Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Disclosures FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date”. Fair value is determined based on the principal market for the asset or liability, or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. The principal market is the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the assets or liability, regardless of whether the Company ultimately transacts in that market. As a result, a fair value determined under this exit price concept may differ from the transaction price or quoted market price for the asset or liability.
ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, expands disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, and establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques. The hierarchy requires the use of observable inputs when available and the minimization of unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis occur when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, including impairment of long-lived assets and inventory. These nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant observable inputs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $4.7 million of impairment charges related to inventory, which were recorded in inventory on the consolidated balance sheets and cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations. Of the total impairment charge, $2.4 million was related to our Florida reportable segment and $2.3 million was related to our Central reportable segment. The impairment charges were measured at fair value and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the impaired assets was determined using valuation techniques that included discounted cash flow models and other market-based approaches. Significant unobservable inputs used in these valuations included estimated future selling prices, projected costs, absorption rates, expected holding periods and discount rates reflecting market participant assumptions. Changes in these assumptions could have a material impact on the estimated fair value and the amount of impairment recognized.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and certain accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
As of March 31, 2026, the carrying value of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement approximated fair value due to the variable interest rate, which adjusts based on market interest rates and the Company’s leverage ratio.
The fair value of the 2028 Senior Notes, the 2029 Senior Notes, the 2032 Senior Notes and the LGI Living Loan Agreement was estimated by discounting future contractual cash flows using market rates for similar instruments within the homebuilding industry. The fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
