Hoya Capital Housing 100 Index

HOMZ: tracking the American housing industry

The Hoya Capital Housing Index (HOMZ Index) is a rules based index composed of the 100 companies that collectively represent the performance of the United States housing industry, targeting many of the fastest growing real estate companies in the country.

Constituents span homebuilders, residential REITs, home improvement retailers, building products manufacturers, and housing finance companies. This page explains the index thesis, the housing market segments it captures, and why housing represents one of the largest and most consequential asset classes in the American economy.

HOMZ reflects the view that housing touches nearly every corner of the American economy, from homebuilding and rental housing to home improvement and mortgage finance. The page also covers the index's history, its rebalancing schedule, and how it fits alongside the firm's dividend focused RIET index.

Beyond the constituent list, the page walks through the segments the index is built from, spanning home construction and building products, home improvement, residential real estate services and rental housing, and housing finance. Together those segments capture how American housing wealth is created, improved, transacted, financed, and rented, which is why the index is designed as a single diversified expression of the housing economy rather than a concentrated bet on any one industry within it. The framework is explained in plain language for new index investors.
