Online tools simplify and enhance the homebuying journey by making it easier to explore, personalize and purchase a new home from practically anywhere. Buyers can take immersive 360° virtual tours to view floor plans and dimensions, and even measure spaces for furniture. Interactive floor plans allow personalization of available structural options, while digital visualization tools let you preview interior finishes for flooring, cabinets and countertops.

Homebuyers can browse detailed community maps to select homesites based on location, pricing and availability. Exterior styles and design choices can also be explored online, and the KB Home Online Design Studio lets you create a personalized Wish List before you meet with a design consultant.

Enjoy the convenience of a virtual or in-person tour and finish contracts electronically. The KB Home app and MyKB profile further streamline the homebuying experience by tracking progress, communicating with your team, and saving favorites.

How do online tools make homebuying easier?

Online tools allow you to search, tour, personalize and purchase a home from anywhere, making the process more convenient, flexible and efficient.

Can I tour a home online?

Yes. Most of our models have 360° virtual tours that let you explore a home room by room, view the floor plan, and even measure spaces for furniture and décor.

How can I personalize my home online?

Interactive floor plans let you explore floor plan options, while digital tools allow you to visualize furniture placement and design choices. For instance, if you want to see how a king bed will fit in the primary bedroom or view a sofa in the great room, it's all possible!

When you build a new home with us, you can personalize with structural options where available, and our interactive floor plan feature offers a first glimpse at different configurations. Just click on a specific choice, like a covered patio, vaulted ceiling or kitchen island to see how it transforms the floor plan. Just remember, any structural changes need to be confirmed before construction starts, and selection varies per floor plan and community.

Can I choose my homesite online?

Yes. You can view detailed community maps that show homesite locations, pricing, availability and nearby on-site amenities like parks or pools.

How do I choose design finishes online?

You can preview flooring, cabinets and countertops using visualization tools — and create your personalized Wish List at our Online Design Studio.

Can I schedule a tour remotely?

Yes. You can request either an in-person visit or a live video tour guided by a KB Home sales counselor.

Do I have the ability to complete the purchase online?

When it comes to closing escrow on your new KB home, we can also handle this exciting step online. If for some reason you can't be at the sales office or you'd just prefer to finalize the documents remotely, your sales counselor will work with you to sign the contract electronically.

What tools help me stay organized during the process?

To make your experience as fun and easy as possible, we built the KB Home App, your convenient go-to homebuying resource! This digital portal will guide you from shopping and purchasing to designing, building, and owning.

On the KB Home app you’ll automatically get access to your MyKB account and find lots of amazing resources in one convenient place. You can track progress, communicate with your team, save your favorite communities and homes, and access important documents all in one place.

As you navigate these online tools, it's a good idea to create a MyKB profile — just click on any heart icon to get started.
