Best of Central California 2026 Gold WinnerFresno, CA – It’s official: McCaffrey Homes has been named the Gold Winner for Best Homebuilder in The Fresno Bee’s 2026 Best of Central California, which honors and recognizes the best businesses, restaurants, and experiences across the Central California region.  This is the 16th time McCaffrey Homes has been voted a “Best Homebuilder”.  

The level of competition reached new heights this year, with more than 4,400 organizations nominated across the Valley.  The contest generated over 1.2 million votes — a 25% increase from the previous year, according to The Fresno Bee

“Earning the Gold Award for Best Homebuilder among such an outstanding field of nominees is an honor we celebrate with deep gratitude and pride,” said Brent McCaffrey, President of McCaffrey Homes. “This is a rewarding endorsement of our efforts to provide a quality home and service to our customers and the communities in which we build.”  

“We want to give a heartfelt thank you to our team, business partners, and homeowners for their continued support over the years. It is especially meaningful to receive the Gold award during our company’s 50th anniversary,” McCaffrey added.

For 50 years, McCaffrey Homes has built homes and communities in California’s Central Valley, offering choices for first-time buyers, move-up families, and empty nesters. The company has been repeatedly honored for the quality of its construction, design, land planning, and customer service. In 2014, co-founders Robert and Karen McCaffrey were inducted into the prestigious California Homebuilding Foundation Hall of Fame. Tesoro Viejo, a master-planned community co-founded by McCaffrey Homes, was awarded the 2023 National Community of the Year by the National Association of Home Builders.

McCaffrey Homes currently has new homes for sale in four neighborhoods at Tesoro Viejo, the master-planned community in Madera, California, and will introduce its first community in Kerman, California, later this year.  With three generations of experience, the McCaffrey team has built more than 10,000 homes and has been honored nationally and locally for the quality of its construction and service.
