<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><FONT style="font-variant: SMALL-CAPS"><B>third quarter home closings, revenue and income</B></FONT>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Meritage continued to be profitable for the third consecutive quarter of 2010, reporting net
income of $1.2&nbsp;million or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $17.8&nbsp;million or $0.56
per share in 2009. The results included pre-tax charges for real estate-related impairments of $0.8
million in 2010, compared to $13.2&nbsp;million of such impairments in 2009. Excluding the effects of
impairments in both years, Meritage&#146;s pre-tax income for the quarter was $1.5&nbsp;million in 2010,
compared with a pre-tax loss of $4.4&nbsp;million in 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Home closing revenue increased 1% due to a 21% increase in average prices despite 16% fewer
home closings. Average closing price for the quarter was $275,700 in 2010, compared to $228,400 in
2009, reflecting shifts in the mix of sales rather than price appreciation. California and Florida
made up a greater percentage of 2010 closings than in the prior year, with a smaller percentage in
Texas, where house prices are generally lower. Additionally, over the last several quarters, the
Company has acquired many well-priced lots in highly desirable in-fill locations, which support a
greater mix of move-up communities that command higher prices relative to entry-level communities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Over the last few years many builders have moved their product offerings down the
price-spectrum, believing there is less opportunity in the move-up market at this time,&#148; said
Steven J. Hilton, chairman and chief executive officer of Meritage Homes. &#147;While we also pursued
this strategy, recently we have had good success acquiring close-in move-up lots in &#145;A&#146; locations,
which other builders may have passed up. Due to our low acquisition price and construction costs,
we are currently able to sell homes in those communities at dramatically lower prices than were
available just a few years ago, offering tremendous value and opportunity to home buyers.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Gross profit increased to $42.6&nbsp;million in 2010 from $22.9&nbsp;million in 2009, as quarterly
margins improved year over year due to system-wide cost reductions and relatively stronger margins
achieved in new Meritage communities. Home closing gross margins were 18.2% in 2010 versus 10.0% in
2009, after impairments of $680,000 in 2010 and $10.4&nbsp;million in 2009. Excluding impairments,
adjusted margins were 18.5% compared to 14.5% in the prior year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;We made continued progress replacing our older communities with newer ones opened on the lots
we&#146;ve acquired since the beginning of last year,&#148; said Steven J. Hilton, chairman and chief
executive officer of Meritage Homes. &#147;Homes closed in our newer communities generated approximately
600 basis points higher margins in the third quarter than we averaged in our older communities.
Approximately 44% of our sales and 31% of our closings in the quarter came from communities we&#146;ve
acquired since the beginning of last year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;The improved margins we&#146;re achieving in our new communities are the result of successes in
each of our major initiatives. Our lot costs are lower due to excellent acquisitions based on
strategic market research. Our construction costs are lower due to simplified designs, improvements
in purchasing and construction efficiencies, which have reduced both material and labor costs. Our
homes offer lasting value because they are more energy-efficient. And our new plans allow us to
build and deliver homes faster, without sacrificing quality.&#148;

</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Net home sales in the third quarter were 36% lower than the prior year, partially due to a 12%
decline in average active communities, from an average of 170 in the third quarter of 2009 to 149
in the third quarter of 2010. Sluggish sales pace throughout the quarter was reflected in average
sales per community falling to 4.7 from 6.1 in the prior quarter and 6.5 in the prior year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Mr.&nbsp;Hilton explained, &#147;Our sales pace is well short of where we&#146;d like it to be, and
represents our greatest opportunity to increase earnings by leveraging our current infrastructure.
While home sales have been slow in many areas across the country, we believe Meritage provides
differentiated value as compared to other new or used homes in our markets. We offer some of the
best new community locations, great value-priced homes in our Simply Smart&#153; series, a 99-day
delivery guarantee in many communities, and 100% of our homes are ENERGY STAR<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> qualified, which
provides significant energy savings to reduce the monthly cost of ownership.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">He continued, &#147;We know that our homes can compete successfully with both used homes and other
new homes. Our marketing and sales training is targeted at equipping our sales people with the best
tools to help them demonstrate to buyers the many advantages of owning a new Meritage home, over
other homes they may be considering.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><FONT style="font-variant: SMALL-CAPS"><B>additional extreme energy-efficiency communities opened with strong sales </B></FONT>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">As a leader in advancing energy-efficient homebuilding, Meritage opened its first community of
extreme energy-efficient green homes in Gilbert, Arizona, in June this year. The Company opened
several similar communities in Arizona during the third quarter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The communities are the first of their kind built by a production homebuilder, and offer up to
80% energy savings over the average existing home in the U.S. by incorporating the latest
energy-efficient technologies, designed into every home at no additional charge to the buyer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;Collectively, these have been some of our best-selling communities since they opened, selling
at a significantly higher average sales pace than our other communities in the first few months
after they opened,&#148; said Mr.&nbsp;Hilton. &#147;The way that we&#146;ve designed and marketed these homes is a
clear differentiator for Meritage, and one that we believe offers a competitive advantage for us.
