Lifestory Research Announces 2023 America's Most Trusted Home Builder Study Findings

Taylor Morrison Homes, Skyline Homes, and Trilogy by Shea Homes Rank Highest in Trust Among Home Buyers

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Changes in the housing market have impacted home buyer sentiment in a trend toward waning customer trust among the nation's largest home builders.  According to the Lifestory Research 2023 America's Most Trusted® Study released today, trust has decreased across the home-building industry following an unprecedented increase in trust during the pandemic.

"With limited housing inventory and price escalation, home buyers moderated their trust among builders in the new home industry. However, while market dynamics influenced how people viewed the sector, the years of brand-building among the most trusted builders paid dividends.  As a result, we saw home buyers hold tight in their trust among the most trusted home builders," said Eric Snider, President and Chief Research Officer of Lifestory Research.

America's Most Trusted® Home Builder

For the eighth consecutive year, Taylor Morrison Homes has been recognized as America's Most Trusted® Home Builder by home buyers. Based on a Net Trust Quotient Score of 118.4, Taylor Morrison had the highest trust rating in the 2023 study.

In the Lifestory Research 2023 America's Most Trusted® Study, 54,208 customers shopping for a new home were surveyed and asked their opinions of the nation's largest home builders. Home builders included in the national ranking included Taylor Morrison, Ashton Woods, LGI Homes, TriPointe Homes, Dream Finders, Stanley Martin, Mattamy Homes, Toll Brothers, K. Hovnanian, David Weekley, Century Communities, Richmond American, MI Homes, Meritage Homes, DR Horton, Pulte Homes, Beazer Homes, Ryan Homes, Lennar, and KB Home.
