Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D.R. Horton, Inc. and all of its 100% owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to as the Company, unless the context otherwise requires. Noncontrolling interests represent the proportionate equity interests in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by the Company. The Company owns a 75% controlling interest in Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar) and therefore is required to consolidate 100% of Forestar within its consolidated financial statements, and the 25% interest the Company does not own is accounted for as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 , which was derived from audited financial statements, do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 . Changes in Presentation and Reclassifications In connection with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-18 in fiscal 2019, restricted cash is now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning and ending amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, resulting in a decrease in cash used in investing activities of $38.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2018 . In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification,” which makes a number of changes meant to simplify interim disclosures. In complying with the relevant aspects of the rule within the current year quarterly reports, the Company has removed the presentation of cash dividends declared per common share from the statements of operations and has added the consolidated statements of total equity. Certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Adoption of New Accounting Standard On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606), which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services and satisfaction of performance obligations to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applied the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. Results for the reporting period beginning after October 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and will continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. The Company recorded an increase to retained earnings of $27.1 million , net of tax, as of October 1, 2018, due to the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606, which was primarily related to the recognition of contract assets totaling $32.4 million for insurance brokerage commission renewals. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue and a contract asset for estimated future renewals of these policies upon issuance of the initial policy, the date at which the performance obligation is satisfied. There was not a material impact to revenues as a result of applying ASC 606 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , and there have not been significant changes to the Company’s business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Seasonality Historically, the homebuilding industry has experienced seasonal fluctuations; therefore, the operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 or subsequent periods. Revenue Recognition Homebuilding revenue and related profit are generally recognized at the time of the closing of a sale, when title to and possession of the property are transferred to the buyer. The Company’s performance obligation, to deliver the agreed-upon home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Proceeds from home closings held for the Company’s benefit at title companies are included in homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company rarely purchases land for resale, but periodically may elect to sell parcels of land that no longer fit into its strategic operating plans. Cash consideration from land sales is typically due on the closing date, which is generally when performance obligations are satisfied. Financial services revenues associated with the Company’s title operations are recognized as closing services are rendered and title insurance policies are issued, both of which generally occur simultaneously as each home is closed. The Company transfers substantially all underwriting risk associated with title insurance policies to third-party insurers. The Company typically elects the fair value option for its mortgage loan originations. Mortgage loans held for sale are initially recorded at fair value based on either sale commitments or current market quotes and are adjusted for subsequent changes in fair value until the loans are sold. Net origination costs and fees associated with mortgage loans are recognized at the time of origination. The expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan are included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings at the time of commitment. The Company sells substantially all of the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. Interest income is earned from the date a mortgage loan is originated until the loan is sold. The Company collects insurance commissions on homeowner policies placed with third party carriers through its wholly owned insurance agency. The Company recognizes revenue and a contract asset for estimated future renewals of these policies upon issuance of the initial policy, the date at which the performance obligation is satisfied. Business Acquisitions During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company acquired the homebuilding operations of Westport Homes, Classic Builders and Terramor Homes for $325.9 million . The assets acquired included approximately 700 homes in inventory, 4,500 lots and control of approximately 4,300 additional lots through land purchase contracts. The Company also acquired a sales order backlog of approximately 700 homes. Westport Homes operates in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Columbus, Ohio; Classic Builders operates in Des Moines, Iowa; and Terramor Homes operates in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Company’s allocation of the aggregate purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired through these transactions is not finalized and is subject to revision as additional information becomes available and more detailed analyses are completed. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired is as follows (in millions): Inventories $ 265.5 Other assets 23.3 Goodwill 54.3 Intangible assets 8.6 Other liabilities (25.8 ) Net assets acquired $ 325.9 As a result of these transactions, the Company’s preliminary estimate of goodwill is $54.3 million , of which $49.7 million was allocated to the Midwest region and $4.6 million was allocated to the East region. The goodwill is tax deductible and relates to expected synergies from expanding the Company’s market presence in its Midwest and East regions, the experienced and knowledgeable workforce of these entities and their capital efficient operating processes. The intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis to selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense over their expected lives, which range from one to three years . Pending Accounting Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires that lease assets and liabilities be recognized on the balance sheet and that key information about leasing arrangements be disclosed. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information in determining credit loss estimates. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing the second step of the goodwill impairment test and requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit. Under the new guidance, goodwill impairment is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value with the loss recognized limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company is a national homebuilder that is primarily engaged in the acquisition and development of land and the construction and sale of residential homes, with operations in 84 markets in 29 states across the United States. The Company’s operating segments are its 51 homebuilding divisions, its majority-owned Forestar residential lot development operations, its financial services operations and its other business activities. The Company’s reporting segments are its homebuilding reporting segments, its Forestar land development segment and its financial services segment. The homebuilding operating segments are aggregated into the following six reporting segments: East, Midwest, Southeast, South Central, Southwest and West. These reporting segments have homebuilding operations located in the following states: East: Delaware, Georgia (Savannah only), Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia Midwest: Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota and Ohio Southeast: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee South Central: Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas Southwest: Arizona and New Mexico West: California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington The Company’s homebuilding divisions design, build and sell single-family detached homes on lots they develop and on fully developed lots purchased ready for home construction. To a lesser extent, the homebuilding divisions also build and sell attached homes, such as townhomes, duplexes and triplexes. Most of the revenue generated by the Company’s homebuilding operations is from the sale of completed homes and to a lesser extent from the sale of land and lots. The Forestar segment is a residential lot development company with operations in 41 markets and 17 states. The Company’s homebuilding divisions and Forestar are identifying land development opportunities to expand Forestar’s platform, and the homebuilding divisions are acquiring finished lots from Forestar in accordance with the master supply agreement between the two companies. Forestar’s segment results are presented on their historical cost basis, consistent with the manner in which management evaluates segment performance. The Company’s financial services segment provides mortgage financing and title agency services to homebuyers in many of the Company’s homebuilding markets. The segment generates the substantial majority of its revenues from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance agency and closing services. The Company sells substantially all of the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. In addition to its homebuilding, Forestar and financial services operations, the Company has subsidiaries that engage in other business activities. These subsidiaries conduct insurance-related operations, construct and own income-producing rental properties, own non-residential real estate including ranch land and improvements and own and operate oil and gas related assets. One of these subsidiaries, DHI Communities, constructs multi-family rental properties and has four projects under active construction and two projects that are substantially complete at March 31, 2019 . In January 2019 , DHI Communities sold its first multi-family rental property for $73.4 million and recorded a gain on the sale of $29.3 million , which is included in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 . At March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , the consolidated balance sheets included $170.2 million and $173.2 million , respectively, of assets related to DHI Communities.

