CROSSMANN  COMMUNITIES,  INC.  AND  SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES  TO  UNAUDITED  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS


BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION

Crossmann  Communities,  Inc.  ("Crossmann"    or    the "Company") is engaged
primarily  in  the  development,  construction,  marketing  and  sale  of  new
single-family homes for first time and first move-up buyers.  The Company also
acquires  and  develops  land  for  construction  of such homes and originates
mortgage  loans  for  the  buyers.   The Company operates in Indianapolis, Ft.
Wayne,  and  Lafayette,  Indiana;  Cincinnati, Columbus, and Dayton, Ohio; and
Louisville,  Kentucky.

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
adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
statements  have  been  included.

In  October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation,"  which is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 1996. 
SFAS  No.  123  requires  expanded  disclosures  of  stock-based  compensation
arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require) compensation
cost to be measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument awarded. 
Companies  are  permitted,  however,  to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25,
which  recognizes compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity
instrument  awarded.  The Company will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to
its  stock-based  compensation  awards  to  employees  and  will  disclose the
required  pro  forma  effect  on  net  income  and    earnings  per  share.


ITEM  2.      Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results  of  Operations.

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 subject to weather-related seasonal factors that can
affect  quarter-to-quarter  results  of  operations.    The  number  of  sales
contracts  signed tends to be higher during the first four months of the year,
creating  a  backlog that declines during the second half of the year.  A home
is  included  in "backlog" upon execution of a sales contract by the customer,
and  sales  and cost of sales are recognized when the title is transferred and
the  home  is delivered to the buyer at "closing."  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.  (The Company attempts to mitigate the effect of
winter  weather  by  building  an  inventory of foundations during the fall.) 
Results  of  operation during the first half of the year may reflect increased
costs  associated  with  adverse  weather.

In  January 1996, Crossmann began marketing homes in Dayton, Ohio.  In January
1996  Crossmann  also  began marketing new homes in several cities in southern
Indiana  from  its new office in Columbus, Indiana.  In April, Crossmann began
marketing  new  homes  in  Louisville,  Kentucky.

On  April  26,  1996, the Company closed on an asset purchase of substantially
all  the  assets  of  Tom  Peebles  Builders,  Inc.,  ("Peebles")  a  Dayton
homebuilder.    Peebles'  assets consist principally of land, model homes, and
houses  under  construction and were acquired for approximately $4 million.   
The Company  hired  substantially all the employees of Peebles and assumed its
rights  and  obligations  under purchase agreements with 50 Peebles' customers
and  in  two  land  development  joint  ventures.    The  acquisition  added
approximately  450  lots  to  Crossmann's  lot  inventory  in  Dayton.    The
transaction  was  not  material in relation to the Company's assets, sales, or
income.


THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30,  1996  COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER  30,  1995

Results  of  Operations
Sales for the three months ended  September  30, 1996  increased approximately
$10.1 million, or 17.8%, over the same period in 1995.  This increase reflects
more  homes  closed  (592 homes in 1996 as compared to 543 in 1995) and higher
selling  prices  ($113,100  per  home  for  the  period in 1996 as compared to
approximately  $104,700 in 1995).  Management attributes the increase in  unit
closings  principally  to higher closings in Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio and
to  closings  generated  in    new markets Dayton, Ohio and Southern Indiana. 
Increased  Ohio  production also causes a higher average  selling price, since
homes  sold by the Company in Ohio more frequently have basements (as a result
a  higher  selling  price)  than  homes  sold  in  Indiana.

Gross  profit  increased approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended
September  30,  1996, over the same period the year before.  Gross profit as a
percentage  of  sales  increased  to 21.37% in 1996 from 19.75% in 1995.  This
variation  in gross profit is due principally to a greater proportion of homes
built  on Crossmann's internally developed lots, and a higher capture rate for
Crossmann  Mortgage  Corp.  Moderating  interest  rates during the period also
permitted the Company to pay less than anticipated points and closing costs on
behalf  of  its  customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million during the
three  months  ended  September  30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995,
due  in  part to sales commissions on the higher sales and  increased overhead
related  to  the  Company's  new markets.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses  increased  as  a  percentage  of  sales,  from  8.62%  to  9.16%.

Interest expense was greater during the three month period ended September 30,
1996  as  compared  to the same period in 1995 due to higher overall borrowing
levels  necessitated  by  higher inventory levels.  The increase  was somewhat
offset  by  earnings  from  land  development  joint  ventures.

Income  before  income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was
approximately  $1.6  million higher, an increase of approximately 24.2%.  This
increase  is  due  principally  to  increased  sales  volume with partly fixed
selling,  general, and administrative expenses.  Income before income taxes as
a  percentage  of sales increased  to 12.0% of sales in 1996 compared to 11.4%
in  1995.

Net  income  was  $906,139  higher  for the third quarter of 1996 than for the
third  quarter  of 1995, an increase of  22.9%.  As a percentage of sales, net
income  was  7.25%  in  1996  compared  to 6.95%  for the same period in 1995.


NINE  MONTHS  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30,  1996  COMPARED  TO  THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER  30,  1995.

Results  of  Operations
Sales  for  the  nine  months ended September 30, 1996 increased approximately
$30.5 million, or 25.6%, over the same period in 1995.  This increase reflects
more  homes  closed    (1,357  homes  in 1996,  compared to 1,124 in 1995) and
higher selling prices (approximately $110,400 per home for the period in 1996,
 compared  to  approximately  $106,100  in  1995).  Management attributes both
increases  to  the  contribution of sales by the new divisions and by stronger
sales  in  Ohio.

