Most people can name their favorite soda brand. But a whole lot fewer can name who built their house.

Stephanie McCarty has spent her career trying to change that, and it’s one of the many reasons she’s @BuilderMag's inaugural CMO of the year.

Stephanie started as a journalist and later became @TaylorMorrisonHomes’s first CMO. Along the way she brought marketing in-house and got it a seat in the room where product decisions get made. She also showed buyers everything online, down to which direction a home faces.

Then, her team helped bring back @ExtremeMakeoverHomeABC, put sparkling water in every faucet of a house, and pulled off one of the greatest April Fools jokes in homebuilding history.

Yesterday at the Accelerate Summit by @NewHomeSource, she put it perfectly: “People should care who builds the house.”

Thanks to her, more of them do.

Congratulations, Stephanie. The industry is better, bolder, and a little more fun because of you. A person in a bright yellow sweater, wearing glasses, is seated at a table with a laptop.

Pickleball courts don’t sell homes anymore. Neither does a bigger clubhouse. ⁣
⁣
That was one of the loudest messages at Future Place 2026, and honestly, it’s overdue.⁣
⁣
For years, master plans competed on who could build more: more pools, more courts, another golf course. Buyers now expect all of it. When 78% of builders are feeling negative about the market, “expected” isn’t going to get anyone off the fence.⁣
⁣
The conversation is shifting toward something harder to build: a reason to belong. ⁣
⁣
That starts with knowing who you’re building for. And that buyer is changing. Retirees and solo-root buyers made up 56% of Q2 shoppers, while demographic shifts are bringing multigenerational living, longevity and universal design further into the mainstream.⁣
⁣
David O’Reilly of @howardhughesco said it best: “When people buy into The Woodlands, they’re not buying a home. They’re buying a place.” ⁣

What do we really know about Gen Z's housing preferences and aspirations?

Our findings show Gen Z remains optimistic about their future, despite real affordability and access challenges shaping their path to homeownership.

Their aspirations haven't shifted from previous generations. What's changed is the path to get there.

Understanding that distinction is critical for serving what's next. by @zondahome

David O'Reilly, CEO of @HowardHughesCo, is the 2026 recipient of the Legends Award for excellence in master-planned communities. 

Quality of life, connection to nature, and a sense of community are the common threads David O’Reilly champions across Howard Hughes' master-planned communities, from @The.Woodlands to @Teravalis.

O'Reilly doesn't see himself as building a new vision, but as a steward of one that's been evolving for decades.

O'Reilly and his team will be recognized at @zondahome’s Future Place conference in Irving, Texas, on September 28 to 30.

The 2026 Local Leaders list is here.

@zondahome's annual ranking of the 50 largest U.S. new-home markets shows the top 7 held steady year-over-year — but just one of them (hint: No. 2 on the list) grew closings in 2025.

Meanwhile, Midwest markets like Indianapolis, Chicago, and Minneapolis are climbing, and Spartanburg, SC jumped 10 spots to become the biggest mover on the list. by @zondahome
