Know Buyers, Know Sales Leveraging the Power of Understanding New Home Buyers Housing market research should be focused on these three critical actions:
Know your buyer Know your market Know your competition Sadly, traditional research approaches ignore the buyer and only focus on the market and competition, thus only representing context and the supply. Without demand, the story is incomplete.
The right way to look at demand is to understand what types of households live in an area and what types of households are forecasted to be added. By looking at households by segment, you can get a real picture of demographics, home ownership rates, and lifestyle preferences that will determine:
optimal product offerings how to design your product how to reach potential buyers Stop guessing about potential gaps in the market—find them by comparing demonstrated demand (i.e. – what sold last year) with estimated demand and estimated demand by supply. An early stage opportunity can be analyzed with quantitative information about demand.
Use the optimal consumer group's rich profile to guide the design of the community, plans, standard features and options to offer. Leverage the lifestyle information to design the collateral, the model homes, and the optimal promotional strategy.
