Daiwa House Industry announced on May 7 that it has acquired United Homes, a U.S. company specializing in single-family homes, in a deal estimated at several tens of billions of yen.

The acquisition was carried out through Stanley Martin, Daiwa House’s U.S. subsidiary, which purchased all outstanding shares of United Homes, making it a wholly owned subsidiary.

Based in South Carolina, United Homes delivered 1,192 homes in 2025 and recorded sales of approximately US$406 million (about ¥63.3 billion). The company primarily targets first-time homebuyers and has established a strong presence in the southeastern United States, one of the country’s fastest-growing housing markets.

Daiwa House said it expects housing demand in the region to remain solid, particularly in South Carolina, which is projected to record one of the highest population growth rates in the United States in 2025.

As part of its broader U.S. growth strategy, Daiwa House aims to increase annual single-family home deliveries in the U.S. from 7,095 units in 2024 to more than 10,000 units by 2026. Home orders in 2025 rose 14% year over year to 7,820 units, reflecting continued demand despite a challenging housing market environment.

The broader U.S. housing market has shown mixed trends. New home sales in March, seasonally adjusted at an annual rate, rose 3.3% from a year earlier to 680,000 units. Meanwhile, the median sales price fell 6% year over year to US$387,400, the lowest level since July 2021.
