Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote [Text Block]

The dollar amounts reported in this column represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Bauer, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, and do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. Bauer during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we made the following adjustments to Mr. Bauer’s total compensation for each year to determine the “compensation actually paid”:


Year	Summary Compensation Table Total for PEO ($)	Minus Reported Value of Equity Awards ($)(a)	Plus Equity Award Adjustments ($)(b)	Compensation Actually Paid to PEO ($)
2022	7,615,068	3,629,986	(1,560,681)	2,424,401

The grant date fair value of equity awards in this column represents the total of the amounts, if any, reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition or subtraction, as applicable, of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in the same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date of such awards; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction in an amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate such fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant; provided, that for purposes of this table, for performance-based awards that may be earned on the basis of a performance-based condition over the course of a three-year performance period, (a) the fair value as of the end of the first year of the performance period assumes target performance under the applicable award; (b) the fair value as of the end of the second year of the performance period is based on a probable outcome assessment of performance through the first two years of the performance period under the applicable award, with an assumed performance of no less than threshold; and (c) the fair value as of the end of the third year of the performance period is based on actual performance results under the applicable award. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:

Adjustment to Non-PEO NEO Compensation Footnote [Text Block]

The dollar amounts reported in this column are averages of the amounts of total compensation reported for Messrs. Mitchell, Keeler and Lee for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the applicable Summary Compensation Table for such NEOs.The dollar amounts reported in this column represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Messrs. Mitchell, Keeler and Lee as a group, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, and do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Messrs. Mitchell, Keeler and Lee, respectively, during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we made the following adjustments to the average total compensation of such NEOs as a group for each year to determine the “compensation actually paid”, using the same methodology described in footnote 3 above:


Year	Average Summary Compensation Table Total for Non-PEO NEOs ($)	Minus Average Reported Value of Equity Awards ($)(a)	Plus Average Equity Award Adjustments ($)(b)	Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs ($)

Additional 402(v) Disclosure [Text Block]

The dollar amounts reported in this column are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mr. Bauer for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the applicable Summary Compensation Table.TSR is calculated by dividing (i) the sum of (a) the cumulative amount of cash dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and (b) the difference between our stock price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by (ii) our stock price at the beginning of the measurement period, as equitably adjusted to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, spin-offs and other corporate changes having similar effect.Represents reported net income for each year indicated, calculated in accordance with GAAP.As described in more detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation program reflects a pay for performance culture. While we utilize several performance measures to align executive compensation with our performance, we have not presented all of such measures in the Pay Versus Performance table. Additionally, while we generally seek to incentivize long-term performance, we do not specifically align our performance measures with compensation that is actually paid, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, for a particular year.The following graphs demonstrate, for the three-year period presented, the relationship between our cumulative TSR and the cumulative TSR of our peer group, as well as the relationship between the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Bauer and our NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Bauer) and our (i) cumulative TSR, (ii) net income and (iii) adjusted pre-tax earnings, respectively. The amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Bauer and our NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Bauer) is generally consistent with our cumulative TSR over the three-year period presented in the table due to the fact that a significant portion of the “compensation actually paid” to each of our NEOs is comprised of time- and performance-based equity awards. Additionally, the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. Bauer and our NEOs as a group (excluding Mr. Bauer) is generally consistent with our net income and adjusted pre-tax earnings for the first two of the three years presented in the table. The lack of correlation between “compensation actually paid”, in each case, and both net income and adjusted pre-tax earnings for the third year presented in the table is largely due to a decline in the fair value of certain equity awards year-over-year, which is largely attributable to a material decline in the market value of our stock compared to the end of 2021, notwithstanding an increase in both net income and adjusted pre-tax earnings for 2022 compared to the prior year.

Adjusted Pre-Tax Earnings

Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block]

Adjusted pre-tax earnings is defined as income before income taxes, as reported in our consolidated financial statements for the applicable periods, adjusted to exclude (for 2021 and subsequent periods) the impact of consolidated bonus expense, land-related charges and impairments, and debt refinancing or extinguishment, and (for all periods) changes in applicable accounting standards, net income attributed to non-controlling interests, and any unusual or nonrecurring events affecting us or our financial statements that the Compensation Committee deems appropriate in its sole discretion. While we use numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for our compensation programs, we have determined that adjusted pre-tax earnings is the financial performance measure that, in our assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) that we use to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to our performance.
