What PostHousing.com does

PostHousing.com, operated by Post Housing Corporation, is a private web-based marketplace that connects U.S. military personnel and their families with on-base and off-base housing, base directory information, BAH rates, and local businesses across more than 100 U.S. military installations spanning all service branches — Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, Joint Bases, and Space Force. The platform organizes its content by branch and installation via dedicated pages and subdomain structures, enabling users to filter property listings by distance to base, price, beds, and baths, and to access resources covering gate schedules, chaplains, commissaries, hospitals, educational services, and PCS lodging. The company is headquartered at 9323 Martin Way East, Suite 112, Olympia, Washington, and operates as a self-serve consumer platform supplemented by phone support (800-520-0549, M-F 8-5 PST).

The underlying technology is a conventional web-based directory and marketplace platform with search filtering, user listing management, a business advertising interface with YouTube video embedding, and map integration. The company is not a mobile app and does not appear in iOS or Android app stores. It is not an official Department of Defense website but operates commercially alongside government housing resources.

PostHousing.com monetizes through two paid channels: a one-time $15 fee per property listing (active for 90 days, extendable in free 30-day increments) and an annual $449 business advertising subscription that provides local military-friendly businesses with customizable listings including logo, photos, military specials, YouTube video, and map placement. Consumer access to housing search and base information is free. Go-to-market relies primarily on organic search visibility during high-intent PCS relocation moments, supplemented by phone-assisted sales for business advertisers. The company is BBB accredited under Western Washington as a Relocation Service provider.

Core offering

PostHousing.com is an online marketplace and information portal that serves U.S. military service members (Active Duty, National Guard, and Reserve) and their families with off-base housing rentals and for-sale properties, a directory of 100+ military installations, BAH rate references, and a directory of military-friendly local businesses. The platform accepts self-serve property postings and paid business advertising to support its niche audience of DoD personnel conducting PCS moves and day-to-day housing searches.

Product overview

PostHousing.com is a single-platform web portal offering military housing and relocation information services for U.S. military personnel. The platform consists of a core housing portal that aggregates listings, base directories, and relocation resources, supplemented by two paid advertising modules: a business advertising service ($449/year) for military-friendly businesses to gain visibility, and a property listing service ($15/posting) for individuals to advertise homes for rent or sale near military installations.

Broad incumbents

• Zillow: The largest U.S. residential real estate marketplace. Competes for military housing search demand via general-purpose home search, and has added military-aware filters (VA loans, base proximity) that erode the differentiation of dedicated military portals.
• Trulia: Real estate marketplace owned by Zillow Group that emphasizes neighborhood-level insights. Comparable as a broad-based property search destination that military families use as an alternative to niche portals like PostHousing.com.
• Realtor.com: Major U.S. real estate listings portal operated by Move, Inc., with comprehensive MLS-backed inventory. Competes for the same property-search intent that drives PostHousing.com's audience, especially for for-sale properties near bases.
• Apartments.com: Large-scale rental marketplace (owned by CoStar Group) that increasingly serves military renters searching for off-base housing. Comparable because it competes for the same rental-search intent during PCS moves, but operates as a broad rental portal rather than a military-specialist.

Direct peers

• Homes.mil: The official U.S. Department of Defense housing referral service for military personnel relocating to new duty stations. Directly competes with PostHousing.com on the same use case (housing search for PCS moves) but with official government endorsement and broader MLS-backed listing inventory.
• AHRN.com (Military Homesearch): Military-focused housing marketplace now operated under Military Homesearch, owned by Hunt Companies (a major military housing operator). Competes head-to-head with PostHousing.com as a niche military housing portal but with deeper MLS integration and corporate backing.
• MilitaryByOwner: Online marketplace where military members can buy, sell, and rent homes near installations. Closest direct competitor to PostHousing.com in the self-post military property listing model, serving the same PCS-driven customer base with similar listing fees.

Others

• Yelp: Local business directory and advertising platform. Comparable as a competitor for the $449/year business advertising spend PostHousing.com sells to local military-friendly businesses, since Yelp offers an alternative local advertising channel targeting the same customer intent.

Emerging players

• Facebook Marketplace: Free, massive-scale peer-to-peer marketplace embedded in Facebook. Directly competes with PostHousing.com's $15 property listing offering by giving military users a zero-cost way to list homes for rent or sale, often within base-specific groups.
• Doorsteps (Move.com): Relocation-focused real estate portal with content and tools aimed at people moving between cities. Comparable to PostHousing.com because it targets the same relocation-intent audience (which overlaps heavily with PCS-driven military moves), though without the military specialization.
