This is the 42nd year Professional Builder has done the Annual Report on Housing's Giants." This year, as you can imagine, we expect massive changes. We're encouraging everyone to complete a form, which you can download here.

Traditionally, we've listed the 400 largest home builders in the United States. Last year (which reports 2007 numbers) the smallest of those builders had just over 80 closes. I expect we'll see a much smaller number at the bottom of the list. In fact, I won't be surprised if we don't even reach the 400 number.

Either way, it's going to be an interesting report. Please go to www.probuilder.com/giant400 and complete the survey today. Chances are you'll make the list.
