Avid Ratings on Thursday announced the winners of the 17th Annual Avid Awards among home builders based on customer home-buying experience surveys.
Award winners are chosen based on results received from some of the largest publicly traded NYSE/NASDAQ builders, North America’s largest private builders, and hundreds of small volume and custom builders from coast to coast.

Each award-winning builder must score at or above the top 25th percentile in the United States to be recognized with an Avid Award.
