Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation. These Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Cavco Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Cavco"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classification. The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of April 2, 2016 , through the date of the filing of this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Subsequent to period end, there was an increase in homeowner insurance claims in our financial services segment, the result of severe adverse Spring weather activity in Texas. The total impact of these events is not yet known, as the Company is still adjusting the claims and determining recoveries from reinsurance for catastrophic losses. In fiscal year 2010, the Company and its investment partners, Third Avenue Value Fund and an affiliate (collectively, "Third Avenue"), formed a jointly-owned corporation, Fleetwood Homes, Inc. ("Fleetwood") and purchased certain manufactured housing assets and liabilities of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. (the "Fleetwood Acquisition"). Third Avenue Management LLC is an investment adviser to Third Avenue Value Fund and is a related party to the Company, as described further in Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Fleetwood, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Palm Harbor"), acquired certain manufactured housing assets and liabilities of Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., a Florida corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries including CountryPlace Acceptance Corp. ("CountryPlace") on April 23, 2011 (the "Palm Harbor Acquisition Date"). Subsequently, the stock of Standard Casualty Co. ("Standard Casualty") was acquired on June 10, 2011 after regulatory approval was received from the Texas Department of Insurance. Since the Fleetwood Acquisition, financial information for Fleetwood has been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation ("ASC 810"). Management determined that, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), although Fleetwood was previously only 50 percent owned by the Company, Cavco had a controlling interest and was required to fully consolidate the results of Fleetwood. Third Avenue’s financial interest in Fleetwood was considered a "redeemable noncontrolling interest" and was designated as such in the Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 20 ). On July 22, 2013, Cavco purchased all noncontrolling interests in Fleetwood pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, which was filed with the SEC on June 14, 2013 as an exhibit to the Company's Periodic Report on Form 8-K (see Note 21 ). The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction and eliminated the need for noncontrolling interest accounting. As a result of the transaction, Cavco owns 100 percent of Fleetwood and its holdings, including Fleetwood Homes, Palm Harbor Homes, CountryPlace and Standard Casualty. On March 30, 2015, the Company purchased certain manufactured housing assets and liabilities of Chariot Eagle, LLC, which produces park model RVs and manufactured homes distributed in the southeastern United States. On May 1, 2015, the Company also purchased certain manufactured housing assets and liabilities of Fairmont Homes, a premier builder of manufactured and modular homes and park model RVs serving the Midwest, western Great Plains states, the Northeast and several provinces in Canada. These operations include manufactured housing production facilities in Ocala, Florida; Nappanee, Indiana; and two factories in Montevideo, Minnesota, and provide for further operating capacity, increased home production capabilities and distribution into new markets. Both of these acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations and the results of operations have been included since the date of their respective acquisitions. Nature of Operations. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, the Company designs and produces manufactured homes which are sold to a network of independent retailers located throughout the continental United States as well as through Company-owned retail sales locations which offer the Company’s homes to retail customers. Our financial services group is comprised of a mortgage subsidiary, CountryPlace, an approved Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA" or "Fannie Mae") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC" and "Freddie Mac") seller/servicer, a Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA" or "Ginnie Mae") mortgage backed securities issuer which offers conforming mortgages and chattel loans to purchasers of factory-built and site-built homes. Also included is our insurance subsidiary, Standard Casualty, which provides property and casualty insurance to owners of manufactured homes. Fiscal Year. The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest to March 31 of each year. Each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks, with an occasional fourth quarter extending to 14 weeks, if necessary, for the fiscal year to end on the Saturday nearest to March 31. The Company’s current fiscal year consisted of 53 weeks and ended on April 2, 2016 . Accounting Estimates. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the financial statements. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, investments, consumer loans receivable, commercial loans receivable, accounts payable, certain accrued liabilities and securitized financings. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because their maturity is less than three months. The carrying amounts of restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the amounts. The carrying amount of investments classified as held for sale is at fair value as the investments are marked to market (see Note 3 ). The carrying amount of the Company’s commercial loans receivable fair value is estimated based on the market value of comparable loans. The fair value of consumer loans receivable and securitized financings are both estimated to be greater than carrying value (see Note 18 ). Factory-Built Housing Revenue Recognition. Revenue from homes sold to independent retailers is generally recognized when the home is shipped, at which time title passes to the independent retailer and collectability is reasonably assured. Homes sold to independent retailers are generally either paid for prior to shipment or floor plan financed by the independent retailer through standard industry arrangements, which can include repurchase agreements. Manufacturing sales financed under repurchase agreements are reduced by a provision for estimated repurchase obligations (see Note 15 ). Revenue from homes sold under commercial loan programs involving funds provided by the Company is either deferred until such time that payment for the related commercial loan receivable is received by the Company or recognized when the home is shipped, depending on the nature of the program and borrower (see Note 6 for discussion of Commercial loans receivable). Retail sales by Company-owned retail locations are generally recognized when the customer has entered into a legally binding sales contract, the home is delivered and permanently located at the customer's site, accepted by the customer, title has transferred and funding is reasonably assured. Some of the Company’s independent retailers operate multiple sales outlets. No independent retailer accounted for 10% or more of our factory-built housing revenue during any fiscal year within the three-year period ended April 2, 2016 . Financial Services Revenue Recognition. Premium amounts collected on policies issued and assumed by Standard Casualty are amortized on a straight-line basis into net revenue over the life of the policy. Premiums earned are net of reinsurance ceded. Policy acquisition costs are also amortized as cost of sales over the life of the policy. At the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date, management evaluated consumer loans receivable held for investment by CountryPlace to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality and if it was probable that CountryPlace would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loans’ contractual terms. The Company also considered expected prepayments and estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows. The Company determined the excess of the loan pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over the undiscounted cash flows expected as of the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date as an amount that is not accreted into interest income (the non-accretable difference). The cash flow expected to be collected in excess of the carrying value of the acquired loans is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans (referred to as accretable yield). Interest income on consumer loans receivable is recognized as net revenue (see Note 5 ). For loans originated by CountryPlace and held for sale, loan origination fees and gains or losses on sales are recognized as net revenue upon title transfer of the loans. CountryPlace provides third-party servicing of mortgages and earns servicing fees each month based on the aggregate outstanding balances. Servicing fees are recognized as net revenue when earned. Cash and Cash Equivalents . Highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, are classified as cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of U.S. Treasury money market funds and money market funds. Restricted Cash . Restricted cash primarily represents cash related to CountryPlace customer payments to be remitted to third parties, cash held in trust for workers' compensation insurance and deposits received from retail customers required to be held in trust accounts. The Company cannot access restricted cash for general operating purposes (see Note 2 ). Accounts Receivable. The Company extends competitive credit terms on a customer-by-customer basis in the normal course of business and its accounts receivable are subject to normal industry risk. The Company provides for reserves against accounts receivable for estimated losses that may result from customers' inability to pay. As of April 2, 2016 , allowance for doubtful accounts was $75,000 , attributable to factory-built housing operations, compared to $56,000 at March 28, 2015 . Investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investment securities at the time of purchase. The Company’s investments include marketable debt and equity securities, a majority of which are held as available-for-sale, and non-marketable equity investments. All investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income tax if applicable. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method (see Note 3 ). Management regularly makes an assessment to determine whether a decline in value of an individual security is other-than-temporary. The Company considers the following factors when making its assessment: (i) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment to maturity, or a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in market value; (ii) whether it is probable that the Company will be able to collect the amounts contractually due; and (iii) whether any decision has been made to dispose of the investment prior to the balance sheet date. Investments on which there is an unrealized loss that is deemed to be other-than-temporary are written down to fair value with the loss recorded in earnings. Consumer Loans Receivable. Consumer loans receivable consists of manufactured housing loans originated by CountryPlace (securitized, held for investment, or held for sale) and construction advances on mortgages. The fair value of consumer loans receivable held on the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date was calculated as of that date, as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows, with no allowance for loan loss recorded. Loans held for investment consist of loan contracts collateralized by the borrowers’ homes and, in some instances, related land. Construction loans in progress are stated at the aggregate amount of cumulative funded advances. Loans held for sale consist of loan contracts collateralized by single-family residential mortgages. Loans held for sale are stated at the lower of cost or market on an aggregate basis. Loans held for sale are loans that, at the time of origination, are originated with the intent to resell in the mortgage market to investors, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, with which the Company has pre-existing purchase agreements, or to sell as part of a Ginnie Mae insured pool of loans. Prior to being acquired by the Company, on July 12, 2005 and March 22, 2007, CountryPlace completed two securitizations of factory-built housing loan receivables. These two securitizations were accounted for as financings, which use the portfolio method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other . The securitizations included provisions for removal of accounts, retention of certain credit loss risk by CountryPlace and other factors that preclude sale accounting of the securitizations under FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing . Both securitizations were accounted for as securitized borrowings; therefore, the related consumer loans receivable and securitized financings were included in CountryPlace’s financial statements. Since the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date, the acquired consumer loans receivable and securitized financings are accounted for in a manner similar to FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality ("ASC 310-30"). Allowance for Loan Losses. The primary portion of the allowance for loan losses reflects the Company’s judgment of the probable loss exposure on our commercial loans receivable as of the end of the reporting period. The allowance for loan loss is developed at a portfolio level. A range of probable losses is calculated and the Company makes a determination of the best estimate within the range of loan losses. The Company has historically been able to resell repossessed homes, thereby mitigating loss experience. If a default occurs and collateral is lost, the Company is exposed to loss of the full value of the home loan. If the Company determines that it is probable that a borrower will default, a specific reserve is determined and recorded within the estimated allowance for loan loss. The Company recorded an allowance for loan loss of $128,000 and $73,000 at April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , respectively (see Note 6 ). Another portion of the allowance for loan losses relates to consumer loans receivable originated by CountryPlace after the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date. This allowance for loan losses reflects CountryPlace’s judgment of the probable loss exposure on its loans originated since the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date in the held for investment portfolio as of the end of the reporting period. CountryPlace accounts for the loans that were in existence at the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date in a manner similar to ASC 310-30. Management evaluated such loans as of the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality and if it was probable that CountryPlace would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loans’ contractual terms. Over the life of the loans, CountryPlace continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. CountryPlace evaluates at the balance sheet date whether the present value of its expected cash flows, determined using the effective interest rate, has decreased and, if so, recognizes an allowance for loan loss subsequent to the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date. The present value of any subsequent increase in the loan pool’s actual cash flows expected to be collected is used first to reverse any existing allowance for loan loss. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan pool’s remaining life (see Note 5 ). CountryPlace has modified payment amounts and/or interest rates for borrowers that, in management’s judgment, exhibited the willingness and ability to continue to pay and met certain other conditions. CountryPlace considers a modified loan a troubled debt restructuring when three conditions are met: (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, (ii) concessions are made by CountryPlace that it would not otherwise consider for a borrower with similar risk characteristics, and (iii) the loan was originated after the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date. CountryPlace no longer considers modified loans to be troubled debt restructurings once the modified loan is seasoned for six months, is not delinquent under the modified terms and is at a market rate of interest at the modification date. Commercial Loans Receivable. The Company’s commercial loans receivable balance consists of amounts loaned by the Company under commercial loan programs for the benefit of our independent retailers and community operators’ home purchasing needs. Under the terms of certain programs, the Company has entered into direct commercial loan arrangements with independent retailers and community operators wherein the Company provides funds to purchase home inventory or homes for placement in communities. In addition, the Company provides a significant amount of the funds that independent financiers lend to distributors to finance retail inventories of homes. Interest income on commercial loans receivable is recognized as Other income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income on an accrual basis. Inventories. Raw material inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the specific identification method. Assets Held for Sale . As of April 2, 2016 , the Company has no assets classified as held for sale. During the year ended March 28, 2015 , the Company sold an inactive manufacturing facility in Albemarle, North Carolina for $900,000 and real estate in Lakeland, Florida for $415,000 , that was previously listed as held for sale in the prior year. The net gain on these two sales was $87,000 , which is recorded in Other income, net. Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset. Estimated useful lives for significant classes of assets are as follows: buildings and improvements, 10 to 39 years; and machinery and equipment, 3 to 25 years. Repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. During the year ended March 28, 2015 , the Company sold an inactive manufacturing facility in Woodland, California for $4.7 million and real estate in Chino Valley, Arizona for $238,000 . The gain on these two sales was $1.3 million , which is recorded in Other income, net. The Company also sold miscellaneous property, plant and equipment in the normal course of business. Asset Impairment . The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used and held for sale for impairment when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that the fair values are primarily based on independent appraisals and preliminary or definitive contractual arrangements less costs to dispose. The Company recognized no impairment losses in fiscal years 2016 and 2015 and $560,000 in fiscal year 2014 . Goodwill and Other Intangibles. The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"). As such, the Company tests goodwill annually for impairment by reporting unit by first making a qualitative assessment, and if necessary, performing the two-step test and recording an impairment charge if the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying value. The Company has identified two reporting units, factory-built housing and financial services. As of April 2, 2016 , all of the Company's goodwill is attributable to its factory-built housing reporting unit. Certain intangibles are considered indefinite-lived and others are finite-lived and are amortized over their useful lives. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed annually for impairment first by making a qualitative assessment, and if necessary, performing a quantitative assessment and recording an impairment charge if the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of April 2, 2016 . In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment , the Company first assessed qualitative factors to determine that it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount. As a result, performing the two-step impairment test was determined to be unnecessary for fiscal years 2016 or 2015 . Warranties. The Company provides retail home buyers, builders or developers with a one -year warranty for manufacturing defects from the date of sale to the retail customer. Nonstructural components of a cosmetic nature are warranted for 120 days , except in specific cases where state laws require longer warranty terms. Estimated warranty costs are accrued as cost of sales at the time of sale. The warranty provision and reserves are based on estimates of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on homes sold as of the balance sheet date. Factors used to calculate the warranty obligation are the estimated amount of homes still under warranty including homes in retailer inventories, homes purchased by consumers still within the one -year warranty period, the timing in which work orders are completed and the historical average costs incurred to service a home. Retailer Volume Rebates . The Company’s manufacturing operations sponsor volume rebate programs under which certain sales to retailers, builders and developers can qualify for cash rebates generally based on the level of sales attained during a twelve-month period. Volume rebates are accrued at the time of sale and are recorded as a reduction of net revenue. Reserve for Repurchase Commitment. The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for retailers of its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer. The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The price the Company is obligated to pay generally declines over the period of the agreement (generally 18 to 36 months) and is further reduced by the resale value of repurchased homes. The Company applies FASB ASC 460, Guarantees ("ASC 460") and FASB ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies ("ASC 450-20"), to account for its liability for repurchase commitments. Under the provisions of ASC 460, during the period in which a home is sold (inception of a repurchase commitment), the Company records the greater of the estimated fair value of the non-contingent obligation or a contingent liability for each repurchase arrangement under the provisions of ASC 450-20, based on historical information available, as a reduction to revenue. Additionally, subsequent to the inception of the repurchase commitment, the Company evaluates the likelihood that it will be called on to perform under the inventory repurchase commitments. If it becomes probable that a retailer will default and an ASC 450-20 loss reserve should be recorded, then such contingent liability is recorded equal to the estimated loss on repurchase. Following the inception of the commitment, the recorded reserve is reduced over the repurchase period in conjunction with applicable curtailment arrangements and is eliminated once the retailer sells the home. Changes in the reserve are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. Reserve for Property-Liability Insurance Claims and Claims Expense. Standard Casualty establishes reserves for claims and claims expense ("loss") on reported and unreported claims of insured losses. Standard Casualty’s reserving process takes into account known facts and interpretations of circumstances and factors, including Standard’s experience with similar cases, actual claims paid, historical trends involving claim payment patterns and pending levels of unpaid claims, loss management programs, product mix, contractual terms, changes in law and regulation, judicial decisions and economic conditions. In the normal course of business, Standard Casualty may also supplement its claims processes by utilizing third party adjusters, appraisers, engineers, inspectors and other professionals and information sources to assess and settle catastrophe and non-catastrophe related claims. The effects of inflation are implicitly considered in the reserving process. The applicable reserve balance was $6.0 million as of April 2, 2016 , of which $663,000 related to incurred but not reported ("IBNR") losses. Insurance. The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of its general and products liability, auto liability, health, property and workers’ compensation liability coverage. Insurance is maintained for catastrophic exposures and those risks required to be insured by law. Estimated self-insurance costs are accrued for incurred claims and estimated IBNR claims. For product liability and workers' compensation liability in particular, the Company has purchased stop-loss insurance, which will reimburse the Company for claims exceeding $250,000 per occurrence. A reserve for products liability is actuarially determined and reflected in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The determination of claims and expenses and the appropriateness of the related liabilities are regularly reviewed and updated. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest. Historically, the Company's subsidiary, Fleetwood Homes, Inc. ("Fleetwood"), was jointly owned by the Company and its investment partners, Third Avenue Value Fund and an affiliate (collectively, "Third Avenue"). Third Avenue's financial interest in Fleetwood was reported as a "redeemable noncontrolling interest" in the Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 20 ). On July 22, 2013, Cavco purchased from Third Avenue all noncontrolling interests in Fleetwood, which owns Fleetwood Homes, Palm Harbor Homes, CountryPlace and Standard Casualty (the "Fleetwood Businesses"). The Company satisfied the purchase price with 1,867,370 shares of Company common stock issued to Third Avenue. The acquisition closed on July 22, 2013, resulting in Cavco owning 100 percent of the Fleetwood Businesses and entitling Cavco to all of the associated earnings from that date forward. As of April 2, 2016 , Third Avenue and its related funds owned approximately 8.2% of our outstanding common shares. Third Avenue and Third Avenue Management LLC are either directly or indirectly under common control. Third Avenue is considered a principal owner, and therefore a related party, under ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures ("ASC 850") (see Note 21 ). Advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $0.7 million in fiscal year 2016 and $1.5 million in each of the fiscal years 2015 and 2014 . Freight. Substantially all freight costs are recovered from the Company’s retailers. Freight charges of $22.3 million were recognized in net revenue and cost of sales in fiscal year 2016 and $17.6 million was recognized for each of fiscal years and 2015 and 2014 . Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), and provides for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes generally represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. The calculation of tax liabilities involves considering uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the liabilities are no longer determined to be necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result. The Company uses a two-step approach to evaluate uncertain tax positions. This approach involves recognizing any tax positions that are more likely than not to occur and then measuring those positions to determine the amounts to be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Other Income, net. Other income, net totaled $2.0 million , $3.4 million and $1.1 million for fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Other income primarily consists interest related to commercial loan receivable balances and interest income earned on cash balances and gains and losses or impairment on property, plant and equipment, including assets held for sale or sold. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Accumulated other comprehensive income is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments (see Note 3 ). Unrealized gains and losses are presented net of tax. Unrealized gain on available-for-sale investments during fiscal year 2016 was $1.3 million before tax, with an associated tax amount of $539,000 , resulting in a net unrealized gain of $785,000 . Unrealized gain on available-for-sale investments during fiscal year 2015 was $106,000 , offset by tax effect of $38,000 , for a net unrealized gain of $68,000 . Unrealized gain on available-for-sale investments during fiscal year 2014 was $126,000 before tax, with an associated tax amount of $44,000 , resulting in a net unrealized gain of $82,000 . Net Income Per Share Attributable to Cavco Common Stockholders. Basic earnings per common share attributable to Cavco common stockholders is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share attributable to Cavco common stockholders is computed based on the combination of dilutive common share equivalents, comprised of shares issuable under the Company

Receivables [Abstract]
Consumer Loans Receivable	5. Consumer Loans Receivable The Company acquired consumer loans receivable during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 as part of the Palm Harbor transaction. Acquired consumer loans receivable held for investment were acquired at fair value and subsequently are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30. Consumer loans receivable held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market and construction advances are carried at the amount advanced less a valuation allowance. The following table summarizes consumer loans receivable (in thousands): April 2, March 28, Loans held for investment (acquired on Palm Harbor Acquisition Date) $ 68,951 $ 77,670 Loans held for investment (originated after Palm Harbor Acquisition Date) 6,120 5,005 Loans held for sale 8,765 11,903 Construction advances 6,566 4,076 Consumer loans receivable 90,402 98,654 Deferred financing fees and other, net (844 ) (496 ) Consumer loans receivable, net $ 89,558 $ 98,158 As of the date of the Palm Harbor acquisition, management evaluated consumer loans receivable held for investment by CountryPlace to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality and if it was probable that CountryPlace would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loans' contractual terms. The Company also considered expected prepayments and estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows. The Company determined the excess of the loan pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over all cash flows expected as of the date of the Palm Harbor transaction as an amount that cannot be accreted into interest income (the non-accretable difference). The cash flow expected to be collected in excess of the carrying value of the acquired loans is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans (referred to as accretable yield). Interest income on consumer loans receivable is recognized as net revenue. April 2, March 28, (in thousands) Consumer loans receivable held for investment – contractual amount $ 166,793 $ 192,523 Purchase discount: Accretable (69,053 ) (73,202 ) Non-accretable difference (28,536 ) (41,305 ) Less consumer loans receivable reclassified as other assets (253 ) (346 ) Total acquired consumer loans receivable held for investment, net $ 68,951 $ 77,670 Over the life of the acquired loans, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected by CountryPlace. As of the balance sheet date, the Company evaluates whether the present value of expected cash flows, determined using the effective interest rate, has decreased from the value at acquisition and, if so, recognizes an allowance for loan loss. The present value of any subsequent increase in the loan pool’s actual cash flows expected to be collected is used first to reverse any existing allowance for loan loss. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan pool’s remaining life. The weighted averages of assumptions used in the calculation of expected cash flows to be collected are as follows: April 2, March 28, Prepayment rate 13.0 % 12.6 % Default rate 1.0 % 1.7 % Assuming there was a 1% unfavorable variation from the expected level, for each key assumption, the expected cash flows, as of April 2, 2016 , would decrease by approximately $2.4 million and $6.0 million for the expected prepayment rate and expected default rate, respectively. The changes in accretable yield on acquired consumer loans receivable held for investment were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended April 2, March 28, Balance at the beginning of the period $ 73,202 $ 77,737 Additions — — Accretion (10,720 ) (11,230 ) Reclassifications from (to) nonaccretable discount 6,571 6,695 Balance at the end of the period $ 69,053 $ 73,202 The consumer loans held for investment have the following characteristics: April 2, March 28, Weighted average contractual interest rate 9.05 % 9.10 % Weighted average effective interest rate 9.39 % 9.27 % Weighted average months to maturity 170 178 The Company's consumer loans receivable balance consists of fixed-rate, fixed-term and fully-amortizing single-family home loans. These loans are either secured by a manufactured home, excluding the land upon which the home is located (chattel property loans and retail installment sale contracts), or by a combination of the home and the land upon which the home is located (real property mortgage loans). The real property mortgage loans are primarily for manufactured homes. Combined land and home loans are further disaggregated by the type of loan documentation: those conforming to the requirements of Government-Sponsored Enterprises ("GSEs"), and those that are non-conforming. In most instances, CountryPlace’s loans are secured by a first-lien position and are provided for the consumer purchase of a home. In rare instances, CountryPlace may provide other types of loans in second-lien or unsecured positions. Accordingly, CountryPlace classifies its loans receivable as follows: chattel loans, conforming mortgages, non-conforming mortgages and other loans. In measuring credit quality within each segment and class, CountryPlace uses commercially available credit scores (such as FICO®). At the time of each loan’s origination, CountryPlace obtains credit scores from each of the three primary credit bureaus, if available. To evaluate credit quality of individual loans, CountryPlace uses the mid-point of the available credit scores or, if only two scores are available, the Company uses the lower of the two. CountryPlace does not update credit bureau scores after the time of origination. The following table disaggregates CountryPlace’s gross consumer loans receivable for each class by portfolio segment and credit quality indicator as of the time of origination (in thousands): April 2, 2016 Consumer Loans Held for Investment Securitized 2005 Securitized 2007 Unsecuritized Construction Advances Consumer Loans Held For Sale Total Asset Class Credit Quality Indicator (FICO® score) Chattel loans 0-619 $ 776 $ 543 $ 336 $ — $ — $ 1,655 620-719 13,139 9,100 3,683 — 96 26,018 720+ 14,751 9,409 2,324 — 215 26,699 Other 55 — 447 — — 502 Subtotal 28,721 19,052 6,790 — 311 54,874 Conforming mortgages 0-619 — — 164 95 171 430 620-719 — — 1,428 3,355 5,847 10,630 720+ — — 320 3,116 2,436 5,872 Subtotal — — 1,912 6,566 8,454 16,932 Non-conforming mortgages 0-619 88 585 1,392 — — 2,065 620-719 1,365 5,290 3,664 — — 10,319 720+ 1,684 3,382 826 — — 5,892 Other — — 307 — — 307 Subtotal 3,137 9,257 6,189 — — 18,583 Other loans Subtotal — — 13 — — 13 $ 31,858 $ 28,309 $ 14,904 $ 6,566 $ 8,765 $ 90,402 March 28, 2015 Consumer Loans Held for Investment Securitized 2005 Securitized 2007 Unsecuritized Construction Advances Consumer Loans Held For Sale Total Asset Class Credit Quality Indicator (FICO® score) Chattel loans 0-619 $ 937 $ 594 $ 385 $ — $ 58 $ 1,974 620-719 14,907 10,266 3,202 — — 28,375 720+ 16,889 10,845 2,252 — — 29,986 Other 65 — 349 — — 414 Subtotal 32,798 21,705 6,188 — 58 60,749 Conforming mortgages 0-619 — — 167 18 345 530 620-719 — — 1,505 2,909 6,412 10,826 720+ — — 10 1,149 2,501 3,660 Other — — — — 2,587 2,587 Subtotal — — 1,682 4,076 11,845 17,603 Non-conforming mortgages 0-619 91 674 1,571 — — 2,336 620-719 1,467 5,736 3,952 — — 11,155 720+ 1,793 3,717 965 — — 6,475 Other — — 321 — — 321 Subtotal 3,351 10,127 6,809 — — 20,287 Other loans Subtotal — — 15 — — 15 $ 36,149 $ 31,832 $ 14,694 $ 4,076 $ 11,903 $ 98,654 Loan contracts secured by collateral that is geographically concentrated could experience higher rates of delinquencies, default and foreclosure losses than loan contracts secured by collateral that is more geographically dispersed. Thirty-nine percent of the outstanding principal balance of consumer loans receivable portfolio is concentrated in Texas, and 10% is concentrated in Florida. No other state had concentrations in excess of 10% of the principal balance of the consumer loan receivable as of April 2, 2016 . Collateral for repossessed loans is acquired through foreclosure or similar proceedings and is recorded at the estimated fair value of the home, less the costs to sell. At repossession, the fair value of the collateral is computed based on the historical recovery rates of previously charged-off loans; the loan is charged off and the loss is charged to the allowance for loan losses. On a monthly basis, the fair value of the collateral is adjusted to the lower of the amount recorded at repossession or the estimated sales price less estimated costs to sell, based on current information. Repossessed homes totaled approximately $707,000 and $582,000 as of April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , respectively, and are included in prepaid and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. Foreclosure or similar proceedings in progress totaled approximately $340,000 and $650,000 as of April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , respectively.

