Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Comstock” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Such financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For further information and a discussion of our significant accounting policies, other than discussed below, refer to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Comstock Holding Companies, Inc., incorporated in 2004 as a Delaware corporation, is a multi-faceted real estate development and construction services company focused in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area (Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C.). We have substantial experience with building a diverse range of products, including multi-family homes, single-family homes, townhouses, mid-rise condominiums, high-rise multi-family condominiums and mixed-use (residential and commercial) developments. References in this Form 10-Q to “Comstock,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. together in each case with our subsidiaries and any predecessor entities unless the context suggests otherwise. The Company’s Class A common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “CHCI” and has no public trading history prior to December 17, 2004. Throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, amounts are in thousands, except per share data, number of units, or as otherwise noted. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, comprehensive income (loss) equaled net income (loss); therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income (loss) is not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources We require capital to operate, to post deposits on new potential acquisitions, to purchase and develop land, to construct homes, to fund related carrying costs and overhead and to fund various advertising and marketing programs to generate sales. These expenditures include payroll, community engineering, entitlement, architecture, advertising, utilities and interest as well as the construction costs of our homes. Our sources of capital include, and we believe will continue to include, private equity and debt placements (which has included significant participation from Company insiders), funds derived from various secured and unsecured borrowings to finance acquisition, development and construction on acquired land, cash flow from operations, which includes the sale and delivery of constructed homes, finished and raw building lots and the potential sale of public debt and equity securities. The Company is involved in ongoing discussions with lenders and equity sources in an effort to provide additional growth capital to fund various new business opportunities. See Note 13 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more details on our credit facilities and Note 11 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for details on private placement offerings. We have outstanding borrowings with various financial institutions and other lenders that have been used to finance the acquisition, development and construction of real estate projects. The Company has generally financed its development and construction activities on a single or multiple project basis so it is not uncommon for each of our projects or collection of our projects to have a separate credit facility. Accordingly, the Company typically has had numerous credit facilities and lenders. As of June 30, 2017, $32.6 million of the Company’s outstanding credit facilities and project related loans mature at various periods through the end of 2017. We are in active discussions with our lenders seeking long term extensions and modifications to these loans. These debt instruments impose certain restrictions on our operations, including speculative unit construction limitations, curtailment obligations, and financial covenant compliance. If we fail to comply with any of these restrictions, an event of default could occur. Additionally, events of default could occur if we fail to make required debt service payments or if we fail to come to agreement on an extension on a certain facility prior to a given loan’s maturity date. Any event of default would likely render the obligations under these instruments due and payable as of that event. Any such event of default would allow certain of our lenders to exercise cross default provisions in our loan agreements with them, such that all debt with that institution could be called into default. We are anticipating that with the successful resolution of the debt extension discussions with our lenders, capital raises from our private placements, current available cash on hand, and additional cash from settlement proceeds at existing and under development communities, the Company will have sufficient financial resources to sustain its operations through the next 12 months, though no assurances can be made that the Company will be successful in its efforts. The Company will also continue to focus on its cost structure in an effort to conserve cash and manage expenses. Such actions may include cost reductions and/or deferral arrangements with respect to current operating expenses. Use of Estimates Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts for the reporting periods. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and judgements on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU No. 2014-09 will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year, which would make the guidance effective for the Company’s first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017. Additionally, the FASB has also decided to permit entities to early adopt the standard, which allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective methods of adoption, for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the available methodologies of ASU 2014-09 upon its consolidated financial statements including disclosures in future reporting periods. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new standard against its existing accounting policies, including the timing of revenue recognition, and its contracts with customers to determine the effect the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and what changes to systems and controls may be warranted. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The core principle of the standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business”, which provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is a business. The standard requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This standard reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. ASU 2017-01 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-01 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 reduces both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when changing the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We assessed other accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and deemed they were not applicable to us and are not anticipated to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |

Warranty Reserve | 3. WARRANTY RESERVE Warranty reserves for units settled are established to cover potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to arise during the typical one-year warranty period provided by the Company or within the two-year statutorily mandated structural warranty period for condominiums. Because the Company typically subcontracts its homebuilding work, subcontractors are required to provide the Company with an indemnity and a certificate of insurance prior to receiving payments for their work. Claims relating to workmanship and materials are generally the primary responsibility of the subcontractors and product manufacturers. The warranty reserve is established at the time of closing, and is calculated based upon historical warranty cost experience and current business factors. This reserve is an estimate and actual warranty costs could vary from these estimates. Variables used in the calculation of the reserve, as well as the adequacy of the reserve based on the number of homes still under warranty, are reviewed on a periodic basis. Warranty claims are directly charged to this reserve as they arise. The following table is a summary of warranty reserve activity which is included in ‘Accounts payable and accrued liabilities’ within the consolidated balance sheets: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Balance at beginning of period $ 278 $ 314 $ 288 $ 312 Additions 46 42 96 86 Releases and/or charges incurred (42 ) (62 ) (102 ) (104 ) Balance at end of period $ 282 $ 294 $ 282 $ 294 |

Capitalized Interest and Real Estate Taxes | 4. CAPITALIZED INTEREST AND REAL ESTATE TAXES Interest and real estate taxes incurred relating to the development of lots and parcels are capitalized to real estate inventories during the active development period, which generally commences when borrowings are used to acquire real estate assets and ends when the properties are substantially complete or the property becomes inactive. A project becomes inactive when development and construction activities have been suspended indefinitely. Interest is capitalized based on the interest rate applicable to specific borrowings or the weighted average of the rates applicable to other borrowings during the period. Interest and real estate taxes capitalized to real estate inventories are expensed as a component of cost of sales as related units are sold. The following table is a summary of interest and real estate taxes incurred and capitalized and interest and real estate taxes expensed for units settled: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Total interest incurred and capitalized $ 1,249 $ 857 $ 2,275 $ 1,593 Total real estate taxes incurred and capitalized 139 95 179 117 Total interest and real estate taxes incurred and capitalized $ 1,388 $ 952 $ 2,454 $ 1,710 Interest expensed as a component of cost of sales $ 558 $ 414 $ 1,009 $ 706 Real estate taxes expensed as a component of cost of sales 57 52 117 101 Interest and real estate taxes expensed as a component of cost of sales $ 615 $ 466 $ 1,126 $ 807 The amount of interest from entity level borrowings that we are able to capitalize in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 835 is dependent upon the average accumulated expenditures that exceed project specific borrowings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company expensed $0 of interest from entity level borrowings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company expensed $304 and $512, respectively, of interest from entity level borrowings. Additionally, when a project becomes inactive, its interest, real estate taxes and indirect production overhead costs are no longer capitalized but rather expensed in the period they are incurred. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, there were no inactive projects, therefore, no interest or real estate taxes were expensed. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company expensed $2 and $10 of interest and real estate taxes related to inactive projects. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share | 5. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE The weighted average shares and share equivalents used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Restricted stock awards, stock options and warrants are included in the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the periods, unless their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As a result of the net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2017, approximately 23 restricted stock awards and 15 warrants were included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share. As a result of the net income attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2017, approximately 32 restricted stock awards and 20 warrants were included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no anti-dilutive shares, therefore, no shares were excluded from the computation of dilutive loss per share. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Disclosures | 6. SEGMENT DISCLOSURES We operate our business through three segments: Homebuilding, Multi-family, and Real Estate Services. We are currently focused on the Washington, D.C. area market. In our Homebuilding segment, we develop properties with the intent to sell as fee-simple properties or condominiums to individual buyers or to private or institutional investors. Our for-sale products are designed to attract first-time, early move-up, and secondary move-up buyers. We focus on products that we are able to offer for sale in the middle price points within the markets where we operate, avoiding the very low-end and high-end products. In our Multi-family segment, we focus on projects ranging from approximately 75 to 200 units in locations that are supply constrained with demonstrated demand for stabilized assets. We seek opportunities in the multi-family rental market where our experience and core capabilities can be leveraged. We will either position the assets for sale when completed or operate the asset within our own portfolio as rental property. Operating the asset for our own account affords us the flexibility of converting the units to condominiums in the future. In our Real Estate Services segment, we pursue projects in all aspects of real estate management, including strategic planning, land development, entitlement, property management, sales and marketing, workout and turnaround strategies, financing and general construction. We are able to provide a wide range of construction management and general contracting services to other property owners. The following table includes the Company’s three reportable segments of Homebuilding, Multi-family, and Real Estate Services. Each of these segments operates within the Company’s single Washington, D.C. area reportable geographic segment.

