Perry Homes, mapped.
I’m Eddie Weir, REALTOR® with REMAX Signature in Greater Houston. Perry Homes has been building here since 1967 — a privately held, Texas-headquartered builder with the deepest active inventory across most of Houston’s major master-planned communities. This guide is the lay of the land before you tour the model homes: where Perry builds, how the base-price-to-design-center math actually works, and how to play the on-site sales process as a buyer.
Perry Homes · Houston, Texas
What Perry Homes Is
The Texas builder with the deepest Houston bench.
Perry Homes is the largest Texas-based privately held homebuilder, founded in Houston in 1967 by Bob Perry. The company builds primarily in master-planned communities across Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. In Greater Houston specifically, Perry typically carries the deepest active inventory among production builders — they’re in nearly every major MPC, from Bridgeland and Towne Lake in Cypress to Cross Creek Ranch and Sienna in Fort Bend County to Cane Island near Katy.
What Perry Is
Texas-headquartered volume builder with 40-plus floor plans across the Houston area, the broadest price-point range of any major builder here, and predictable construction quality. Strong base-price value at the entry tier, consistent finish standards across the line, and inventory homes that typically close in 60-90 days.
What Perry Isn’t
Perry isn’t a hyper-custom builder. Floor plans come from a fixed catalog with limited structural changes, and the design center upgrade list is the upgrade list — no off-script substitutions. If you want fully customized architecture, true-custom kitchen layouts, or unusual structural elements, Perry isn’t the right match.
Who Perry Fits
First-time buyers shopping entry-tier Perry plans in the $200s-$300s, move-up families wanting predictable construction in a top-rated MPC at $400s-$500s, and relocating buyers who need to close fast using Perry’s inventory homes. Buyers who prioritize base-price value over fully bespoke design.
By the Numbers
Perry pricing, plain language.
Perry’s base prices stretch wider than any other major Houston builder — entry-tier plans in newer communities can start in the low $200s, while estate floor plans in premium MPC sections can clear $700k. The number you should actually budget for is base price plus design center plus lot premium.

Two things to watch in any Perry pricing pull. First, the base price is the base price — what you see in the brochure assumes the standard structural package plus the standard interior finish package. The design center where you pick countertops, flooring, lighting, and cabinetry runs separately and is where most Perry buyers add $30k-$80k. Second, lot premiums vary widely by community and phase — corner lots, oversized lots, and lots backing to greenbelts can run $10k-$60k above the base lot. Both lines are negotiable as part of the incentive package.
Where Perry Builds in Houston
Seven master-planned communities to start with, quickly.
Perry’s Houston footprint runs from Cypress in the northwest down to Fort Bend County in the southwest, with Katy-area representation in between. Pick the community that fits your priorities first — school district, commute, price tier — then ask which Perry plans are active there.

Bridgeland
Deepest current Perry inventory in northwest Houston. Multiple Perry plan series active across newer phases. Commute to Energy Corridor 25-35 minutes via I-10 / Beltway 8.