Additionally, we believe this technology could revolutionize the homebuilding industry by
expediting broader adoption of high energy-efficiency in new home construction.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><FONT style="font-variant: SMALL-CAPS"><B>cash flow and lot supplies</B></FONT>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">After purchasing approximately 1,600 lots for a total of $65&nbsp;million during the quarter,
Meritage ended the quarter with $419.8&nbsp;million in total cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash
and short-term investments. The Company&#146;s net debt to total capital ratio improved to 27.1% at
September&nbsp;30, 2010, from 35.2% at September&nbsp;30, 2009.

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Meritage controlled approximately 14,500 total lots at September&nbsp;30, 2010, equivalent to a
3.6-year supply based on trailing twelve months closings. Approximately half of those were acquired
since the beginning of 2009, and about a third of Meritage&#146;s total 150 active communities are on
recently-acquired lots. The
Company already owns or has under contract 29 additional new communities that it plans to open
over the next several quarters.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><FONT style="font-variant: SMALL-CAPS"><B>year to date results</B></FONT>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">For the first nine months of 2010, home closing revenue climbed 6% as home closings increased
1% and average sales prices were 5% higher. Significant closing gains were achieved in California
and Florida, where the sales pace was stronger due to a large percentage of new communities in
those divisions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Meritage reported net income of $8.0&nbsp;million or $0.25 per diluted share for the first nine
months of 2010, compared to a net loss of $109.7&nbsp;million or $3.52 per share in the first nine
months of 2009. Year-to-date net income included $1.6&nbsp;million of pre-tax real estate-related
impairment charges and a $3.5&nbsp;million loss on the early extinguishment of debt in 2010, compared to
$90.3&nbsp;million of impairments and a $9.4&nbsp;million gain on early extinguishment of debt in 2009.
Excluding those items, adjusted pre-tax income was $13.0&nbsp;million for the first nine months of 2010,
compared to a pre-tax loss of $26.9&nbsp;million for the first nine months of 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Company&#146;s fully reserved deferred tax assets totaled $88.4&nbsp;million as of September&nbsp;30,
2010. These tax assets may be available to offset federal and state income tax liabilities on
approximately $230&nbsp;million of future taxable income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><FONT style="font-variant: SMALL-CAPS"><B>summary</B></FONT>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;We are confident in our strategy and pleased with our accomplishments through this most
challenging time for homebuilders,&#148; said Mr.&nbsp;Hilton. &#147;We have a strong balance sheet with a
relatively light supply of land, no near-term debt maturities and significant liquidity, which is
enabling us to replace communities with lower-priced lots as we close out of older communities. We
have reduced our direct costs and are offering a new series of value-priced homes that we can build
much faster, to compete more successfully with existing home sales. At the same time, we are
achieving higher margins and sales velocity in our new communities. And I can confidently say that
we are leading the industry with the most energy-efficient homes available from a production
homebuilder today.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">He added, &#147;Given the lower sales levels we&#146;ve experienced in the last couple of quarters and
our lack of visibility, we are anticipating lower closing revenue in the fourth quarter. We have
taken additional steps to control both our direct and indirect costs, while retaining the
organizational talent necessary to advance our strategic initiatives. Even so, it will be
challenging to maintain our profitability for the quarter with lower revenues, but we expect to be
around break-even, and to meet our goal of being profitable for the full year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">&#147;It is difficult to predict when buyer confidence will return and the market will strengthen,
but we are optimistic that we&#146;ll see some improvement in 2011,&#148; Mr.&nbsp;Hilton concluded. &#147;Meritage is
well positioned to be a strong competitor in the homebuilding industry, and we believe the
successful execution of our strategic initiatives is driving sustainable competitive advantages for
Meritage.&#148;
