Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES For a complete set of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Changes in significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 are presented below. Receivables Receivables consist of amounts collectible from manufacturing rebates earned by our homebuilders during the normal course of business, amounts collectible from third-party escrow agents related to closings on land, lot and residential unit sales, and amounts collectible related to mechanics lien contracts, as well as income tax receivables. Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests The Company accounts for VIEs in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). In accordance with ASC 810, an entity is a VIE when: (a) the equity investment at risk in the entity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by other parties, including the equity holders; (b) the entity’s equity holders as a group either (i) lack the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity, (ii) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity and (iii) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the entity’s equity holders have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of the equity holder with disproportionately few voting rights. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE pursuant to ASC 810, the enterprise that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or right to receive benefits from the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company performs ongoing reassessments of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in Equity of Consolidated Subsidiary Redeemable noncontrolling interest in equity of consolidated subsidiary represents equity related to a put option held by a minority shareholder of a subsidiary. Based on the put option structure, the minority shareholder’s interest in the controlled subsidiary is classified as a redeemable noncontrolling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The accretion of the redeemable noncontrolling interest to its redemption value is recorded in additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs represent costs incurred related to the revolving and unsecured credit facilities, including amendments thereto, and reduce the carrying amount of debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These costs are capitalized to inventory over the term of the related debt facility using the straight-line method. Segment Information In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), an operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. A reportable segment is an operating segment, either separately defined or aggregated from several operating segments based on similar economic and other characteristics, that exceeds certain quantitative thresholds of ASC 280. The Company identifies its CODM as four key executives - the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President of Texas Region and Chief Accounting Officer. In determining the reportable segments, the CODM considers similar economic and other characteristics, including geography, class of customers, product types, and production processes. Business Combinations Acquisitions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Following the determination that control of a business and its inputs, processes and outputs was obtained in exchange for cash, all material assets and liabilities of the business, including contingent consideration, are measured and recognized at fair value as of the date of the acquisition to reflect the purchase price. Depending on the fair value of net assets acquired, the purchase price allocation may or may not result in goodwill. Goodwill The excess of the purchase price of a business acquisition over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is capitalized as goodwill in accordance with ASC 805. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if certain impairment indicators are present. We perform our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter or whenever impairment indicators are present. Intangible Assets Intangible assets, net consists of the estimated fair value of acquired home construction contracts and trade name. A high degree of judgment is made by management regarding assumptions, such as revenue growth rates, profitability, and discount rates, when calculating the value of the intangible assets. The identified home construction contracts intangible asset is amortized to cost of residential units as income on the related contracts is earned, over a period of two years. The trade name has a definite life of and is amortized over ten years. Income Taxes We establish reserves for uncertain tax positions that reflect our best estimate of deductions and credits that may not be sustained on a more-likely-than-not basis. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax provision in the consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest and penalties, if any, are included within accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions have a more-likely-than-not chance of being sustained by the Company. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Revenue Recognition Contracts with Customers The Company derives revenues from two primary sources: the closing and delivery of homes through our builder operations segments and the sale of lots to homebuilders through our land development segment. All of our revenue is from contracts with customers. Contract Assets The Company requires homebuyers to submit a deposit for home purchases and requires third-party builders to submit a deposit in connection with land sale or lot option contracts. The deposits serve as a guarantee for performance under homebuilding and land sale or development contracts. Cash received as customer deposits is reflected as customer and builder deposits on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Performance Obligations The Company’s contracts with homebuyers contain a single performance obligation. The performance obligation is satisfied when homes are completed and legal title has been transferred to the buyer. The Company does not have any variable consideration associated with home sales transactions. Lot option contracts contain multiple performance obligations. The performance obligations are satisfied as lots are closed and legal title has been transferred to the builder. For lot option contracts, individual performance obligations are accounted for separately. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. Certain lot option contracts require escalations in lot price over the option period. Any escalator is not collectible until the lot closing occurs. While we recognize lot escalators as variable consideration within the transaction price, we do not recognize escalator revenue until a builder closes on a lot subject to an escalator as the escalator relates to general inflation and holding costs. Occasionally, the Company sells developed and undeveloped land parcels. If the land parcel is developed prior to the sale of the land, the revenue is recognized at closing since we deliver a single performance obligation in the form of a developed parcel. We also recognize revenue at closing on undeveloped land parcel sales as there are no other obligations beyond delivering the undeveloped land. Homebuyers are not obligated to pay for a home until the closing and delivery of the home. The selling price of a home is based on the contract price adjusted for any change orders, which are considered modifications of the contract price. Homebuilders are not obligated to pay for developed lots prior to control of the lots and any associated improvements being transferred to them. The term of our lot option contracts is generally based upon the number of lots being purchased and the agreed upon lot takedown schedule, which can be in excess of one year. Lots cannot be taken down until development is substantially complete. There is no significant financing component related to our third-party lot sales. The Company does not sell warranties outside of the customary workmanship warranties provided on homes or developed lots at the time of sale. The warranties offered to homebuyers and to buyers of developed lots are short term, with the exception of ten-year warranties on structural concerns for homes. As these are assurance-type warranties, there is no separate performance obligation related to warranties provided. Significant Judgments and Estimates There are no significant judgments involved in the recognition of completed home sales. The performance obligation of delivering a completed home is satisfied upon the sale closing when title transfers to the homebuyer. There are no significant judgments involved in the recognition of land sales or developed lot sales. The performance obligation of delivering land or developed lots is satisfied upon the closing of the sale when title transfers to the homebuilder. Contract Costs The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects to recover those costs. The Company pays sales commissions to employees and/or outside realtors related to individual home sales which are expensed as incurred at the time of closing. Commissions on the sale of land parcels are also expensed as incurred upon closing. The Company also pays quarterly builder incentives to employees which are based on the time it takes to build individual homes, as well as quality inspection completion and customer satisfaction. The builder incentives do not represent incremental costs that would require capitalization as we would incur these costs whether or not we sold the home. As such, we recognize builder incentives as expense at the time they are paid. Advertising costs, sales salaries and certain costs associated with model homes, such as sales office construction and signage, do