If you’re looking for a new home, you might have encountered DR Horton. They are the largest home builder in America, but what are recent homeowners saying about them? In this blog post, we’ll review the reviews and see if DR Horton’s homes are worth buying.

First off, let’s look at the reviews. According to the Consumer Affairs website, DR Horton has a 1.6-star rating of 72 reviews. On Yelp, they have a less than two-star rating out of 171 reviews. Trustpilot gives them a 1.7-star rating out of 72 reviews. These are not great numbers, especially for a company that is the number one builder in America.

As we dive deeper into the reviews, we see a pattern emerging. Many recent homeowners have reported poor quality of construction and materials. There are reports of faulty installations, such as fascia falling off from a windstorm, and poor grading, leading to standing water in the backyard. Some homes have had subfloor issues due to improperly installed nails.

There are also reports of poor customer service. Homeowners have complained about DR Horton’s warranty process, which they say is non-existent once you move in. Many homeowners have reported a lack of responsibility and communication when trying to get issues fixed.

So, should you buy a DR Horton home? Based on the reviews, it seems like a risky investment. However, it’s important to note that not all reviews are negative. Some homeowners have had positive experiences with DR Horton’s sales reps, and some good reviews are mixed in with the bad ones.

If you’re interested in buying a DR Horton home, we recommend doing your research. Look up reviews for the specific community you’re interested in and the area in which it’s being built. Get a detailed home inspection before closing, and ensure all repairs and deficiencies are fixed before closing.

In conclusion, it’s important to note that while there are certainly a significant number of negative reviews for DR Horton, it’s possible that many happy homeowners simply don’t take the time to write a review. It’s also worth mentioning that DR Horton is a major homebuilder with operations in 109 markets across 33 states, and closed over 82,000 homes in 2022 alone. So while the negative reviews are concerning, it’s possible that they represent only a small percentage of DR Horton’s overall customers.
