Subsequent Events [Text Block] | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 10, 2014 we announced a definitive agreement to acquire the homebuilding assets and operations of Atlanta-based Legendary Communities ("Legendary"). We expect to close this transaction in the third quarter of 2014 for approximately $130 million. Legendary was founded in 2009 and builds homes primarily for first and second move-up buyers with base home prices ranging from approximately $120,000 to $550,000. Legendary closed approximately 500 homes and generated approximately $156 million of revenue in 2013. As of June 30, 2014, Legendary owned or controlled approximately 4,000 home sites, mostly through option contracts.
