Top Builders Lead New Home Construction in 2025

In 2025, the top 10 home builders in the United States are continuing to dominate new home construction across major cities. In the 50 largest housing markets, these builders were responsible for building nearly 80 percent of all new single-family homes. This shows how much control a few big companies have in shaping U.S. neighborhoods.

In some cities, the top 10 builders are building almost everything. For example:

In Cincinnati, Ohio, they built 97.8 percent of all new homes.

Other highly concentrated cities include Charleston, SC, and Philadelphia, PA, each with over 90 percent built by the top 10 builders.

The national average for the top 10 builders' share across these cities was 79.3 percent, up from 78.2 percent in 2023.

Some cities saw big increases from last year:

Oklahoma City rose by 20.7 percentage points

Atlanta grew by 14.7 percentage points

Philadelphia increased by 10.7 percentage points

At the same time, a few cities saw a drop in builder concentration:

Miami dropped by 18.1 percentage points

Los Angeles by 14.7 points

Orlando by 11.6 points

Builders like Lennar, D.R. Horton, and PulteGroup were among the most active. Lennar and D.R. Horton made it to the top 10 in 46 metro areas, while PulteGroup appeared in 36.

This trend shows that large builders are becoming even more important in how and where homes are built in the U.S.

D.R. Horton calls itself "America's Builder," but it's not the only source for new homes, and there have been serious complaints.

Looking at YouTube today, I noticed a surge of D.R. Horton promotions — and problem reports. That's one video, above.

Here's another reported D.R. Horton nightmare, at the following URL:

https://youtu.be/Ce-ru9FhPVI?si=P-ckakE45yuHES-I

According to ABC Action News, a single mom didn't expect construction problems and delays when she paid more than half a million dollars for a newly built home. Issues with "America's Builder" kept the family out, but they were stuck paying the mortgage AND rent for an apartment and storage unit. This was in 2023, but there are many similar stories on the Web.

There's a lot of positive D.R. Horton ads and testimonials, but if you're looking to buy a home, research the company both in and out of the glowing spotlight.

TIP: Before you buy a home, hire a qualified professional to inspect it thoroughly, drywall to rafters. Have them check for insects (which can come with the building materials, or wander in during construction).

Do a walk-through with the inspector and have them check electrical wiring, appliances, phone hookups and built-ins, plumbing, heating and cooling, weatherproofing, windows and screens, security systems and anything else — such as nails protruding from floorboards or, IDK, the roof unexpectedly flies off.

Get the inspection report in writing before you fork over hundreds of thousands of dollars; the inspection fee will be minimal by comparison.

"Across religions of all creeds and sects, there’s a unifying theme of helping one’s neighbors — and that’s a mission that pastor Michael Jones wants to prioritize for his community in the coming years. 

Recently, Jones’ Village of Faith Ministries, a church based in Sandston, Virginia, joined congregations around the country in converting church property into affordable housing. 

“We knew that, at some point in time, we would look to position ourselves to sell a portion of it, or all of it, to simply aid where our congregation is trying to go in the future,” Jones told Next City in January.

The church is presently eying a portion of its 1.5 acre property on its Southside location with plans to construct 192 apartments and 40 townhomes. 

Jones told Next City that the homebuilding company D.R. Horton worked with the church to develop a housing plan that could meet the church’s financial goals while also keeping rent costs low. 

“We know that housing is a need,” Jones said. 

Jones sees a bright future for the 232 housing units yet to be built, and the 232 families that will call their property home. 

Jones wants the church to be a community hub, where people can seek services, meet their neighbors, and even visit the community garden on its property. 

“Our churches should not be vacant Monday through Saturday,” Jones said. 

Village of Faith Ministries joins a growing number of faith-based organizations that are addressing the housing crisis in a variety of ways, whether it’s by building tiny home communities for the homeless, offering zero interest loans for low-income families, or extending rental assistance to those in need. 

In response to cynicism surrounding new housing developments — often boiled down to the phrase “not in my backyard” — churches across the United States started the faith-based movement: “Yes, In God’s Backyard.” 

The grassroots effort works to address the nationwide deficit of affordable housing and inspire faith leaders to use their resources to give back to their communities. 

And it’s working. 

Last year, a bill titled “Yes, In God’s Backyard” passed in California, which permits religious institutions to convert their land into housing without being held to local zoning regulations. 

