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
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.
