To facilitate our in-depth analyses, NAHB constructed several unique and useful indices based on exclusive NAHB surveys. For example, the NAHB-Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) measures the strength of the single-family housing market each month through surveys of NAHB members. The NAHB-Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index (HOI) measures home affordability of various metropolitan areas across the nation. NAHB also collects data from professional remodelers for the NAHB Remodeling Market Index (RMI) and from multifamily builders and property owners for the NAHB Multifamily Market Index (MMI).