not qualify for capitalization under ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, as they are not incremental costs of obtaining a contract. As such, we expense these costs to selling, general and administrative expense as incurred. Costs incurred related to model home furnishings are capitalized and included in property and equipment, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Selling, General and Administrative Expense Selling, general and administrative expense represents salaries, benefits, share-based compensation, property taxes, depreciation, amortization, advertising and marketing, rent, and other administrative items, and is recorded in the period incurred. Interest Expense Interest expense consists primarily of interest costs incurred on our debt that are not capitalized, and amortization of debt issuance costs. We capitalize interest costs incurred to inventory during active development and other qualifying activities. Debt issuance costs are capitalized to inventory over the term of the underlying debt using the straight-line method, in accordance with our interest capitalization policy. All interest costs were capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017. Other Income, Net Other income, net primarily consists of net revenue from contracts where we are the general contractor and where our homebuyer, and not our Company, owns the land and improvements (“mechanics lien contracts”), net revenue from third parties for title and settlement services, and interest earned. We recognize revenue on our mechanics lien contracts over time as the performance obligations are met. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), on January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 was codified into ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018, which required the cumulative effect of the initial application of the new standard, if any, to be reflected as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosures expanded significantly under ASC 606, specifically related to the quantitative and qualitative information about performance obligations, information about contract balances, changes in contract assets and liabilities and disaggregation of revenue. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income and there was no cumulative effect on the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09, costs related to model home furnishings are no longer capitalizable as inventory; however, such costs are capitalizable as fixed assets. As of September 30, 2018, $1.9 million of model home furnishings costs were included in property and equipment, net compared to $1.1 million included in inventory as of December 31, 2017. The related depreciation expense of $1.3 million is included in selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as opposed to $0.9 million included in cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not require significant changes to the Company's internal controls and procedures over financial reporting and disclosures. However, we have made enhancements to existing internal controls and procedures to ensure continued compliance with the disclosure requirements of the new standard. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting across all industries by clarifying certain existing principles including providing additional guidance on what an entity should consider in determining the classification of certain cash receipts and payments. This standard was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The standard provides a more robust framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or dispositions of assets or businesses. This standard was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The standard provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASU 2017-09. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. This standard was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”), by issuing ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of income. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. We expect to adopt the new standard on January 1, 2019 and use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to elect the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. We do not expect to elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also expect to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. While we continue to assess all of the effects of adoption, we believe the most significant effects relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our office and equipment operating leases and (2) providing new disclosures about our leasing activities. We do not expect a significant change in our leasing activities between now and adoption. Upon adoption, we expect to recognize additional operating liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be determined by the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Receivables Receivables consist of amounts collectible from manufacturing rebates earned by our homebuilders during the normal course of business, amounts collectible from third-party escrow agents related to closings on land, lot and residential unit sales, and amounts collectible related to mechanics lien contracts, as well as income tax receivables.
Consolidation, Variable Interest Entity, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests The Company accounts for VIEs in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). In accordance with ASC 810, an entity is a VIE when: (a) the equity investment at risk in the entity is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by other parties, including the equity holders; (b) the entity’s equity holders as a group either (i) lack the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity, (ii) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity and (iii) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the entity’s equity holders have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of the equity holder with disproportionately few voting rights. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE pursuant to ASC 810, the enterprise that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or right to receive benefits from the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company performs ongoing reassessments of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
Debt, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs represent costs incurred related to the revolving and unsecured credit facilities, including amendments thereto, and reduce the carrying amount of debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill The excess of the purchase price of a business acquisition over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is capitalized as goodwill in accordance with ASC 805. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if certain impairment indicators are present. We perform our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter or whenever impairment indicators are present.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Intangible Assets Intangible assets, net consists of the estimated fair value of acquired home construction contracts and trade name. A high degree of judgment is made by management regarding assumptions, such as revenue growth rates, profitability, and discount rates, when calculating the value of the intangible assets. The identified home construction contracts intangible asset is amortized to cost of residential units as income on the related contracts is earned, over a period of two years.
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block]	Contracts with Customers The Company derives revenues from two primary sources: the closing and delivery of homes through our builder operations segments and the sale of lots to homebuilders through our land development segment. All of our revenue is from contracts with customers. Contract Assets The Company requires homebuyers to submit a deposit for home purchases and requires third-party builders to submit a deposit in connection with land sale or lot option contracts.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), on January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 was codified into ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09, costs related to model home furnishings are no longer capitalizable as inventory; however, such costs are capitalizable as fixed assets. As of September 30, 2018, $1.9 million of model home furnishings costs were included in property and equipment, net compared to $1.1 million included in inventory as of December 31, 2017. The related depreciation expense of $1.3 million is included in selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as opposed to $0.9 million included in cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not require significant changes to the Company's internal controls and procedures over financial reporting and disclosures.

This standard was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. The standard provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASU 2017-09.

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We expect to elect the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also expect to elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. While we continue to assess all of the effects of adoption, we believe the most significant effects relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our office and equipment operating leases and (2) providing new disclosures about our leasing activities. We do not expect a significant change in our leasing activities between now and adoption. Upon adoption, we expect to recognize additional operating liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A goodwill impairment will now be determined by the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