Homebuilding: The Company has a $1.325 billion senior unsecured homebuilding revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $1.9 billion , subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to approximately 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the available borrowing capacity. The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be based on either the Prime Rate or London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin, as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility. The maturity date of the facility is September 25, 2023 . Borrowings and repayments under the facility were $1.8 billion and $1.0 billion , respectively, during the six months ended March 31, 2019 . At March 31, 2019 , there were $750 million of borrowings outstanding at a 3.7% annual interest rate and $128.0 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility. The Company’s revolving credit facility imposes restrictions on its operations and activities, including requiring the maintenance of a maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and a borrowing base restriction if the Company’s ratio of debt to tangible net worth exceeds a certain level. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. The credit agreement governing the facility and the indenture governing the senior notes also impose restrictions on the creation of secured debt and liens. At March 31, 2019 , the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility and public debt obligations. D.R. Horton has an automatically effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC in August 2018 , registering debt and equity securities that the Company may issue from time to time in amounts to be determined. On March 1, 2019 , the Company repaid $500 million principal amount of its 3.75% senior notes at maturity. Effective August 1, 2018 , the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company’s debt securities effective through September 30, 2019 . All of the $500 million authorization was remaining at March 31, 2019 . Forestar: Forestar has a $380 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an uncommitted accordion feature that could increase the size of the facility to $570 million , subject to certain conditions and availability of additional bank commitments. The facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit equal to the greater of $100 million and 50% of the revolving credit commitment. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are subject to a borrowing base based on Forestar’s book value of its real estate assets and unrestricted cash. The maturity date of the facility is August 16, 2021 . The maturity date of the revolving credit facility may be extended by up to one year on up to three occasions, subject to the approval of lenders holding a majority of the commitments. At March 31, 2019 , there were $35 million of borrowings outstanding at a 4.8% annual interest rate and $3.8 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and financial covenants. The financial covenants require Forestar to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, a minimum level of liquidity and a maximum allowable leverage ratio. These covenants are measured as defined in the credit agreement governing the facility and are reported to the lenders quarterly. A failure to comply with these financial covenants could allow the lending banks to terminate the availability of funds under the revolving credit facility or cause any outstanding borrowings to become due and payable prior to maturity. At March 31, 2019 , Forestar was in compliance with all of the covenants, limitations and restrictions of its revolving credit facility. Forestar also has a secured letter of credit agreement that requires it to deposit cash as collateral with the issuing bank. At March 31, 2019 , letters of credit outstanding under the letter of credit facility totaled $15.0 million , secured by $15.7 million in cash, which is included in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet. In April 2019 , Forestar issued $350 million principal amount of 8.0% senior notes pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes are due April 15, 2024 , with interest payable semi-annually, and represent unsecured obligations of Forestar. The annual effective interest rate of these notes after giving effect to the amortization of financing costs is 8.5% . These notes may be redeemed prior to maturity, subject to certain limitations and premiums defined in the indenture agreement. Forestar’s revolving credit facility, its senior notes and its convertible senior notes are not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s homebuilding debt. Financial Services: The Company’s mortgage subsidiary, DHI Mortgage, has a mortgage repurchase facility that provides financing and liquidity to DHI Mortgage by facilitating purchase transactions in which DHI Mortgage transfers eligible loans to the counterparties upon receipt of funds from the counterparties. DHI Mortgage then has the right and obligation to repurchase the purchased loans upon their sale to third-party purchasers in the secondary market or within specified time frames from 45 to 60 days in accordance with the terms of the mortgage repurchase facility. In February 2019 , the mortgage repurchase facility was amended to extend its maturity date to February 21, 2020 . The total capacity of the facility is $600 million ; however, the capacity increases, without requiring additional commitments, to $725 million for approximately 30 days at each quarter end and to $800 million for approximately 45 days at fiscal year end. The capacity of the facility can also be increased to $1.0 billion subject to the availability of additional commitments. Additional commitments were obtained to increase the capacity of the facility to $800 million for approximately 30 days at the March 2019 quarter end. As of March 31, 2019 , $784.5 million of mortgage loans held for sale with a collateral value of $759.4 million were pledged under the mortgage repurchase facility. DHI Mortgage had an obligation of $690.7 million outstanding under the mortgage repurchase facility at March 31, 2019 at a 4.2% annual interest rate. The mortgage repurchase facility is not guaranteed by D.R. Horton, Inc. or any of the subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s homebuilding debt. The facility contains financial covenants as to the mortgage subsidiary’s minimum required tangible net worth, its maximum allowable ratio of debt to tangible net worth and its minimum required liquidity. These covenants are measured and reported to the lenders monthly. At March 31, 2019 , DHI Mortgage was in compliance with all of the conditions and covenants of the mortgage repurchase facility.

INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company’s income tax expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 was $108.4 million and $197.4 million , respectively, compared to $94.0 million and $296.4 million in the prior year periods. The effective tax rate was 23.4% and 23.5% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , respectively, compared to 21.1% and 35.5% in the prior year periods. The higher effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to the remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act), which was enacted into law on December 22, 2017 . The effective tax rates for all periods include an expense for state income taxes, reduced by tax benefits related to stock-based compensation. The Tax Act reduced the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for all corporations effective January 1, 2018. For fiscal year companies, the change in law required the application of a blended tax rate in the year of change, which for the Company was 24.5% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 and thereafter, the applicable statutory federal tax rate is 21% . The Tax Act also repealed the domestic production activities deduction effective for the Company for fiscal 2019. The Company’s deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, were $188.9 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $211.7 million at September 30, 2018 . The Company has a valuation allowance related to state deferred tax assets for net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $17.0 million at March 31, 2019 and $17.7 million at September 30, 2018 . The Company will continue to evaluate both the positive and negative evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to the remaining state NOL carryforwards. Any reversal of the valuation allowance in future periods will impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The accounting for deferred taxes is based upon estimates of future results. Differences between the anticipated and actual outcomes of these future results could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. Also, changes in existing federal and state tax laws and tax rates could affect future tax results and the valuation of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Compensation Related Costs [Abstract]
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) The Company’s Stock Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options and restricted stock units to executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. Restricted stock unit awards may be based on performance (performance-based) or on service over a requisite time period (time-based). Performance-based and time-based RSU equity awards represent the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock per RSU if the vesting conditions and/or performance criteria are satisfied. The RSUs have no dividend or voting rights until vested. In November 2018 , a total of 360,000 performance-based RSU equity awards were granted to the Company’s Chairman and executive officers. These awards vest at the end of a three -year performance period ending September 30, 2021 . The number of units that ultimately vest depends on the Company’s relative position as compared to its peers in achieving certain performance criteria and can range from 10% to 200% of the number of units granted. The performance criteria are total shareholder return; return on investment; selling, general and administrative expense containment; and gross profit. The grant date fair value of these equity awards was $37.75 per unit. Compensation expense related to these grants was $1.4 million and $3.1 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , respectively, based on the Company’s performance against its peer group, the elapsed portion of the performance period and the grant date fair value of the award. During the six months ended March 31, 2019 , a total of 1.8 million time-based RSUs were granted to approximately 900 recipients, including the Company’s executive officers, other key employees and non-management directors. The weighted average grant date fair value of these equity awards was $33.75 per unit, and they vest annually in equal installments over periods of three to five years. Compensation expense related to these grants was $3.0 million and $7.4 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , respectively, of which $3.5 million in the six month period related to expense recognized for employees that were retirement eligible on the date of grant.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Warranty Claims The Company provides its homebuyers with a ten-year limited warranty for major defects in structural elements such as framing components and foundation systems, a two-year limited warranty on major mechanical systems, and a one-year limited warranty on other construction components. The Company’s warranty liability is based upon historical warranty cost experience in each market in which it operates and is adjusted to reflect qualitative risks associated with the types of homes built and the geographic areas in which they are built. