DALLAS, Oct. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Landsea Homes Corporation (Nasdaq: LSEA) ("Landsea Homes" or the "Company"), a publicly traded residential homebuilder, announced today that the Company is expanding into the Colorado housing market through the acquisition of the assets and lot inventory of Richfield Homes.

"We are very excited about this transaction, as it provides Landsea with a unique opportunity to establish a presence in one of the best housing markets in the country," said John Ho, Chief Executive Officer of Landsea Homes. "This is another step forward in our ongoing plans to create communities in desirable locations across the United States and provide high-quality homes where residents can enjoy 'Living in their Element.'"

Veteran Colorado homebuilding executive Lisa Wiebelhaus has been named President of the new Landsea Homes Colorado division.  She joins Landsea Homes after working with Richfield Homes for more than seven years, most recently serving as Managing Partner.
Prior to joining Richfield Homes, she worked for twelve years as Vice President of Sales for Colorado-based Richmond American Homes, where she sold and closed upwards of 1100 homes per year. A graduate of Colorado State University, Lisa lives in Denver with her husband and their children. 

"We are very pleased to welcome Lisa to the Landsea Homes senior management family," said Ho. "With nearly two decades of homebuilding experience in Colorado, she has a wealth of strategic insight, strong management skills and deep local roots that will help us successfully launch this new division."

"Landsea Homes' exceptional reputation for innovative homebuilding and strong commitment to customer service are well known throughout our industry," said Wiebelhaus. "I'm excited and honored to join Landsea Homes, and look forward to continuing to grow our position in the Colorado market by providing homebuyers with the perfect opportunities to experience the High Performance Home lifestyle." 

Landsea Homes' High Performance Home features include smart home automation technology utilized by the Apple HomeKit™ environment and energy saving to make life at home healthier and more comfortable.  The smart home automation features include an Apple® HomePod mini™, wireless network Internet throughout the home, entry door locks, thermostat control, garage door opener control, light dimmer switches, doorbell camera pre-wire, and white glove service with an individualized training session through Best Buy's Geek Squad. 

Colorado becomes the seventh homebuilding market for Landsea Homes, including Arizona, Florida, New York Metro, Northern California, Southern California and Texas.  Continued low inventory and pent-up demand are forecast to continue, extending a housing market with strong fundamentals. Additionally, changing demographics could continue to bolster the market, as millennials are expected to become a strong force, with many reaching their peak homebuying years in the coming years.
