A review of the leading contractors for new residential construction in Texas during the month of June 2021
Earlier this week, we reviewed construction permit data on record with HBW for Texas during the month of June 2021, and we learned that there were approximately 7,700 housing starts with a total construction value of nearly $1.9 billion for the one-month period. Today, we are taking a deeper dive into the same reports to identify the leading home builders that were driving new residential construction in the four major metro areas of Texas (Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio) last month.
Statewide, D.R. Horton and Lennar Homes continue to hold a high share of new home construction activity; last month, the mega-builders were responsible for approximately 25 percent of the housing starts on record, having 1,118 and 740 new permits respectively.