Commercial Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Loss The Company’s commercial loans receivable balance consists of two classes: (i) direct financing arrangements for the home product needs of our independent retailers, communities and developers; and (ii) amounts loaned by the Company under participation financing programs. Under the terms of the direct programs, the Company provides funds for the independent retailers, communities and developers’ financed home purchases. The notes are secured by the home as collateral and, in some instances, other security depending on the circumstances. The other terms of direct arrangements vary depending on the needs of the borrower and the opportunity for the Company. Under the terms of the participation programs, the Company provides loans to independent floor plan lenders, representing a significant portion of the funds that such financiers then lend to retailers to finance their inventory purchases. The participation commercial loan receivables are unsecured general obligations of the independent floor plan lenders. Commercial loans receivable, net, consist of the following by class of financing notes receivable (in thousands): April 2, March 28, Direct loans receivable $ 24,392 $ 15,802 Participation loans receivable 1,278 2,352 Allowance for loan loss (128 ) (73 ) $ 25,542 $ 18,081 The commercial loans receivable balance has the following characteristics: April 2, March 28, Weighted average contractual interest rate 6.9 % 6.5 % Weighted average months to maturity 9 6 The Company evaluates the potential for loss from its participation loan programs based on the independent lender’s overall financial stability, as well as historical experience, and has determined that an applicable allowance for loan loss was not needed at either April 2, 2016 or March 28, 2015 . With respect to direct programs with communities and developers, borrower activity is monitored on a regular basis and contractual arrangements are in place to provide adequate loss mitigation in the event of a default. For direct programs with independent retailers, the risk of loss is spread over numerous borrowers. Borrower activity is monitored in conjunction with third-party service providers, where applicable, to estimate the potential for loss on the related loans receivable, considering potential exposures including repossession costs, remarketing expenses, impairment of value and the risk of collateral loss. The Company has historically been able to resell repossessed unused homes, thereby mitigating loss experience. If a default occurs and collateral is lost, the Company is exposed to loss of the full value of the home loan. If the Company determines that it is probable that a borrower will default, a specific reserve is determined and recorded within the estimated allowance for loan loss. The Company recorded an allowance for loan loss of $128,000 and $73,000 at April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , respectively. The following table represents changes in the estimated allowance for loan losses, including related additions and deductions to the allowance for loan loss applicable to the direct programs (in thousands): Year Ended April 2, March 28, Balance at beginning of period $ 73 $ 139 Provision for commercial loan credit losses 55 (83 ) Loans charged off, net of recoveries — 17 Balance at end of period $ 128 $ 73 The following table disaggregates commercial loans receivable and the estimated allowance for loan loss for each class of financing receivable by evaluation methodology (in thousands): Direct Commercial Loans Participation Commercial Loans April 2, March 28, April 2, March 28, Commercial loans receivable: Collectively evaluated for impairment $ 12,761 $ 7,229 $ — $ — Individually evaluated for impairment 11,631 8,573 1,278 2,352 $ 24,392 $ 15,802 $ 1,278 $ 2,352 Allowance for loan loss: Collectively evaluated for impairment $ (128 ) $ (73 ) $ — $ — Individually evaluated for impairment — — — — $ (128 ) $ (73 ) $ — $ — Loans are subject to regular review and are given management’s attention whenever a problem situation appears to be developing. Loans with indicators of potential performance problems are placed on watch list status and are subject to additional monitoring and scrutiny. Nonperforming status includes loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis and accruing loans with principal payments past due 90 days or more . The Company’s policy is to place loans on nonaccrual status when interest is past due and remains unpaid 90 days or more or when there is a clear indication that the borrower has the inability or unwillingness to meet payments as they become due. The Company will resume accrual of interest once these factors have been remedied. At April 2, 2016 , there are no commercial loans that are 90 days or more past due that are still accruing interest. Payments received on nonaccrual loans are recorded on a cash basis, first to interest and then to principal. At April 2, 2016 , the Company was not aware of any potential problem loans that would have a material effect on the commercial receivables balance. Charge-offs occur when it becomes probable that outstanding amounts will not be recovered. The following table disaggregates the Company’s commercial loans receivable by class and credit quality indicator (in thousands): Direct Commercial Loans Participation Commercial Loans April 2, March 28, April 2, March 28, Risk profile based on payment activity: Performing $ 24,392 $ 15,728 $ 1,278 $ 2,352 Watch list — — — — Nonperforming — 74 — — $ 24,392 $ 15,802 $ 1,278 $ 2,352 The Company has concentrations of commercial loans receivable related to factory-built homes located in the following states, measured as a percentage of commercial loans receivables principal balance outstanding: April 2, March 28, Texas 33.2 % 42.4 % Arizona 13.3 % 10.4 % The risks created by these concentrations have been considered in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The Company did not have concentrations in excess of 10% of the principal balance of commercial loans receivable in any other states as of April 2, 2016 or March 28, 2015 , respectively. The Company had concentrations of commercial loans receivable with one independent third-party and its affiliates that equaled 32% and 36% of the principal balance outstanding, all of which was secured, as of April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , respectively.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles Intangible assets principally consist of goodwill, trademarks and trade names, state insurance licenses, customer relationships, and other, which includes technology, insurance policies and renewal rights and other. Goodwill, trademarks and trade names and state insurance licenses are indefinite-lived intangible assets and are evaluated for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that more likely than not impairment has occurred. During fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , no impairments were recorded. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis and are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The value of customer relationships is amortized over 4 to 15 years and other intangibles over 7 to 15 years.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill and Other Intangibles. The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"). As such, the Company tests goodwill annually for impairment by reporting unit by first making a qualitative assessment, and if necessary, performing the two-step test and recording an impairment charge if the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying value. The Company has identified two reporting units, factory-built housing and financial services. As of April 2, 2016 , all of the Company's goodwill is attributable to its factory-built housing reporting unit. Certain intangibles are considered indefinite-lived and others are finite-lived and are amortized over their useful lives. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed annually for impairment first by making a qualitative assessment, and if necessary, performing a quantitative assessment and recording an impairment charge if the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of April 2, 2016 . In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment , the Company first assessed qualitative factors to determine that it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount. As a result, performing the two-step impairment test was determined to be unnecessary for fiscal years 2016 or 2015 . Intangible assets principally consist of goodwill, trademarks and trade names, state insurance licenses, customer relationships, and other, which includes technology, insurance policies and renewal rights and other. Goodwill, trademarks and trade names and state insurance licenses are indefinite-lived intangible assets and are evaluated for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that more likely than not impairment has occurred. During fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , no impairments were recorded. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis and are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The value of customer relationships is amortized over 4 to 15 years and other intangibles over 7 to 15 years.

Debt Obligations	12. Debt Obligations Debt obligations consist of amounts related to loans sold that did not qualify for loan sale accounting treatment. The following table summarizes debt obligations (in thousands): April 2, March 28, Acquired securitized financings (acquired as part of the Palm Harbor transaction) Securitized financing 2005-1 $ 27,481 $ 29,469 Securitized financing 2007-1 28,859 33,461 Other secured financings 4,831 4,030 Total securitized financings and other, net $ 61,171 $ 66,960 The Company acquired CountryPlace's securitized financings during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 as a part of the Palm Harbor acquisition. Acquired securitized financings were recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition, which resulted in a discount, and subsequently are accounted for in a manner similar to ASC 310-30 to accrete the discount. The Company considers expected prepayments and estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows for securitized consumer loans receivable held for investment to determine the expected cash flows on securitized financings and the contractual payments. The amount of contractual principal and contractual interest payments due on the securitized financings in excess of all cash flows expected as of the date of the Palm Harbor acquisition cannot be accreted into interest expense (the non-accretable difference). The remaining amount is accreted into interest expense over the remaining life of the obligation (referred to as accretable yield). The following table summarizes acquired securitized financings (in thousands): April 2, March 28, Securitized financings – contractual amount $ 68,673 $ 75,058 Purchase Discount Accretable (12,333 ) (12,128 ) Non-accretable (1) — — Total acquired securitized financings, net $ 56,340 $ 62,930 (1) There is no non-accretable difference, as the contractual payments on acquired securitized financing are determined by the cash collections from the underlying loans. Over the life of the loans, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be paid on securitized financings. The Company evaluates at the balance sheet date whether the present value of its securitized financings, determined using the effective interest rate, has increased or decreased. The present value of any subsequent change in cash flows expected to be paid adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the securitized financing’s remaining life. The changes in accretable yield on securitized financings were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended April 2, March 28, Balance at the beginning of the period $ 12,128 $ 15,199 Additions — — Accretion (3,579 ) (4,025 ) Adjustment to cash flows 3,784 954 Balance at the end of the period $ 12,333 $ 12,128 On July 12, 2005 , prior to Fleetwood's acquisition of Palm Harbor and CountryPlace, CountryPlace completed its initial securitization (2005-1) for approximately $141.0 million of loans, which was funded by issuing bonds totaling approximately $118.4 million . The bonds were issued in four different classes: Class A-1 totaling $36.3 million with a coupon rate of 4.23% ; Class A-2 totaling $27.4 million with a coupon rate of 4.42% ; Class A-3 totaling $27.3 million with a coupon rate of 4.80% ; and Class A-4 totaling $27.4 million with a coupon rate of 5.20% . The bonds mature at varying dates and at issuance had an expected weighted average maturity of 4.66 years . For accounting purposes, this transaction was structured as a securitized borrowing. As of April 2, 2016 , the Class A-1 and Class A-2 bonds have been retired. On March 22, 2007 , prior to Fleetwood's acquisition of Palm Harbor and CountryPlace, CountryPlace completed its second securitization (2007-1) for approximately $116.5 million of loans, which was funded by issuing bonds totaling approximately $101.9 million . The bonds were issued in four classes: Class A-1 totaling $28.9 million with a coupon rate of 5.484% ; Class A-2 totaling $23.4 million with a coupon rate of 5.232% ; Class A-3 totaling $24.5 million with a coupon rate of 5.593% ; and Class A-4 totaling $25.1 million with a coupon rate of 5.846% . The bonds mature at varying dates and at issuance had an expected weighted average maturity of 4.86 years . For accounting purposes, this transaction was also structured as a securitized borrowing. As of April 2, 2016 , the Class A-1 and Class A-2 bonds have been retired. CountryPlace’s securitized debt is subject to provisions that require certain levels of overcollateralization. Overcollateralization is equal to CountryPlace's equity in the bonds. Failure to satisfy these provisions could cause cash, which would normally be distributed to CountryPlace, to be used for repayment of the principal of the related Class A bonds until the required overcollateralization level is reached. During periods when the overcollateralization is below the specified level, cash collections from the securitized loans in excess of servicing fees payable to CountryPlace and amounts owed to the Class A bondholders, trustee and surety, are applied to reduce the Class A debt until such time the overcollateralization level reaches the specified level. Therefore, failure to meet the overcollateralization requirement could adversely affect the timing of cash flows received by CountryPlace. However, principal payments of the securitized debt, including accelerated amounts, is payable only from cash collections from the securitized loans and no additional sources of repayment are required or permitted. As of April 2, 2016 , the 2005-1 and 2007-1 securitized portfolios were within the required overcollateralization level. Scheduled maturities for future fiscal years of the Company’s debt obligations consist of the following (in thousands): 2017 $ 6,266 2018 5,225 2019 4,687 2020 22,927 2021 22,080 Actual payments may vary from those above, resulting from prepayments or defaults on the underlying mortgage portfolio.

Insurance [Abstract]
Reinsurance	13. Reinsurance Standard Casualty is primarily a specialty writer of manufactured home physical damage insurance. Certain of Standard Casualty’s premiums and benefits are assumed from and ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. The ceded reinsurance agreements provide Standard Casualty with increased capacity to write larger risks and maintain its exposure to loss within its capital resources. Standard Casualty remains obligated for amounts ceded in the event that the reinsurers do not meet their obligations. Substantially all of Standard Casualty’s assumed reinsurance is with one entity. The effects of reinsurance on premiums written and earned are as follows (in thousands): Year Ended Year Ended April 2, 2016 March 28, 2015 Written Earned Written Earned Direct premiums $ 15,595 $ 14,764 $ 13,863 $ 12,865 Assumed premiums—nonaffiliate 22,580 21,191 20,382 18,680 Ceded premiums—nonaffiliate (11,088 ) (11,088 ) (9,733 ) (9,733 ) Net premiums $ 27,087 $ 24,867 $ 24,512 $ 21,812 Typical insurance policies written or assumed by Standard Casualty have a maximum coverage of $300,000 per claim, of which Standard Casualty cedes $200,000 of the risk of loss per reinsurance. Therefore, Standard Casualty maintains risk of loss limited to $100,000 per claim on typical policies. Amounts are recoverable by Standard Casualty through reinsurance for catastrophic losses in excess of $1.0 million per occurrence up to a maximum of $44.0 million in the aggregate. Purchasing reinsurance contracts protects Standard Casualty from frequency and/or severity of losses incurred on insurance policies issued, such as in the case of a catastrophe that generates a large number of serious claims on multiple policies at the same time.

