ABOUT HRC
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Field Research is Essential?
Housing is an asset class that has continuous demand yet is cyclical. It is highly visible yet largely misunderstood. There are a lot of “talking heads” and “experts”, yet there is a lot of bad research coverage because no one spends time in the field. Seeing things first hand makes all the difference in the world. Everyone will willingly share good news but no one will volunteer the bad news until it is too late.
Why HRC?
We have demonstrated an ability to pick up on inflection points and new trends earlier than most market participants, and have made recommendations that have consistently outperformed over the last decade. It’s what we know. It’s what we do. It’s what we live and breathe every day!
What we do?
Housing Research Center is focused only on US homebuilders, Howard Hughes, and American Homes 4 Rent. We cover one industry in-depth rather than 50 stocks across many sectors with little depth.
What we do,
We are HRC
We combine our field work with basic logic, human psychology, sound economic theory and personal experience.
We believe that our clients are best served by an independent point of view that is not clouded or influenced by the well-known conflicts of interest inherent in working for an investment bank whose primary clients are ultimately the companies themselves and not the investors.