The 2013 through 2015 tax years remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, due to the uncertainties surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance. The Company currently has approximately $138 million in federal and state Net Operating Losses ("NOLs"), which based on current statutory tax rates, have potential fair value of approximately $54 million in tax savings. If unused, these NOLs will begin expiring in 2027. Under Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) rules, if a change of ownership is triggered, the Company’s NOL assets and possibly certain other deferred tax assets may be impaired. We estimate that as of June 30, 2017, the cumulative shift in ownership of the Company’s stock would not cause an impairment of our NOL asset. However, if an ownership change were to occur, the Section 382 limitation would not be expected to materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations as of June 30, 2017, because of the Company’s full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation Currently, we are not subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, however, we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. Although we cannot accurately predict the amount of our liability, if any, that could arise with respect to legal actions pending against us; we do not expect that any such liability will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results and cash flows. We believe that we have obtained adequate insurance coverage, rights to indemnification, or where appropriate, have established appropriate reserves in connection with any such legal proceedings. Letters of credit, performance bonds and compensating balances The Company has commitments as a result of contracts with certain third parties, primarily local governmental authorities, to meet certain performance criteria outlined in such contracts. The Company is required to issue letters of credit and performance bonds to these third parties as a way of ensuring that the commitments entered into are met. These letters of credit and performance bonds issued in favor of the Company and/or its subsidiaries mature on a revolving basis, and if called into default, would be deemed material if assessed against the Company and/or its subsidiaries for the full amounts claimed. In some circumstances, we have negotiated with our lenders in connection with foreclosure agreements for the lender to assume certain liabilities with respect to the letters of credit and performance bonds. We cannot accurately predict the amount of any liability that could be imposed upon the Company with respect to maturing or defaulted letters of credit or performance bonds. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $1.1 million and $1.9 million in outstanding letters of credit, respectively. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $4.0 million and $4.3 million in outstanding performance bonds, respectively. No amounts have been drawn against the outstanding letters of credit or performance bonds. We are required to maintain compensating balances in escrow accounts as collateral for certain letters of credit, which are funded upon settlement and release of units. The cash contained within these escrow accounts is subject to withdrawal and usage restrictions. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in these escrow accounts, which are included in ‘Restricted cash’ in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |

On February 23, 2009, Comstock Homes of Washington, L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Services Agreement with Comstock Asset Management, L.C., an entity wholly-owned by our Chief Executive Officer, to provide services related to real estate development and improvements, including legal, accounting, marketing, information technology and other additional support services. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company billed Comstock Asset Management, L.C. $285 and $279, respectively, for services and out-of-pocket expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, Comstock Asset Management, L.C. was billed $488 and $462, respectively. Revenues from this arrangement are included within ‘Revenue – other’ in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company was owed $220 and $132, respectively, under this contract, which is included in ‘Trade receivables’ in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On October 17, 2014, Comstock Growth Fund (“CGF”), an administrative entity managed by the Company, entered into a subscription agreement with Comstock Development Services, LC (“CDS”), an entity wholly-owned by our Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which CDS purchased membership interests in CGF for a principal amount of $10 million. Other purchasers who purchased interests in the private placement included members of the Company’s management and board of directors and other third-party, accredited investors for an additional principal amount of $6.2 million (the “CGF Private Placement”). Simultaneously, on October 17, 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note with CGF whereby CGF made a loan to the Company in the initial principal amount of $10 million and a maximum capacity of up to $20 million. On December 18, 2014, the loan agreement was amended and restated to provide for a maximum capacity of $25 million. All of the other terms of the unsecured promissory note remained the same. The Company borrowed an additional principal loan amount of $6.2 million under the amended and restated CGF promissory note bringing the total aggregate principal amount borrowed to $16.2 million. The CGF loan has a three year term carrying a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 9.75% with a 10% floor. The loan requires an annual principal repayment in the amount of 10% of the average outstanding balance and a monthly interest payment that will be made in arrears. Purchasers other than CDS who purchased membership interests in CGF received warrants that represent the right to purchase an amount of shares of our Class A common stock, depending upon the investment amount. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were 76 warrants issued in connection with the CGF Private Placement outstanding, representing the right to purchase shares of our Class A common stock having an aggregate fair value of $433, which was considered as a debt discount. The Company amortizes the debt discount over the three year term of the loan to interest expense. As of June 30, 2017, $11.3 million was outstanding in principal and accrued interest, net of discounts, on the CGF loan. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company made interest payments of $0.4 million, on the CGF loan. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company made interest payments of $0.8 million, on the CGF loan.

