Officially there are 21 companies listed on the NYSE, even though there are more national home builders than that. A company like Taylor Morrison is an international home builder, and they’re not one of the homes on the list below.
This list isn’t comprehensive, but it does list 12 national home builders and their worth as of June 4th, 2010. It’s interesting to note that all except the top company lost net worth in the last year, but the market is starting to recover somewhat for these home builders, since they diversify and thus have some states where things are good and others where things aren’t going as well. What it does, however, is gives a listing that should be relatively easy to track from this date, through the NYSE. After all, if the stock prices of these companies goes up, then the housing industry overall should be just fine. If not… well, we’ll deal with that at a later time.
