Scottsdale, Ariz., February 24, 2015 - In anticipation of Meritage management’s meetings with investors at conferences this week, Meritage Homes Corporation (NYSE: MTH) is providing certain details regarding the Company’s total home orders for the month of January 2015. Orders for 606 homes in January 2015 were 48% greater than the 409 orders for January 2014, resulting from a 20% increase in average orders per community and a 24% increase in average actively selling communities for the month.

- Central region orders increased 6% with a 22% increase in average orders per community, including a 15% increase in Houston’s average orders per community;
