We have land banking financing arrangements with a third-party land banker to repurchase land that we sold to the land banker as a method of acquiring finished lots in staged takedowns, while limiting risk and minimizing the use of funds from our available cash or other financing sources.  In consideration for this repurchase option, we paid a non-refundable commitment fee. Based on our right to control the ultimate economic outcome of these finished lots, these assets will continue to be held as real estate not owned within our inventory as shown in tabular form in Note 3 and have a corresponding obligation within our accrued liabilities as more fully discussed in Note 5 to recognize this relationship. While we are not legally obligated to repurchase the balance of the lots, we are subject to certain performance obligations, financial and other penalties if the lots are not purchased. We do not have any ownership interest or title to the assets that we have sold to the land banker and we do not guarantee any of the land banker’s liabilities.Interest and financing costs incurred under our debt obligations and financing arrangements, as more fully discussed in Note 6 and Note 5, respectively, are capitalized to qualifying real estate projects under development and homes under construction.  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, real estate inventory is evaluated for indicators of impairment by each community during each reporting period. In conducting its review for indicators of impairment on a community level, management evaluates, among other things, the margins on homes that have been closed, communities with slow moving inventory, projected margins on future home sales over the life of the community, and the estimated fair value of the land. For individual communities with indicators of impairment, additional analysis is performed to estimate the community’s undiscounted future cash flows. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are greater than the carrying value of the community group of assets, no impairment adjustment is required. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the community’s carrying value, the asset group is impaired and is written down to its fair value. We estimate the fair value of communities using a discounted cash flow model. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the real estate inventory is stated at cost; there were no inventory impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.Capitalized InterestInterest