In early 2025, Virginia’s state senate considered a similar bill, “Faith in Housing for the Commonwealth” — a bill that was still under review at the time of publication. 

“[We proudly support the] ‘Faith in Housing for the Commonwealth Act’ to build more affordable housing where it is most needed by allowing churches to build affordable housing on their land through a streamlined process,” the Commonwealth Housing Coalition said in a press statement. 

“Today in Virginia, too many of our neighbors and community members struggle to afford a place to call home,” the coalition continued. “We have an opportunity to help more faith-based institutions help solve this problem by allowing them to build homes on their land.”"

One of the nation’s largest homebuilders will not be able to build an isolated housing development on 286 acres of farmland in Burlington County, according to a court ruling.

The decision released last month came after more than two years of legal battles between the housing developer D.R. Horton and Springfield Township — a small community in Burlington County that is 75% farmland or preserved open space.

D.R. Horton alleged the township has been in violation of state affordable housing rules for more than seven years because it hasn’t provided its fair share of low- and moderate-income housing.

The company also claimed Springfield officials did not give developers a fair chance to build in the community and provide homes for low- and moderate-income families, the lawsuit said.

But, Springfield Mayor Dave Frank said the town is dedicated to offering affordable housing in a way that aligns with the community’s farmland preservation goals.

“Springfield Township has always been committed to the production of affordable housing — in Springfield and throughout the state,” Frank said.

“We are trying to do it in a way that is appropriate to the size of our community, and the other planning concerns that are important in our community and state like sustaining agriculture as a viable industry, and preserving farmland and environmentally sensitive lands,” he said.

D.R. Horton did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In 2022, D.R. Horton proposed to develop a community of nearly 1,400 homes, with a mix of apartments, townhouses and single-family homes, on a site known as the Van Wagoner farm. The land is located along Arney’s Mount Park and Birmingham Road in Springfield.

Prior to the trial, D.R. Horton cut down its plan to 389 homes, with about 15% saved for affordable housing, according to court documents.

In an opinion submitted March 7, a state Superior Court judge sided with Springfield, denying D.R. Horton’s request to build on the farmland.

According to the court, the lawsuit was struck down because the site was “unsuitable for affordable housing development.”

However, the judge also added that despite Springfield’s efforts to preserve farms and open space, the township is still required by law to contribute its fair share of affordable housing.

According to Fair Share Housing Center, Springfield should have added 227 affordable housing units since 2015. D.R. Horton argued that by not doing so, Springfield is violating the Mount Laurel Doctrine — a legal framework that came out of a series of landmark state civil rights cases.

The doctrine legally prevents New Jersey municipalities from using local land-use laws to discriminate based on income. It also requires all towns in to provide a fair share of affordable housing options.

Housing advocates say the doctrine is pushing the state to develop more affordable homes.

Springfield Township officials say the doctrine can “promote sprawl” if it is applied without sensitivity to other planning concerns, Frank said.

Township officials argued in court they are complying with fair share housing laws and should not be required to approve the building of more homes to meet the regional need for affordable housing, court documents say.

Springfield also argued the Van Wagoner farm site chosen by D.R. Horton for its proposed housing development is unsuitable for high-density residential development under local and state planning regulations for environmentally sensitive areas.

The Van Wagoner farm is part of what local officials called a “carefully planned farm belt” in Burlington County that has remained intact due to countywide efforts of acquiring farm easements. Those efforts helped preserve nearly 6,000 acres, they said.

The site is also a “priority farm” under Burlington County’s farmland and open space preservation plan because of its soil resources and location near other preserved land, Springfield officials said.

The type of large scale development D.R. Horton proposed would’ve transformed the area’s rural farm character into a suburban setting, the township’s attorney argued in court.

The township currently has a population of about 3,200 people and has not grown in the last two decades. The number of employed residents has also steadily declined, according to court documents.

If D.R. Horton developed its proposed housing complex, about 1,000 new residents — a quarter of the town’s population — would have been isolated to that area of town, officials said in court.

There are several reasons why the Van Wagoner farm site was not a good choice for development, Burlington County Superior Court Judge Jeanne Covert said in her written decision.

Residents of the proposed community would rely on local farm roads as their primary access and there are no public water, sewer or public transportation facilities nearby, officials said.

The property is also environmentally unsuitable for development, with steep slopes and wetlands and its proximity to a county park. And, the only nearby businesses are a drug store, a gas station and a Dollar Tree miles away in another township, according to the lawsuit.

