Product Warranties Disclosures [Abstract]

Schedule of Product Warranty Liability

The table set forth below summarizes accrual, adjustment and payment activity related to our warranty accrual for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The warranty accrual increased due to the increase in the number of home closings, which was partially offset during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 by adjustments to our per home warranty accrual rate due to lower than expected general warranty related expenditures in certain close of escrow years.
