This report ranks markets by builder activity, which serves as a proxy for housing demand. Here is how to interpret the data:
- High community count means builders are committed to the area with multiple projects, not just testing the waters.
- Multiple builders means independent market validation. Each builder did their own research and reached the same conclusion.
- Affordable markets with builder presence can represent early-stage opportunities before prices rise.
