LGI Homes increased closings and supported margins by retiring older inventory, cutting costs, and applying incentives selectively, HousingWire reported. With entry-level buyers still highly sensitive to monthly payments, the company is expanding its community count and managing the age of its specs to improve conversion, according to HousingWire. LGI’s operating approach focuses on creating conditions where affordability-minded buyers eventually feel that waiting carries a cost, without relying on artificial scarcity. HousingWire said the builder delivered 1,440 homes, including leased-home dispositions, up 9% year over year. HousingWire also reported that homebuilding revenue increased 4% to $502 million. LGI ended June with 151 active communities, already at the low end of its year-end guidance range, and posted a 19.8% homebuilding gross margin and a 23.2% adjusted gross margin.
