homebuilders

Residential construction companies

Homebuilders are companies or individuals who construct residential houses, typically developing multiple properties in a neighborhood or subdivision.

The term usually refers to large-scale developers rather than custom builders or contractors: The homebuilders association lobbied against the new zoning restrictions.

In financial contexts, homebuilders often appear as a market sector sensitive to interest rates and housing demand.
