Business Combinations [Abstract]  
Business Combinations Business CombinationsOn January 15, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interest of Garrett Walker Homes (“GWH”) for cash consideration of approximately $133.4 million. GWH is a residential homebuilder located in Phoenix, Arizona focused on building entry-level, single-family detached homes in the Northwest Valley and Phoenix metropolitan. The total assets of GWH include approximately 20 projects and 1,750 lots in various stages of development.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from our acquisition of GWH were measured and recognized at fair value as of the date of the acquisition to reflect the purchase price paid.
Acquired inventories consist of land, land deposits, and work in process inventories. The Company determined the estimate of fair value for acquired land inventory using a forecasted cash flow approach for the development, marketing, and sale of each community acquired. Significant assumptions included in our estimate were future development costs, construction and overhead costs, mix of products, as well as average selling price ("ASP"), and absorption rates. The Company estimated the fair value of acquired work in process inventories based upon the stage of production of each unit and a profit margin that a market participant would require to complete the remaining production and requisite selling efforts. On the acquisition date, the stage of production for each lot ranged from recently started lots to fully completed homes. The intangible asset acquired relates to the GWH trade name, which is estimated to have a fair value of $1.6 million and is being amortized over three years. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill of $15.4 million was recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of this transaction and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. The acquired goodwill is included in the Arizona reporting segment in Note 13, Segment Information. The Company incurred transaction related costs of $0.4 million related to the GWH acquisition in the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The Company's results of operations include homebuilding revenues of $41.3 million, and income before tax inclusive of purchase price accounting and corporate G&A allocation, of $2.0 million, from GWH in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (dollars in thousands).
