Client testimonials

The New Home Trends Institute is an incredibly valuable resource for the Strategic Operations and Product teams at Meritage Homes. NHTI provides us with check-ins to add additional commentary and analysis to their monthly reports that then help shape our internal research. We also have their library of years' worth of trending data that we reference for our own reports to help paint a fuller picture. Their data quality and consistency is the best in the industry by far. In addition, we love working with Maegan and Jenni, among other members of the NHTI team - they are responsive, insightful, professional, and friendly. Our research efforts are stronger because of the NHTI team at John Burns.

NHTI has become an indispensable resource for us, providing rich insights that we utilize across the company to evaluate community designs. The feedback from their reports has been incredibly valuable. The insights and surveys from NHTI have given us a deeper understanding of buyer preferences and current trends. This has been instrumental in validating several decisions we have made, including increasing deck sizes, removing dining room spaces, and evaluating our home options for buyers.

 

For builders who strive to stay ahead of the curve and rely on data-driven decisions, the reports from NHTI are an excellent resource. They significantly enhance our efforts at the beginning of our community design process, ensuring that we are aligned with the latest market trends and buyer expectations.
