The average sales price of new orders in the third quarter of 2021 was $442,000, an increase of 15% when compared with the third quarter of 2020.

Our backlog of homes sold but not settled as of September 30, 2021 was flat on a unit basis at 12,145 units and increased on a dollar basis by 15% to $5.37 billion when compared to the respective backlog unit and dollar balances as of September 30, 2020.
Homebuilding revenues of $2.34 billion in the third quarter of 2021 increased by 22% compared to homebuilding revenues of $1.92 billion in the third quarter of 2020. Gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2021 increased to 22.2%, compared to 20.0% in the third quarter of 2020.

Mortgage Banking

Income before tax from the mortgage banking segment totaled $39.0 million in the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of 25% when compared to $51.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in secondary marketing gains.

The effective tax rates in each period were favorably impacted by the recognition of an income tax benefit related to excess tax benefits from stock option exercises totaling $9.2 million and $37.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $17.8 million and $80.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Other Matters - COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on all facets of our business. Our primary focus as we face this challenge is to do everything we can to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and trade partners. In each of our markets, we continue to operate in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as state and local health department guidelines, which has resulted in significant changes to the way we conduct business.
Although current demand for new homes is strong, there remains uncertainty regarding the extent and timing of disruption to our business that may result from COVID-19 and related governmental actions. There is also uncertainty as to the effects of economic relief efforts on the U.S. economy, unemployment, consumer confidence, demand for our homes and the mortgage market, including lending standards and secondary mortgage markets. We are unable to predict the extent to which this will impact our operational and financial performance including the impact of future developments such as the duration and spread of COVID-19, corresponding governmental actions, and the impact of such on our employees, customers and trade partners.