As Cavco’s taxable income has grown, we have realized additional benefit from tax deductions established to favor domestic manufacturing operations. We also received benefit from tax credits, including the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, the Energy Efficient Home Credit and fuel tax credits. The Company recorded an insignificant amount of unrecognized tax benefits during fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , and there would be an insignificant effect on the effective tax rate if all unrecognized tax benefits were recognized. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At April 2, 2016 , the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards that total $11.3 million , that began to expire in 2015. As a result, the Company recorded a $26,000 valuation allowance against the related deferred tax asset. The Company periodically evaluates the deferred tax assets based on the requirements established in ASC 740 which requires the recording of a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the need for or amount of any valuation allowance involves significant management judgment and is based upon the evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including management projections of anticipated taxable income. At April 2, 2016 , the Company evaluated forecasted taxable income and determined that, except as described above, all of the deferred tax assets would be utilized in future periods. Ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on our ability to meet these forecasts in future periods. Income tax returns are filed in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in several state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to examination by the IRS for years before fiscal year 2013. In general, the Company is no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal year 2012. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to the Company’s financial position. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit related to any particular tax position is not anticipated to change significantly within the next 12 months. The provision for income taxes generally represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	15. Commitments and Contingencies Repurchase Contingencies . The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for independent retailers of its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer. The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The price the Company is obligated to pay generally declines over the period of the agreement (generally 18 to 36 months , calculated from the date of sale to the retailer) and the risk of loss is further reduced by the resale value of the repurchased homes. The Company applies ASC 460 and ASC 450-20 to account for its liability for repurchase commitments. Under the provisions of ASC 460, issuance of a guarantee results in two different types of obligations: (1) a non-contingent obligation to stand ready to perform under the repurchase commitment (accounted for pursuant to ASC 460) and (2) a contingent obligation to make future payments under the conditions of the repurchase commitment (accounted for pursuant to ASC 450-20). Management reviews the retailers' inventories to estimate the amount of inventory subject to repurchase obligation, which is used to calculate: (1) the fair value of the non-contingent obligation for repurchase commitments and (2) the contingent liability based on historical information available at the time. During the period in which a home is sold (inception of a repurchase commitment), the Company records the greater of these two calculations as a liability for repurchase commitments and as a reduction to revenue. (1) The Company estimates the fair value of the non-contingent portion of its manufacturer's inventory repurchase commitment under the provisions of ASC 460 when a home is shipped to retailers whose floor plan financing includes a repurchase commitment. The fair value of the inventory repurchase agreement is determined by calculating the net present value of the difference in (a) the Company's interest cost to carry the inventory over the maximum repurchase liability period at the prevailing floor plan note interest rate and (b) the retailer's interest cost to carry the inventory over the maximum repurchase liability period at the interest rate of a similar type loan without a manufacturer's repurchase agreement in force. Following the inception of the commitment, the recorded reserve is reduced over the repurchase period in conjunction with applicable curtailment arrangements and is eliminated once the retailer sells the home. (2) The Company estimates the contingent obligation to make future payments under its manufacturer's inventory repurchase commitment for the same pool of commitments as used in the fair value calculation above and records the greater of the two calculations. This contingent obligation is estimated using historical loss factors, including the frequency of repurchases and the losses experienced by the Company for repurchased inventory. Additionally, subsequent to the inception of the repurchase commitment, the Company evaluates the likelihood that it will be called on to perform under the inventory repurchase commitments. If it becomes probable that a retailer will default and an ASC 450-20 loss reserve should be recorded, then such contingent liability is recorded equal to the estimated loss on repurchase. Based on identified changes in retailers' financial conditions, the Company evaluates the probability of default for retailers who are identified at an elevated risk of default and applies a probability of default, based on historical default rates. Commensurate with this default probability evaluation, the Company reviews repurchase notifications received from floor plan sources and reviews retailer inventory for expected repurchase notifications based on various communications from the lenders and retailers. The Company's repurchase commitments for the retailers in the category of elevated risk of default are excluded from the pool of commitments used in both of the calculations at (1) and (2) above. Changes in the reserve are recorded as an adjustment to revenue. The maximum amount for which the Company was liable under such agreements approximated $46.6 million and $28.3 million at April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , respectively, without reduction for the resale value of the homes. The Company had a reserve for repurchase commitments of $1.7 million and $2.2 million at April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , respectively. Activity in the liability for estimated repurchase contingencies was as follows for fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 (in thousands): Fiscal Year 2016 2015 2014 Balance at beginning of period $ 2,240 $ 1,845 $ 1,352 (Credited) Charged to costs and expenses (187 ) 522 493 Payments and deductions (393 ) (127 ) — Balance at end of period $ 1,660 $ 2,240 $ 1,845 Leases. The Company leases certain equipment and facilities under operating leases with various renewal options. Rent expense was $5.1 million , $4.5 million and $4.4 million for the fiscal years ended April 2, 2016 , March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014 , respectively. Future minimum lease commitments under all noncancelable operating leases having a remaining term in excess of one year at April 2, 2016 , are as follows (in thousands): 2017 $ 2,997 2018 2,567 2019 1,899 2020 1,308 2021 and thereafter 1,087 $ 9,858 Letters of Credit. To secure certain reinsurance contracts, Standard Casualty maintains an irrevocable letter of credit of $7.0 million to provide assurance that Standard Casualty will fulfill its reinsurance obligations. This letter of credit is secured by certain of the Company’s investments. Construction-Period Mortgages. CountryPlace funds construction-period mortgages through periodic advances during the period of home construction. At the time of initial funding, CountryPlace commits to fully fund the loan contract in accordance with a predetermined schedule. Subsequent advances are contingent upon the performance of contractual obligations by the seller of the home and the borrower. Cumulative advances on construction-period mortgages are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at the amount advanced less a valuation allowance, which are included in consumer loans receivable. The total loan contract amount, less cumulative advances, represents an off-balance sheet contingent commitment of CountryPlace to fund future advances. Loan contracts with off-balance sheet commitments are summarized below (in thousands): April 2, March 28, Construction loan contract amount $ 15,109 $ 9,591 Cumulative advances (6,566 ) (4,076 ) Remaining construction contingent commitment $ 8,543 $ 5,515 Representations and Warranties of Mortgages Sold . CountryPlace sells loans to GSEs and whole-loan purchasers. In connection with these activities, CountryPlace provides to the GSEs and whole-loan purchasers, representations and warranties related to the loans sold. These representations and warranties generally relate to the ownership of the loan, the validity of the lien securing the loan, the loan’s compliance with the criteria for inclusion in the sale transactions, including compliance with underwriting standards or loan criteria established by the buyer and CountryPlace’s ability to deliver documentation in compliance with applicable laws. Generally, representations and warranties may be enforced at any time over the life of the loan. Upon a breach of a representation, CountryPlace may be required to repurchase the loan or to indemnify a party for incurred losses. Repurchase demands and claims for indemnification payments are reviewed on a loan-by-loan basis to validate if there has been a breach requiring repurchase. CountryPlace manages the risk of repurchase through underwriting and quality assurance practices and by servicing the mortgage loans to investor standards. CountryPlace maintains a reserve for these contingent repurchase and indemnification obligations. This reserve of $785,000 and $867,000 as of April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , respectively, included in accrued liabilities, reflects management’s estimate of probable loss. CountryPlace considers a variety of assumptions, including borrower performance (both actual and estimated future defaults), historical repurchase demands and loan defect rates to estimate the liability for loan repurchases and indemnifications. During the year ended April 2, 2016 , one claim request resulted in an indemnification agreements being executed. Interest Rate Lock Commitments . In originating loans for sale, CountryPlace issues interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") to prospective borrowers and third-party originators. These IRLCs represent an agreement to extend credit to a loan applicant, or an agreement to purchase a loan from a third-party originator, whereby the interest rate on the loan is set prior to loan closing or sale. These IRLCs bind CountryPlace to fund the approved loan at the specified rate regardless of whether interest rates or market prices for similar loans have changed between the commitment date and the closing date. As such, outstanding IRLCs are subject to interest rate risk and related loan sale price risk during the period from the date of the IRLC through the earlier of the loan sale date or IRLC expiration date. The loan commitments generally range between 30 and 180 days; however, borrowers are not obligated to close the related loans. As a result, CountryPlace is subject to fallout risk related to IRLCs, which is realized if approved borrowers choose not to close on the loans within the terms of the IRLCs unless the commitment is successfully paired with another loan that may mitigate losses from fallout. As of April 2, 2016 CountryPlace had outstanding IRLCs with a notional amount of $4.3 million and are recorded at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). ASC 815 clarifies that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The estimated fair values of IRLCs are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of IRLCs is based on the value of the underlying mortgage loan adjusted for: (i) estimated cost to complete and originate the loan and (ii) the estimated percentage of IRLCs that will result in closed mortgage loans. The initial and subsequent changes in the value of IRLCs are a component of gain (loss) on mortgage loans held for sale. During fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , CountryPlace recognized a loss of $11,000 , a gain of $34,000 and a loss of $42,000 , respectively, on the outstanding IRLCs. Forward Sales Commitments . CountryPlace manages the risk profiles of a portion of its outstanding IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale by entering into forward sales of mortgage backed securities ("MBS") and whole loan sale commitments. As of April 2, 2016 CountryPlace had $17.0 million in outstanding notional forward sales of MBSs and forward sales commitments. Commitments to forward sales of whole loans are typically in an amount proportionate with the amount of IRLCs expected to close in particular time frames, assuming no change in mortgage interest rates, for the respective loan products intended for whole loan sale. The estimated fair values of forward sales of MBS and forward sale commitments are based on quoted market values and are recorded within other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , CountryPlace recognized a gain of $23,000 , a loss of $78,000 and a gain of $28,000 , respectively, on forward sales and whole loan sale commitments. Legal Matters . The Company is party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to its business. Certain of the claims pending against the Company in these proceedings allege, among other things, breach of contract and warranty, product liability and personal injury. Although litigation is inherently uncertain, based on past experience and the information currently available, management does not believe that the currently pending and threatened litigation or claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, future events or circumstances currently unknown to management will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods.
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Repurchase Contingencies . The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for independent retailers of its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer. The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The price the Company is obligated to pay generally declines over the period of the agreement (generally 18 to 36 months , calculated from the date of sale to the retailer) and the risk of loss is further reduced by the resale value of the repurchased homes. The Company applies ASC 460 and ASC 450-20 to account for its liability for repurchase commitments. Under the provisions of ASC 460, issuance of a guarantee results in two different types of obligations: (1) a non-contingent obligation to stand ready to perform under the repurchase commitment (accounted for pursuant to ASC 460) and (2) a contingent obligation to make future payments under the conditions of the repurchase commitment (accounted for pursuant to ASC 450-20).
Derivatives, Reporting of Derivative Activity [Policy Text Block]	Interest Rate Lock Commitments . In originating loans for sale, CountryPlace issues interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") to prospective borrowers and third-party originators. These IRLCs represent an agreement to extend credit to a loan applicant, or an agreement to purchase a loan from a third-party originator, whereby the interest rate on the loan is set prior to loan closing or sale. These IRLCs bind CountryPlace to fund the approved loan at the specified rate regardless of whether interest rates or market prices for similar loans have changed between the commitment date and the closing date. As such, outstanding IRLCs are subject to interest rate risk and related loan sale price risk during the period from the date of the IRLC through the earlier of the loan sale date or IRLC expiration date. The loan commitments generally range between 30 and 180 days; however, borrowers are not obligated to close the related loans. As a result, CountryPlace is subject to fallout risk related to IRLCs, which is realized if approved borrowers choose not to close on the loans within the terms of the IRLCs unless the commitment is successfully paired with another loan that may mitigate losses from fallout. As of April 2, 2016 CountryPlace had outstanding IRLCs with a notional amount of $4.3 million and are recorded at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). ASC 815 clarifies that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings.

The fair value of IRLCs is based on the value of the underlying mortgage loan adjusted for: (i) estimated cost to complete and originate the loan and (ii) the estimated percentage of IRLCs that will result in closed mortgage loans. The initial and subsequent changes in the value of IRLCs are a component of gain (loss) on mortgage loans held for sale. During fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , CountryPlace recognized a loss of $11,000 , a gain of $34,000 and a loss of $42,000 , respectively, on the outstanding IRLCs. Forward Sales Commitments .

