Inventory Disclosure [Abstract] |
Owned Inventory | Owned Inventory The components of our owned inventory are as follows as of September 30, 2025 and 2024:
in thousands | As of September 30, 2025 |  | As of September 30, 2024
Homes under construction | $ | 692,327 |  |  | $ | 754,705 |
Land under development | 1,065,702 |  |  | 1,023,188 |
Land held for future development | 19,489 |  |  | 19,879 |
Land held for sale | 47,368 |  |  | 19,086 |
Capitalized interest | 131,845 |  |  | 124,182 |
Model homes | 72,702 |  |  | 99,600 |
Total owned inventory | $ | 2,029,433 |  |  | $ | 2,040,640 |
Homes under construction include homes substantially finished and ready for delivery and homes in various stages of construction, including costs of the underlying lot, direct construction costs and capitalized indirect costs. As of September 30, 2025, we had 1,800 homes under construction, including 1,078 spec homes totaling $417.4 million (577 in-process spec homes totaling $201.8 million, and 501 finished spec homes totaling $215.6 million). As of September 30, 2024, we had 2,315 homes under construction, including 1,154 spec homes totaling $360.9 million (827 in-process spec homes totaling $231.4 million, and 327 finished spec homes totaling $129.5 million). Land under developmen t consists principally of land acquisition, land development and other common costs. These land related costs are allocated to individual lots on a pro-rata basis, and the lot costs are transferred to homes under construction when home construction begins for the respective lots. Certain of the fully developed lots in this category are reserved by a customer deposit or sales contract. Land held for future development consists of communities for which construction and development activities are expected to occur in the future or have been idled and are stated at cost unless facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. All applicable carrying costs, such as interest and real estate taxes, are expensed as incurred. Land held for sale includes land and lots that do not fit within our homebuilding programs or strategic plans in certain markets, and land is classified as held for sale once certain criteria are met (refer to Note 2). These assets are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The amount of interest we are able to capitalize depends on our qualified inventory balance, which considers the status of our inventory holdings. Our qualified inventory balance includes the majority of our homes under construction and land under development but excludes land held for future development and land held for sale (see Note 5 for additional information on capitalized interest). Total owned inventory by reportable segment and Corporate and unallocated is presented in the table below as of September 30, 2025 and 2024:

(a) Amount represents capitalized interest and indirects balance that was impaired. Capitalized interest and indirects are maintained within Corporate and unallocated. Projects in Progress Impairments Projects in progress inventory includes homes under construction and land under development grouped together as communities. Projects in progress are stated at cost unless facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We assess our projects in progress inventory for indicators of impairment at the community level on a quarterly basis. If indicators of impairment are present for a community with more than ten homes remaining to close, we perform a recoverability test by comparing the expected undiscounted cash flows for the community to its carrying value. If the aggregate undiscounted cash flows are in excess of the carrying value, the asset is considered to be recoverable and is not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds the aggregate undiscounted cash flows, we perform a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of the community, and impairment charges are recorded if the fair value of the community's inventory is less than its carrying value. Valuation assumptions for communities tested for impairment are specific to each community. For projects in progress impaired during the periods presented, we determined the fair value of each community by discounting its estimated future cash flows at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the underlying community. The discount rate used depends on (1) community specific factors such as product types, development stage and expected duration of the project, and competitive factors influencing the sales performance of the community, (2) local market factors such as employment levels, consumer confidence and existing supply of new and used homes for sale, and (3) other specific factors. The estimated future cash flows for each community were determined based on the expected pace of closings and average sales price less expected costs for land acquisition and land development, direct construction, overhead and interest. The assumptions used in the determination of fair value of projects in progress communities are based on factors known to us at the time such estimates are made and our expectations of future operations and market conditions. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, the significant volatility in market conditions, the long life cycles of many communities, and potential changes in our strategy related to certain communities, actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, we performed discounted cash flow analyses to determine the fair value of two projects in progress communities, one in our Phoenix market and the other in our Orlando market. These analyses led to an $8.6 million projects in progress impairment charge, principally due to a reduction in price driven by the competitive and market dynamics. No projects in progress impairments were recognized during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The following table presents, by reportable segment and Corporate and unallocated, details of the impairment charges taken on projects in progress for the period presented:

(a) Amount represents the capitalized interest and indirects balances that were impaired. Capitalized interest and indirects are maintained within Corporate and unallocated. (b) Projects in progress assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that their carrying value is not recoverable. The fair val ue of projects in progress is determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of our fair value measurements and hierarchy levels. The following table presents the ranges or values of significant quantitative unobservable inputs we used in determining the fair value of the communities impaired during the period presented:
$ in thousands |
Unobservable Inputs | Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2025
Average selling price | $360 - $444
Closings per community per month | 1 - 6
Discount rate | 15.0 | %
Land Held for Sale Impairments Impairments on land held for sale generally represent write downs of these properties to fair value less cost to sell based on executed sales contracts, current sales prices for comparable assets in the area, recent market analysis studies, appraisals, recent legitimate offers and listing prices of similar properties, as applicable. Absent an executed sales contract, our assumptions related to land sales prices are based on factors known to us at the time such estimates are made and require significant judgment because the real estate market is highly sensitive to changes in economic conditions, and our estimates of sale prices could differ significantly from actual results. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, our reviews of various communities led to a decision to sell certain lots that no longer aligned with our strategic plans. As a result of changes in strategy, we reclassified 131 lots from projects in progress to land held for sale and recognized a land held for sale impairment charge of $2.7 million during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 related to communities in our Phoenix, San Antonio, and Houston markets. No land held for sale impairment charges were recognized during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The following table presents, by reportable segment and Corporate and unallocated, details of the impairment charges taken on land held for sale for the period presented:
$ in thousands | Results of Impairment Analysis

(a)Amount represents the capitalized interest and indirects balances that were impaired. Capitalized interest and indirects are maintained within Corporate and unallocated. (b) Land held for sale assets are measured at fair value less cost to sell on a non-recurring basis when events and circumstances indicate that their carrying value is not recovera ble. The fair values of land held for sale assets are determined using Level 3 unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of our fair value measurements and hierarchy levels. Abandonments From time to time, we may determine to abandon lots or not exercise certain option agreements that are not projected to produce adequate results or no longer fit with our long-term strategic plan. Additionally, in certain limited instances, we are forced to abandon lots due to seller non-performance, permitting or other regulatory issues that do not allow us to build on those lots. If we intend to no longer pursue the purchase of property, we record an abandonment charge to earnings for the non-refundable deposit amount and any related capitalized costs in the period such decision is made. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $1.6 million, $2.0 million and $0.6 million in abandonment charges, respectively. As we grow our business in the years ahead, the dollar value of abandonment charges may also grow.
