“This will be a record year for M&A again. You’re going to see some publics selling and you are going to see a lot of privates selling. In part it is because the biggest builders need units to grow because spring selling season was a bust. Part is because the smaller companies are finding it harder to navigate, their cost of capital has gone up with higher rates, [and] they don’t have any access to cash because their business is slow.” — Margaret Whelan, Builder Magazine, May 2025