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	16. Stock-Based Compensation The Company maintains stock incentive plans whereby stock option grants or awards of restricted stock may be made to certain officers, directors and key employees. The plans, which are shareholder approved, permit the award of up to 1,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which 386,131 shares were still available for grant. When options are exercised, new shares of the Company’s common stock are issued. Stock options may not be granted below 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant and generally expire seven years from the date of grant. Stock options and awards of restricted stock typically vest over a one to five year period as determined by the plan administrator (the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of independent directors). The stock incentive plans provide for accelerated vesting of stock options and removal of restrictions on restricted stock awards upon a change in control (as defined in the plans). The Company applies the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). Stock option compensation expense, including restricted stock, decreased income before income taxes by approximately $1.8 million , $1.7 million and $2.4 million for fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. As of April 2, 2016 , total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was approximately $2.2 million and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.73 years. The following table summarizes the option activity within the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 : Number of Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Options outstanding at March 30, 2013 399,700 $ 35.83 Granted 64,450 52.99 Exercised (9,500 ) 37.66 Canceled or expired (10,750 ) 48.28 Options outstanding at March 29, 2014 443,900 $ 37.98 3.67 $ 18,047 Granted 80,730 78.35 Exercised (14,375 ) 34.76 Canceled or expired (3,275 ) 51.13 Options outstanding at March 28, 2015 506,980 $ 44.42 3.29 $ 15,836 Granted 90,500 75.27 Exercised (104,500 ) 33.46 Canceled or expired (1,000 ) 75.90 Options outstanding at April 2, 2016 491,980 $ 51.91 3.28 $ 35,906 Exercisable at March 29, 2014 259,625 $ 34.56 3.03 $ 11,445 Exercisable at March 28, 2015 347,750 $ 36.17 2.36 $ 13,537 Exercisable at April 2, 2016 320,975 $ 41.01 2.09 $ 24,786 The weighted-average estimated fair value of employee stock options granted during fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 were $27.83 , $30.11 and $21.44 , respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $4.9 million , $593,000 and $257,000 , respectively. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The fair values of options granted were estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted average assumptions: Fiscal Year 2016 2015 2014 Volatility 39.8 % 42.4 % 47.7 % Risk-free interest rate 1.5 % 1.5 % 1.2 % Dividend yield — % — % — % Expected option life in years 5.03 4.87 4.52 The Company estimates the expected term of options granted by using the simplified method as prescribed by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 107 and SAB 110. The Company uses the simplified method as the Company does not have sufficient historical share option exercise data due to the limited number of shares granted under the programs as well as changes in the Company's business and grantee population due to the acquisitions of Fleetwood and Palm Harbor, rendering existing historical experience less reliable in formulating expectations for current grants. The Company estimates the expected volatility of its common stock taking into consideration its historical stock price movement and its expected future stock price trends based on known or anticipated events. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate that it uses in the option pricing model on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the option-pricing model. The Company is required to estimate future forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation cost only for those awards that are expected to vest. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense using the straight-line attribution method.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	17. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on the combination of dilutive common share equivalents, comprised of shares issuable under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options to purchase shares, which is calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts): Fiscal Year 2016 2015 2014 Net income attributable to Cavco common stockholders $ 28,541 $ 23,817 $ 16,238 Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic 8,889,731 8,854,359 8,262,688 Common stock equivalents—treasury stock method 156,616 161,420 116,336 Diluted 9,046,347 9,015,779 8,379,024 Net income per share attributable to Cavco common stockholders: Basic $ 3.21 $ 2.69 $ 1.97 Diluted $ 3.15 $ 2.64 $ 1.94 There were 11,161 anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended April 2, 2016 , 2,669 for the year ended March 28, 2015 and none for the year ended March 29, 2014 .

(2) The fair value approximates book value based on the non-marketable nature of the investments. (3) Includes consumer loans receivable held for investment, held for sale and construction advances. The fair value of the loans held for investment is based on the discounted value of the remaining principal and interest cash flows. The fair value of the loans held for sale are estimated based on recent GSE mortgage backed bond prices. The fair value of the construction advances approximates book value and the sales price of these loans is estimated based on construction completed. (4) The fair values are based on changes in GSE mortgage backed bond prices, and additionally for IRLCs, pull through rates. (5) The fair value is estimated using market interest rates of comparable loans. (6) The fair value is estimated using recent public transactions of similar asset-backed securities. (7) The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is based on the present value of expected net cash flows related to servicing these loans. In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. When the Company uses observable market prices for identical securities that are traded in less active markets, it classifies such securities as Level 2. When observable market prices for identical securities are not available, the Company prices its marketable debt instruments using non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated with observable market data; quoted market prices for similar instruments; or pricing models, such as a discounted cash flow model, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated with observable market data. Non-binding market consensus prices are based on the proprietary valuation models of pricing providers or brokers. These valuation models incorporate a number of inputs, including non-binding and binding broker quotes; observable market prices for identical or similar securities; and the internal assumptions of pricing providers or brokers that use observable market inputs and, to a lesser degree, unobservable market inputs. Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands): April 2, 2016 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Securities issued by the U.S Treasury and Government (1) $ 999 $ — $ 999 $ — Mortgage-backed securities (1) 5,819 — 5,819 — Securities issued by states and political subdivisions (1) 7,421 — 7,421 — Corporate debt securities (1) 1,164 — 1,164 — Marketable equity securities (1) 7,844 7,844 — — Interest rate lock commitment derivatives (2) 8 — — 8 Forward loan sale commitment derivatives (2) (31 ) — — (31 ) Mortgage servicing rights (3) 803 — — 803 (1) Unrealized gains or losses on investments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at each measurement date. (2) Gains or losses on derivatives are recognized in current period earnings through cost of sales. (3) Changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights are recognized in the current period earnings through net revenue. No transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 occurred during the year ended April 2, 2016 . The Company’s policy regarding the recording of transfers between levels is to record any such transfers at the end of the reporting period. Financial instruments for which fair value is disclosed but not required to be recognized in the balance sheet on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands): April 2, 2016 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Loans held for investment $ 110,241 $ — $ — $ 110,241 Loans held for sale 9,270 — 9,270 — Loans held—construction advances 6,566 — — 6,566 Commercial loans receivable 25,688 — — 25,688 Securitized financings (60,220 ) — (60,220 ) — Non-marketable equity investments 14,841 — — 14,841 Financial instruments measured on a nonrecurring basis also include impaired loans (nonaccrual loans) and loans held for sale. No recent sales have been executed in an orderly market of manufactured home loan portfolios with comparable product features, credit characteristics, or performance. Impaired loans are measured using Level 3 inputs that are calculated using estimated discounted future cash flows with discount rates considered to reflect current market conditions. Loans held for sale are measured at the lower of cost or fair value using Level 2 inputs that consist of commitments on hand from investors. These loans are held for relatively short periods, typically no more than 45 days . As a result, changes in loan-specific credit risk are not a significant component of the change in fair value. The cost of loans held for sale is lower than the fair value as of April 2, 2016 . FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825"), requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time based on the characteristics of the financial instruments and the relevant market information. Where available, quoted market prices are used. In other cases, fair values are based on estimates using other valuation techniques. These techniques involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by the assumptions used and the judgments made regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss experience and other factors. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates and the resulting fair values. Derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in an immediate sale of the instrument. Also, because of differences in methodologies and assumptions used to estimate fair values, the Company’s fair values should not be compared to those of other companies. Under ASC 825, fair value estimates are based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying market value of the Company. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale when the fair value of such long-lived assets is below their carrying values. The Company records impairment charges on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that long-lived assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. The Company recorded no impairment charges on assets held for sale or used in operations during the fiscal years ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 . Mortgage Servicing . Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs") are the rights to receive a portion of the interest coupon and fees collected from the mortgagors for performing specified mortgage servicing activities, which consist of collecting loan payments, remitting principal and interest payments to investors, managing escrow accounts, performing loss mitigation activities on behalf of investors and otherwise administering the loan servicing portfolio. MSRs are initially recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value subsequent to the initial capitalization are recorded in net revenue in the Company's results of operations. The Company recognizes MSRs on all loans sold to investors that meet the requirements for sale accounting and for which servicing rights are retained. The Company applies fair value accounting to MSRs, with all changes in fair value recorded to net revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 860-50, Servicing Assets and Liabilities . The fair value of MSRs is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows related to servicing these loans. The revenue components of the cash flows are servicing fees, interest earned on custodial accounts and other ancillary income. The expense components include operating costs related to servicing the loans (including delinquency and foreclosure costs) and interest expenses on servicer advances that the Company believes are consistent with the assumptions major market participants use in valuing MSRs. The expected cash flows are primarily impacted by prepayment estimates, delinquencies and market discounts. Generally, the value of MSRs is expected to increase when interest rates rise and decrease when interest rates decline, due to the effect those changes in interest rates have on prepayment estimates. Other factors noted above as well as the overall market demand for MSRs may also affect the valuation. April 2, March 28, Number of loans serviced with MSRs 3,728 3,306 Weighted average servicing fee (basis points) 30.43 29.88 Capitalized servicing multiple 61.65 % 42.10 % Capitalized servicing rate (basis points) 18.76 12.58 Serviced portfolio with MSRs (in thousands) $ 428,324 $ 380,120 Mortgage servicing rights (in thousands) $ 803 $ 475

Employee Benefit Plans	19. Employee Benefit Plans The Company has a self-funded group medical plan which is administered by third-party administrators. The medical plan has reinsurance coverage limiting liability for any individual employee loss to a maximum of $300,000 . Incurred claims identified under the third-party administrator's incident reporting system and incurred but not reported claims are accrued based on estimates that incorporate the Company's past experience, as well as other considerations such as the nature of each claim or incident, relevant trend factors and advice from consulting actuaries when necessary. Medical claims expense was $15.7 million , $6.6 million and $6.1 million for fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company sponsors an employee savings plan (the "401k Plan") that is intended to provide participating employees with additional income upon retirement. Employees may contribute their eligible compensation up to federal limits to the 401k Plan. The Company match is discretionary, and may be up to 50% of the first 5% of eligible compensation contributed by employees up to a maximum of $1,000 . For calendar year 2015 , the Company match was 20% of the first 3% of eligible compensation contributed by employees.

("Fleetwood"), was jointly owned by the Company and its investment partners, Third Avenue Value Fund and an affiliate (collectively, "Third Avenue"). Third Avenue's financial interest in Fleetwood was reported as a "redeemable noncontrolling interest" in the Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 20 ). On July 22, 2013, Cavco purchased from Third Avenue all noncontrolling interests in Fleetwood, which owns Fleetwood Homes, Palm Harbor Homes, CountryPlace and Standard Casualty (the "Fleetwood Businesses"). The Company satisfied the purchase price with 1,867,370 shares of Company common stock issued to Third Avenue. The acquisition closed on July 22, 2013, resulting in Cavco owning 100 percent of the Fleetwood Businesses and entitling Cavco to all of the associated earnings from that date forward. As of April 2, 2016 , Third Avenue and its related funds owned approximately 8.2% of our outstanding common shares. Third Avenue and Third Avenue Management LLC are either directly or indirectly under common control. Third Avenue is considered a principal owner, and therefore a related party, under ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures ("ASC 850") (see Note 21 ). . Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest During fiscal year 2010, the Company and an investment partner, Third Avenue Value Fund, formed Fleetwood, with an initial contribution of $35.0 million each for equal 50 percent ownership interests. On July 21, 2009, Fleetwood entered into an asset purchase agreement with Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to purchase certain assets and liabilities of its manufactured housing business. The Company and Third Avenue Value Fund subsequently contributed an additional $36.0 million each in anticipation of the purchase of Palm Harbor, which was completed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Subsequent to the transaction, a portion of Third Avenue Value Fund’s interests were transferred to an affiliate along with the applicable rights and obligations. This transfer had no impact on Cavco’s ownership interest. Since the Fleetwood Acquisition, financial information for Fleetwood was included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 810. Management determined that, although Fleetwood was only 50 percent owned by the Company, Cavco had a controlling interest and was required to fully consolidate the results of Fleetwood. Third Avenue’s financial interest in Fleetwood was considered a "redeemable noncontrolling interest,"as determined by GAAP, and was designated as such in the Consolidated Financial Statements. On July 22, 2013, Cavco purchased all noncontrolling interests in Fleetwood, Cavco’s subsidiary that owns Fleetwood Homes, Palm Harbor Homes, CountryPlace and Standard Casualty (the "Fleetwood Businesses"). As consideration for the 50 percent interest that it did not already own, the Company issued 1,867,370 shares of Cavco common stock, derived by dividing the purchase price of $91.4 million by the 60-day volume-weighted average price per share, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Historically, 50 percent of the financial results of these businesses has been recorded as attributable to Cavco’s common stockholders in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The acquisition closed on July 22, 2013, resulting in Cavco owning 100 percent of the Fleetwood Businesses and entitling Cavco to all of the associated earnings from that date forward. The acquisition was accounted for as an equity transaction under ASC 810; accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded in the purchase of the noncontrolling interest, which had a carrying value of $94.4 million as of the closing date. As of July 22, 2013, Fleetwood and its subsidiaries are wholly-owned by the Company and Third Avenue no longer has a noncontrolling interest in Fleetwood.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	21. Related Party Transactions As discussed in Note 20 , on July 22, 2013, Cavco completed the purchase of all noncontrolling interests in Cavco’s subsidiary that owns Fleetwood Homes, Palm Harbor Homes, CountryPlace and Standard Casualty from Third Avenue. The Company satisfied the purchase price with 1,867,370 newly issued shares of Company common stock (the "Cavco Shares"). Third Avenue is considered a principal owner, and therefore a related party, under ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures ("ASC 850"). Subsequent to the transaction, Third Avenue beneficially owned approximately 22.8% of Cavco's outstanding common stock. As of April 2, 2016 , Third Avenue Management LLC beneficially owned approximately 8.2% of our outstanding common shares. Third Avenue Management LLC and Third Avenue Value Fund are either directly or indirectly under common control. The Company issued the Cavco Shares in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC seeking registration of the Cavco Shares. The SEC declared the registration statement effective on October 11, 2013. However, Third Avenue remains subject to certain restrictions on its ability to transfer its Cavco Shares. During the Standstill Period (defined below) Cavco has a "right of first offer" to acquire any Cavco Shares that Third Avenue wishes to transfer to independent third parties. From and after the closing and continuing until the termination of the Standstill Period, Third Avenue agreed that it would vote all Cavco Shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Company's Board of Directors with respect to any action, proposal or other matter to be voted on by the stockholders of Cavco. The "Standstill Period" ends on the earlier of (i) the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date (July 22, 2017) or (ii) the third anniversary of the Closing Date (July 22, 2016) if Third Avenue owns less than 12.5% of the outstanding Cavco common stock on the third anniversary date. Additionally, during the Standstill Period, Third Avenue has agreed not to do any of the following without the prior written consent of the Company: acquire beneficial ownership of common equity securities of the Company or any other securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company; deposit any securities of the Company in a voting trust or similar arrangement or subject any voting securities of the Company to any voting agreement, pooling arrangement or similar arrangement, or grant any proxy with respect to any voting securities of the Company; enter, agree to enter, propose or offer to enter into or facilitate any merger, business combination, tender offer, recapitalization, restructuring, change in control transaction or other similar extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; make, or in any way participate or engage in, any "solicitation" of "proxies" to vote, or advise or knowingly influence any person with respect to the voting of, any voting securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; call, or seek to call, a meeting of the shareholders of the Company or initiate any shareholder proposal for action by the shareholders of the Company; form, join or in any way participate in a Group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), with respect to any voting securities of the Company; otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the Board or the management or policies of the Company; publicly disclose any intention, plan or arrangement prohibited by, or inconsistent with, the foregoing; advise or knowingly assist or encourage or enter into any discussions, negotiations, agreements or arrangements with any other person or Group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) in connection with the foregoing; or knowingly transfer more than 3% of the Cavco Shares to any one individual or entity. In July 2015, the Company’s CEO made a payment of $1.1 million to the Company, representing the repayment of performance bonuses related to fiscal 2012, 2014 and 2015 that were determined to be in excess of the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan limits and made to the CEO during those periods.