Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	14. Commitments and Contingencies Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds In the normal course of business, the Company posts letters of credit and performance bonds related to our land development performance obligations with local municipalities. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $53.7 million and $34.0 million, respectively, in letters of credit and performance bonds issued and outstanding. Litigation The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business, which consist primarily of construction defect claims. It is the opinion of management that if the claims have merit, parties other than the Company would be, at least in part, liable for the claims, and eventual outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. When we believe that a loss is probable and estimable, we record a charge to selling, general, and administrative on our consolidated statements of operations for our estimated loss. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any claims and lawsuits will have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.
