Description

In the new home world, we often divide builders into public and private. The idea is that the publics are the capital-rich, large-scale firms with a multi-regional presence that are gradually gobbling up market share from the smaller local private builders scattered throughout the country. But this ignores the “big privates”—homebuilders privately owned but with the size and resources to act like a “national.”


David Weekley Homes is definitely a big private. The builder has spread from its Texas roots throughout the swath of the smile states (minus California, which hurts my feelings) and into the upper Midwest. On this episode of New Home Insights, Jay Brown, CEO, and Chris Weekley, President and Vice Chairman, walk us through David Weekley’s philosophy and strategy, expand on their expansion plans, and provide insight into how they view the market now and in the future.
