Dom Development (DOM) — the future bets
Scale in homebuilding wins the best land and the steadiest contractors — but a developer never fully controls its own volume, because buyers must borrow.
Dom Development has stated the target plainly: annual sales of roughly 5 000 units, on a two-to-three-year horizon1. That would be a substantial step up for a company whose recent years have run nearer 4,000, and the first half of 2026 suggests it is not fanciful — 2 382 net units sold, up 17% year on year, the best half in the company's history, with the second quarter marking an eighth consecutive quarter above 1 000 units2.
Scale matters more in homebuilding than it looks. Volume is what wins the best land, because sellers of large plots prefer buyers who can close without financing conditions; it is what secures contractor capacity at stable prices in a market where construction costs have swung violently; and it is what spreads the fixed cost of design, permitting and sales offices across more units. A developer selling 5 000 homes a year in Poland would be operating at a scale no domestic rival matches.
The honest qualifier is that a homebuilder does not fully control its own volume. Units get sold when buyers can borrow, and the current run rate owes a great deal to falling rates. Watch quarterly net sales against the roughly 1 250-a-quarter pace that 5 000 implies3, and watch the offer — the number of units actually available to buy — because a sales target without launches behind it is arithmetic rather than a plan.
The run rate is already close to two-thirds of the target, with eight consecutive quarters above a thousand units and the best half in company history. Scale compounds in this industry — better land access, steadier contractor pricing, fixed costs spread wider. It narrows the moment mortgage availability turns, because volume is the buyer's decision, not Dom's.
Twice the half-year figure is the annual pace; 2 500 a half would put 5 000 within reach.
