The problem
New homeowner lists are either late or vague.
New owners pick insurers, contractors, and agents fast. A list that's two months old reaches them after the decisions.
A name and address can't tell you whether the home is 4 or 40 years old, which changes what they'll need.

Guide
What a new homeowner list is, and why the first 90 days matter
A new homeowner list is a set of people who recently bought a home. The most reliable version is built from recorded deeds: when a sale closes, the deed is recorded with the county, naming the buyer as the new owner. That's different from a "new mover" list built from change-of-address data, which includes renters and anyone else who moved. If your offer is for homeowners, start from deeds.
The first few months after a purchase are when new owners make most of their household decisions. They choose an insurance agent, find a plumber and an HVAC company, plan their first projects, and decide which local businesses to trust. Reaching them while those choices are open is far more effective than reaching them a year later, when habits are set.
The home's details tell you what they'll need. A buyer of a 1990s home is likely facing an older roof, water heater, and HVAC system. A buyer of a new build may need landscaping, window treatments, and a fence. Purchase price hints at budget. Filtering by year built and price turns one broad list into several focused campaigns with different messages.
For real estate agents, new homeowners are long-term relationships. Welcoming every new buyer in your farm, with a neighborhood guide, local recommendations, or a home value update a year later, makes you the agent they think of when they eventually sell or refer a friend. Pair the welcome with just sold cards to the street around each sale, and the neighborhood starts to recognize your name.
Recording delays vary by county, from a few days to several weeks, so pull your list on a regular schedule and keep each mailing to sales from the most recent window. An automation that pulls last month's buyers on the first of each month keeps the list fresh without any manual work.

FAQ

How do I get a list of new homeowners in my area?
Search a zip or area in Spur for homes sold in the last 30, 60, or 90 days and filter to owner-occupied. Each record comes from a recorded sale.
What's the difference between a new homeowner and new mover list?
New homeowner lists come from recorded deeds, so everyone on them owns the home. New mover lists come from change-of-address data and include renters.

As soon as the county records the deed, which ranges from a few days to several weeks depending on the county.
When should I mail new homeowners?
Within the first 30 to 60 days, while they're still choosing service providers. A monthly automated pull makes that easy.
