A Florida homebuilder is making its Arizona debut with the purchase of nearly 300 lots on opposite ends of metro Phoenix.

Dream Finders Homes Inc. (NYSE: DFH) secured the last piece of Phase IV at Bella Vista Farms master-planned community in San Tan Valley and took another 36.57 acres at El Cidro in Goodyear.

The firm’s land banker, Terra Firma Capital Corp., paid $20.4 million to Dallas-based Landsea Homes Corp. (Nasdaq: LSEA) for 160 lots west of the southwest corner of Cotton Lane and Elwood Street at El Cidro in Goodyear, according to Tempe-based real estate database Vizzda LLC.

“With a high demand for platted and engineered lots in the Phoenix metro area, we saw a great opportunity to diversify our portfolio and sell a parcel in El Cidro to Dream Finders Homes,” said Heather Cammiso, Arizona Division President of Landsea Homes, which also sold 102 lots at El Cidro to Miami-based Lennar Corp. (NYSE: LEN) for $14.01 million in cash last fall.

In the San Tan Valley, Terra Firma paid $6.36 million to Scottsdale-based El Dorado Holdings Inc. for 122 lots north of the northeast corner of Gantzel and Bella Vista roads in Bella Vista Farms, according to Vizzda.