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation. These Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Cavco Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Cavco"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classification. The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of April 2, 2016 , through the date of the filing of this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Subsequent to period end, there was an increase in homeowner insurance claims in our financial services segment, the result of severe adverse Spring weather activity in Texas. The total impact of these events is not yet known, as the Company is still adjusting the claims and determining recoveries from reinsurance for catastrophic losses. In fiscal year 2010, the Company and its investment partners, Third Avenue Value Fund and an affiliate (collectively, "Third Avenue"), formed a jointly-owned corporation, Fleetwood Homes, Inc. ("Fleetwood") and purchased certain manufactured housing assets and liabilities of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. (the "Fleetwood Acquisition"). Third Avenue Management LLC is an investment adviser to Third Avenue Value Fund and is a related party to the Company, as described further in Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Fleetwood, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Palm Harbor"), acquired certain manufactured housing assets and liabilities of Palm Harbor Homes, Inc., a Florida corporation, and certain of its subsidiaries including CountryPlace Acceptance Corp. ("CountryPlace") on April 23, 2011 (the "Palm Harbor Acquisition Date"). Subsequently, the stock of Standard Casualty Co. ("Standard Casualty") was acquired on June 10, 2011 after regulatory approval was received from the Texas Department of Insurance. Since the Fleetwood Acquisition, financial information for Fleetwood has been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation ("ASC 810"). Management determined that, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), although Fleetwood was previously only 50 percent owned by the Company, Cavco had a controlling interest and was required to fully consolidate the results of Fleetwood. Third Avenue’s financial interest in Fleetwood was considered a "redeemable noncontrolling interest" and was designated as such in the Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 20 ). On July 22, 2013, Cavco purchased all noncontrolling interests in Fleetwood pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, which was filed with the SEC on June 14, 2013 as an exhibit to the Company's Periodic Report on Form 8-K (see Note 21 ). The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction and eliminated the need for noncontrolling interest accounting. As a result of the transaction, Cavco owns 100 percent of Fleetwood and its holdings, including Fleetwood Homes, Palm Harbor Homes, CountryPlace and Standard Casualty. On March 30, 2015, the Company purchased certain manufactured housing assets and liabilities of Chariot Eagle, LLC, which produces park model RVs and manufactured homes distributed in the southeastern United States. On May 1, 2015, the Company also purchased certain manufactured housing assets and liabilities of Fairmont Homes, a premier builder of manufactured and modular homes and park model RVs serving the Midwest, western Great Plains states, the Northeast and several provinces in Canada. These operations include manufactured housing production facilities in Ocala, Florida; Nappanee, Indiana; an
Temporary Equity Classification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Since the Fleetwood Acquisition, financial information for Fleetwood was included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 810. Management determined that, although Fleetwood was only 50 percent owned by the Company, Cavco had a controlling interest and was required to fully consolidate the results of Fleetwood. Third Avenue’s financial interest in Fleetwood was considered a "redeemable noncontrolling interest,"as determined by GAAP, and was designated as such in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Nature of Operations	Nature of Operations. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, the Company designs and produces manufactured homes which are sold to a network of independent retailers located throughout the continental United States as well as through Company-owned retail sales locations which offer the Company’s homes to retail customers. Our financial services group is comprised of a mortgage subsidiary, CountryPlace, an approved Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA" or "Fannie Mae") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC" and "Freddie Mac") seller/servicer, a Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA" or "Ginnie Mae") mortgage backed securities issuer which offers conforming mortgages and chattel loans to purchasers of factory-built and site-built homes. Also included is our insurance subsidiary, Standard Casualty, which provides property and casualty insurance to owners of manufactured homes.
Fiscal Year Change	Fiscal Year. The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest to March 31 of each year. Each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks, with an occasional fourth quarter extending to 14 weeks, if necessary, for the fiscal year to end on the Saturday nearest to March 31. The Company’s current fiscal year consisted of 53 weeks and ended on April 2, 2016 .
Accounting Estimate	Accounting Estimates. Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, investments, consumer loans receivable, commercial loans receivable, accounts payable, certain accrued liabilities and securitized financings. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because their maturity is less than three months. The carrying amounts of restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the amounts. The carrying amount of investments classified as held for sale is at fair value as the investments are marked to market (see Note 3 ). The carrying amount of the Company’s commercial loans receivable fair value is estimated based on the market value of comparable loans. The fair value of consumer loans receivable and securitized financings are both estimated to be greater than carrying value (see Note 18 ). ASC 825, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825"), requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time based on the characteristics of the financial instruments and the relevant market information. Where available, quoted market prices are used. In other cases, fair values are based on estimates using other valuation techniques. These techniques involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by the assumptions used and the judgments made regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss experience and other factors. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates and the resulting fair values. Derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in an immediate sale of the instrument. Also, because of differences in methodologies and assumptions used to estimate fair values, the Company’s fair values should not be compared to those of other companies. Under ASC 825, fair value estimates are based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying market value of the Company.
Revenue Recognition	Factory-Built Housing Revenue Recognition. Revenue from homes sold to independent retailers is generally recognized when the home is shipped, at which time title passes to the independent retailer and collectability is reasonably assured. Homes sold to independent retailers are generally either paid for prior to shipment or floor plan financed by the independent retailer through standard industry arrangements, which can include repurchase agreements. Manufacturing sales financed under repurchase agreements are reduced by a provision for estimated repurchase obligations (see Note 15 ). Revenue from homes sold under commercial loan programs involving funds provided by the Company is either deferred until such time that payment for the related commercial loan receivable is received by the Company or recognized when the home is shipped, depending on the nature of the program and borrower (see Note 6 for discussion of Commercial loans receivable). Retail sales by Company-owned retail locations are generally recognized when the customer has entered into a legally binding sales contract, the home is delivered and permanently located at the customer's site, accepted by the customer, title has transferred and funding is reasonably assured. Some of the Company’s independent retailers operate multiple sales outlets. No independent retailer accounted for 10% or more of our factory-built housing revenue during any fiscal year within the three-year period ended April 2, 2016 .
Revenue Recognition, Interest	Financial Services Revenue Recognition. Premium amounts collected on policies issued and assumed by Standard Casualty are amortized on a straight-line basis into net revenue over the life of the policy. Premiums earned are net of reinsurance ceded. Policy acquisition costs are also amortized as cost of sales over the life of the policy. At the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date, management evaluated consumer loans receivable held for investment by CountryPlace to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality and if it was probable that CountryPlace would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loans’ contractual terms. The Company also considered expected prepayments and estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows. The Company determined the excess of the loan pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over the undiscounted cash flows expected as of the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date as an amount that is not accreted into interest income (the non-accretable difference). The cash flow expected to be collected in excess of the carrying value of the acquired loans is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans (referred to as accretable yield). Interest income on consumer loans receivable is recognized as net revenue (see Note 5 ). For loans originated by CountryPlace and held for sale, loan origination fees and gains or losses on sales are recognized as net revenue upon title transfer of the loans. CountryPlace provides third-party servicing of mortgages and earns servicing fees each month based on the aggregate outstanding balances. Servicing fees are recognized as net revenue when earned. As of the date of the Palm Harbor acquisition, management evaluated consumer loans receivable held for investment by CountryPlace to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality and if it was probable that CountryPlace would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loans' contractual terms. The Company also considered expected prepayments and estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows. The Company determined the excess of the loan pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over all cash flows expected as of the date of the Palm Harbor transaction as an amount that cannot be accreted into interest income (the non-accretable difference). The cash flow expected to be collected in excess of the carrying value of the acquired loans is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans (referred to as accretable yield). Interest income on consumer loans receivable is recognized as net revenue.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents . Highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, are classified as cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents are comprised of U.S. Treasury money market funds and money market funds.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash . Restricted cash primarily represents cash related to CountryPlace customer payments to be remitted to third parties, cash held in trust for workers' compensation insurance and deposits received from retail customers required to be held in trust accounts. The Company cannot access restricted cash for general operating purposes (see Note 2 ).
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable. The Company extends competitive credit terms on a customer-by-customer basis in the normal course of business and its accounts receivable are subject to normal industry risk. The Company provides for reserves against accounts receivable for estimated losses that may result from customers' inability to pay.
Investments	Investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investment securities at the time of purchase. The Company’s investments include marketable debt and equity securities, a majority of which are held as available-for-sale, and non-marketable equity investments. All investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income tax if applicable. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method (see Note 3 ). Management regularly makes an assessment to determine whether a decline in value of an individual security is other-than-temporary. The Company considers the following factors when making its assessment: (i) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment to maturity, or a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in market value; (ii) whether it is probable that the Company will be able to collect the amounts contractually due; and (iii) whether any decision has been made to dispose of the investment prior to the balance sheet date. Investments on which there is an unrealized loss that is deemed to be other-than-temporary are written down to fair value with the loss recorded in earnings.
Consumer Loans Receivables	Consumer Loans Receivable. Consumer loans receivable consists of manufactured housing loans originated by CountryPlace (securitized, held for investment, or held for sale) and construction advances on mortgages. The fair value of consumer loans receivable held on the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date was calculated as of that date, as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows, with no allowance for loan loss recorded. Loans held for investment consist of loan contracts collateralized by the borrowers’ homes and, in some instances, related land. Construction loans in progress are stated at the aggregate amount of cumulative funded advances. Loans held for sale consist of loan contracts collateralized by single-family residential mortgages. Loans held for sale are stated at the lower of cost or market on an aggregate basis. Loans held for sale are loans that, at the time of origination, are originated with the intent to resell in the mortgage market to investors, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, with which the Company has pre-existing purchase agreements, or to sell as part of a Ginnie Mae insured pool of loans. Prior to being acquired by the Company, on July 12, 2005 and March 22, 2007, CountryPlace completed two securitizations of factory-built housing loan receivables. These two securitizations were accounted for as financings, which use the portfolio method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other . The securitizations included provisions for removal of accounts, retention of certain credit loss risk by CountryPlace and other factors that preclude sale accounting of the securitizations under FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing . Both securitizations were accounted for as securitized borrowings; therefore, the related consumer loans receivable and securitized financings were included in CountryPlace’s financial statements. Since the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date, the acquired consumer loans receivable and securitized financings are accounted for in a manner similar to FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality ("ASC 310-30"). The Company acquired consumer loans receivable during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 as part of the Palm Harbor transaction. Acquired consumer loans receivable held for investment were acquired at fair value and subsequently are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30. Consumer loans receivable held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market and construction advances are carried at the amount advanced less a valuation allowance.
Allowance for Loan Losses	Allowance for Loan Losses. The primary portion of the allowance for loan losses reflects the Company’s judgment of the probable loss exposure on our commercial loans receivable as of the end of the reporting period. The allowance for loan loss is developed at a portfolio level. A range of probable losses is calculated and the Company makes a determination of the best estimate within the range of loan losses. The Company has historically been able to resell repossessed homes, thereby mitigating loss experience. If a default occurs and collateral is lost, the Company is exposed to loss of the full value of the home loan. If the Company determines that it is probable that a borrower will default, a specific reserve is determined and recorded within the estimated allowance for loan loss. The Company recorded an allowance for loan loss of $128,000 and $73,000 at April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , respectively (see Note 6 ). Another portion of the allowance for loan losses relates to consumer loans receivable originated by CountryPlace after the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date. This allowance for loan losses reflects CountryPlace’s judgment of the probable loss exposure on its loans originated since the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date in the held for investment portfolio as of the end of the reporting period. CountryPlace accounts for the loans that were in existence at the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date in a manner similar to ASC 310-30. Management evaluated such loans as of the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality and if it was probable that CountryPlace would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loans’ contractual terms. Over the life of the loans, CountryPlace continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. CountryPlace evaluates at the balance sheet date whether the present value of its expected cash flows, determined using the effective interest rate, has decreased and, if so, recognizes an allowance for loan loss subsequent to the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date. The present value of any subsequent increase in the loan pool’s actual cash flows expected to be collected is used first to reverse any existing allowance for loan loss. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan pool’s remaining life (see Note 5 ). CountryPlace has modified payment amounts and/or interest rates for borrowers that, in management’s judgment, exhibited the willingness and ability to continue to pay and met certain other conditions. CountryPlace considers a modified loan a troubled debt restructuring when three conditions are met: (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, (ii) concessions are made by CountryPlace that it would not otherwise consider for a borrower with similar risk characteristics, and (iii) the loan was originated after the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date. CountryPlace no longer considers modified loans to be troubled debt restructurings once the modified loan is seasoned for six months, is not delinquent under the modified terms and is at a market rate of interest at the modification date.