On December 18, 2014, CGF entered into amended and restated subscription agreements with CDS, members of the Company’s management and board of directors and the other third party accredited investors who participated in the CGF Private Placement (the “Amended CGF Private Placement”). Under the Amended CGF Private Placement, in addition to the warrants described above, the Company entered into a commitment to grant 226,857 shares of our Class A common stock to the purchasers in the Amended CGF Private Placement. On May 12, 2015, the Company issued 226,857 un-registered shares of its Class A common stock to the purchasers in the Amended CGF Private Placement. The Amended CGF Private Placement was closed for additional investments on May 15, 2015. On December 29, 2015, the Company and Stonehenge Funding, L.C. (“Stonehenge”), an entity wholly owned by our Chief Executive Officer, entered into a Note Exchange and Subscription Agreement pursuant to which the note in the original principal amount of $4.5 million issued to the Company by Stonehenge was cancelled in its entirety and exchanged for 772,210 shares of the Company’s Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share and a stated value of $5.00 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock received by Stonehenge in exchange for the note represented the principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest under the note as of December 29, 2015, which was $3.9 million. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock earn dividends at a rate of 8.75% per annum accruing from the effective date of the Note Exchange and Subscription Agreement. On March 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with the holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to which the Company exchanged 772,210 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock for 772,210 shares of the Company’s newly created Series C Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share and a stated value of $5.00 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock has a discretionary dividend feature, as opposed to the mandatory dividend feature in the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock, together with all accrued dividends earned through the conversion date, was retired upon re-acquisition and the fair value of the Series C Preferred Stock is recorded in ‘Stockholders’ equity’ in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The difference in fair value from the extinguishment of the Series B Preferred Stock and issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock of $1,011 was recorded in ‘Stockholders’ equity’ in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Variable Interest Entity | 11. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY Included within the Company’s real estate inventories at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are several projects that are determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These entities have been established to own and operate real estate property and were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entities to finance their activities without additional financial support. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its majority voting and complete operational control of the entities. On August 23, 2012, the Company formed New Hampshire Ave. Ventures, LLC, a joint venture of its subsidiary, Comstock Ventures XVI, L.C., and 6000 New Hampshire Avenue, LLC, for the purpose of acquiring, developing and constructing a 111-unit project (the “NHA Project”) in Washington, D.C. The Company evaluated the joint venture and determined that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of the VIE as a result of its complete operational control of the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance and obligation to absorb losses, or receive benefits. The Company contributed its ownership interest in Comstock Ventures XVI, L.C. to Comstock Investors VII, L.C. (“Comstock VII”) on March 13, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, New Hampshire Ave. Ventures, LLC distributed $1.9 million to its non-controlling interest member, 6000 New Hampshire Avenue, LLC. No such distributions were made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. In December 2013, Comstock Investors VIII, L.C. (“Comstock VIII”) entered into subscription agreements with certain accredited investors (“Comstock VIII Class B Members”), pursuant to which Comstock VIII Class B Members purchased membership interests in Comstock VIII for an aggregate amount of $4.0 million (the “Comstock VIII Private Placement”). In connection with the Comstock VIII Private Placement, the Company issued 15 warrants for the purchase of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to the non-affiliated accredited investors, having an aggregate fair value of $131. Comstock VIII Class B Members included unrelated third-party accredited investors along with members of the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer and the former Chief Financial Officer. The Comstock VIII Class B Members are entitled to a cumulative, preferred return of 20% per annum, compounded annually on their capital account balances. The Company has the right to repurchase the interests of the Comstock VIII Class B Members at any time, provided that (i) all of the Comstock VIII Class B Members’ interests are acquired, (ii) the purchase is made in cash and (iii) the purchase price equals the Comstock VIII Class B Members’ capital accounts plus an amount necessary to cause the preferred return to equal a cumulative cash on cash return equal to 20% per annum. The proceeds from the Comstock VIII Private Placement have been used for the construction of the following projects: The Townes at HallCrest in Sterling, Virginia consisting of 42 townhome units, and Townes at Maxwell Square Condominium in Frederick, Maryland consisting of 45 townhome condominium units (collectively, the “Investor VIII Projects”). Proceeds of the Comstock VIII Private Placement were utilized to provide capital needed to complete the Investor VIII Projects in conjunction with project financing for the Investor VIII Projects, to reimburse the Company for prior expenditures incurred on behalf of the Investor VIII Projects, and for general corporate purposes of the Company. The Company evaluated Comstock VIII and determined that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support and the Company was the primary beneficiary as a result of its complete operational control of the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses, or receive benefits accordingly, the Company consolidates this entity. In January 2017, the Company fully redeemed the remaining equity interest of Class B Members in Comstock VIII after paying $1.9 million in distributions. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company paid distributions in the amount of $0.8 million to its non-controlling interest member. In June 2015, Comstock Investors IX, L.C. (“Comstock IX”) entered into subscription agreements with third-party accredited investors (“Comstock IX Class B Members”), pursuant to which Comstock IX Class B Members purchased membership interests in Comstock IX for an aggregate amount of $2.5 million (the “Comstock IX Private Placement”). The Comstock IX Class B Members are entitled to a cumulative, preferred return of 20% per annum, compounded annually on their capital account balances. The Company has the right to repurchase the interests of the Comstock IX Class B Members at any time, provided that (i) all of the Comstock IX Class B Members’ interests are acquired, (ii) the purchase is made in cash and (iii) the purchase price equals the Comstock IX Class B Members’ capital accounts plus any amount necessary to cause the preferred return to equal a cumulative cash on cash return equal to 20% per annum. The proceeds from the Comstock IX Private Placement have been utilized (A) for the current construction of the Marrwood East project of 35 single family homes in Loudoun County Virginia, (B) to reimburse the Company for prior expenditures incurred on behalf of the Marrwood East project and (C) for general corporate purposes of the Company. The Company evaluated Comstock IX and determined that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support and the Company was the primary beneficiary as a result of its complete operational control of the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits. Accordingly, the Company consolidates this entity. No distributions have been paid to the Comstock IX Class B Members to date. In August 2016, Comstock Investors X, L.C. (“Comstock X”) entered into a subscription agreement with an accredited investor (“Comstock X Class B Member”), pursuant to which the Comstock X Class B Member purchased membership interests in Comstock X for an initial amount of $5.0 million, which is part of an aggregate capital raise of $14.5 million (the “Comstock X Private Placement”). The Comstock X Class B Member is Comstock Development Services, LC (“CDS”), an entity wholly owned by Christopher Clemente, our Chief Executive Officer. In October 2016, the Comstock X Class B Member purchased additional interests in the Comstock X Private Placement in an amount of $9.5 million resulting in an aggregate subscription amount of $14.5 million. In connection with the Comstock X Private Placement, the Company issued a total of 150 warrants for the purchase of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, having an aggregate fair value of $258. The Comstock X Member is entitled to a cumulative, preferred return of 6% per annum, compounded annually on the capital account balance. The Company has the right to repurchase the interest of the Comstock X Class B Member at any time, provided that (i) all of the Comstock X Class B Members’ interest is acquired, (ii) the purchase is made in cash and (iii) the purchase price equals the Comstock X Class B Members’ capital account plus accrued priority return. Proceeds of the Comstock X Private Placement are being utilized (A) to provide capital needed to complete the projects known as The Townes at Totten Mews, consisting of 40 townhomes in Washington, D.C., and The Towns at 1333, consisting of 18 townhomes in the City of Alexandria, Virginia (collectively, the “Investor X Projects”), (B) to reimburse the Company for prior expenditures incurred on behalf of the Investor X Projects, and (C) for general corporate purposes of the Company. The Company evaluated Comstock X and determined that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support and the Company was the primary beneficiary of the VIE as a result of its complete operational control of the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses, or receive benefits. Accordingly, the Company consolidates this entity. On June 14, 2017, the Comstock X Private Placement was amended to provide for the first $1.0 million of profit earned to be allocated first to the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company paid distributions of $1.0 million to its non-controlling interest member. No distributions were made in 2016. The distributions to and contributions from the VIEs discussed above are included within the ‘Non-controlling interest’ in the consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total assets of these VIEs were approximately $34.6 million and $38.1 million, respectively, and total liabilities were approximately $19.7 million and $18.5 million, respectively. The classification of these assets is primarily within ‘Real estate inventories’ and the classification of liabilities are primarily within ‘Accounts payable and accrued liabilities’ and ‘Notes payable – secured by real estate inventories’ in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. |

