I hope everyone is having an enjoyable evening. I want to take a few minutes of your time to give you our annual update on consolidation in the home building industry. Every time I come to this event, I can’t help but think back to my earliest Builder 100 events. When I started at Builder in 1995, the top 100 builders had a meager 12 percent market share. It was incredible that an industry could be so large and so thoroughly fragmented. The biggest builder built around 13,000 homes, for a 1 percent market share. Most built about a third of the homes they do today. Very few builders built in more than a couple states. We have much bigger companies leading the field today. But they took quite a set-back in the last year. Bankruptcy ripped through the industry—six companies in last year’s Builder 100 went under. We had reports of foreclosures, over building, a speculative bubble, credit tightening.
