History[edit]
Meritage Homes was founded in 1985 as Monterey Homes in Scottsdale, Arizona, by Steve Hilton and William “Bill” Cleverly.[7]
In 1997, the company changed its name to Meritage Homes Corp, and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MTH.[7]
In 2011, the company unveiled its first net-zero energy homes, in Buckeye, Arizona.[8]
In July 2014, the company acquired Douglasville, Georgia-based Legendary Communities, the owner operator of almost 4,000 home sites, for nearly $130 million.[9]
In 2015, the company promoted its Sierra Crest development in Fontana, CA as California’s first net-zero energy community.[10]
In April 2019, the company built its first all-electric, zero-net-energy townhome community, in Irvine California.[8] In December, the Wall Street Journal reported how large home builders like Meritage were targeting millennials by producing a larger number of less expensive, entry-level homes.[11]

Meritage is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, and divides its operations into four regions: West, Central, East and South.[9] It develops homes for entry level and first move-up buyers, including “net zero” energy efficient homes that provide as much power as they consume.[12] The company trades on the NY Stock Exchange under the symbol MTH, and is also listed in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.[citation needed]