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability during the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2019 2018 2019 2018 (In millions) Warranty liability, beginning of period $ 205.6 $ 149.4 $ 202.0 $ 143.7 Warranties issued 21.0 19.3 38.9 35.8 Changes in liability for pre-existing warranties 6.0 13.7 11.5 20.5 Settlements made (18.7 ) (19.8 ) (38.5 ) (37.4 ) Warranty liability, end of period $ 213.9 $ 162.6 $ 213.9 $ 162.6 Legal Claims and Insurance The Company is named as a defendant in various claims, complaints and other legal actions in the ordinary course of business. At any point in time, the Company is managing several hundred individual claims related to construction defect matters, personal injury claims, employment matters, land development issues, contract disputes and other matters. The Company has established reserves for these contingencies based on the estimated costs of pending claims and the estimated costs of anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes. The estimated liabilities for these contingencies were $419.1 million and $408.1 million at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Approximately 99% of these reserves related to construction defect matters at both March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 . Expenses related to the Company’s legal contingencies were $14.6 million and $39.0 million in the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The Company’s reserves for legal claims increased from $408.1 million at September 30, 2018 to $419.1 million at March 31, 2019 . Changes in the Company’s legal claims reserves during the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows: Six Months Ended 2019 2018 (In millions) Reserves for legal claims, beginning of period $ 408.1 $ 420.6 Increase in reserves 23.3 41.4 Payments (12.3 ) (18.4 ) Reserves for legal claims, end of period $ 419.1 $ 443.6 The Company estimates and records receivables under its applicable insurance policies related to its estimated contingencies for known claims and anticipated future construction defect claims on previously closed homes and other legal claims and lawsuits incurred in the ordinary course of business when recovery is probable. Additionally, the Company may have the ability to recover a portion of its losses from its subcontractors and their insurance carriers when the Company has been named as an additional insured on their insurance policies. The Company’s receivables related to its estimates of insurance recoveries from estimated losses for pending legal claims and anticipated future claims related to previously closed homes totaled $56.9 million , $54.6 million and $69.0 million at March 31, 2019 , September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 , respectively, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimation of losses related to these reserves and the related estimates of recoveries from insurance policies are subject to a high degree of variability due to uncertainties such as trends in construction defect claims relative to the Company’s markets and the types of products built, claim frequency, claim settlement costs and patterns, insurance industry practices and legal interpretations, among others. Due to the high degree of judgment required in establishing reserves for these contingencies, actual future costs and recoveries from insurance could differ significantly from current estimated amounts, and it is not possible for the Company to make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of its reserves. Land and Lot Purchase Contracts The Company enters into land and lot purchase contracts to acquire land or lots for the construction of homes. Under these contracts, the Company will fund a stated deposit in consideration for the right, but not the obligation, to purchase land or lots at a future point in time with predetermined terms. Under the terms of many of the purchase contracts, the deposits are not refundable in the event the Company elects to terminate the contract. Land and lot purchase contract deposits are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2019 , the Company’s homebuilding segment had total deposits of $461.0 million , consisting of cash deposits of $457.9 million and promissory notes and letters of credit of $3.1 million , related to contracts to purchase land and lots with a total remaining purchase price of approximately $7.4 billion . The majority of land and lots under contract are currently expected to be purchased within three years. Of these amounts, $76.5 million of the deposits related to contracts with Forestar to purchase land and lots with a remaining purchase price of $895.8 million . A limited number of the homebuilding land and lot purchase contracts at March 31, 2019 , representing $96.8 million of remaining purchase price, were subject to specific performance provisions that may require the Company to purchase the land or lots upon the land sellers meeting their respective contractual obligations. Of the $96.8 million remaining purchase price subject to specific performance provisions, $50.9 million related to contracts between the homebuilding segment and Forestar. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , Forestar reimbursed the Company’s homebuilding segment $4.7 million and $16.8 million , respectively, for previously paid earnest money and $0.7 million and $3.7 million , respectively, for pre-acquisition and other due diligence costs related to land purchase contracts whereby the homebuilding segment assigned its rights under contract to Forestar. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 , Forestar reimbursed the Company’s homebuilding segment $11.8 million and $14.0 million , respectively, for previously paid earnest money and $5.9 million and $8.2 million , respectively, for pre-acquisition and other due diligence costs. Other Commitments At March 31, 2019 , the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $1.6 billion and letters of credit of $148.3 million to secure performance under various contracts. Of the total letters of credit, $128.0 million were issued under the homebuilding revolving credit facility and $3.8 million were issued under Forestar’s revolving credit facility. The remaining $16.5 million of letters of credit were issued under secured letter of credit agreements, of which $1.5 million related to homebuilding operations and $15.0 million related to Forestar. These agreements require the deposit of cash as collateral with the issuing banks, which is included in restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale is based on contractual interest rates and included in other income. Mortgage loans held for sale valued using Level 3 inputs at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 include $8.4 million and $7.8 million , respectively, of loans for which the Company elected the fair value option upon origination and did not sell into the secondary market. The fair value of these mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated considering pricing in the secondary market and adjusted for the value of the underlying collateral, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk. The Company plans to sell these loans as market conditions permit. (b) Fair value measurements of these derivatives represent changes in fair value, as calculated by reference to quoted prices for similar assets, and are reflected in the balance sheet as other assets or accrued expenses and other liabilities. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 : Fair Value at Fair Value at Balance Sheet Location Level 2 Level 3 Level 2 Level 3 (In millions) Inventory held and used (a) (b) Inventories $ — $ 20.8 $ — $ 4.4 Inventory available for sale (a) (c) Inventories — — — 1.4 Mortgage loans held for sale (a) (d) Mortgage loans held for sale — 0.8 — 2.9 Other mortgage loans (a) (e) Other assets — 1.8 — 1.0 ___________________ (a) The fair values included in the table above represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value as a result of impairment in the respective period and were held at the end of the period. (b) In performing its impairment analysis of communities, discount rates ranging from 12% to 16% were used in the periods presented. (c) The fair value of inventory available for sale was determined based on recent offers received from outside third parties, comparable sales or actual contracts. (d) These mortgage loans have some degree of impairment affecting their marketability and are valued at the lower of carrying value or fair value. When available, quoted prices in the secondary market are used to determine fair value (Level 2); otherwise, a cash flow valuation model is used to determine fair value (Level 3). (e) The fair value of other mortgage loans was determined based on the value of the underlying collateral. For the financial assets and liabilities that the Company does not reflect at fair value, the following tables present both their respective carrying value and fair value at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 : Carrying Value Fair Value at March 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (In millions) Cash and cash equivalents (a) $ 698.8 $ 698.8 $ — $ — $ 698.8 Restricted cash (a) 32.4 32.4 — — 32.4 Notes payable (b) (c) 3,622.4 — 2,124.2 1,559.7 3,683.9 Carrying Value Fair Value at September 30, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (In millions) Cash and cash equivalents (a) $ 1,473.1 $ 1,473.1 $ — $ — $ 1,473.1 Restricted cash (a) 32.9 32.9 — — 32.9 Notes payable (b) (c) 3,203.5 — 2,602.6 642.2 3,244.8 ___________________ (a) The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block]	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In March 2019 , the Company assigned its rights under a land purchase contract to R&R Riverview LLC (R&R), an entity owned by Ryan Horton and Reagan Horton, the adult sons of Donald Horton, the Company’s Chairman. In March 2019 , R&R exercised its rights under the purchase contract and purchased 119 acres of undeveloped land in Arizona for $77.5 million . In connection with the transaction, Donald Horton loaned R&R $77.5 million at a 2.55% annual interest rate and obtained a security interest in the land. Concurrent with the contract assignment to R&R, the Company entered into a land purchase contract with R&R to purchase the 119 acres for R&R’s cost plus an annualized return of 16% . Based on the terms of the contract, the Company will purchase the land in two phases . The first purchase is expected in October 2019 . The Company has determined R&R is a variable interest entity, the Company has the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the variable interest entity in its consolidated financial statements by increasing inventory and notes payable at March 31, 2019 by $77.5 million .

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of D.R. Horton, Inc. and all of its 100% owned, majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, which are collectively referred to as the Company, unless the context otherwise requires. Noncontrolling interests represent the proportionate equity interests in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by the Company. The Company owns a 75% controlling interest in Forestar Group Inc. (Forestar) and therefore is required to consolidate 100% of Forestar within its consolidated financial statements, and the 25% interest the Company does not own is accounted for as noncontrolling interests. All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. These financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 , which was derived from audited financial statements, do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 .
