Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | Information on Segments We operate in two segments: traditional home building and urban infill. We build and sell detached and attached homes in luxury residential communities located in affluent suburban markets that cater to move-up, empty-nester, active-adult, age-qualified, and second-home buyers in the United States (“Traditional Home Building”). We also build and sell homes in urban infill markets through City Living. We have determined that our Traditional Home Building operations operate in five geographic segments: North, Mid-Atlantic, South, West, and California. The states comprising each geographic segment are as follows: North: Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York Mid-Atlantic: Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia South: Florida, North Carolina, and Texas West: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington California: California In fiscal 2018, we acquired land and commenced development activities in the Salt Lake City, Utah and Portland, Oregon markets. We expect to open communities in these markets by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Revenue and income (loss) before income taxes for each of our segments, for the periods indicated, were as follows (amounts in thousands):
