Great Southern Homes and Stanley Martin Homes
Great Southern Homes, an established homebuilder throughout South Carolina and the Grand Strand market, was the builder behind Avery Woods. Great Southern Homes is now part of Stanley Martin Homes following Stanley Martin's acquisition of United Homes Group, the parent company of Great Southern Homes. The acquisition brings additional financial resources, purchasing power, operational expertise, and development capabilities through Stanley Martin's parent company, Daiwa House Group, one of the world's largest homebuilding companies.
For homebuyers, the transition is not expected to result in immediate changes. The Great Southern Homes brand, local market presence, and customer experience are expected to continue as the company moves forward under Stanley Martin Homes' ownership.
Over time, however, the acquisition could position Great Southern Homes to expand its presence and compete on a larger scale. The combination of Great Southern Homes' established local market knowledge and brand recognition with the financial resources, purchasing power, and development capabilities of Stanley Martin Homes and Daiwa House could provide opportunities to pursue larger developments, open multiple communities simultaneously, and compete more directly with the largest national builders active in the Myrtle Beach market.