Reclassifications	Changes in Presentation and Reclassifications In connection with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-18 in fiscal 2019, restricted cash is now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning and ending amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, resulting in a decrease in cash used in investing activities of $38.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2018 . In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification,” which makes a number of changes meant to simplify interim disclosures. In complying with the relevant aspects of the rule within the current year quarterly reports, the Company has removed the presentation of cash dividends declared per common share from the statements of operations and has added the consolidated statements of total equity. Certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	Adoption of New Accounting Standard On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606), which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires revenue to be recognized in a manner to depict the transfer of goods or services and satisfaction of performance obligations to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applied the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of October 1, 2018. Results for the reporting period beginning after October 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and will continue to be reported under the previous accounting standards. The Company recorded an increase to retained earnings of $27.1 million , net of tax, as of October 1, 2018, due to the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606, which was primarily related to the recognition of contract assets totaling $32.4 million for insurance brokerage commission renewals. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue and a contract asset for estimated future renewals of these policies upon issuance of the initial policy, the date at which the performance obligation is satisfied. There was not a material impact to revenues as a result of applying ASC 606 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 , and there have not been significant changes to the Company’s business processes, systems, or internal controls as a result of implementing the standard.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition Homebuilding revenue and related profit are generally recognized at the time of the closing of a sale, when title to and possession of the property are transferred to the buyer. The Company’s performance obligation, to deliver the agreed-upon home, is generally satisfied in less than one year from the original contract date. Proceeds from home closings held for the Company’s benefit at title companies are included in homebuilding cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company rarely purchases land for resale, but periodically may elect to sell parcels of land that no longer fit into its strategic operating plans. Cash consideration from land sales is typically due on the closing date, which is generally when performance obligations are satisfied. Financial services revenues associated with the Company’s title operations are recognized as closing services are rendered and title insurance policies are issued, both of which generally occur simultaneously as each home is closed. The Company transfers substantially all underwriting risk associated with title insurance policies to third-party insurers. The Company typically elects the fair value option for its mortgage loan originations. Mortgage loans held for sale are initially recorded at fair value based on either sale commitments or current market quotes and are adjusted for subsequent changes in fair value until the loans are sold. Net origination costs and fees associated with mortgage loans are recognized at the time of origination. The expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan are included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings at the time of commitment. The Company sells substantially all of the mortgages it originates and the related servicing rights to third-party purchasers. Interest income is earned from the date a mortgage loan is originated until the loan is sold. The Company collects insurance commissions on homeowner policies placed with third party carriers through its wholly owned insurance agency. The Company recognizes revenue and a contract asset for estimated future renewals of these policies upon issuance of the initial policy, the date at which the performance obligation is satisfied.
Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Business Acquisitions During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company acquired the homebuilding operations of Westport Homes, Classic Builders and Terramor Homes for $325.9 million . The assets acquired included approximately 700 homes in inventory, 4,500 lots and control of approximately 4,300 additional lots through land purchase contracts. The Company also acquired a sales order backlog of approximately 700 homes. Westport Homes operates in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Columbus, Ohio; Classic Builders operates in Des Moines, Iowa; and Terramor Homes operates in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Company’s allocation of the aggregate purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired through these transactions is not finalized and is subject to revision as additional information becomes available and more detailed analyses are completed. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired is as follows (in millions): Inventories $ 265.5 Other assets 23.3 Goodwill 54.3 Intangible assets 8.6 Other liabilities (25.8 ) Net assets acquired $ 325.9 As a result of these transactions, the Company’s preliminary estimate of goodwill is $54.3 million , of which $49.7 million was allocated to the Midwest region and $4.6 million was allocated to the East region. The goodwill is tax deductible and relates to expected synergies from expanding the Company’s market presence in its Midwest and East regions, the experienced and knowledgeable workforce of these entities and their capital efficient operating processes. The intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis to selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense over their expected lives, which range from one to three years .
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Pending Accounting Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires that lease assets and liabilities be recognized on the balance sheet and that key information about leasing arrangements be disclosed. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” which replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information in determining credit loss estimates. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” which simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by removing the second step of the goodwill impairment test and requires the determination of the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit. Under the new guidance, goodwill impairment is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value with the loss recognized limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
