Meritage Homes’ Move-In-Ready Strategy Is Winning Realtors and Buyers Alike!

Meritage Homes presented its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results, showcasing a performance in a challenging economic environment marked by affordability issues and buyer uncertainties. The report highlighted key aspects of the company’s operational and financial status, indicating areas of both resilience and difficulty amid the current housing market conditions. During the fourth quarter, Meritage Homes saw sales orders of 3,224 units, slightly reflecting the seasonal downturn and buyer hesitancy in a high-interest rate environment. The company reported home closing revenue of $1.4 billion, which contributed to an adjusted gross margin of 19.3%, aligning with prior guidance. Meritage experienced a sales volume stagnation with 14,650 homes closed in 2025, maintaining a consistent closing pace compared to the previous year despite market headwinds like elevated mortgage rates and economic uncertainties. This was counterbalanced by a strategic increase of 15% in community count, ending the year with 336 communities.
