Cash Paid for Interest, Net of Capitalized Interest [Abstract]      
Other interest expensed [1],[2] $ 91,835 $ 87,378 $ 91,344
Interest paid by our mortgage and finance subsidiaries 2,050 1,969 2,975
Increase in accrued interest (8,166) (3,961) (8,062)
Cash paid for interest, net of capitalized interest $ 85,719 $ 85,386 $ 86,257
[1] Cash paid for interest, net of capitalized interest, is the sum of other interest expensed, as defined above, and interest paid by our mortgage and finance subsidiaries adjusted for the change in accrued interest on notes payable, which is calculated as follows:
[2] Other interest expensed includes interest that does not qualify for interest capitalization because our assets that qualify for interest capitalization (inventory under development) do not exceed our debt. Also includes interest on completed homes and land in planning, which does not qualify for capitalization, and therefore, is expensed.
