KB Home commemorates National Homeownership Month by revealing new survey results and supporting the next generation of homebuyers with resources and education.
In honor of National Homeownership Month, KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the largest and most trusted homebuilders in the U.S., today revealed the results of a new survey fielded by The Harris Poll to better understand homeownership perceptions and homebuying trends. The survey confirmed that 4 in 5 American adults believe owning a home is an essential milestone in life, but the findings also revealed that many are discouraged and lack an understanding about the homebuying process.

National Homeownership Month is a month-long event recognized by the federal government and dedicated to the power of owning a home, planting roots in a community, building equity and passing down generational wealth. KB Home is celebrating the month with in-market events and virtual content to educate and support future homebuyers. The company will be hosting over 25 special Homebuying 101 events across the country. The KB team will cover a range of topics, including the benefits of owning versus renting, the advantages of new construction versus used homes, and the homebuying process. The team will also discuss financing a new home, from determining how much a buyer can afford to finding the best and most suitable mortgage program for a buyer’s unique needs. Additionally, the company will be providing answers to frequently asked questions about homeownership across all of its social channels.
“For nearly seven decades, KB Home has been focused on helping first-time homebuyers achieve their lifelong dream of buying a home by building affordably priced homes and partnering with buyers every step of the way,” said Rob McGibney, President and Chief Operating Officer of KB Home. “In honor of National Homeownership Month, we are building on this legacy by supporting the next generation of buyers with in-person and online resources and education.”
The survey asked Americans — from Gen Zers to baby boomers — about the importance of homeownership, what factors drive homebuying decisions, and their knowledge of the homebuying process. The findings validated long-standing perceptions and revealed some surprising insights:

About the Survey
The survey was conducted online within the U.S. between April 25 and 29, 2024 among 2,058 adults (aged 18 and over) by The Harris Poll on behalf of KB Home via its Harris On Demand omnibus product. Data were weighted where necessary by age, gender, race/ethnicity, region, education, marital status, household size, household income, employment and political party affiliation to bring them in line with their actual proportions in the population.
Respondents for this survey were selected from among those who have agreed to participate in The Harris Poll surveys. The sampling precision of Harris online polls is measured by using a Bayesian credible interval. For this study, the sample data is accurate to within +/- 2.5 percentage points using a 95% confidence level. This credible interval will be wider among subsets of the surveyed population of interest. All sample surveys and polls, whether or not they use probability sampling, are subject to other multiple sources of error, which are most often not possible to quantify or estimate, including, but not limited to, coverage error, error associated with nonresponse, error associated with question wording and response options, and post-survey weighting and adjustments.
