(“Buffington”), one of the largest privately held homebuilders in Austin, Texas, for approximately $40 million in cash at closing, subject to post-closing adjustments. This acquisition further expands LGI Homes’ land position in the highly attractive Central Texas market and marks another important step forward in LGI Homes’ goal to become a top five national homebuilder.

Managing Partner Blake Buffington said, "We are excited to join the LGI Homes team and continue to serve homeowners in the booming Central Texas market. This transaction represents the next logical step in realizing the Buffington team’s desire to create Austin’s premier homebuilder. LGI’s core values, customer-centric philosophy and passion for making homeownership attainable fit perfectly with the culture we’ve built at Buffington.
