Risks

• Increased competition levels in the homebuilding and mortgage lending industries could result in a reduction in our new contracts and homes delivered, along with decreases in the average sales prices of sold and delivered homes and/or decreased mortgage originations, which would have a negative impact on our results of operations.
• A reduction in the availability of mortgage financing or a significant increase in mortgage interest rates or down payment requirements could adversely affect our business.
• If land is not available at reasonable prices or terms, our homes sales revenue and results of operations could be negatively impacted and/or we could be required to scale back our operations in a given market.
• Our land investment exposes us to significant risks, including potential impairment charges, that could negatively impact our profits if the market value of our inventory declines.
• Supply shortages and risks related to the demand for skilled labor and building materials could increase costs and delay deliveries.
• Tax law changes could make home ownership more expensive and/or less attractive.
• Our limited geographic diversification could adversely affect us if the demand for new homes in our markets declines.
• Changes in energy prices may have an adverse effect on the economies in certain markets we operate in and our cost of building homes.