Construction, development and mezzanine debt – secured The Company enters into secured acquisition and development loan agreements from time to time to purchase and develop land parcels. In addition, the Company enters into secured construction loan agreements for the construction of its real estate inventories. The loans are repaid with proceeds from home closings based upon a specific release price, as defined in each respective loan agreement. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had secured construction revolving credit facilities with a maximum loan commitment of $23.5 million and $26.6 million, respectively. The Company may borrow under these facilities to fund its home building activities. The amount the Company may borrow is subject to applicable borrowing base provisions and the number of units under construction, which may also limit the amount available or outstanding under the facilities. The facilities are secured by deeds of trust on the real property and improvements thereon, and the borrowings are repaid with the net proceeds from the closings of homes sold, subject to a minimum release price. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $16.2 million and $20.2 million, respectively, of unused construction loan commitments. The Company had $7.4 million and $6.4 million of outstanding construction borrowings as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company uses this line of credit to finance the predevelopment related expenses and deposits for current and future projects and bears a variable interest rate tied to a one-month LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum, with an interest rate floor of 5.0%. This line of credit calls for the Company to adhere to financial covenants, as defined in the loan agreement such as, minimum net worth and minimum liquidity, measured quarterly and minimum EBITDA measured on an annual basis and matures on December 31, 2017.

On December 18, 2014, the loan agreement was amended and restated to provide for a maximum capacity of $25 million. The loan bears interest at a floating rate based on the 30 day LIBOR plus 9.75% per annum with a 10% floor per annum. Interest payments will be made monthly in arrears. There is a principal curtailment requirement of 10% annually based on the average outstanding balance for the prior year. The loan will be used by the Company (i) to finance the Company’s current and future development pipeline, (ii) to repay all or a portion of the Company’s prior private placements, (iii) to repay all or a portion of the Company’s project mezzanine loans, and (iv) for general corporate purposes. The Company is the administrative manager of CGF but does not own any membership interests. The Company had approximately $11.3 million of outstanding borrowings under the CGF loan, net of discounts, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the interest rate was 10.8% and 10.4% per annum, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company made interest payments of $0.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company made interest payments of $0.8 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company made principal payments to CGF of $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Comstock Growth Fund II On December 29, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit promissory note with CGF II whereby CGF II made a loan to the Company in the initial principal amount of $5.0 million and a maximum amount available for borrowing of up to $10.0 million with a two year term, which may be extended an additional year. The interest rate is 10% per annum, and interest payments will be accrued and paid in kind monthly for the first year, and then paid current monthly in arrears beginning December 31, 2016. The funds obtained from the loan are being used by the Company (i) to capitalize the Company’s current and future development pipeline, (ii) to repay all or a portion of the Company’s prior private placements, and (iii) for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $3.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively, was outstanding in principal and accrued interest under the CGF II loan. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures | 14. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values based on their short maturities. The fair value of fixed and floating rate debt is based on unobservable market rates (Level 3 inputs). The fair value of the fixed and floating rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis on the blended borrower rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms. The following table summarizes the carrying amount and the corresponding fair value of fixed and floating rate debt: June 30, December 31, 2017 2016 Carrying amount $ 42,490 $ 43,704 Fair value $ 42,187 $ 44,986 Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. The Company may also value its non-financial assets and liabilities, including items such as real estate inventories and long lived assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis if it is determined that impairment has occurred. Such fair value measurements use significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3. |

Restricted Stock, Stock Options and Other Stock Plans | 15. RESTRICTED STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER STOCK PLANS During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 45 thousand restricted stock awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 157 thousand stock options and 245 thousand restricted stock awards to employees. No stock options or restricted stock awards were issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock and stock options is recognized based on the fair value of the award over its vesting period. The following table reflects the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations line items for stock-based compensation for the periods presented: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Real estate inventories - Assets $ 19 $ 4 $ 24 $ 9 General and administrative and Cost of sales—other - Expenses 90 15 122 41 $ 109 $ 19 $ 146 $ 50 Under net settlement procedures currently applicable to our outstanding restricted stock awards for employees, upon each settlement date and election by the employees, restricted stock awards are withheld to cover the required withholding tax, which is based on the value of the restricted stock award on the settlement date as determined by the closing price of our Class A common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable settlement date. The remaining amounts are delivered to the recipient as shares of our Class A common stock. As of June 30, 2017, the weighted-average remaining contractual term of unexercised stock options was 7 years. