For a fee, NAHB produces customized studies that analyze the local (metro, county not part of a metropolitan area or state) impact of building homes in a specific city, county, metropolitan area, or state. The form below shows most of the customer provided information NAHB economists need to run the customized models and produce a study.

Turnaround time is two weeks after the customer agrees to pay the fee and provides the input information in its final form. Finalizing the inputs typically causes some delay.

If you submit the electronic form, NAHB Housing Policy Economist, Na Zhao will contact you about the fee and any questionable items on form. You may find it easier to contact Na before attempting to fill out the form: 1.800.368.5242 extension 8398, [email protected].
