Homes completed or under construction is comprised of costs associated with homes in various stages of construction and includes direct construction and related land acquisition and land development costs. Land under development primarily consists of land acquisition and land development costs, which include capitalized interest and real estate taxes, associated with land undergoing improvement activity. Land held for future development principally reflects land acquisition and land development costs related to land where development activity has not yet begun or has been suspended, but is expected to occur in the future.
Real estate inventories not owned includes deposits related to land purchase and land and lot option agreements. For further details on deposits, see Note 6, Variable Interest Entities. In addition, real estate inventories not owned includes land sold under a land bank financing arrangement for which we retained a repurchase option.

Interest is capitalized to real estate inventory during development and other qualifying activities. During all periods presented, we capitalized all interest incurred to real estate inventory in accordance with ASC Topic 835, Interest, as our qualified assets exceeded our debt. Interest that is capitalized to real estate inventory is included in cost of home sales or cost of land and lot sales as related units or lots are delivered. Interest that is expensed as incurred is included in other (expense) income, net.
Real Estate Inventory Impairments and Land Option Abandonments
Real estate inventory impairments and land and lot option abandonments and pre-acquisition charges consisted of the following (in thousands):

2026202520262025
Real estate inventory impairments$8,435 $11,000 $8,435 $11,000

Total$19,734 $13,096 $20,802 $14,169 
Impairments of real estate inventory relate primarily to projects or communities that include homes completed or under construction. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded real estate inventory impairment charges of $8.4 million, comprised of $6.5 million in the West reporting segment, and $1.9 million in the East reporting segment. These impairment charges related to active communities where the carrying value of the communities exceeded the fair value based on a discounted cash flows analysis, with the discount rates used to calculate fair value ranging from 10% to 12%. We considered both market risk and community-specific risk to arrive at a discount rate appropriate for the level of total risk associated with this community. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a real estate inventory impairment charge of $11.0 million related to one active community in the West reporting segment where the carrying value of the community exceeded the fair value based on a discounted cash flows analysis. The impairment charge occurred in our second quarter reporting period, and the discount rate used to calculate fair value was 12%. We considered both market risk and community-specific risk to arrive at a discount rate appropriate for the level of total risk associated with this community.
In addition to owning land and residential lots, we also have option agreements to purchase land and lots at a future date. We have option deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with the optioned land and lots. When the economics of a project no longer support acquisition of the land or lots under option, we may elect not to move forward with the acquisition. Option deposits and capitalized pre-acquisition costs associated with the assets under option may be forfeited at that time. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, land and lot option abandonments and pre-acquisition charges included a $9.0 million charge related to optioned lots for a community in the West reporting segment where we elected not to move forward with the acquisition.
Real estate inventory impairments and land option abandonments are recorded in cost of home sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
