Century Communities CFO Scott Dixon commented, "Assuming no significant changes to the current economic environment, we currently expect our full year 2026 new home deliveries to be in the range of 10,000 to 11,000 homes and our homes sales revenues to be in the range of $3.6B-$4.1B. Our current guidance reflects an increase in our average open communities in the mid-single digit percentage range and similar per community absorption levels as the back half of 2025."