Commercial Loans Receivable	Commercial Loans Receivable. The Company’s commercial loans receivable balance consists of amounts loaned by the Company under commercial loan programs for the benefit of our independent retailers and community operators’ home purchasing needs. Under the terms of certain programs, the Company has entered into direct commercial loan arrangements with independent retailers and community operators wherein the Company provides funds to purchase home inventory or homes for placement in communities. In addition, the Company provides a significant amount of the funds that independent financiers lend to distributors to finance retail inventories of homes. Interest income on commercial loans receivable is recognized as Other income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income on an accrual basis.
Inventories	Inventories. Raw material inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the specific identification method.
Assets Held for Sale	Assets Held for Sale . As of April 2, 2016 , the Company has no assets classified as held for sale.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each asset. Estimated useful lives for significant classes of assets are as follows: buildings and improvements, 10 to 39 years; and machinery and equipment, 3 to 25 years. Repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of each asset. Estimated useful lives for significant classes of assets are as follows: (i) buildings and improvements, 10 to 39 years and (ii) machinery and equipment, 3 to 25 years. Repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred.
Asset Impairment	Asset Impairment . The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used and held for sale for impairment when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that the fair values are primarily based on independent appraisals and preliminary or definitive contractual arrangements less costs to dispose. The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale when the fair value of such long-lived assets is below their carrying values. The Company records impairment charges on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that long-lived assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. The Company recorded no impairment charges on assets held for sale or used in operations during the fiscal years ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 .
Goodwill and Other Intangibles	Goodwill and Other Intangibles. The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"). As such, the Company tests goodwill annually for impairment by reporting unit by first making a qualitative assessment, and if necessary, performing the two-step test and recording an impairment charge if the implied fair value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying value. The Company has identified two reporting units, factory-built housing and financial services. As of April 2, 2016 , all of the Company's goodwill is attributable to its factory-built housing reporting unit. Certain intangibles are considered indefinite-lived and others are finite-lived and are amortized over their useful lives. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed annually for impairment first by making a qualitative assessment, and if necessary, performing a quantitative assessment and recording an impairment charge if the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of April 2, 2016 . In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment , the Company first assessed qualitative factors to determine that it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is not less than its carrying amount. As a result, performing the two-step impairment test was determined to be unnecessary for fiscal years 2016 or 2015 . Intangible assets principally consist of goodwill, trademarks and trade names, state insurance licenses, customer relationships, and other, which includes technology, insurance policies and renewal rights and other. Goodwill, trademarks and trade names and state insurance licenses are indefinite-lived intangible assets and are evaluated for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances indicate that more likely than not impairment has occurred. During fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , no impairments were recorded. Finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis and are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The value of customer relationships is amortized over 4 to 15 years and other intangibles over 7 to 15 years.
Warranties	Warranties. The Company provides retail home buyers, builders or developers with a one -year warranty for manufacturing defects from the date of sale to the retail customer. Nonstructural components of a cosmetic nature are warranted for 120 days , except in specific cases where state laws require longer warranty terms. Estimated warranty costs are accrued as cost of sales at the time of sale. The warranty provision and reserves are based on estimates of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on homes sold as of the balance sheet date. Factors used to calculate the warranty obligation are the estimated amount of homes still under warranty including homes in retailer inventories, homes purchased by consumers still within the one -year warranty period, the timing in which work orders are completed and the historical average costs incurred to service a home. Homes are generally warranted against manufacturing defects for a period of one year commencing at the time of sale to the retail customer. Estimated costs relating to home warranties are provided at the date of sale. The Company has recorded a liability for estimated future warranty costs relating to homes sold based upon management’s assessment of historical experience factors, an estimate of the amount of homes in the distribution channel and current industry trends.
Retailer Volume Rebate	Retailer Volume Rebates . The Company’s manufacturing operations sponsor volume rebate programs under which certain sales to retailers, builders and developers can qualify for cash rebates generally based on the level of sales attained during a twelve-month period. Volume rebates are accrued at the time of sale and are recorded as a reduction of net revenue.
Reserve for Repurchase Commitment	Reserve for Repurchase Commitment. The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for retailers of its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer. The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The price the Company is obligated to pay generally declines over the period of the agreement (generally 18 to 36 months) and is further reduced by the resale value of repurchased homes. The Company applies FASB ASC 460, Guarantees ("ASC 460") and FASB ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies ("ASC 450-20"), to account for its liability for repurchase commitments. Under the provisions of ASC 460, during the period in which a home is sold (inception of a repurchase commitment), the Company records the greater of the estimated fair value of the non-contingent obligation or a contingent liability for each repurchase arrangement under the provisions of ASC 450-20, based on historical information available, as a reduction to revenue. Additionally, subsequent to the inception of the repurchase commitment, the Company evaluates the likelihood that it will be called on to perform under the inventory repurchase commitments. If it becomes probable that a retailer will default and an ASC 450-20 loss reserve should be recorded, then such contingent liability is recorded equal to the estimated loss on repurchase. Following the inception of the commitment, the recorded reserve is reduced over the repurchase period in conjunction with applicable curtailment arrangements and is eliminated once the retailer sells the home.
Reserve for Property-Liability Insurance Claims and Claims Expense	Reserve for Property-Liability Insurance Claims and Claims Expense. Standard Casualty establishes reserves for claims and claims expense ("loss") on reported and unreported claims of insured losses. Standard Casualty’s reserving process takes into account known facts and interpretations of circumstances and factors, including Standard’s experience with similar cases, actual claims paid, historical trends involving claim payment patterns and pending levels of unpaid claims, loss management programs, product mix, contractual terms, changes in law and regulation, judicial decisions and economic conditions. In the normal course of business, Standard Casualty may also supplement its claims processes by utilizing third party adjusters, appraisers, engineers, inspectors and other professionals and information sources to assess and settle catastrophe and non-catastrophe related claims. The effects of inflation are implicitly considered in the reserving process. The applicable reserve balance was $6.0 million as of April 2, 2016 , of which $663,000 related to incurred but not reported ("IBNR") losses.
Insurance	Insurance. The Company is self-insured for a significant portion of its general and products liability, auto liability, health, property and workers’ compensation liability coverage. Insurance is maintained for catastrophic exposures and those risks required to be insured by law. Estimated self-insurance costs are accrued for incurred claims and estimated IBNR claims. For product liability and workers' compensation liability in particular, the Company has purchased stop-loss insurance, which will reimburse the Company for claims exceeding $250,000 per occurrence. A reserve for products liability is actuarially determined and reflected in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The determination of claims and expenses and the appropriateness of the related liabilities are regularly reviewed and updated.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest. Historically, the Company's subsidiary, Fleetwood Homes, Inc. ("Fleetwood"), was jointly owned by the Company and its investment partners, Third Avenue Value Fund and an affiliate (collectively, "Third Avenue"). Third Avenue's financial interest in Fleetwood was reported as a "redeemable noncontrolling interest" in the Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 20 ). On July 22, 2013, Cavco purchased from Third Avenue all noncontrolling interests in Fleetwood, which owns Fleetwood Homes, Palm Harbor Homes, CountryPlace and Standard Casualty (the "Fleetwood Businesses"). The Company satisfied the purchase price with 1,867,370 shares of Company common stock issued to Third Avenue. The acquisition closed on July 22, 2013, resulting in Cavco owning 100 percent of the Fleetwood Businesses and entitling Cavco to all of the associated earnings from that date forward. As of April 2, 2016 , Third Avenue and its related funds owned approximately 8.2% of our outstanding common shares. Third Avenue and Third Avenue Management LLC are either directly or indirectly under common control. Third Avenue is considered a principal owner, and therefore a related party, under ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures ("ASC 850") (see Note 21 ). . Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest During fiscal year 2010, the Company and an investment partner, Third Avenue Value Fund, formed Fleetwood, with an initial contribution of $35.0 million each for equal 50 percent ownership interests. On July 21, 2009, Fleetwood entered into an asset purchase agreement with Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to purchase certain assets and liabilities of its manufactured housing business. The Company and Third Avenue Value Fund subsequently contributed an additional $36.0 million each in anticipation of the purchase of Palm Harbor, which was completed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Subsequent to the transaction, a portion of Third Avenue Value Fund’s interests were transferred to an affiliate along with the applicable rights and obligations. This transfer had no impact on Cavco’s ownership interest. Since the Fleetwood Acquisition, financial information for Fleetwood was included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 810. Management determined that, although Fleetwood was only 50 percent owned by the Company, Cavco had a controlling interest and was required to fully consolidate the results of Fleetwood. Third Avenue’s financial interest in Fleetwood was considered a "redeemable noncontrolling interest,"as determined by GAAP, and was designated as such in the Consolidated Financial Statements. On July 22, 2013, Cavco purchased all noncontrolling interests in Fleetwood, Cavco’s subsidiary that owns Fleetwood Homes, Palm Harbor Homes, CountryPlace and Standard Casualty (the "Fleetwood Businesses"). As consideration for the 50 percent interest that it did not already own, the Company issued 1,867,370 shares of Cavco common stock, derived by dividing the purchase price of $91.4 million by the 60-day volume-weighted average price per share, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Historically, 50 percent of the financial results of these businesses has been recorded as attributable to Cavco’s common stockholders in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The acquisition closed on July 22, 2013, resulting in Cavco owning 100 percent of the Fleetwood Businesses and entitling Cavco to all of the associated earnings from that date forward. The acquisition was accounted for as an equity transaction under ASC 810; accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded in the purchase of the noncontrolling interest, which had a carrying value of $94.4 million as of the closing date. As of July 22, 2013, Fleetwood and its subsidiaries are wholly-owned by the Company and Third Avenue no longer has a noncontrolling interest in Fleetwood.
Advertising	Advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $0.7 million in fiscal year 2016 and $1.5 million in each of the fiscal years 2015 and 2014 .
Freight	Freight. Substantially all freight costs are recovered from the Company’s retailers. Freight charges of $22.3 million were recognized in net revenue and cost of sales in fiscal year 2016 and $17.6 million was recognized for each of fiscal years and 2015 and 2014 .
Other Income	Other Income, net. Other income, net totaled $2.0 million , $3.4 million and $1.1 million for fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Other income primarily consists interest related to commercial loan receivable balances and interest income earned on cash balances and gains and losses or impairment on property, plant and equipment, including assets held for sale or sold.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Accumulated other comprehensive income is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments (see Note 3 ). Unrealized gains and losses are presented net of tax. Unrealized gain on available-for-sale investments during fiscal year 2016 was $1.3 million before tax, with an associated tax amount of $539,000 , resulting in a net unrealized gain of $785,000 . Unrealized gain on available-for-sale investments during fiscal year 2015 was $106,000 , offset by tax effect of $38,000 , for a net unrealized gain of $68,000 . Unrealized gain on available-for-sale investments during fiscal year 2014 was $126,000 before tax, with an associated tax amount of $44,000 , resulting in a net unrealized gain of $82,000 .
Income Tax	Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), and provides for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes generally represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. The calculation of tax liabilities involves considering uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the liabilities are no longer determined to be necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, a further charge to expense would result. The Company uses a two-step approach to evaluate uncertain tax positions. This approach involves recognizing any tax positions that are more likely than not to occur and then measuring those positions to determine the amounts to be recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company periodically evaluates the deferred tax assets based on the requirements established in ASC 740 which requires the recording of a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the need for or amount of any valuation allowance involves significant management judgment and is based upon the evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including management projections of anticipated taxable income. At April 2, 2016 , the Company evaluated forecasted taxable income and determined that, except as described above, all of the deferred tax assets would be utilized in future periods. Ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on our ability to meet these forecasts in future periods.
Net Income Per Share	Net Income Per Share Attributable to Cavco Common Stockholders. Basic earnings per common share attributable to Cavco common stockholders is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share attributable to Cavco common stockholders is computed based on the combination of dilutive common share equivalents, comprised of shares issuable under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options to purchase shares, which is calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method (see Note 17 ). Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on the combination of dilutive common share equivalents, comprised of shares issuable under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options to purchase shares, which is calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2013, the United States Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations regarding the deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property. The final regulations under Internal Revenue Code Sections 162, 167 and 263(a) apply to amounts paid to acquire, produce, or improve tangible property as well as dispositions of such property and are generally effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. These regulations have not had a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), which outlines 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. The standard requires entities to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a company’s contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date , which deferred the effective date of the new revenue standard. Accordingly, the updated standard is effective for us beginning with the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year 2019, with e arly application permitted in fiscal year 2018. The standard allows for either "full retrospective" adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or "modified retrospective" adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes ("ASU 2015-17"). ASU 2015-17 will be effective b
Debt	The Company acquired CountryPlace's securitized financings during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 as a part of the Palm Harbor acquisition. Acquired securitized financings were recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition, which resulted in a discount, and subsequently are accounted for in a manner similar to ASC 310-30 to accrete the discount. The Company considers expected prepayments and estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows for securitized consumer loans receivable held for investment to determine the expected cash flows on securitized financings and the contractual payments. The amount of contractual principal and contractual interest payments due on the securitized financings in excess of all cash flows expected as of the date of the Palm Harbor acquisition cannot be accreted into interest expense (the non-accretable difference). The remaining amount is accreted into interest expense over the remaining life of the obligation (referred to as accretable yield).
