The following is our response to your comment letter dated March 1, 2017, relating to the above referenced filing of PulteGroup, Inc. filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

We note your response to comment 1 of our letter dated February 17, 2017. We believe the revised tabular roll-forward you intend to provide in future filings will enhance your disclosures related to self-insurance reserves; however, please also revise your narrative disclosures under critical accounting policies to address the assumptions related to and the reasons for material changes in reserves provided during each period presented.

We will include the revised tabular rollforward reflected in our letter dated February 17, 2017, in future filings beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2017, along with enhanced narrative disclosures under critical accounting policies to address the key assumptions related to and the reasons for material changes in self-insurance reserves during each period presented, as applicable.

We acknowledge that PulteGroup, Inc. is responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of our disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action, or absence of action by the staff.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss any questions you may have regarding this response at your convenience. You may contact me at (404) 978-6417.
