DESCRIPTION
Above the fold was a large image of a modern home in the background. In front of it was a text that said “Find a home in a neighborhood you love” above a search box. The search box had three options I could select from the left side of it: for sale, for rent, sold. I noticed the option “sold” was unique to this niche. There was no default location preselected for me in the search box, but there was default semi-translucent text found within it already that hinted at the types of terms I should type: place, neighborhood, school, or agent. I also thought it was original of homes.com to offer the chance to browse by agent. I clicked on these two original options (sold and agent). When I selected sold, the search box remained the same, as did the page. There was no way for me to manually browse for agents without knowing their names, i.e., I had to type the name of an agent and then search for them. Beneath the pictured background was an informational section that said I could join 100 million other buyers, explore great neighborhoods, find highly rated schools, discover condos, and find the best agent for you.

Is homes.com Safe?
Here, I analyzed homes.com for malware and malicious content to check if it was legit or a scam:
Sucuri says homes.com is a medium security risk.
Sucuri says homes.com is a medium security risk because the scan failed due to Timeout reached (warning-connection/timeout) on the URL http://homes.com/.
Unmask Parasites says homes.com is clean.

In conclusion, Sucuri says homes.com omes.com is a medium security risk because of Timeout reached on the URL http://homes.com/. Unmask Parasites says homes.com is clean of parasites. VirusTotal and Sucuri say homes.com isn’t malicious or blacklisted. OVERALL GRADE: Relatively Safe.