Gross  profit  increased  approximately $7.4 million for the nine months ended
September  30,  1996, over the same period the year before.  Gross profit as a
percentage  of sales increased  to 20.88% in 1996 compared to 19.98% in 1995. 
This  variation  in gross profit is due principally to a greater proportion of
homes  built  on  Crossmann's  internally developed lots, and a higher capture
rate  for  Crossmann  Mortgage  Corp.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased approximately $4.1
million  during  the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same
period  in  1995,  due  principally  to  sales commissions on the higher sales
volume  and  to higher advertising and administrative expenses associated with
the  Company's new divisions.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as
a  percentage  of  sales  increased  from  10.4%  in  1995  to  11.0% in 1996.

Other  income increased $160,705 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
due  primarily  to  higher income from land development joint ventures than in
the same period the year before.  Interest expense was higher  in 1996 than in
1995  because  of  higher overall borrowing levels necessitated by higher land
inventories  and  more  homes  under  construction.

Income  before  income    taxes  for  the nine months ended September 30, 1996
increased  more than $3.1 million  from approximately $11.6 million in 1995 to
approximately  $14.7  million  in 1996, an increase of 26.8%. This increase is
due  primarily  to  higher  gross  margins.    Income before income taxes as a
percentage  of  sales  increased  to 9.8% of sales in 1996 compared to 9.7% in
1995.

Net  income increased 26.3% , from approximately $7 million in the first three
quarters  of 1995 to approximately $8.8 million in the first three quarters of
1996.

Backlog
The  Company generally builds only 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.

Sales  backlog  at  September 30, 1996 was 1,385 homes with an aggregate sales
value of approximately $148.4 million, compared to 927 homes with an aggregate
sales value of approximately $105.9 million at September 30, 1995, an increase
of  over  49%.    This  increase  reflects  a  higher year-end backlog (757 at
December  31,  1995  compared to 345 at December 31, 1994) and strong sales in
the  first  nine months of 1996 (1,983 new contracts written in the first half
of  1996  compared  to  1,706  in  1995,  an  increase of  16.3%).  Management
attributes  the  strong  sales improvement to the fact that it offers homes in
more  markets  in  1996.

Changes  in  Financial  Position
The  Company permitted $158,911 to be held in Crossmann Mortgage Corporation's
cash  account  to  satisfy requirements of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development  in  seeking  to  perform  its  own underwriting.  Performing this
function  in-house  will result in cost savings and greater efficiency for the
mortgage  subsidiary   but will require certain minimum levels of cash or cash
equivalents.

Inventories  increased  approximately  $44 million or 63.1% from  December 31,
1995.    Notes  payable increased approximately $24.2 million during the first
nine  months  of  1996  as  the  line  of  credit  was  employed  to  increase
inventories.

Retainages  increased  $364,909 in the first nine months of the year, or 60%. 
Mortgage  companies  retain  escrows  for the completion of exterior landscape
items during the winter and spring.  As weather permits, yards are completed. 
Mortgage  companies  inspect  the work, and the retainages are released to the
Company.

Furniture  and  equipment, net increased approximately $1.6 million dollars or
118.8%.    The  increase  is  principally  attributable  to the purchase of an
aircraft  for  use  in  the  management  of the Company.  In March,  Crossmann
purchased  a  1982  King  Air B200 for $1.295 million .  The Company formed a 
wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Deluxe  Aviation,  Inc.,  to  hold  and  manage the
aircraft,  which  will  be  available for outside charter when it is not being
used  for  company  business.


Capital  Resources  and  Liquidity
On  December  22,  1995,  the  Company issued senior notes pari passu with its
senior  bank  facility,  in  the amount of $25 million, to be repaid over nine
years  at  a  fixed  interest  rate  of 7.625%.   The  note agreement requires
compliance  with  certain financial and operating covenants and places certain
limitations  on  the Company's investments in land and in unconsolidated joint
ventures.    It  also  limits  payments  of  cash  dividends by the Company.  
Concurrent  with  the issuance of the notes, the Company also renegotiated its
$40  million  credit  agreement with Bank One, Indianapolis N.A. to permit the
issuance of the notes, streamline the covenants, and to extend the maturity of
the  banks'  credit  agreement  to  March  31,  1998.

The  Company's  financing needs depend on land acquisition, inventory turnover
and  sales volume.  Historically, the Company has financed operations with the
retention  of earnings and borrowings from financial institutions.  Management
believes  future  financing  needs  will  be  funded  by  internally generated
capital, funds available under the existing credit arrangement, and additional
financing  to  be  negotiated.


FUTURE  TRENDS

Record snow and rain in central Indiana, Ohio and northern Kentucky during the
first  half  of  1996 caused  unusual delays in scheduled land development and
construction;  therefore,    significantly  higher  levels  of production over
normal  levels  are necessary for the fourth quarter of the year.   Management
believes  most  of its backlog can be closed as scheduled, but there can be no
certainty  in  which  quarter  closings will occur.  Customers who qualify for
mortgage  loans are contractually obligated to close, regardless of weather or
production  delays.    The  Company  is  working closely with customers to set
realistic  expectations  about  closing  dates.

Management  perceives  a  need  in  certain  of  its markets for housing among
households  with  incomes  just below that necessary to qualify for one of the
Company's  single-family  detached homes.  The Company will begin construction
of    lower  cost  attached residential units in one project during the fourth
quarter  of  1996.    Additional  sites  are  being  considered  for  1997.
