A list of the leading home builders in Texas during the month of July
According to HBW’s latest construction data reports for Texas, there were approximately 5,650 new residential construction permits added to the HBW database last month. And while we will go into more detail on new permit data on record for Texas in upcoming posts, today we are using the reports to identify the leading home builders in each of the four major metro areas of Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio). For our purposes, “top home builders” are defined based on two factors: The total number of new residential construction permits pulled for a given period (July 2022); and the total construction value of permits on record for each home builder.
Across the state, D.R. Horton continues to lead the market, having nearly 730 new residential construction permits on record with HBW last month. Next in line, Lennar Homes ranked second, having approximately 541 new permits on record last month.
