§Winston Score History

The full picture

Lennar Corporation builds and sells new homes across the United States. It serves first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and retirees, offering homes at a range of price points under the Lennar brand. The company is one of the largest homebuilders in the country, operating in dozens of markets across more than 20 states.

Lennar makes money primarily by selling newly constructed homes, but it also earns revenue from mortgage financing, title insurance, and closing services offered directly to its buyers. This bundled approach gives Lennar some advantage over smaller builders by keeping more of each transaction in-house. The company's growth depends heavily on housing demand, which is sensitive to mortgage interest rates — when rates rise, fewer people can afford to buy, which puts direct pressure on home sales volume and profit margins.
