Proprietary Indices

We analyze all the major metropolitan statistical areas  and conduct various proprietary surveys in the United States each month and have developed the following proprietary indices:

.

	Burns Housing Cycle Risk Index™ The Burns Housing Cycle Risk Index™ (HCRI), measures the underlying market risk associated with market fundamentals (demand, supply, and affordability) and has proven to be a very good single metric for market risk.
	Burns Home Value Index™ The Burns Home Value Index™ (BHVI) measures home value trends for all homes (new and resale) in 133 markets, allowing us to report on and forecast price appreciation without the noise of shifts in the mix of homes selling, as well as other issues.
	Burns Intrinsic Home Value Index™ The Burns Intrinsic Value Index™ (BIHVI) identifies overpriced and underpriced markets by showing what prices should be under normal conditions. Actual prices deviate significantly, highlighting investment risk and creating investment opportunities.
	Burns Affordability Index™ The Burns Affordability Index™ (BAI) measures affordability compared to each market’s historical average, allowing for comparison across geographies and over time.
	Single-Family Rental Market Index The Single-Family Rental Market Index (SFRMI), which is based on surveys of the owner-operators of more than 200k single-family rental homes, reflects the latest perspectives from within the industry on the state of the SFR market.
	Burns Resale Housing Market Index The Burns Resale Housing Market Index (RHMI) is based on a proprietary monthly survey of real estate agents nationally.
	Fix and Flip Market Index The Burns + Flatiron +Sundae Fix and Flip Market Index (FFMI) gauges the pulse of the fix-and-flip market in the US. The FFMI is based on a proprietary monthly survey of fix-and-flippers nationally.
	Kitchen and Bath Market Index Conducted jointly by the National Kitchen & Bath Association and John Burns Real Estate Consulting, the Kitchen and Bath Market Index (KBMI) examines the current kitchen and bath industry demand, future demand expectations, and issues and challenges the industry professionals are facing in their businesses.
	US Remodeler Index Created in collaboration with Qualified Remodeler magazine, the US Remodeler Index (USRI) measures remodeler sentiment for current activities, future or near-term activities, as well as consumer demand or ‘hotness.’
	Structural Building Components Index This quarterly index is the result of a unique partnership between the Structural Building Components Association (SBCA) and John Burns Real Estate Consulting. The Structural Building Components Index (SBCI) surveys key prefab component manufacturers around the country to measure the health of the structural building components industry in the US.
