Company Overview

D.R. Horton has been the largest homebuilder by volume in the United States since 2002. Over its 47-year history, the company has closed 1.3 million homes. It operates in 126 markets across 36 states.

During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2026, D.R. Horton closed 84,655 homes in its homebuilding operations. This figure excludes rental properties.

In the same period, the company delivered 3,129 single-family rental homes and 2,370 multi-family rental units. Sales prices generally range from $200,000 to over $1,000,000.

The company also provides mortgage financing, title services, and insurance agency services. It is the majority owner of Forestar Group Inc., a national residential lot development company.

Mold-related lawsuits are adding financial pressure to major US homebuilders as homeowners allege construction defects caused health problems. Legal reserves at top firms have risen sharply.

D.R. Horton Inc (NYSE: DHI) and Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN) are among those facing increased litigation costs. Homeowners blame improper HVAC sizing, window installation, and attic ventilation for moisture buildup. Builders dispute some health claims and cite maintenance issues.

Rising Legal Reserves

Legal exposure is growing for the sector's largest players. D.R. Horton faces thousands of lawsuits in Louisiana alleging widespread mold growth due to poor construction. Its reserves for legal claims rose 57% to $1.1 billion from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2025.

Lennar is facing litigation from the Seminole Tribe of Florida involving more than 450 homes with alleged roof defects and mold. Its self-insurance reserve rose 21% in fiscal 2025 to $336.9 million.

Market Headwinds

Homebuilder earnings are already under pressure from affordability problems, elevated inventory, and higher construction costs. Average 2026 earnings-per-share estimates for the sector fell about 18% since the start of the year. Residential starts fell 12.4% in July from June, while single-family starts dropped 9.9% to the weakest level since November 2022.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence in reserve growth highlights varying regional or case-specific exposures. D.R. Horton’s 57% increase in legal reserves over three years contrasts with Lennar’s 21% annual rise, suggesting different litigation intensities or settlement strategies despite both facing significant mold-related claims.
