Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company is a national homebuilder that is primarily engaged in the acquisition and development of land and the construction and sale of residential homes, with operations in 78 markets in 26 states across the United States. The Company designs, builds and sells single-family detached homes on lots it develops and on fully developed lots purchased ready for home construction. To a lesser extent, the Company also builds and sells attached homes, such as townhomes, duplexes, triplexes and condominiums. Periodically, the Company sells land and lots to other developers and homebuilders where it has excess land and lot positions or for other strategic reasons. The homebuilding segments generate most of their revenues from the sale of completed homes and to a lesser extent from the sale of land and lots. The Company’s financial services segment primarily provides mortgage financing and title agency services to homebuyers in many of the Company’s homebuilding markets. The Company sells substantially all of the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. The financial services segment primarily generates its revenues from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance agency and closing services. The Company’s 39 homebuilding operating divisions and its financial services operations are its operating segments. The homebuilding operating segments are aggregated into six reporting segments and the financial services operating segment is its own reporting segment.
