Builders Update, a leading provider of new construction inventory data in North America, has joined the GDX – Global Data Exchange network, marking a significant step in making new construction listings accessible to international real estate markets. The partnership, announced June 29, 2026, allows builders to showcase their inventory to a global audience of real estate professionals, MLSs, and investors through a federated, standards-based platform.
Led by CEO Bill Gaul, Builders Update has established itself as a key player in transforming how builder data is shared across the real estate ecosystem. Gaul also chairs the RESO Data Dictionary New Construction Subcommittee, contributing to industry standards that ensure reliable and consistent data exchange. By joining GDX, Builders Update connects its inventory to an international network built on RESO standards, giving builders greater global visibility while maintaining data ownership, local governance, and market autonomy.
“Builders Update is the only new construction source in the GDX network, and that’s significant. Builders are realizing there is one place to go if they want exposure not only in the US but worldwide. Through GDX, we’re able to connect that inventory to an international audience – and we’ve already converted our platform to nine languages and nine currencies to make that a reality,” Gaul stated.
The implications of this move are substantial for the new construction sector. Historically, new construction listings have been primarily marketed domestically, limiting exposure to potential international buyers and investors. With Builders Update now integrated into GDX, builders can tap into cross-border demand, potentially accelerating sales and attracting foreign investment. The federated model ensures that data remains under the control of the source, addressing concerns about data sovereignty and local market rules.
GDX – Global Data Exchange is a neutral, standards-based network connecting MLS organizations, brokerages, and real estate technology providers worldwide. Built on the RESO Web API and RESO Data Dictionary, it enables secure cross-border exchange of public listing data while preserving local governance. For Builders Update, membership provides standards-based interoperability with global MLS markets and new opportunities for cross-border collaboration and referrals.
This development is important because it breaks down geographical barriers in real estate, offering builders a streamlined path to international exposure without sacrificing control. As global real estate investment continues to grow, platforms like GDX that facilitate secure, standardized data exchange become increasingly critical. Builders Update’s move signals a shift toward a more interconnected global new construction market, where data flows freely but ownership remains local.
