Builder 100 list reveals the top U.S. home builders that had the most closings in 2023.

Taylor Morrison Home Corp. is making a big buy to increase its market reach, agreeing to purchase William Lyon Homes for $2.4 billion.

Scottsdale-based Taylor Morrison (NYSE: TMHC) will become the fifth-largest homebuilder in the U.S. if the deal is consummated. It will also allow the company to enter into new markets in Washington, Oregon and Nevada.

LaTerra Development Completes & Sells Stone Creek Apartments in San Diego for $33 Million/ Market-leading $340,000 per unit.

Lennar's $5.7 billion acquisition bid for No. 5-ranked CalAtlantic would create the largest home building enterprise by revenue ($17 billion in 2016 revenues, according to our Builder 100 data), and would signal an ongoing consolidation of clout among fewer, larger players in the late innings of the current housing recovery.

Forestar Group Inc (FOR.N) said on Thursday that U.S. homebuilder D.R. Horton Inc's (DHI.N) offer to buy a majority stake in the real estate developer could be superior to its deal with Starwood Capital Group.

Forestar also said it was still subject to the agreement with Starwood, which in April agreed to buy the Texas-based company for $14.25 per share, or about $605 million.
