History

LGI Homes was founded in 2003 in The Woodlands, Texas by Thomas Lipar and began building in the Houston area.[5][6] LGI Homes focuses on entry-level housing in the vicinity of major metropolitan areas. Its primary customer is the first-time homebuyer.[7] The company saw sales trend upward from 2006 to 2008, when it was the only builder in the Builder Magazine Top-200 builders to generate unit sales and see revenue growth across that period.[8] The company's growth slowed in 2009, when LGI Homes experienced a 9% drop in home sales, year-over-year.[9] In 2013, the company announced that they would be expanding to the southeast, and that plans to develop new home communities in Florida and Georgia were in place.[10] LGI Homes began publicly trading shares of their company on November 7, 2013. The share price of the initial 9 million shares rose from $11 per share to $12.26 by market closing, an increase of 11%.[11] The company planned to use the $90 million they raised to grow their company particularly in Texas.[12] In October 2014, the company purchased Oakmont Home Builders and expanded into North Carolina, South Carolina and New Mexico. In the same year, the company closed 2,357 homes. In February 2015, LGI Homes expanded to Colorado.

Total revenue for LGI Homes in 2018 was $1.5 billion, a 19.6% increase from the prior year, while end totals for 2018 show 6,512 homes closed ending 2018 11.4% increase in homes closed over 2017.[4] LGI Homes closed 1,617 homes in 2013, 2,356 homes in 2014, 3,404 homes in 2015, and 4,163 homes in 2016.
