Cash and Cash Equivalents Disclosure [Text Block] | 6. Restricted Cash and Customers' Deposits Homebuilding "Restricted cash and cash equivalents" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $8.4 million and $13.4 million as of October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which primarily consists of cash collateralizing our letter of credit agreements and facilities (see Note 9). Financial services restricted cash and cash equivalents, which are included in "Financial services" assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $30.5 million and $36.1 million as of October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Included in these balances were (1) financial services customers’ deposits of $28.1 million and $29.7 million as of October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are subject to restrictions on our use, and (2) restricted cash under the terms of our mortgage warehouse lines of credit of $2.4 million and $6.4 million as of October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Homebuilding "Customers’ deposits" are shown as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These liabilities are significantly more than the applicable periods’ restricted cash balances because in some states the deposits are not restricted from use and, in other states, we are able to release the majority of these customer deposits to cash by pledging letters of credit and surety bonds.
