Who Are NAHB’s Builder Members? – Eye On Housing

No Comments


The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) conducts an annual census to better understand the composition and characteristics of its members.  In 2025, 35% of NAHB’s membership was comprised of builder members—single-family and multifamily builders, residential and commercial remodelers, commercial builders, land developers, and manufacturers of modular/panelized/log homes.  The remaining 65% were associate members—those involved in support industries and professions, such as trade contractors, manufacturers, retailers/distributors, designers, and architects.

Among builder members, 62% are single-family home builders, 21% are residential remodelers, 5% each are commercial builders, land developers, and multifamily builders, and 1% each are commercial remodelers and manufacturers of modular/panelized/log homes.

Number of Housing Starts in 2025

The typical NAHB builder member is not a large company, but rather a small business. Builder members started a median of five housing units in 2025. That figure has fluctuated narrowly between five and six units since 2013. A plurality of 21% started two or three homes, 10% started one, 15% started four or five, 13% started six to ten, 13% started 11 to 25, 11% started 26 to 99, 8% started 100 to 499, and 3% started 500 homes or more.  About 7% did not start any homes at all in 2025.

Median Revenue of Builder Members in 2025

Most builders earned less than $5 million in total revenue in 2025: 14% reported a dollar volume of less than $500,000, 11% reported between $500,000 and $999,999, 38% (the plurality) between $1.0 and $4.9 million, 14% between $5.0 and $9.9 million, 7% between $10.0 million and $14.9 million, 10% between $15.0 million and $45.0 million, and 7% reported their dollar volume at more than $45.0 million. The median revenue remained unchanged from the previous year, at $3.7 million.  For comparison, the Small Business Administration’s size standards classify residential builders and remodelers as small if they have average annual receipts of $45.0 million or less ($34.0 million or less for land developers).

Median Number of Employees in 2025

The typical builder member had six employees on payroll in 2025, unchanged since 2023.  Due to their status as small businesses and extensive use of subcontractors, many builders carry relatively few employees on their payrolls.

45% of Associate Members are Subcontracting/Specialty Trade Contractors

No Comments


Every year since 2008, the NAHB has conducted a member census in order to better understand the composition and characteristics of the people who belong to its organization.  Similar to a previous post about builder members, NAHB conducted a related analysis of its associate members.  In 2023, 65% of NAHB’s members were associate members—those involved in a wide range of support industries and professions including, among others, trade contractors, manufacturers, retailers/distributors, designers, and architects.

Of the 69,645 associate members, 45% are primarily subcontractor/specialty trade contractors, 11% have a professional specialty, 10% are retail dealerships or distributorships, 8% are in financial services, 5% are wholesale dealerships or distributorships, and 17% have some other type of primary activity (Exhibit 1).

In 2023, associate members had a median of 12 employees on payroll, which ties an all-time high set in 2022.  Twenty-two percent of associate members had 1-4 employees, 20% had 5 to 9, 37% had 10 to 49, and 20% had 50 or more employees.  Two percent had no payroll at all.

The median revenue of NAHB associate members was $3.0 million in 2023, an increase from $2.8 million in 2022 and the highest in the 16-year history of the Census (Exhibit 2).

In 2023, the median age of NAHB associate members was 56 which is unchanged from 2022.  Four percent of associate members were less than 35 years old, 15% were 35 to 44, 26% were 45 to 54, 34% were 55 to 64, and 21% were 65 or older.  The share of associate members who identify as female snapped a string of six consecutive annual increases, falling 2 percentage points to 24% from an all-time survey high of 26% in 2022.

National Association of Realtors® Reminds Members and Consumers of Real Estate Practice

No Comments


CHICAGO (August 1, 2024) – The National Association of Realtors® reminds members, real estate professionals, and consumers that on August 17, 2024 the practice changes following NAR’s Settlement Agreement that would resolve claims brought on behalf of home sellers related to broker commissions will be implemented across the country.

NAR recommends all MLSs implement practice changes by August 17. Realtor® MLSs (those owned exclusively by one or more Realtor® Associations) must implement the changes by this date to remain in compliance with NAR policy.

Under the settlement, the following practice changes will take effect:

Offers of compensation will be prohibited on Multiple Listing Services (MLSs). Offers of compensation will continue to be an option consumers can pursue off-MLS through negotiation and consultation with real estate professionals. Offers of compensation help make homeownership and the benefits of professional representation more accessible to buyers—especially first-time homebuyers—increase homeownership opportunities for historically underserved groups, and benefit sellers by expanding the potential buyer pool and ensuring they receive the best offer possible for their property.
Agents working with a buyer must enter into a written buyer agreement before touring a home. The practice changes do not require an agency agreement or dictate any type of relationship. NAR encourages all members to address form changes and prepare to educate real estate professionals and consumers about revised forms as soon as possible ahead of August 17. NAR policy does not dictate terms of buyer agreements, but NAR has created resources to assist with implementation of the settlement terms—such as tips on clarity and emphasizing consumer choice and a “Written Buyer Agreements 101” resource.

“NAR members are dedicated, intelligent, and highly adaptable experts in their fields—that’s why Realtors® are such an integral part of the homebuying and selling process,” said Kevin Sears, President of NAR. “These changes help to further empower consumers with clarity and choice when buying and selling a home. As the August 17 practice change implementation date approaches, I am confident in our members’ abilities to prepare for and embrace this evolution of our industry and help to guide consumers in the new landscape.”

Consumers can find additional information on what these changes mean for their homebuying and selling experiences in NAR’s buyers and sellers guides. For NAR members, the practice changes are outlined in detail here, and detailed information is available in NAR’s FAQ. Please visit facts.realtor for the latest updates on the settlement and practice changes.
