There’s a moment that happens when you walk into a home, and everything just feels right. The layout makes sense. The light hits just the way you hoped. You can picture your life unfolding there.
At Olson Homes, that moment is only the beginning.
Because while this year marks a big win, what matters even more is what it represents.
For the seventh consecutive year, Olson Homes has been named the #1 single-division homebuilder in North America for overall purchase and ownership experience, earning top honors at the 31st Annual Homebuyers’ Choice Awards. It also marks the company’s 11th time receiving this recognition. This achievement reflects a commitment to delivering an experience that extends well beyond the day you move in.
A Recognition Built on Real Homeowner Experiences
This recognition is based on more than 210,000 verified homeowner surveys collected through TrustBuilderCX, powered by Eliant, representing feedback from over 250 major homebuilders nationwide. It’s a comprehensive look at the homeowner experience, measured not just at move-in, but months and even a year later, when the excitement settles, and daily life takes shape.
That’s what gives this recognition its meaning.
Because buying a home is not a single moment. It’s a series of moments. The first tour. The questions you didn’t even know to ask. The construction walk while your home is being built. The day you get your keys. And everything that comes after.
Listening, Learning, and Building Better
At Olson Homes, the focus has always been on that full journey. Not just building homes that look good on day one, but creating an experience that feels thoughtful, clear, and supportive from start to finish.
That experience is shaped by listening. Not only through surveys, but through ongoing conversations with homeowners. Olson Homes regularly invites homeowners to participate in focus groups and discussions, creating space to better understand what worked, what could be improved, and how the experience can continue to evolve.
Those insights are not just noted. They are carried forward. They help shape future communities, refine the homebuying process, and guide decisions in ways that reflect real homeowner experiences.
Because at the heart of it all, homeowners are the reason behind every decision. Their feedback is not only heard but also thoughtfully considered and used to make each new neighborhood even better than the last.
You can see that commitment come to life across new home communities throughout Southern California, where design, location, and livability are all informed by the people who call these places home.
Seven Years at #1
In an industry where rankings can shift from year to year, maintaining the #1 position for seven consecutive years is a rare achievement.
It reflects consistency. It reflects accountability. And it reflects a company that continues to improve by paying close attention to the details that matter most to homeowners.
Today’s homebuyers are thoughtful and informed. They are looking for more than just a place to live. They are looking for confidence in their decision, clarity throughout the process, and a sense that they are supported every step of the way.
Why This Matters for Homebuyers
Through TrustBuilderCX, every homeowner survey contributes to a clearer picture of what that experience actually looks like. Not the version presented in a brochure, but the one lived day to day. The one that shows up in how questions are answered, how timelines are communicated, and how supported homeowners feel long after move-in.
For those considering a new home, that level of insight offers something powerful: reassurance.
It means choosing a builder that has been consistently recognized for delivering not just quality homes, but a reliable and thoughtful experience across every stage of ownership.
If you’re beginning your new home search, exploring available homes and communities is a great place to start seeing how that experience comes to life.
More Than a Recognition
Year after year, homeowners have shared their experiences, and those voices continue to place Olson Homes at the top.
And while this recognition is significant, what matters most is what it represents: thousands of individual experiences, each one helping shape the way Olson Homes continues to build, improve, and grow.

It’s about how it feels to live in it.
