Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), but do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 or subsequent periods due to seasonal variations and other factors. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Green Brick Partners, Inc., its controlled subsidiaries, and variable interest entities in which Green Brick Partners, Inc. or one of its controlled subsidiaries is deemed to be the primary beneficiary (together, the “Company”, “we”, or “Green Brick”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investments in unconsolidated entities over which it exercises significant influence but does not have a controlling interest. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the unconsolidated entities’ earnings or losses, if any, is included in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no impact to net income in any period. For a complete set of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure	10. INCOME TAXES The Company’s income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $30.3 million and $48.7 million, respectively, compared to $15.7 million and $23.2 million in the prior year periods. The effective tax rate was 21.9% and 22.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to 21.2% and 21.2% in the comparable prior year periods. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 relates primarily to the decrease in the tax credit benefit from the enactment of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2019 (“the 2019 Act”). The 2019 Act retroactively reinstated the federal energy efficient homes tax credit that expired on December 31, 2017 to homes closed from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. In December 2020, Congress approved the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, which extended the federal energy efficient homes tax credit through December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, the credit for energy efficient new homes had not been extended past December 31, 2021.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. Per Share	11. EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company’s RSAs have the right to receive forfeitable dividends on an equal basis with common stock and therefore are not considered participating securities that must be included in the calculation of net income per share using the two-class method. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for non-vested shares of restricted stock awards during each period. Net income applicable to common shareholders is net income adjusted for preferred stock dividends including dividends declared and cumulative dividends related to the current dividend period that have not been declared as of period end. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method and includes the effect of all dilutive securities, including stock options and restricted stock awards. The computation of basic and diluted net income attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net income attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. $ 101,256 $ 52,263 $ 162,833 $ 78,232 Preferred dividends (719) — (1,438) — Net income applicable to common shareholders 100,537 52,263 161,395 78,232 Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding - basic 48,046 50,701 49,309 50,667 Basic net income attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. per common share $ 2.09 $ 1.03 $ 3.27 $ 1.54 Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding - basic 48,046 50,701 49,309 50,667 Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards 338 363 330 362 Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding - diluted 48,384 51,064 49,639 51,029 Diluted net income attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. per common share $ 2.08 $ 1.02 $ 3.25 $ 1.53 The following shares which could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future are not included in the determination of diluted net income attributable to Green Brick Partners, Inc. per common share (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Antidilutive options to purchase common stock and restricted stock awards (23) — (29) —

Fair Value Measurements	12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, earnest money deposits, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer and builder deposits, borrowings on lines of credit, senior unsecured notes, and notes payable. Per the fair value hierarchy, level 1 financial instruments include: cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, earnest money deposits, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and customer and builder deposits due to their short-term nature. The Company estimates that, due to the short-term nature of the underlying financial instruments or the proximity of the underlying transaction to the applicable reporting date, the fair value of level 1 financial instruments does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Level 2 financial instruments include borrowings on lines of credit and senior unsecured notes. Due to the short-term nature and floating interest rate terms, the carrying amounts of borrowings on lines of credit are deemed to approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes as of June 30, 2022 was $303.8 million. The carrying value of senior unsecured notes as of June 30, 2022 was $335.6 million. There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for any of our financial instruments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, letters of credit and performance bonds outstanding were $4.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The Company does not believe that it is likely that any material claims will be made under a letter of credit or performance bond in the foreseeable future. Warranties Warranty accruals are included within accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Warranty activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Warranty accrual, beginning of period $ 10,613 $ 6,861 $ 9,378 $ 6,407 Warranties issued 2,397 1,662 4,211 2,762 Changes in liability for existing warranties 121 23 416 62 Settlements (1,066) (644) (1,940) (1,329) Warranty accrual, end of period $ 12,065 $ 7,902 $ 12,065 $ 7,902 Operating Leases The Company has leases associated with office and design center space in Georgia, Texas, and Florida that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of more than 12 months and are classified as operating leases. The exercise of any extension options available in such operating lease contracts is not reasonably certain. Operating lease cost of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.7 million in the prior year periods, is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.6 million in the prior year periods. As of June 30, 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted-average discount rate used in calculating our lease liabilities were 4.5 years and 4.1%, respectively. The future annual undiscounted cash flows in relation to the operating leases and a reconciliation of such undiscounted cash flows to the operating lease liabilities recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 are presented below (in thousands): Remainder of 2022 $ 861 2023 1,459 2024 590 2025 559 2026 504 Thereafter 865 Total future lease payments 4,838 Less: Interest 476 Present value of lease liabilities $ 4,362 The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. For such leases, the Company does not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities and instead recognizes lease payments in the condensed consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis. Short-term lease cost of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the comparable prior year periods, is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Legal Matters Lawsuits, claims and proceedings may be instituted or asserted against us in the normal course of business. The Company is also subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations related to land development activities, house construction standards, sales practices, title company regulations, employment practices and environmental protection. As a result, the Company may be subject to periodic examinations or inquiry by agencies administering these laws and regulations. The Company records an accrual for legal claims and regulatory matters when they are probable of occurring and a potential loss is reasonably estimable. The Company accrues for these matters based on facts and circumstances specific to each matter and revises these estimates when necessary. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting outcomes of legal claims and related contingencies, the Company generally cannot predict their ultimate resolution, related timing or eventual loss. If evaluations indicate loss contingencies that could be material are not probable, but are reasonably possible, the Company will disclose their nature with an estimate of the possible range of losses or a statement that such loss is not reasonably estimable. We believe that the disposition of legal claims and related contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity or on our financial condition.
