Support

You can have as many team members on your membership as you want. If you would like to add or remove anyone, email Saher Naimi, our Senior Client Services Specialist, at snaimi@jbrec.com.

All members of NHTI that are on our distribution list will receive a direct link via email to register for all virtual events.

All previous research and reports, events, and webinar recordings published by NHTI are archived on our blog.

Thought Leader NHTI members have the ability to submit questions and topics for consideration to the NHTI team. Questions can be incorporated into surveys if approved and relevant to the topics being researched. If you would like consumer or design research specifically curated for your company, please contact Deana Vidal, Senior Manager of Trend Consulting, at dvidal@jbrec.com for more details about a custom consulting project.

Professionals and industry leaders with 10+ years of experience who work at an NHTI member company have the opportunity to apply to join a council. Council members are selected each year to create well-balanced councils and acceptance is not guaranteed.

The New Home Trends Summit is an annual conference that includes a mix of keynote speakers, panels, and roundtables. The conference also includes an optional half-day tour of a prominent master-planned community. An invite to the summit is included in your New Home Trends Institute membership, but there is an extra fee to attend (unless you are a Thought Leader member, which includes one ticket per year). Each year we select a new location around the U.S. for the New Home Trends Summit.

Yes. As part of your NHTI membership, you have access to all of the John Burns Research and Consulting team. Please contact Jenni Nichols, Vice President of DesignLens, at jnichols@jbrec.com if you’d like an introduction or additional help.

There are multiple ways to stay up to speed on all the insights you have access to – most are via email, but you can also connect with us on LinkedIn.

• Every week, John Burns Research and Consulting delivers analysis to over 30,000 subscribers with our Building Market Intelligence™ (BMI) newsletter, The Light.
• Each month, we distribute Survey Insights Reports via email.
• Once a month, you’ll receive an edition of DesignLens.
• Email invites for upcoming events are also sent regularly.

Each edition includes about eight projects: six residential, for-sale collections (a mix of attached and detached offerings), one master-planned community, and one historic community. Some editions can include up to ten projects with two additional collections. Each edition has a mix of product from attached townhomes or stacked flats to detached collections with offerings for first-time buyers, move up, and move down. Some editions will also include age-qualified master plans or collections.

Project recommendations come from a variety of sources, from in-house to outside the company. In-house sources include the NHTI team’s own scouting, as well as recommendations from local JBREC market experts. External sources include most of the major building industry awards, as well as recommendations from architects, builders, developers, and designers from around the country. All recommendations are reviewed and the most DesignLens-worthy are photographed and published (with the permission of the builder or developer).

We do not track lot widths, only average lot sizes in square feet. You can either search by the square footage you are looking for or try searching by home width. With an assumed 5-foot setback on each side, a 50-foot lot would have a 40-foot home on it, so you could search 40-foot-wide floor plans to find what you are looking for. Search floor plans under the floor plan tab on the project search page.

We love recommendations. Please contact Jenni Nichols at jnichols@jbrec.com with any suggestions.

Yes, you can save projects while logged into the website. However, there is no way to share them with other website users within the site. You can save the images you like and download them to share.
