"Imploded" Builders: The "imploded" list contains builders who have gone through some sort of permanent adverse change. This is a somewhat subjective call, and does not necessarily mean total shutdown or bankruptcy. It can also mean steep and rapid declines in enterprise value; or abnormal "bail-out" by corporate parents or peers in order to continue to operate. The builders may be residential or commercial.

Ailing Builders haven't shut down, but they've suffered significant valuation declines, temporarily halted redemptions, or faced other major business hurdles. Builders on watch may not even have unusual declines relative to peers, but may be posted if it is felt there may be risk of developing a more serious condition in the near future.

Attention: This site changes rapidly, and some information may be inaccurate (particularly if it is very recent). You should always check other sources regarding information found here, and check with the companies themselves if you plan on doing business with them. And as always, please let us know if you have corrections, clarifications, or additions.
