This Week's Featured Builder: Dream Finders Homes
Dream Finders Homes, founded in 2008 and traded on the NASDAQ since 2021, is one of the fastest-growing builders in the country, and right now it is selling townhomes at Whitson Woods in Stafford County and at Jefferson Square in Manassas, Prince William County, with more Virginia communities in Fairfax County.
Dream Finders broke ground on its first home in Jacksonville, Florida in January 2009 and has since closed more than 44,000 homes, ranking as the 14th-largest U.S. homebuilder on the 2025 and 2026 Builder 100 lists. Its regional product is townhome-focused right now: Whitson Woods in Stafford County is a 55-home community of 22-foot-wide townhomes with roughly 2,100 to 2,348 square feet, with recent listed homes around $513,000 to $576,000, and Jefferson Square in Manassas pairs 85 townhomes with 14 single-family homes, with available homes from about $607,965 up to roughly $768,000. In August 2026 the company announced it would acquire Beazer Homes, a move it said would create the sixth-largest U.S. homebuilder. Inventory moves fast, so confirm what is selling today and compare the full lender offer against an outside pre-approval, as you would with any builder.
