Home Building Industry KPI Terms & Definitions

Home
Home is defined as a single-family residence and includes attached and detached single-family residential homes.

Absorption Rate/Contracts Per Community
Absorption rate is the number of net new home orders divided by average sales locations. In the U.K., contracts per community are also known as sales per site.

Backlog
Backlog consists of homes sold under sales contracts not yet delivered to customers. U.K. home builders use the term “order book” instead of backlog.

Homes Closed (homes delivered)
Homes closed, or homes delivered, represents the homes delivered to the customers since the project opened.

Average Selling Price
Average selling price of the homes delivered, calculated as revenue divided by homes delivered.

Average Backlog Price
Average backlog price is derived using backlog volume divided by backlog value.

Average Order Price
Average order price using net new orders divided by order value

Backlog Conversion Rate
Backlog conversion rate represents the number of homes delivered/closed in a given period divided by the backlog at the beginning of the period. The majority of analysts use volume as the base when computing the backlog conversion rate. Alternatively, this can be calculated as realized revenue divided by the backlog.

Cancellation Rate
Cancellation rate of booked homes for the period can be derived as number of canceled units by gross orders.

Net New Orders
Net new orders consist of homes sold under sales contracts minus the cancellation of homes booked for the period. U.K. home builders use the term “reservations” instead of net new orders.

Communities/Sites
A community is a single development in which new homes are constructed as part of an integrated plan. Community count denotes the number of communities that have opened for home sales. In the U.K., home builders use the term “sites” rather than communities.

Housing Associations
Housing associations in England are independent societies, bodies of trustees or companies established to provide low-cost social housing on a non-profit-making basis.

Private Housing
The private housing sector or non-social housing sector (i.e., owner-occupied household space and those rented privately), including those that go with a job or business and those not owned by housing associations

Affordable/Social Housing
Affordable housing is social rented, affordable rented and intermediate housing for eligible households, which is determined by local incomes and local house prices. Local authorities and private registered providers own social rented housing.
