See which builders hold the lots in your market

What you see

The lots builders and land bankers own today show up on the map, grouped by subdivision and sized by how many each one holds. Click a holding to see when it first appeared and, if the purchase is on record, what was paid per lot. New purchases show up in the next weekly update, so you can watch a builder's position grow or shrink.

How we put it together

We read county ownership records every week. Big builders hold land through many separate companies, often one per community, so we group those under the builder's name. Land bankers are labeled as land bankers. We only name companies, never individuals.

Why land teams watch it

It shows where your competitors are buying and how fast. It gives you real purchase prices from the same submarket to hold a deal against. And a builder sitting on lots it isn't building on is sometimes a seller. For brokers, it's a ready-made call list. Put it next to lot sales and the rezoning tracker and you can follow a county's pipeline from filing to closing.