The company’s decision not to include business development in their plans would leave the affordable housing residents without resources — opposite of what state affordable housing rules push for, the judge wrote.

“This project takes sound planning and turns it on its head, along with a demonstrated and overt lack of concern for the would-be residents of this community,” Covert wrote in her opinion.

“An approval of this plan would be the epitome of ‘unsound planning’ and contrary to the constitutional mandate of (the Mount Laurel Doctrine),” she said.

Residential Real Estate Sees Surge in Urban Migration

Market Overview

The Residential Real Estate Market remains a cornerstone of the global economy, deeply intertwined with social trends, urbanization, and financial dynamics. Valued at USD 10.3 trillion in 2023, the market is projected to grow to USD 14.5 trillion by 2033. Despite short-term challenges like rising interest rates and inflationary pressures, residential real estate continues to be one of the most resilient and sought-after asset classes.

This market encompasses the buying, selling, and leasing of homes, apartments, condominiums, and other forms of dwelling units. Whether it’s a first-time buyer searching for a starter home or an investor looking to diversify through rental properties, the demand for residential space is fundamental and ever-present.

Urban expansion, demographic shifts, and remote working trends are reshaping where and how people want to live—driving ongoing evolution within the sector.

Market Dynamics

The residential real estate market is influenced by a complex mix of economic, social, and technological factors. One of the primary growth drivers in recent years has been population growth and urban migration. As more people seek housing in urban and suburban areas, the demand for residential property continues to rise.

Remote work has also dramatically shifted housing preferences. Many individuals and families are relocating to suburban or even rural areas, where they can afford larger homes and more space while working remotely. This shift has sparked demand booms in secondary cities and previously underdeveloped areas.

On the financial side, interest rates and mortgage availability play pivotal roles. While low-interest rates in previous years spurred homebuying activity, the more recent hikes by central banks across the globe have cooled demand somewhat, especially among first-time buyers. Affordability has become a challenge in many regions, pushing governments and developers to explore affordable housing projects and subsidies.

Environmental sustainability is another key factor. Today’s buyers—especially younger generations—are looking for energy-efficient homes, smart technology integration, and properties with a low carbon footprint. This green demand is influencing both new developments and renovation trends.

Key Players Analysis

The residential real estate market involves a wide range of stakeholders including real estate developers, brokers, investors, property management firms, and tech-enabled real estate platforms.

Some of the major players in the global landscape include Lennar Corporation, D.R. Horton, Brookfield Residential, CBRE Group, and Zillow Group. These companies are driving new housing developments, offering digital tools for home search, and shaping rental property portfolios.

Online platforms like Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com have revolutionized the way people buy and sell homes by offering real-time listings, AI-based recommendations, and digital closing services. Meanwhile, traditional players like CBRE and Keller Williams are adapting by blending digital innovation with in-person service.

On the development side, large-scale builders are increasingly incorporating smart home technologies, green construction materials, and community-focused layouts into their residential projects to align with evolving buyer preferences.

Regional Analysis

The North American residential real estate market remains dominant, particularly in the U.S. and Canada. In the U.S., demand continues to be strong despite higher mortgage rates, with southern and midwestern cities experiencing the highest growth due to affordability and lifestyle appeal.

Europe presents a diverse landscape. Countries like Germany and the Netherlands are seeing increased investment in multi-family housing, while the U.K. remains resilient despite economic uncertainty. In Southern Europe, regions like Portugal and Spain are attracting international buyers and retirees.

The Asia-Pacific region is witnessing rapid urbanization and housing demand, particularly in India, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Government incentives for affordable housing and the growth of the middle class are key drivers here. However, regulatory challenges and price fluctuations in cities like Beijing and Mumbai present some risks.

Latin America and Africa are emerging markets with considerable long-term potential. These regions face infrastructure gaps and affordability issues, but rising populations and urban sprawl are setting the stage for residential development in the coming decades.

Recent News & Developments

Recent developments in the residential real estate market highlight both opportunity and caution. In the U.S., there has been a notable increase in build-to-rent communities, where developers construct entire neighborhoods for long-term rental purposes—a response to rising home prices and shifting renter preferences.

Meanwhile, property technology or "PropTech" is transforming the market. Virtual tours, AI-driven valuations, blockchain-based transactions, and smart home integrations are becoming standard. Companies are now offering fully digital buying journeys, from search to closing.