Repurchase Contingencies	Repurchase Contingencies . The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for independent retailers of its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer. The risk of loss under these agreements is spread over numerous retailers. The price the Company is obligated to pay generally declines over the period of the agreement (generally 18 to 36 months , calculated from the date of sale to the retailer) and the risk of loss is further reduced by the resale value of the repurchased homes. The Company applies ASC 460 and ASC 450-20 to account for its liability for repurchase commitments. Under the provisions of ASC 460, issuance of a guarantee results in two different types of obligations: (1) a non-contingent obligation to stand ready to perform under the repurchase commitment (accounted for pursuant to ASC 460) and (2) a contingent obligation to make future payments under the conditions of the repurchase commitment (accounted for pursuant to ASC 450-20).
Representations and Warranties of Mortgages Sold	Representations and Warranties of Mortgages Sold . CountryPlace sells loans to GSEs and whole-loan purchasers. In connection with these activities, CountryPlace provides to the GSEs and whole-loan purchasers, representations and warranties related to the loans sold. These representations and warranties generally relate to the ownership of the loan, the validity of the lien securing the loan, the loan’s compliance with the criteria for inclusion in the sale transactions, including compliance with underwriting standards or loan criteria established by the buyer and CountryPlace’s ability to deliver documentation in compliance with applicable laws. Generally, representations and warranties may be enforced at any time over the life of the loan. Upon a breach of a representation, CountryPlace may be required to repurchase the loan or to indemnify a party for incurred losses. Repurchase demands and claims for indemnification payments are reviewed on a loan-by-loan basis to validate if there has been a breach requiring repurchase. CountryPlace manages the risk of repurchase through underwriting and quality assurance practices and by servicing the mortgage loans to investor standards. CountryPlace maintains a reserve for these contingent repurchase and indemnification obligations. This reserve of $785,000 and $867,000 as of April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , respectively, included in accrued liabilities, reflects management’s estimate of probable loss. CountryPlace considers a variety of assumptions, including borrower performance (both actual and estimated future defaults), historical repurchase demands and loan defect rates to estimate the liability for loan repurchases and indemnifications. During the year ended April 2, 2016 , one claim request resulted in an indemnification agreements being executed
Derivatives	Interest Rate Lock Commitments . In originating loans for sale, CountryPlace issues interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") to prospective borrowers and third-party originators. These IRLCs represent an agreement to extend credit to a loan applicant, or an agreement to purchase a loan from a third-party originator, whereby the interest rate on the loan is set prior to loan closing or sale. These IRLCs bind CountryPlace to fund the approved loan at the specified rate regardless of whether interest rates or market prices for similar loans have changed between the commitment date and the closing date. As such, outstanding IRLCs are subject to interest rate risk and related loan sale price risk during the period from the date of the IRLC through the earlier of the loan sale date or IRLC expiration date. The loan commitments generally range between 30 and 180 days; however, borrowers are not obligated to close the related loans. As a result, CountryPlace is subject to fallout risk related to IRLCs, which is realized if approved borrowers choose not to close on the loans within the terms of the IRLCs unless the commitment is successfully paired with another loan that may mitigate losses from fallout. As of April 2, 2016 CountryPlace had outstanding IRLCs with a notional amount of $4.3 million and are recorded at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). ASC 815 clarifies that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The estimated fair values of IRLCs are recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of IRLCs is based on the value of the underlying mortgage loan adjusted for: (i) estimated cost to complete and originate the loan and (ii) the estimated percentage of IRLCs that will result in closed mortgage loans. The initial and subsequent changes in the value of IRLCs are a component of gain (loss) on mortgage loans held for sale. During fiscal years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , CountryPlace recognized a loss of $11,000 , a gain of $34,000 and a loss of $42,000 , respectively, on the outstanding IRLCs. Forward Sales Commitments . CountryPlace manages the risk profiles of a portion of its outstanding IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale by entering into forward sales of mortgage backed securities ("MBS") and whole loan sale commitments. As of April 2, 2016 CountryPlace had $17.0 million in outstanding notional forward sales of MBSs and forward sales commitments. Commitments to forward sales of whole loans are typically in an amount proportionate with the amount of IRLCs expected to close in particular time frames, assuming no change in mortgage interest rates, for the respective loan products intended for whole loan sale. The estimated fair values of forward sales of MBS and forward sale commitments are based on quoted market values and are recorded within other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 , CountryPlace recognized a gain of $23,000 , a loss of $78,000 and a gain of $28,000 , respectively, on forward sales and whole loan sale commitments.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans	The Company maintains stock incentive plans whereby stock option grants or awards of restricted stock may be made to certain officers, directors and key employees. The plans, which are shareholder approved, permit the award of up to 1,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which 386,131 shares were still available for grant. When options are exercised, new shares of the Company’s common stock are issued. Stock options may not be granted below 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant and generally expire seven years from the date of grant. Stock options and awards of restricted stock typically vest over a one to five year period as determined by the plan administrator (the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of independent directors). The stock incentive plans provide for accelerated vesting of stock options and removal of restrictions on restricted stock awards upon a change in control (as defined in the plans).
Fair Value Measurement	In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. When the Company uses observable market prices for identical securities that are traded in less active markets, it classifies such securities as Level 2. When observable market prices for identical securities are not available, the Company prices its marketable debt instruments using non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated with observable market data; quoted market prices for similar instruments; or pricing models, such as a discounted cash flow model, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated with observable market data. Non-binding market consensus prices are based on the proprietary valuation models of pricing providers or brokers. These valuation models incorporate a number of inputs, including non-binding and binding broker quotes; observable market prices for identical or similar securities; and the internal assumptions of pricing providers or brokers that use observable market inputs and, to a lesser degree, unobservable market inputs.
Fair Value Transfer	The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale when the fair value of such long-lived assets is below their carrying values. The Company records impairment charges on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that long-lived assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts. The Company recorded no impairment charges on assets held for sale or used in operations during the fiscal years ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 .
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, Transfers of Financial Assets, Servicing of Financial Assets	Mortgage Servicing . Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs") are the rights to receive a portion of the interest coupon and fees collected from the mortgagors for performing specified mortgage servicing activities, which consist of collecting loan payments, remitting principal and interest payments to investors, managing escrow accounts, performing loss mitigation activities on behalf of investors and otherwise administering the loan servicing portfolio. MSRs are initially recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value subsequent to the initial capitalization are recorded in net revenue in the Company's results of operations. The Company recognizes MSRs on all loans sold to investors that meet the requirements for sale accounting and for which servicing rights are retained. The Company applies fair value accounting to MSRs, with all changes in fair value recorded to net revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 860-50, Servicing Assets and Liabilities . The fair value of MSRs is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows related to servicing these loans. The revenue components of the cash flows are servicing fees, interest earned on custodial accounts and other ancillary income. The expense components include operating costs related to servicing the loans (including delinquency and foreclosure costs) and interest expenses on servicer advances that the Company believes are consistent with the assumptions major market participants use in valuing MSRs. The expected cash flows are primarily impacted by prepayment estimates, delinquencies and market discounts. Generally, the value of MSRs is expected to increase when interest rates rise and decrease when interest rates decline, due to the effect those changes in interest rates have on prepayment estimates. Other factors noted above as well as the overall market demand for MSRs may also affect the valuation.

Receivables [Abstract]
Loans and Leases Receivable, Nonperforming Loan and Lease, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Consumer Loans Receivable. Consumer loans receivable consists of manufactured housing loans originated by CountryPlace (securitized, held for investment, or held for sale) and construction advances on mortgages. The fair value of consumer loans receivable held on the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date was calculated as of that date, as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows, with no allowance for loan loss recorded. Loans held for investment consist of loan contracts collateralized by the borrowers’ homes and, in some instances, related land. Construction loans in progress are stated at the aggregate amount of cumulative funded advances. Loans held for sale consist of loan contracts collateralized by single-family residential mortgages. Loans held for sale are stated at the lower of cost or market on an aggregate basis. Loans held for sale are loans that, at the time of origination, are originated with the intent to resell in the mortgage market to investors, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, with which the Company has pre-existing purchase agreements, or to sell as part of a Ginnie Mae insured pool of loans. Prior to being acquired by the Company, on July 12, 2005 and March 22, 2007, CountryPlace completed two securitizations of factory-built housing loan receivables. These two securitizations were accounted for as financings, which use the portfolio method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 310, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other . The securitizations included provisions for removal of accounts, retention of certain credit loss risk by CountryPlace and other factors that preclude sale accounting of the securitizations under FASB ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing . Both securitizations were accounted for as securitized borrowings; therefore, the related consumer loans receivable and securitized financings were included in CountryPlace’s financial statements. Since the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date, the acquired consumer loans receivable and securitized financings are accounted for in a manner similar to FASB ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality ("ASC 310-30"). The Company acquired consumer loans receivable during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 as part of the Palm Harbor transaction. Acquired consumer loans receivable held for investment were acquired at fair value and subsequently are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30. Consumer loans receivable held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market and construction advances are carried at the amount advanced less a valuation allowance.

Revenue Recognition, Interest [Policy Text Block]	Financial Services Revenue Recognition. Premium amounts collected on policies issued and assumed by Standard Casualty are amortized on a straight-line basis into net revenue over the life of the policy. Premiums earned are net of reinsurance ceded. Policy acquisition costs are also amortized as cost of sales over the life of the policy. At the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date, management evaluated consumer loans receivable held for investment by CountryPlace to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality and if it was probable that CountryPlace would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loans’ contractual terms. The Company also considered expected prepayments and estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows. The Company determined the excess of the loan pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over the undiscounted cash flows expected as of the Palm Harbor Acquisition Date as an amount that is not accreted into interest income (the non-accretable difference). The cash flow expected to be collected in excess of the carrying value of the acquired loans is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans (referred to as accretable yield). Interest income on consumer loans receivable is recognized as net revenue (see Note 5 ). For loans originated by CountryPlace and held for sale, loan origination fees and gains or losses on sales are recognized as net revenue upon title transfer of the loans. CountryPlace provides third-party servicing of mortgages and earns servicing fees each month based on the aggregate outstanding balances. Servicing fees are recognized as net revenue when earned. As of the date of the Palm Harbor acquisition, management evaluated consumer loans receivable held for investment by CountryPlace to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration of credit quality and if it was probable that CountryPlace would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loans' contractual terms. The Company also considered expected prepayments and estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows. The Company determined the excess of the loan pool’s scheduled contractual principal and contractual interest payments over all cash flows expected as of the date of the Palm Harbor transaction as an amount that cannot be accreted into interest income (the non-accretable difference). The cash flow expected to be collected in excess of the carrying value of the acquired loans is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loans (referred to as accretable yield). Interest income on consumer loans receivable is recognized as net revenue.
Acquired Consumer Loans Receivable Held for Investment	April 2, March 28, (in thousands) Consumer loans receivable held for investment – contractual amount $ 166,793 $ 192,523 Purchase discount: Accretable (69,053 ) (73,202 ) Non-accretable difference (28,536 ) (41,305 ) Less consumer loans receivable reclassified as other assets (253 ) (346 ) Total acquired consumer loans receivable held for investment, net $ 68,951 $ 77,670
Weighted average assumptions cash flows [Table Text Block]	Over the life of the acquired loans, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected by CountryPlace. As of the balance sheet date, the Company evaluates whether the present value of expected cash flows, determined using the effective interest rate, has decreased from the value at acquisition and, if so, recognizes an allowance for loan loss. The present value of any subsequent increase in the loan pool’s actual cash flows expected to be collected is used first to reverse any existing allowance for loan loss. Any remaining increase in cash flows expected to be collected adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan pool’s remaining life. The weighted averages of assumptions used in the calculation of expected cash flows to be collected are as follows: April 2, March 28, Prepayment rate 13.0 % 12.6 % Default rate 1.0 % 1.7 % Assuming there was a 1% unfavorable variation from the expected level, for each key assumption, the expected cash flows, as of April 2, 2016 , would decrease by approximately $2.4 million and $6.0 million for the expected prepayment rate and expected default rate, respectively.
Accretable Yield Movement on Acquired Consumer Loans Receivable	The changes in accretable yield on acquired consumer loans receivable held for investment were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended April 2, March 28, Balance at the beginning of the period $ 73,202 $ 77,737 Additions — — Accretion (10,720 ) (11,230 ) Reclassifications from (to) nonaccretable discount 6,571 6,695 Balance at the end of the period $ 69,053 $ 73,202
Consumer Loans Held for Investment Characteristics [Table Text Block]	The consumer loans held for investment have the following characteristics: April 2, March 28, Weighted average contractual interest rate 9.05 % 9.10 % Weighted average effective interest rate 9.39 % 9.27 % Weighted average months to maturity 170 178 The Company's consumer loans receivable balance consists of fixed-rate, fixed-term and fully-amortizing single-family home loans. These loans are either secured by a manufactured home, excluding the land upon which the home is located (chattel property loans and retail installment sale contracts), or by a combination of the home and the land upon which the home is located (real property mortgage loans). The real property mortgage loans are primarily for manufactured homes. Combined land and home loans are further disaggregated by the type of loan documentation: those conforming to the requirements of Government-Sponsored Enterprises ("GSEs"), and those that are non-conforming. In most instances, CountryPlace’s loans are secured by a first-lien position and are provided for the consumer purchase of a home. In rare instances, CountryPlace may provide other types of loans in second-lien or unsecured positions. Accordingly, CountryPlace classifies its loans receivable as follows: chattel loans, conforming mortgages, non-conforming mortgages and other loans.
