Dream Finders Homes

What Dream Finders Homes does

Dream Finders Homes is a national homebuilder headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, founded in 2008 and publicly traded on NASDAQ under ticker DFH. The company operates across 11 or more states through a multi-brand platform that includes Coventry Homes, Craft Homes, DF Luxury Homes, and the active-adult brand Reverie, serving first-time, move-up, luxury, and 55+ buyer segments. Its footprint spans 200+ active communities with a record 8,608 home closings in FY2025 and 2,408 closings in Q1 2026 (+19% YoY).

The business vertically integrates residential construction with ancillary financial services, notably through the April 2025 acquisition of Alliant National Title Insurance Company and earlier mortgage origination capabilities via Cherry Creek Capital. The company builds single-family detached and attached product across a range of price points, leveraging centralized land acquisition, design, and procurement functions while running regional operating brands that retain local market identity and pricing autonomy.

Dream Finders generates revenue primarily through the sale of newly constructed homes, with FY2025 home closing revenue of approximately $4.32 billion (down modestly from $4.4 billion in FY2024) and net income of $217 million. Revenue mechanics are volume-driven: ASP multiplied by closings, supplemented by title and mortgage capture on internally originated transactions. The company also generates brand goodwill through sports partnerships with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Rays, and Tampa Bay Rowdies, and was named 2025 National Builder of the Year. Liquidity stood at $899M (including $234.8M cash) at year-end 2025.
