Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]  
Variable Interest Entities Variable Interest Entities
The Company holds investments in certain limited partnerships and similar entities that conduct land acquisition, and land development in various markets where the Company’s homebuilding operations are located, which are considered variable interests. The Company’s investments create a variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), depending on the contractual terms of the arrangement. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into option contracts with third-party land bank entities and certain unconsolidated entities for the ability to acquire rights to finished lots for the construction of homes.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs, other than the lot option contracts discussed below were $12.1 million and $11.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its investment in the entities because the Company is not obligated to provide them with any additional capital and does not guarantee any of their debt or other liabilities. Jet HomeLoans, previously an investment in unconsolidated VIEs accounted for under the equity method, is consolidated in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements beginning July 1, 2024, when the remaining 40% interest was acquired. Refer to Note 2, Acquisitions for more information.
Under lot option contracts, the Company typically makes a specified earnest money deposit in consideration for the right to purchase finished lots in the future, usually at a predetermined price. The Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the land bank entities with which it enters into lot option contracts and therefore the Company does not consolidate any of these entities. The Company’s risk of loss related to finished lot option and land bank option deposits and related fees was $650.4 million and $551.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
