A review of the leading home builders in Texas during the month of April 2022
Earlier this week we reviewed HBW’s latest construction data reports for Texas and found that there were approximately 9,150 new residential construction permits with a total value in excess of $2.6 billion added to the HBW database last month. Today, we are using the same reports to identify the leading home builders driving new construction in each of the four major metro areas of Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio). For the purpose of our review, “top” home builders are listed based on two factors – The primary factor is the total number of new residential construction permits pulled for a given period (April 2022), and the secondary factor is the total construction value of permits on record for each home builder.
Across the state, D.R. Horton has and continues to lead the market, having nearly 850 total new residential construction permits on record with HBW last month. Not far behind, Lennar Homes ranked second, having approximately 770 new permits on record last month.
