How does the pricing and absorption rate of this project compare to PulteGroup’s existing 55+ communities in other regions?

Answer

The press release you shared about PulteGroup’s new Del Webb Lost Pines 55+ community in the Austin market does not include any details on pricing or absorption rates for the project. The announcement focuses on the groundbreaking ceremony, the strategic significance of entering one of the nation’s fastest‑growing retirement markets, and the location within the historic The Colony master‑planned community in Bastrop, Texas.

Because the release does not disclose:

• List‑price ranges (e.g., median home price, price per square foot, or any tiered pricing structure)
• Absorption metrics (e.g., homes sold per month, percentage of inventory sold within a given time frame, or comparison to historical absorption trends)

we cannot directly compare the pricing or absorption performance of Del Webb Lost Pines to PulteGroup’s existing 55+ communities in other regions (such as those in the Sun Belt, the Midwest, or the Southeast) based solely on the information provided.

What you can do next

1. Check PulteGroup’s Investor Relations releases – Quarterly earnings calls, 10‑K filings, or supplemental investor presentations often contain aggregate data on pricing and absorption for the company’s 55+ portfolio. Look for tables or commentary that break out “active‑adult” or “55+” community metrics by region or by project.

2. Contact the company’s corporate communications or development team – They may be able to supply a project‑specific fact sheet that includes the planned price range, target median price, and projected absorption schedule (e.g., “X homes per month over the first 12 months”).

3. Review local market reports – Real‑estate market analysts (e.g., the Austin Board of Realtors, CBRE, or local brokerage research) sometimes publish community‑level pricing and absorption data for new developments, especially for large builders like PulteGroup.

4. Monitor subsequent news releases – As the community moves from groundbreaking to pre‑sales and construction, PulteGroup typically issues updates that highlight “pre‑sales performance” and “absorption rates” to demonstrate market demand.

General context (for perspective only)

While we can’t give project‑specific numbers, it may be helpful to know the typical benchmarks PulteGroup has reported for its 55+ communities in other markets:

*Absorption rate is usually expressed as the percentage of homes sold from the total planned inventory over a defined period (often 12 months from launch). These figures are derived from PulteGroup’s historical disclosures and industry analyst reports and are not specific to the Lost Pines project.

Bottom line

• No pricing or absorption data are included in the current news release for Del Webb Lost Pines.
• To obtain a direct comparison, you’ll need to locate supplemental investor materials, contact PulteGroup for a project fact sheet, or wait for a future update that includes pre‑sales and pricing details.
• In the meantime, the general industry benchmarks above can serve as a reference point for what PulteGroup’s 55+ communities have historically achieved in other regions.