Green building codes and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) mandates are gaining traction, particularly in Europe and parts of Asia. New projects increasingly feature solar panels, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and sustainable materials to meet both buyer demand and regulatory expectations.

At the same time, governments around the world are tightening regulations to stabilize housing prices and prevent speculation. Policies such as higher property taxes for investors and restrictions on foreign ownership are being explored or implemented in several hot markets.

Scope of the Report

The future of the residential real estate market will be shaped by a convergence of digital transformation, demographic shifts, and sustainability goals. As younger generations enter the housing market, their expectations for smart, connected, and eco-friendly homes will influence future designs and investments.

Developers and real estate professionals who prioritize innovation, sustainability, and affordability will be best positioned to succeed. In parallel, policy frameworks that balance economic growth with housing accessibility will play a critical role.

In essence, the residential real estate sector is not just about providing shelter—it’s about enabling lifestyles, building communities, and shaping the urban fabric of the future. With the right strategies, the market will continue to thrive, even amid shifting economic landscapes.

Steady Growth Ahead for U.S. Residential Construction Market Despite Headwinds  

Steady Growth Ahead for U.S. Residential Construction Market Despite Headwinds  

The U.S. residential construction market is poised for steady growth through 2030, despite facing challenges such as high interest rates, labor shortages, and material cost inflation. According to Mordor Intelligence, the market is projected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 3% during the forecast period. 

Market Overview 

The U.S. residential construction sector encompasses both single-family and multi-family housing units, including new constructions and renovations. Major urban centers like New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington D.C., and Miami are focal points for development activities. 

In 2020, the federal funds rate was lowered to near zero in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to historically low mortgage rates. This, coupled with a low housing supply, fueled residential construction during that period. However, the pandemic's economic impact led to temporary shutdowns, affecting residential investments in the second quarter of 2020. Despite these challenges, the residential market rebounded rapidly, with investment values surpassing pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2020. 

Key Market Trends 

Interest Rates and Mortgage Trends: The National Association of Realtors forecasts that the U.S. 30-year fixed-rate mortgage will average around 6.0% in 2025. This stabilization is expected to enhance new housing construction and increase demand for existing homes. 

Supply Chain and Material Costs: High mortgage rates and new tariffs, including a 145% duty on Chinese imports and a 25% levy on foreign steel and aluminum, have increased home construction costs by approximately $10,900 per unit, according to the National Association of Homebuilders. 

Labor Market Dynamics: The construction industry's dependence on undocumented workers makes it particularly vulnerable to immigration enforcement, adding further risks to an already stressed market. Worries about immigration enforcement officers taking away construction crews "creates more of the risk that the following day a couple siding crews don't show up," said Kurt Yinger, a vice-president at DA Davidson. 

Urban Development and Adaptive Reuse: Urban centers are witnessing a strategic shift, with former office spaces being repurposed into residential units. This trend addresses housing shortages and revitalizes urban areas, showcasing a creative solution to the region's housing crisis . 

Competitive Landscape 

The U.S. residential construction market is characterized by low market concentration, with several key players operating nationwide. Major companies include D.R. Horton, Lennar Corporation, PulteGroup, Greystar Worldwide, and Alliance Residential . These firms are actively engaging in strategic initiatives to expand their market presence and address the evolving demands of the housing sector. 

Future Outlook 

Despite current challenges, the U.S. residential construction market is expected to experience steady growth through 2030. Factors such as favorable mortgage rates, urban redevelopment initiatives, and increasing demand for housing units are anticipated to drive market expansion. However, stakeholders must navigate ongoing issues related to labor availability, material costs, and regulatory changes to capitalize on emerging opportunities.

Navigating Construction Material Prices Amid the New Administration’s Tariffs: What Developers and Investors Need to Know

The Cost of Building Just Got More Expensive—Now What?

For real estate developers and investors, rising construction costs are nothing new—but the latest proposed tariffs from the new administration could push home construction costs up by 4%–6% over the next year, with some material costs jumping by double digits.

From Canadian lumber to Chinese steel and concrete from Mexico and Canada, these tariffs are set to increase the cost of materials, squeeze builder profit margins, and potentially worsen the housing affordability crisis.

For investors, understanding these shifts is critical for managing project costs, securing materials, and identifying the most resilient investment strategies.

