The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
prepared  in  accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and  Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements
do  not  include  all  of  the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted  accounting  principles  for  complete  financial statements.  In the
opinion  of  the  Company,  all  adjustments  (consisting  of normal recurring
accruals)  considered  necessary  to present fairly the consolidated financial
statements  have  been  included.

ITEM  2.    MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS.

Management's  discussion  and  analysis  may  include certain "forward-looking
statements,"  as  defined  in  the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.    Such  statements  may involve unstated risks, uncertainties and other
factors  that  may  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially.

The Company's business and the homebuilding industry in general are subject to
changes  in  economic  conditions,  including,  but not limited to, employment
levels,  interest rates, the availability of credit, and consumer confidence.
The    Company's  success over the past several years has been influenced by a
variety  of  factors  including favorable economic conditions in its principal
markets,  the  availability of capital for expansion, and low interest rates.
To  the  extent  these  conditions  do  not  continue, the Company's operating
results  may  be  adversely  affected.

The  Company's  business  is  also subject to weather-related seasonal factors
that  can  affect  quarter-to-quarter results of operations.   Adverse weather
conditions  during  the first and second quarters of the year usually restrict
site  development work, and construction limitations generally result in fewer
closings  during  this period.   Results of operation during the first half of
the year also tend to reflect increased costs associated with adverse weather.
 Warmer,  dryer  weather  during the second half of the year generally permits
higher  closings  and  greater  field  efficiency.


RESULTS  OF  OPERATION:  THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE
THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30,  1998.

Sales increased approximately $54.2 million, or 46.4%, to approximately $171.0
million in the third quarter of 1999 from approximately $116.8 million for the
same  period  in  1998.   Sales were higher primarily as a result of increased
home  closings;  1,434 homes were closed in the third quarter of 1999 compared
to  1,031 homes closed during the third quarter of 1998.  Part of the increase
in  closings  is  attributable  to  Crossmann's  presence  in  new  markets:

</TABLE>



Excluding  the  new  markets,  the  Company closed 267 more units in the third
quarter  of  1999  than  in  the second quarter of 1998, an increase of 28.7%.

Gross profit increased approximately $10.2 million, or 40.4%, to approximately
$35.4  million  for the third quarter of 1999 from approximately $25.2 million
for  the  third  quarter  of 1998.  This represents a gross margin of 20.7% of
sales  in the third quarter of 1999 as compared to 21.6% of sales in the third
quarter  of  1998. The lower margin in 1999 is due in part to increased use of
financing  assistance programs in 1999 compared to 1998 and to higher indirect
field  costs  and  interest  incurred to achieve the higher production level.
Some commodity prices were higher in the quarter, but, in general, these costs
were  offset  by  increased  prices  to  the  consumer.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased approximately $4.4
million,  or  37.8%,  to  approximately $16.1 million for the third quarter of
1999  from  approximately  $11.7  million  for the third quarter of 1998. This
increase  is  principally  increased  sales  commissions  on  the higher sales
volume.    It  also  reflects  increased  overhead  incurred to achieve higher
production.    Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  declined as a
percentage  of  sales  to  9.4% in the third quarter of 1999 from 10.0% in the
third  quarter  of  1998.

Other  income  net  of  expenses  decreased approximately $1.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, from approximately $3.2 million in 1998
to approximately $2.1 million in 1999.  The decrease was due to lower earnings
from land development joint ventures and other miscellaneous sources.  Trinity
Homes LLC ("Trinity"), a homebuilding joint venture in Indianapolis, generated
approximately $1.0 million, even with the $1.0 million it contributed in 1998.

Income  before   income taxes  increased approximately $4.5 million, or 27.5%,
to  approximately $20.9 million. The Company's effective tax rate was 39.4% in
the  third quarter of 1999 as compared to 39.8% in the third quarter of 1998.
Net  income  increased  approximately $2.8 million, or 28.3%, to approximately
$12.6  million.   Net income as a percentage of sales decreased to 7.4% in the
third  quarter  of  1999,  compared  to  8.4%  in  the  third quarter of 1998.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATION:  NINE  MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE
NINE  MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30,  1998.

Sales  increased  approximately  $133.3  million,  or  50.4%, to approximately
$397.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from approximately
$264.4  million  for  the  nine  months  ended September 30, 1998.  Sales were
higher  primarily  as  a  result  of increased home closings; 3,372 homes were
closed  in  the  nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to 2,322 homes
closed  during  the  nine months ended September 30,1998.  Selling prices were
also  higher,  approximately  $118,000  per  home  for  the  nine months ended
September  30,  1999  as  compared  to  approximately $113,900 during the same
period  in  1998.    Part  of  the  increase  in  closings  is attributable to
Crossmann's  presence  in  new  markets:

</TABLE>



Excluding these new markets, the Company closed 651 more units in 1999 than in
1998,  an  increase  of  29.7%.

