2010 Market Projections & Ranking Report
As an expansion of BuilderOnline's Healthiest Housing Markets article, Hanley Wood Market Intelligence and Builder have created the Builder Market Health Report which represents a broadened ranking that covers the largest 200 housing markets across the U.S. These 200 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) are ranked based on an index that measures the key economic variables that drive home sales, including unemployment, home price appreciation, job growth, median income growth and household growth. The index enables visibility into the healthiest markets for housing.
The Builder Market Health Report provides an overview of the key economic variables that explain housing market health, a detailed explanation of the model behind the ranking, a listing of the MSAs by their ranking, a snapshot of the year-over-year percent change for each market, a heat map illustrating the relative market health conditions, and a one page snapshot of each market's recent trends with forecasted expectations for each variable.
