Donald Horton built the company from a single Texas market in 1978 into the largest homebuilder in the United States by volume, concentrating on entry-level and first-move-up buyers. Homebuilding is inventory management under interest-rate risk: land is purchased years ahead and homes are built into demand that mortgage rates can change abruptly. Mortgage rate buydowns funded by the builder have become a routine sales tool. Land option contracts limit capital tied up in raw ground. Headquarters are in Arlington, Texas.

A protective put caps your downside on the DHI position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current DHI option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share DHI position at $145.68 is worth $728,400. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $14,568 to $29,136) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off DHI's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.