Gross profit increased approximately $25.3 million, or 45.2%, to approximately
$81.4  million.  This represents a gross margin of 20.5% of sales in the first
nine  months of 1999 as compared to 21.2% of sales in the first nine months of
1998.  The  lower  margin in 1999 is due in part to increased use of financing
assistance  programs  in  1999  compared  to 1998 and to higher indirect field
costs  and  interest  incurred  to  achieve the higher production level.  Some
commodity prices were higher in the quarter, but, in general, these costs were
offset  by  increased  prices  to  the  consumer.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses increased approximately $11.6
million,  or  38.0%,  to  approximately  $42.0  million.  This  increase  is
principally increased sales commissions on the higher sales volume.  Crossmann
also  incurred  higher advertising and administrative expenses associated with
the  higher  level of production and required by the Company's new divisions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales declined
to 10.6% in the first nine months of 1999, compared to 11.5% in the first nine
months  of  1998.

Other  income  net  of  expenses  decreased  approximately  $250,000,  from
approximately  $4.7 million for the first nine months of 1998 to approximately
$4.5  million in 1999.  Trinity contributed approximately $2.4 million in 1999
compared  to  approximately  $1.6  million  in  1998.

Income before income taxes increased approximately $12.9 million, or 44.0%, to
approximately  $42.3  million.   The Company's effective tax rate was 39.7% in
the first nine months of 1999 as compared to 39.7% in the first nine months of
1998.    Net  income  increased  approximately  $7.8  million,  or  44.1%,  to
approximately $25.5 million.  Net income as a percentage of sales decreased to
6.4%  in  1999,  down  from  6.7%  in  1998.

CHANGES  IN  FINANCIAL  POSITION

Inventory
Real  estate inventories increased approximately $64.4 million, or 30.0%, from
their  December  31,  1998  level.   The expansion in inventory reflects heavy
building  activity on homes in backlog, many of which are expected to close by
year  end.  It also reflects land acquisition and development activity for the
year  2000  and  beyond.

Goodwill
Goodwill  increased  approximately $2.2 million or 14.5% during the first nine
months  of  1999 due primarily to the acquisition of Homes by Huff & Co., Inc.
in  June  of  this  year.


Notes  Payable
Notes  payable  increased  approximately  $43.6  million during the first nine
months  of  1999  as  borrowings were used to finance real estate inventories,
acquisitions,  and  joint  venture  investments.

CAPITAL  RESOURCES  AND  LIQUIDITY

At  September 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $3.9 million in cash and
cash  equivalents.

The  Company's  primary  uses  of  capital are home construction costs and the
purchase  and development of land.  Real estate inventories were approximately
$278.6  million,  or 79.6% of total assets, at September 30, 1999, compared to
$214.2  million  or  75.5%  of total assets at December 31, 1998.   Capital is
also  used for the addition and improvement of equipment used in administering
the  business  and  for  model  home  furnishings.

Cash  expenditures  are financed with cash from operations and with borrowings
on  a $100.0 million unsecured line of credit, with Bank One, Indiana, N.A. as
agent.    The line of credit bears interest at the banks's prime lending rate,
but  permits  portions  of  the  outstanding balance to be committed for fixed
periods  of  time  at  a  rate  equal to LIBOR plus 1.45%. The credit facility
matures  March 31, 2002.  At September 30, 1999, $78.2 million was outstanding
on  this  line.
The Company also has approximately $66.7 million in senior notes outstanding.
Of  this total, $16.7 million is payable through 2004 at a fixed interest rate
of  7.625%, payable quarterly.  On  December 21, 1999, the Company will make a
scheduled  reduction    in the outstanding principal balance of these notes of
$2,777,778.    Crossmann has an additional $50.0 million in notes outstanding,
payable  through  2008  at a fixed interest rate of 7.75%, payable quarterly.
Annual  principal  reductions  of  $8,333,334  begin  June  11,  2003.

The  note  agreements  and  the  bank  line  of credit require compliance with
certain financial and operating covenants and place certain limitations on the
Company's  investments  in  land  and  unconsolidated  joint  ventures.    The
agreements  also  restrict  payments of cash dividends on the common shares by
the  Company.

The  Company's  credit arrangements are expected to provide adequate liquidity
for  planned  internal growth and capital expenditures.  In the event that the
Company seeks to accelerate growth through the acquisition of large parcels of
land  or  of other homebuilding companies, additional capital may be needed.
The  Company  believes that such capital could be obtained from banks or other
financing alternatives, from the issuance of additional shares, or from seller
financing;  however, there can be no assurances that the Company would be able
to  secure  the  necessary  capital.

