matters: Keeps buyers in flow. Reduces friction. Helps them find and compare homes faster. 

Who benefits: Sales teams want buyers to be better informed before reaching out. 

6. Faster filtering (no page reloads) 

This one’s all about speed. Applying filters no longer reloads the page. Everything updates instantly, which makes for a smoother, more responsive feel. 

Why it matters: Website lag kills momentum. The faster buyers can interact with your site, the more likely they are to take action. 

Who benefits: Everyone. Sales. Marketing. Buyers. No more waiting around. 

7. Custom Google map styling 

Want your map to match your brand? Now it can. 

LotVue now lets you customize the look of your Google map embed, colors, roads, land types, labels, and more. You can save multiple styles and choose what looks best on your site. 

Why it matters: Consistent branding builds trust. It makes your site feel more polished and professional. 

Who benefits: Your marketing team. And your buyers, who appreciate a more put-together online experience. 

8. Self-service edits to street names and amenities (coming soon) 

Historically, if you wanted to change a street name or amenity label, you had to go through support. Now you can do it yourself. 

This new self-service tool lets your team make simple edits to your community map directly in LotVue without submitting a ticket. 

Why it matters: Speeds up your workflow. Reduces support back-and-forth. Keeps your site up to date. 

Who benefits: Ops and marketing teams who want to move fast. 

Why these updates matter right now 

Most builder websites get decent traffic. But if buyers can’t find what they’re looking for, they bounce. Or worse, they move on to a builder with a better online experience. 

This update is about keeping that traffic engaged, helping buyers feel confident, and giving your team more tools to convert visitors into serious leads.
