INCOME TAXES	6 Months Ended
Jun. 30, 2018
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 25.2% and 22.9%, respectively, compared to 28.7% and 31.1% for the same periods in 2017, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, special deductions and credits relating to home building activities, uncertain tax positions, and discrete tax adjustments related to certain deferred tax assets and liabilities. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was favorably impacted by the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”), the relevant provisions of which became effective on January 1, 2018. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), the Company recorded provisional tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the write-down of our existing deferred tax assets and the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings related to the sale of our Canadian business in 2015. In the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a $1.0 million reduction to the provisional tax expense for the mandatory repatriation of foreign earnings. The adjustment to the provisional tax expense during the quarter was a result of the filing of foreign income tax returns and the issuance of additional guidance from the IRS interpreting various provisions of the Tax Act. Our accounting of the Tax Act is still a provisional estimate and further adjustments may be necessary in 2018 due to changes in our interpretation of the Tax Act and the issuance of additional guidance by various regulatory bodies. We expect our final accounting for the Tax Act under SAB 118 to be completed when we finalize our 2017 income tax returns. At both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, cumulative gross unrecognized tax benefits were $12.9 million. If the unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2018 were to be recognized, approximately $10.3 million would affect the effective tax rate. We had $1.3 million and $1.0 million of gross interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions accrued as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