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was $0.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock grants. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Liquidity and Capital Resources | Liquidity and Capital Resources We require capital to operate, to post deposits on new potential acquisitions, to purchase and develop land, to construct homes, to fund related carrying costs and overhead and to fund various advertising and marketing programs to generate sales. These expenditures include payroll, community engineering, entitlement, architecture, advertising, utilities and interest as well as the construction costs of our homes. Our sources of capital include, and we believe will continue to include, private equity and debt placements (which has included significant participation from Company insiders), funds derived from various secured and unsecured borrowings to finance acquisition, development and construction on acquired land, cash flow from operations, which includes the sale and delivery of constructed homes, finished and raw building lots and the potential sale of public debt and equity securities. The Company is involved in ongoing discussions with lenders and equity sources in an effort to provide additional growth capital to fund various new business opportunities. See Note 13 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more details on our credit facilities and Note 11 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for details on private placement offerings. We have outstanding borrowings with various financial institutions and other lenders that have been used to finance the acquisition, development and construction of real estate projects. The Company has generally financed its development and construction activities on a single or multiple project basis so it is not uncommon for each of our projects or collection of our projects to have a separate credit facility. Accordingly, the Company typically has had numerous credit facilities and lenders. As of June 30, 2017, $32.6 million of the Company’s outstanding credit facilities and project related loans mature at various periods through the end of 2017. We are in active discussions with our lenders seeking long term extensions and modifications to these loans. These debt instruments impose certain restrictions on our operations, including speculative unit construction limitations, curtailment obligations, and financial covenant compliance. If we fail to comply with any of these restrictions, an event of default could occur. Additionally, events of default could occur if we fail to make required debt service payments or if we fail to come to agreement on an extension on a certain facility prior to a given loan’s maturity date. Any event of default would likely render the obligations under these instruments due and payable as of that event. Any such event of default would allow certain of our lenders to exercise cross default provisions in our loan agreements with them, such that all debt with that institution could be called into default. We are anticipating that with the successful resolution of the debt extension discussions with our lenders, capital raises from our private placements, current available cash on hand, and additional cash from settlement proceeds at existing and under development communities, the Company will have sufficient financial resources to sustain its operations through the next 12 months, though no assurances can be made that the Company will be successful in its efforts. The Company will also continue to focus on its cost structure in an effort to conserve cash and manage expenses. Such actions may include cost reductions and/or deferral arrangements with respect to current operating expenses. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts for the reporting periods. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and judgements on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU No. 2014-09 will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year, which would make the guidance effective for the Company’s first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017. Additionally, the FASB has also decided to permit entities to early adopt the standard, which allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective methods of adoption, for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the available methodologies of ASU 2014-09 upon its consolidated financial statements including disclosures in future reporting periods. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new standard against its existing accounting policies, including the timing of revenue recognition, and its contracts with customers to determine the effect the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and what changes to systems and controls may be warranted. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. The core principle of the standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business”, which provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is a business. The standard requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This standard reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. ASU 2017-01 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-01 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 reduces both diversity in practice and cost and complexity when changing the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. We assessed other accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and deemed they were not applicable to us and are not anticipated to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |
