Revenue recognized over time represents revenue from mechanic’s lien contracts.

Contract Balances

Opening and closing contract balances included in customer and builder deposits on the consolidated balance sheets are as follows (in thousands):

	December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Customer and builder deposits	$	38,131	$	23,954

The difference between the opening and closing balances of customer and builder deposits results from the timing difference between the customer’s payment of a deposit and the Company’s performance, impacted slightly by terminations of contracts. 

The amount of deposits on residential units and land and lots held as of the beginning of the period and recognized as revenue during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

	2020		2019
Type of Customer
Homebuyers	$	14,149	$	8,981
Homebuilders	5,929		3,417
Total deposits recognized as revenue	$	20,078	$	12,398

As a result of the GRBK GHO business combination, customer deposits from homebuyers in the amount of $9.1 million were acquired, of which $8.2 million was recognized during the period from April 26, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

Performance Obligations

There was no revenue recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations on our land sale and lot option contracts is $16.7 million. The Company will recognize the remaining revenue when the lots are taken down, or upon closing for the sale of a land parcel, which is expected to occur as follows (in thousands):

2021	$	14,825
2022	1,826
Total	$	16,651

The timing of lot takedowns is contingent upon a number of factors, including customer needs, the number of lots being purchased, receipt of acceptance of the plat by the municipality, weather-related delays, and agreed-upon lot takedown schedules.

Our contracts with homebuyers have a duration of less than one year. As such, the Company uses the practical expedient as allowed under ASC 606 and has not disclosed the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of the end of the reporting period.
