Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Earnings (loss) per share attributable to Anywhere Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed based on net income (loss) attributable to Anywhere stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed consistently with the basic computation plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares include shares that the Company could be obligated to issue from its Exchangeable Senior Notes and warrants if dilutive (see Note 9, "Short and Long-Term Debt", for further discussion) and outstanding stock-based compensation awards (see Note 13, "Stock-Based Compensation", for further discussion). For purposes of computing diluted earnings (loss) per common share, weighted average common shares do not include potentially dilutive common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As such, the shares that the Company could be obligated to issue from its stock options, warrants and Exchangeable Senior Notes are excluded from the earnings (loss) per share calculation if the exercise or exchangeable price exceeds the average market price of common shares. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of outstanding stock-based compensation. If dilutive, the Company uses the if converted method to calculate the dilutive effect of its Exchangeable Senior Notes. These notes will have a dilutive impact when the average market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the initial exchange price of $24.49 per share. The Exchangeable Senior Notes were not dilutive as of December 31, 2024 as the closing price of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2024 was less than the initial exchange price. The Company was in a net loss position for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Therefore, the impact of incentive equity awards was excluded from the computation of dilutive loss per share as the inclusion of such amounts would be anti-dilutive. Stock Repurchases The Company may repurchase shares of its common stock under authorizations from its Board of Directors. Shares repurchased are retired and not displayed separately as treasury stock on the consolidated financial statements. The par value of the shares repurchased and retired is deducted from common stock and the excess of the purchase price over par value is first charged against any available additional paid-in capital with the balance charged to retained earnings. Direct costs incurred to repurchase the shares are included in the total cost of the shares. The Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $300 million of the Company's common stock in February 2022. From the date of authorization through December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 8.8 million shares of common stock for $97 million. The Company has not repurchased any shares under the share repurchase program since 2022. As of December 31, 2024, $203 million remained available for repurchase under the share repurchase program. The purchase of shares under this plan reduces the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in the basic earnings per share calculation. The Company is subject to limitations on share repurchases, which include compliance with the terms of our debt agreements.
