The Lifestory Research 2022 America's Most Trusted® New Home Search Website Study ranking is based on 8,202 people surveyed while they were actively shopping for a new home. Websites included in the final ranking were nationally recognized by people who indicated that they had used the new home search website while searching for a new home.To be considered, websites needed to receive enough survey responses to achieve a 95% confidence level with no more than a 3% margin of error.

The Lifestory Research America's Most Trusted® Study rankings are based on the Net Trust Index Quotient Score. Scores are standardized across more than 500 brands and product segments included in the study and then rank-ordered within each product segment. The trust score is formulated based on how thousands of people evaluate brands in the study.  Study participants are classified and defined by three levels of consumer trust: Trust Advocates, Trust Neutral, and Trust Antagonists.  A Trust Advocate expresses significant trust in a brand, whereas a Trust Antagonist vocalizes distrust. 

Details of the method used in the research program can be found on the survey methodology page.  Additional insights and questions answered can be seen in our press releases or the frequently asked questions
