Interest [Abstract] |
Interest | 10. Interest Interest is capitalized to inventories while the related communities are being actively developed and until homes are completed. As our qualifying assets exceeded our outstanding debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we capitalized all interest costs incurred during these periods, except for interest incurred on our Repurchase Facilities. Our interest costs are as follows (in thousands): ﻿
