                          Builders Online - Complete List And 2005 Rankings of Home Builders

                      This is a Matrix on the number of Communities being offerred by the Top Twenty 
                  Public Home Builders, and several Other Builders I was able to find, who had 5 or 
                  more open communities in The Major Metros / Markets in Jan 2007.

                      Houston and Dallas surprised me a little, by being in the top. But Texas did add
                  add a good 579K new residents in 2006. That is just shy of the combined 599K that
                  Arizona, California and Nevada added in 2006.
