Weekly real-time homebuilder absorption panel for Western markets

Weekly real-time homebuilder absorption panel for Western markets (California, Arizona, Nevada), survey-enumerated directly from builder communities and maintained continuously back to 2000: buyer traffic counts, new orders, gross and net orders, cancellations and cancellation rate, absorption per community, plus a broader monthly Homebuilding Survey covering spec-versus-built-to-order mix, pricing and incentives, and forward financial projections. The panel's own validation is disclosed — order and absorption metrics correlate above 90% with publicly reported builder results — which is a calibration series in itself.

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular weekly and monthly panel time series delivered through a gated client data portal plus subscription research reports (PDF/narrative) with a request-access commercial motion; a data-overview product line sits alongside the research library, indicating structured extract delivery in addition to reports
Volume: Est. weekly observations for several hundred tracked communities across California, Arizona and Nevada, each producing traffic, gross order, net order and cancellation records — on the order of 15,000-25,000 community-week observations per year — plus a monthly national survey series, and the full back-file of weekly releases archived on the site from 2024 through 2026 with panel history to 2000
Users: Est. low hundreds of institutional client seats — access is by application ('Request Access') rather than self-serve, and the firm runs roughly 55 staff at about $9M revenue on the research/data side, implying a concentrated base of funds, builders, lenders and banks (inferred from headcount and revenue plus the gated-access model)
History: 26 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active and expanding in scope — weekly Western Markets releases continue through late 2026, the firm has added adjacent lines (investment banking, LIHTC, corporate access, an annual Housing Summit) and now operates inside a NYSE-listed parent, indicating a mature franchise being broadened rather than a product in decline
Launched: est. 1986-2000 — the weekly Western Markets absorption panel is documented as having data dating back to 2000, and the firm is founder-led with a co-founder at executive level, indicating a founding well before that panel start; the precise incorporation year is not stated on this page
