2024 2023
(dollars in thousands)
Deposits and pre-acquisition costs $ 96,611  $ 99,702 
Land held and land under development 492,707  272,825 
Homes completed or under construction 729,335  692,126 
Model homes 20,429  57,073 
Total real estate inventories $ 1,339,082  $ 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 home sales, and the applicable discount rate.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $0.8 million of real estate inventories impairment charges related to one community in its Florida segment. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $4.7 million of real estate inventories impairment charges related to one community in its California segment. In both instances, the Company determined that additional incentives and persistent discounts were required to sell the remaining homes. This was the primary reason the estimated future cash flows for the communities were driven below their previous carrying values. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not recognize any impairments on real estate inventories. Real estate inventories impairment charges are recorded to cost of home sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
The table below provides quantitative data for Level 3 inputs used in determining the fair value of the impaired inventory. The table presents the quarter during the respective year in which the impairment occurred.
