Exhibit 99.1

Beazer Homes Reports Third Quarter 2006 EPS of $2.37

Company Repurchases 1.1 Million Shares in Q3 06;

Diluted EPS Now Expected to be in the Range of $9.25 - $9.75 for Fiscal Year 2006

ATLANTA, July 27, 2006 — Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Highlights of the quarter are as follows:

Quarter Ended June 30, 2006

•                  Net income of $102.6 million, or $2.37 per diluted share, compared to net income of $112.7 million, or $2.50 per diluted share in the prior year’s third quarter.

•                  Home closings: 4,156, compared to 4,631 in the prior year.

•                  Total revenues: $1.20 billion, compared to $1.29 billion in the prior year.

•                  Operating income margin:  13.0%, compared to 13.8% in the prior year.

•                  New orders: 4,378 homes, compared to 5,202 in the prior year.

•                  Backlog at 6/30/06: 9,449 homes with a sales value of $2.85 billion, compared to 10,635 homes with a sales value of $3.12 billion at 6/30/05.

•                  Repurchased 1.07 million shares for approximately $50.1 million; year-to-date share repurchases totaled 3.09 million for $183.3 million.

“Beazer Homes delivered solid fiscal third quarter financial results in an increasingly difficult housing market,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Ian J. McCarthy. “Across the country, the housing markets that had experienced rapid price appreciation have seen significant increases in cancellation rates and resale home inventories. While it is difficult to predict the duration of these current market trends, our broad geographic and product diversity, coupled with our commitment to profitability and prudent capital allocation, should position us well for the future. We continue to believe that the long-term industry fundamentals, based on demographic driven demand and employment trends, together with further supply constraints, remain compelling.”

Total home closings declined 10.3% from the prior year as decreases in closings in the West and Florida homebuilding segments were offset partially by increases in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Other homebuilding segments. Net new home orders totaled 4,378 homes for the quarter, a decline of 15.8% from the third quarter of the prior year. Increases in several markets in the Southeast homebuilding segment and Texas in the Other homebuilding segment were offset primarily by significantly decreased new home orders in the West and Florida homebuilding segments. Conditions in each of the company’s major markets have become considerably more challenging as the seasonal strengthening of sales trends did not materialize to the extent previously anticipated and historically experienced.

The company achieved an operating income margin of 13.0% in the third quarter, a decline of 80 basis points from the prior year, as a result of a higher percentage of closings from lower margin markets, higher market driven sales incentives and costs associated with exiting markets and land option contracts no longer meeting the company’s return criteria. These costs were offset by both a reduction in warranty accruals and insurance recoveries related to progress made in resolving the Trinity Homes warranty issue.

Capital Allocation Initiatives, Liquidity and Share Repurchases

“While the current market environment is more challenging than anticipated earlier in the year, we remain focused on the value drivers which we believe will benefit us in the long term,” said James O’Leary, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. ”During the quarter, we exited a number of less profitable markets and positions while raising the liquidity required to take advantage of the opportunities that will generate meaningfully higher returns in the future.  The increase in our revolving credit facility and the two debt offerings completed this quarter meaningfully strengthened our financial position and liquidity, positioning us for the eventual upturn.  We will continue to focus on opportunistically growing our business while prudently returning capital to our shareholders during this more challenging period.”

The results for the quarter also included approximately $11 million in pre-tax charges to write off land options and exit positions that were no longer providing sufficient returns. The company also incurred approximately $1 million of additional pre-tax charges during the quarter to exit land positions and close its operations in Ft. Wayne and Lafayette, Indiana while significantly downsizing its operations in Memphis, Tenn.  Collectively, these actions will focus the company’s spending on its highest value opportunities.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the company repurchased 1,069,100 shares of its common stock under its 10 million share repurchase authorization for approximately $50.1 million or $46.88 per share. Year to date, the company has repurchased 3,090,900 shares, for a total of $183.3 million. At June 30, net debt to total capitalization stood at 52%. The company expects its net debt to capitalization ratio to be within its year-end target range of under 50% at September 30 after it completes what is its historically strongest quarter for closings and cash flow generation.

Trinity Homes Update

The company regularly reviews its estimate of the costs required to resolve the claims associated with the Trinity Homes class action lawsuit which was settled in October 2004.  During the recent quarter’s review, the company concluded that, based on the numbers of homes remediated and estimates of costs to resolve the remaining claims, approximately $15 million of accruals associated with this matter were no longer required.   Since the commencement of the remediation program, the company’s cost per home has continued to decrease as homes requiring more extensive repairs were addressed first, coupled with improvement in the internal processes and procedures as the company gained experience in addressing these issues. These improvements, which include enhanced bidding and inspection processes, have yielded meaningful benefits on a per home basis. Also during the quarter the company realized approximately $4 million in insurance and subcontractor recoveries related to reimbursement for defense, investigative and remediation costs. The company continues to aggressively pursue recovery of defense, investigative and remediation costs from both its insurance carriers and subcontractors to obtain maximum restitution.

Fiscal 2006 EPS Outlook

McCarthy concluded, “We expect continued execution of our Profitable Growth Strategy, including our share repurchase program, to result in continued profitability and enhanced shareholder value in the near and long term. Looking ahead, we do not see conditions in the housing markets improving significantly in the remainder of the fiscal year. As such, we have adjusted our expectation for our fiscal 2006 diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $9.25- $9.75. This compares to adjusted earnings per share of $8.72 in fiscal 2005.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions, changes in levels of customer demand, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in raw materials and labor costs, levels of competition, potential liability as a result of construction defect, product liability and warranty claims, the possibility that the company’s strategies to broaden target price points and lessen dependence on the entry-level product offering in certain markets will not achieve desired results, and other factors described in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 25, 2006.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to the results in this press release reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the company has provided information regarding adjusted fiscal 2005 earnings per share which excludes the effects of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2005. Management believes that this adjusted financial result is useful to both management and investors in the analysis of the company’s financial performance when comparing it to prior periods and that it provides investors with an important perspective on the current underlying operating performance of the business by isolating the impact of a non-cash adjustment related to a previous acquisition.

Below is a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted fiscal 2005 earnings per share, as well as adjusted fiscal 2005 net income used to derive adjusted fiscal 2005 earnings per share, to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP:
