Real Estate Inventories Real Estate Inventories
Real estate inventories are summarized as follows:
September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
(dollars in thousands)
Deposits and pre-acquisition costs $ 119,638  $ 99,702 
Land held and land under development 480,265  272,825 
Homes completed or under construction 790,142  692,126 
Model homes 18,232  57,073 
Total real estate inventories $ 1,408,277  $ 1,121,726 
Deposits and pre-acquisition costs include land deposits and other due diligence costs related to potential land acquisitions. Land held and land under development includes costs incurred during site development such as development, indirect costs, and permits. Homes completed or under construction and model homes include all costs associated with home construction, including land, development, indirect costs, permits, materials, and labor.
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, real estate inventories are stated at cost, unless the carrying amount is determined not to be recoverable, in which case inventory is written down to its fair value. The Company reviews each real estate asset at the community-level, on a quarterly basis or whenever indicators of impairment exist. The Company generally determines the estimated fair value of each community by using a discounted cash flow approach based on the estimated future cash flows at discount rates that reflect the risk of the community being evaluated. The discounted cash flow approach can be impacted significantly by the Company’s estimates of future home sales revenue, home construction costs, pace of homes sales, and the applicable discount rate.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.8 million of real estate inventories impairment charges related to one community in the Florida segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $4.7 million of real estate inventories impairment charges related to one community in the California segment. In both instances, the Company determined that additional incentives and persistent discounts were required to sell the remaining homes, which was the primary reason the estimated future cash flows for the community were driven below their previous carrying values. No impairments were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Real estate inventories impairment charges are recorded to cost of home sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