BACKLOG

A  home  is  included  in  "backlog" upon execution of a sales contract by the
customer; sales and cost of sales are recognized when the title is transferred
and  the  home  is delivered to the buyer at "closing." The  Company generally
builds upon the execution of a sales contract by a customer and after approval
of  financing,  although  it  also  builds  a  limited  number  of  homes  on
speculation.   The standard sales contract used by the Company provides for an
earnest  money deposit of $1,000.  The contract usually includes a termination
provision under which the earnest money is refunded in the event that mortgage
financing is not available on terms specified in the contract, and may include
other  contingencies.    Cancellations by buyers with approved financing occur
infrequently.

Backlog at September 30, 1999 was 2,508 homes with an aggregate sales value of
approximately  $295.0 million, compared to 2,346 homes with an aggregate sales
value  of approximately $266.0 million at September 30, 1998.  The increase in
the  number  of  homes in backlog is approximately 6.9%.  Starting backlog was
higher, with 1,744 in backlog at January 1, 1999, compared to 1,080 at January
1,  1998.  New  orders  in  the first nine months of 1999 were higher as well:
4,136  contracts  were written in the first nine months of 1999 as compared to
3,588 in 1998, an increase of 15.3%.  In addition, Crossmann acquired 66 homes
in  backlog  with  its  acquisition  of  Huff.


YEAR  2000  SYSTEM  REQUIREMENTS

Risks  presented  by  the  year  2000  Issue.
Crossmann's  management  believes  that  the  Company's  core  selling  and
construction  operations  are  largely  unautomated  and  would  continue
uninterrupted  even in the event of Year 2000 problems.  As for accounting and
administration,  the  Company's software is largely not date-dependent.  Dates
are  carried  for  informational  purposes  and  are  not  generally  used  in
computations.

Systems  testing.
The  manufacturer  of the computer on which Crossmann's central accounting and
management  information  systems  resides  has certified that its hardware and
operating system software are Year 2000 compliant.  The Company's applications
software  has  been tested in the course of normal maintenance.  The Company's
programmers  have  identified those few instances where dates are compared and
have  initiated  corrections to handle the date change properly. Equipment and
software  peripheral  to  Crossmann's central system have also been tested for
Year  2000  compliance.    Management  believes that replacements and upgrades
required  have  been  completed.

Costs.
The  cost and timing of upgrades to hardware and software corrections were not
materially  different  than  normally  scheduled  upgrades.

Contingency  plans.
Management's  contingency  plans,  which are intended to enable the Company to
continue  to  operate  normally  in  the  event  of  a system failure, include
performing  some  procedures  manually,  changing suppliers, if necessary, and
repairing  or  obtaining  replacement  systems.

OTHER  BUSINESS  CONDITIONS

Inflation
The Company, as well as the homebuilding industry in general, may be adversely
affected  during  periods  of high inflation, primarily because of higher land
and  construction  costs.    To date, inflation has not had a material adverse
effect  on  the  Company's  business,  financial  condition,  and  results  of
operations.    However,  there  is no assurance that inflation will not have a
material adverse impact on the Company's future business, financial condition,
and  results  of  operations.

Interest  Rates
Mortgage  loan interest rates have climbed during the year.  From their low of
approximately  6.7% in January, mortgage rates had climbed 100 basis points by
September.  The Company has experienced many such interest rate changes in its
history  and  responds  to  them  by  counseling  customers  from  fixed-rate
instruments to adjustable-rate mortgage products.  The Company may also assist
by  contributing  funds  to  lock  in  or  buy down rates, thus protecting the
customer  from  significant  interest rate fluctuation.  These measures impact
margins  but  secure  the  Company's  backlog.    These  strategies  have been
effective in the past; however, there is no assurance that interest rates will
not have a material adverse impact on the Company's future business, financial
condition,  and  results  of  operations.

Weather
The  Company's  business  is subject to weather-related seasonal factors which
can  affect quarterly results of operations.  Heavy storms along the North and
South  Carolina  coast affected selling and production activity in Crossmann's
Myrtle  Beach  market.    Disruptions due to weather did not materially effect
third quarter closings or production for the fourth quarter; however, weather
may have been a factor in slower sales for this market during the quarter.  It
is not now clear whether hurricane activity and the publicity surrounding such
storms  will  have  an  effect  on  sales  in  this  market  in  the  future.



FUTURE  TRENDS

Orders for the third quarter were 910 this year compared to 1,143 in the third
quarter  of 1998, down 20%.  This is the first downward order comparison in 10
consecutive quarters;   management believes this  softening of orders reflects
higher  interest  rates  and  a  generally  tighter  monetary policy this year
compared  to the  period last year.  Crossmann's management is monitoring this
trend  closely  to  plan  for  next  year's  volume and to develop appropriate
strategy.