How Tariffs Could Impact Real Estate Development

Already, material costs have been rising:

• Canadian lumber is up 14.5%

• Concrete prices have increased 8%

• Household appliances could rise as much as 20%

• Chinese steel tariffs could push costs up by double-digit percentages

And these increases come on top of annual material price hikes that generally track inflation. CoreLogic analysis suggests that builders could see up to a 10% increase in material prices over the next 12 months—posing a serious challenge for project budgeting.

For developers working on affordable housing projects, the impact could be even greater, as profit margins are already tight.

The Real Impact on Construction Budgets

Rising Costs Could Push New Construction Out of Reach for Buyers

The average cost of new construction in the U.S. is currently $422,000. A 4%–6% increase in material costs due to tariffs would add $17,000 to $22,000 to that price tag, making homeownership even less attainable for entry-level buyers.

Meanwhile, the median home price in the U.S. rose by $19,500 in 2024, reaching $385,000 in October. Without an increase in new housing supply, prices for existing homes are likely to keep climbing.

With wages struggling to keep pace, these added costs will push more households into the cost-burdened category, where they spend over 30% of their income on housing—further limiting demand for new homes.

Developers’ Margins Are Shrinking

The average profit margin for homebuilders in 2024 was 11%, according to the National Association of Home Builders. Even a 4% rise in construction costs could significantly eat into those margins.

Large builders like D.R. Horton are attempting to shrink home sizes and offer mortgage rate buydowns to maintain affordability, but they’re still seeing revenue declines.

If the tariffs go into full effect, we could see a slowdown in new construction, leading to even tighter housing inventory—which could further drive up resale prices and create residential gridlock.

Which Construction Materials Are Most Affected?

While not all building materials will be equally impacted, certain key categories will see the most significant price hikes:

1. Canadian Wood Products

• The U.S. already increased tariffs on Canadian wood from 8.05% to 14.54% in 2023, pushing prices up.

• Many builders have shifted to sourcing lumber from Oregon, Washington, and the Southeast, but availability is limited.

2. Chinese Steel

• Tariffs on Chinese steel could drive up commercial construction costs by double-digit percentages.

• While the residential sector is less reliant on imported steel, rising prices could impact multifamily and mixed-use projects.

3. Mexican and Canadian Concrete & Cement

• 25% of cement used in the U.S. is imported, with Canada and Mexico as major suppliers.

• Tariff increases could raise costs for both residential and commercial projects.

4. Housing Fixtures

• Appliances, lighting, and cabinetry could see 10%–20% increases.

• While these costs are a smaller percentage of overall project budgets, they could still impact build-to-rent and entry-level housing affordability.

What Materials Will Be Less Affected?

• Roofing materials: Mostly sourced domestically, with potential price stability or even decreases if oil production increases.

• Masonry products: Heavy domestic production should limit major cost fluctuations.

The Supply Chain Factor: A Hidden Risk

Even if developers shift sourcing to domestic suppliers to avoid tariffs, they could face unexpected bottlenecks.

During the pandemic-driven construction boom, we saw how quickly supply chain disruptions can lead to soaring prices—with lumber costs spiking 54% in 2021.

Already, early signs of stress on domestic production are emerging:

• Sawmills have closed due to falling housing starts

• Lumber sales are down 8% year-over-year

• Major cement producers like James Hardie have already raised prices in 2024

If demand surges while domestic supply is still recovering, short-term price spikes could be even higher than expected.

What This Means for Developers & Investors

Key Challenges

✅ Higher material costs = slimmer margins

✅ Supply chain volatility could lead to unexpected price spikes

✅ More expensive homes could reduce buyer demand & affordability

✅ Slower new construction = tighter housing supply & rising resale prices

Opportunities to Mitigate Risk

🔹 Lock in material costs early: Work with suppliers to negotiate fixed pricing

🔹 Explore alternative building materials: Domestic engineered wood, steel framing, or modular construction

🔹 Target build-to-rent & multifamily projects: Rental demand remains strong

🔹 Consider development in areas with strong incentives: Some states are offering tax credits & fast-tracked approvals for affordable housing

Final Thoughts: Adapt & Stay Ahead

For real estate developers and investors, navigating these rising costs requires proactive planning.

• Short-term pain: Tariffs will increase costs, and supply chains may struggle to adjust.

• Long-term shifts: Developers may need to rethink sourcing strategies and adopt alternative construction methods.

• Investment strategy: Understanding how these costs impact affordability and buyer demand will be key to making the right investment moves.

The real question is: How will your projects adapt to these rising costs?
