D.R. Horton Opens Sales at Altama Community in Brunswick, Georgia

Homebuilding giant D.R. Horton announced that its Altama residential community in Brunswick, Georgia is now open for sales, adding another coastal-Georgia location to the builder’s footprint.

Brunswick, situated along Georgia’s Atlantic coast between Savannah and Jacksonville, Florida, has drawn continued residential interest as buyers look for alternatives to pricier markets in neighboring states. New-construction communities like Altama cater to that demand, offering move-in-ready inventory alongside homes built to order.

The announcement underscores D.R. Horton’s strategy of maintaining a broad geographic spread across the South and Sun Belt, where population growth and relative affordability have supported single-family housing demand. The company operates in 126 markets across 36 states through six regional homebuilding segments, making it the largest homebuilder in the United States by volume.

As homebuilders continue to navigate elevated mortgage rates and affordability pressures, many have leaned on sales incentives and smaller floor plans to keep monthly payments within reach for buyers. Communities in markets like Brunswick, where land costs tend to be lower than in major metro areas, play a role in that affordability-focused playbook.

Market snapshot: D.R. Horton (NYSE: DHI) traded at $139.41, flat on the day, with a market capitalization of approximately $38.6 billion. The stock sits in the residential construction industry within the consumer cyclical sector, a group that tends to track interest-rate expectations and housing turnover.
