There are countless niche social networks out there these days with some finding more success than others. One that has done a great job attracting users and adding value to the industry it serves is Houzz.

Houzz is an online community, directory and marketplace for all things home design. Whether you are building, remodeling, redecorating or just dreaming, Houzz offers a great deal of assistance and inspiration.

There has been quite a bit of buzz about Houzz recently, so I set out to find out just how big they’ve become. For a niche network, the numbers are very impressive. Here are a few of the more interesting Houzz statistics I was able to dig up. As always, I will be updating this post semi-regularly, so be sure to check back in the future for new stats.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. Many of these Houzz statistics come from the company’s own financial filings, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
