Trend Homes is one of the few privately owned home building companies left in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. The company was originally founded in Salt Lake City in 1966, then known as Trendsetter Homes. In 1989, founders of the company moved the business to Phoenix, Arizona. Innovative floor plans and a value oriented philosophy allowed the company to succeed in very price conscious market.  Steady and well planned growth of 15% per year allowed Trend Homes to diversify into several important market niches. Classic Communities, a division of Trend, builds higher density condominium projects, while Trend focuses on single family homes.  The "Regency" brand builds value oriented luxury homes. Each of these entities allow the company to meet the needs of a broad range of customer needs.   Recently, the Najafi companies, a phoenix based private equity firm, purchased the assets of Trend Homes.   The professional management team in place is working to strategically position the company for growth when the real estate market recovers.  In the meantime, Trend Homes continues to build and sell distinctively designed homes of quality and value.

Part of the success of Trend Homes, has been its commitment to superior design.  Historically, Trend has invested heavily in award winning architecture and color design to bring handsome and unique elevations and floor plans to market. The results have been stunning.  Award winning communities such as The Lakes and Annecy and Copper Leaf near downtown Phoenix provide example of superior community planning and architecture.  "Our goal is to see our communities appreciate in value and for our homeowners to really take pride in where they live," says Reed Porter, CEO of Trend Homes
