Homebuilding gross margin shrank to 10.1% from 15.2%, or 13.4% from 18.3% before interest and land charges, due mainly to heavier incentives and mortgage rate buydowns used to sustain sales pace. Net income declined to $20.9 million from $28.2 million, and diluted EPS fell to $2.62 from $3.58.
Results included a $26.8 million gain from consolidating joint ventures, partly offsetting operating pressure.