Standard vs. Upgrade
The three things nobody warns Perry buyers about until the design center appointment.
Perry’s standard package is solid for the price point, but the design center is where the base price stops being the actual price. I walk every Perry buyer through these three before signing the contract.
What’s Standard at Perry
Granite or quartz kitchen countertops (level varies by community), full sod yards, garage door opener, standard appliance package, builder-grade flooring. The standard package is level-1 across most categories — functional, but upgrades are how a Perry home reaches “shows like a model home” quality.
The Design Center Reality
The design center appointment is a closed-room negotiation. Bring your buyer’s agent, bring a cap on total design spend, and know which categories actually return value at resale. Kitchen counters, primary bathroom finishes, and flooring typically deliver resale value. Light fixtures, decorative tile, and trim packages rarely do.
The Lot Premium Math
Lot premiums at Perry communities can run $10k to $60k+ above the base lot. The standing-water question matters: lots that drain poorly or sit at a low elevation relative to neighboring lots can flood even when the community as a whole doesn’t. Walk the lot during a rain event if possible. Pull the elevation certificate.
Why People Pick Perry Homes
Volume, value, and a predictable close timeline.
Perry’s pull combines breadth of inventory, the lowest base-price tier among the major Houston builders for any given community, and a reputation for consistent construction quality across the line. If you need to close in 60-90 days using an inventory home, Perry typically has the most options of any builder in Greater Houston. If you’re shopping by base price in a top-rated MPC like Bridgeland or Cross Creek Ranch, Perry usually wins the comparison against David Weekley, Highland, and Toll Brothers at the entry-to-mid tier.
On the buyer-agent side, Perry plays the standard new-construction game. The on-site sales agent at any Perry model home represents Perry, not you — their job is to maximize Perry’s margin. As your buyer’s agent I register on day one of model-home tours, before the on-site team claims the lead, and negotiate the incentive package, rate buy-down, design-center allowance, and any phase-end concessions on your behalf. Perry pays my commission out of its marketing budget, not out of your purchase price. The math works in your favor whether or not you bring an agent — but only one side of the table has someone advocating for the buyer.
Perry Homes FAQ
The questions Perry buyers actually ask.
Is Perry Homes a good builder?
For volume production at predictable construction quality, yes. Perry has been building in Houston since 1967, carries the deepest active inventory of any major builder in Greater Houston, and offers the broadest base-price range from entry-tier to estate. Trade-offs: Perry isn’t a custom builder, the design center upgrade list is fixed, and the standard finish package is level-1 across most categories.
What’s the average price of a Perry Home in Houston?
Perry’s Houston base prices range from the low $200s in entry-tier communities like Sunterra and Marvida up to $700k+ in estate sections of Bridgeland and Towne Lake. Most Perry buyers land between $350k and $550k on the base price, then add $30k-$80k at the design center.
Which Houston master-planned communities have Perry Homes?
Perry builds in 15+ Houston-area master-planned communities including Bridgeland, Cross Creek Ranch, Sienna, Aliana, Cane Island, Towne Lake, Sunterra, Marvida, Harvest Green, and several others. Plan availability and price tier vary by community and phase.
What’s standard vs. upgrade at a Perry Home?
Perry’s standard package typically includes granite or quartz kitchen counters, full sod yards, builder-grade flooring, a standard appliance package, and a garage door opener. Upgrades cover counter level-ups, hardwood or LVP flooring extensions, primary bathroom finishes, lighting packages, structural options (extended garages, sunrooms), and the design center catalog. Most buyers add $30k-$80k beyond the base price.
How long does it take Perry to build a home in Houston?
A Perry dirt-start home typically takes 6-9 months from contract to close depending on the community and current build queue. Inventory homes (already started or completed) close in 30-90 days. If your timeline is tight, ask for the inventory list at your first model-home visit.
Does Perry Homes negotiate price?
Perry rarely cuts the base price directly. The negotiation happens on the incentive package — rate buy-downs, closing cost credits, design-center allowance, and lot premium concessions. As your buyer’s agent I push on those line items at every phase, especially at quarter-end and phase-end when Perry has stronger reasons to move inventory.
Do I need a REALTOR® to buy a Perry Home?
Yes. The on-site sales agent at any Perry model home represents Perry, not you. As your buyer’s agent I register on day one before the on-site team claims the lead, negotiate the incentive package and rate buy-down, walk through design-center decisions to keep your spend on value-returning categories, and review the contract before signing. Perry pays my commission out of its marketing budget — it doesn’t come out of your purchase price.
What’s Perry Homes’ warranty?
Perry offers a tiered warranty: 10-year structural, 2-year systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), and 1-year workmanship coverage. The actual coverage scope is in the warranty document — read it before signing, especially the structural piece, since “structural” has a narrow legal definition that’s tighter than most buyers expect.
