Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lennar Corporation and all subsidiaries, partnerships and other entities in which Lennar Corporation has a controlling interest and VIEs (see Note 15) in which Lennar Corporation is deemed the primary beneficiary (the "Company"). The Company’s investments in both unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in VIEs in which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary are accounted for by the equity method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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 those estimates. Revenue Recognition Revenues from sales of homes are recognized when the sales are closed and title passes to the new homeowner, the new homeowner’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the home, the new homeowner’s receivable is not subject to future subordination and the Company does not have a substantial continuing involvement with the new home. Revenues from sales of land are recognized when a significant down payment is received, the earnings process is complete, title passes and collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured. See Lennar Financial Services, Rialto and Lennar Multifamily within this Note for disclosure of other revenue recognition policies related to those segments. Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $40.9 million , $47.9 million and $45.2 million for the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Share-Based Payments The Company has share-based awards outstanding under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plans"), each of which provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted common stock ("nonvested shares") and other share based awards to officers, associates and directors. The exercise prices of stock options may not be less than the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Exercises are permitted in installments determined when options are granted. Each stock option will expire on a date determined at the time of the grant, but not more than ten years after the date of the grant. The Company accounts for stock option awards and nonvested share awards granted under the Plans based on the estimated grant date fair value. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Due to the short maturity period of cash equivalents, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair values. Cash and cash equivalents as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 included $460.5 million and $414.9 million , respectively, of cash held in escrow for approximately 3 days. Restricted Cash Lennar Homebuilding restricted cash consists of customer deposits on home sales held in restricted accounts until title transfers to the homebuyer, as required by the state and local governments in which the homes were sold, as well as funds on deposit to secure and support performance obligations. Rialto restricted cash primarily consists of upfront deposits and application fees Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") receives before originating loans and is recognized as income once the loan has been originated as well as cash held in escrow by the Company’s loan servicer provider on behalf of customers and lenders and is disbursed in accordance with agreements between the transacting parties. Inventories Finished homes and construction in progress are included within inventories. Inventories are stated at cost unless the inventory within a community is determined to be impaired, in which case the impaired inventory is written down to fair value. Inventory costs include land, land development and home construction costs, real estate taxes, deposits on land purchase contracts and interest related to development and construction. Construction overhead and selling expenses are expensed as incurred. Homes held-for-sale are classified as inventories until delivered. Land, land development, amenities and other costs are accumulated by specific area and allocated to homes within the respective areas. The Company reviews its inventory for indicators of impairment by evaluating each community during each reporting period. The inventory within each community is categorized as finished homes and construction in progress or land under development based on the development state of the community. There were 693 and 662 active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. If the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by a community are less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the carrying amount of such community to its estimated fair value. In conducting its review for indicators of impairment on a community level, the Company evaluates, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, margins on homes under sales contracts in backlog, projected margins with regard to future home sales over the life of the community, projected margins with regard to future land sales and the estimated fair value of the land itself. The Company pays particular attention to communities in which inventory is moving at a slower than anticipated absorption pace and communities whose average sales price and/or margins are trending downward and are anticipated to continue to trend downward. From this review, the Company identifies communities in which to assess if the carrying values exceed their undiscounted projected cash flows. The Company estimates the fair value of its communities using a discounted cash flow model. The projected cash flows for each community are significantly impacted by estimates related to market supply and demand, product type by community, homesite sizes, sales pace, sales prices, sales incentives, construction costs, sales and marketing expenses, the local economy, competitive conditions, labor costs, costs of materials and other factors for that particular community. Every division evaluates the historical performance of each of its communities as well as current trends in the market and economy impacting the community and its surrounding areas. These trends are analyzed for each of the estimates listed above. Each of the homebuilding markets in which the Company operates is unique, as homebuilding has historically been a local business driven by local market conditions and demographics. Each of the Company’s homebuilding markets has specific supply and demand relationships reflective of local economic conditions. The Company’s projected cash flows are impacted by many assumptions. Some of the most critical assumptions in the Company’s cash flow model are projected absorption pace for home sales, sales prices and costs to build and deliver homes on a community by community basis. In order to arrive at the assumed absorption pace for home sales and the assumed sales prices included in the Company’s cash flow model, the Company analyzes its historical absorption pace and historical sales prices in the community and in other comparable communities in the geographical area. In addition, the Company considers internal and external market studies and places greater emphasis on more current metrics and trends, which generally include, but are not limited to, statistics and forecasts on population demographics and on sales prices in neighboring communities, unemployment rates and availability and sales prices of competing product in the geographical area where the community is located as well as the absorption pace realized in its most recent quarters and the sales prices included in the Company's current backlog for such communities. Generally, if the Company notices a variation from historical results over a span of two fiscal quarters, the Company considers such variation to be the establishment of a trend and adjusts its historical information accordingly in order to develop assumptions on the projected absorption pace and sales prices in the cash flow model for a community. In order to arrive at the Company’s assumed costs to build and deliver homes, the Company generally assumes a cost structure reflecting contracts currently in place with its vendors adjusted for any anticipated cost reduction initiatives or increases in cost structure. Those costs assumed are used in the cash flow model for the Company’s communities. Since the estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s cash flow models are based upon historical results and projected trends, they do not anticipate unexpected changes in market conditions or strategies that may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. The determination of fair value requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate the Company believes a market participant would determine to be commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. The discount rate used in determining each asset’s fair value depends on the community’s projected life and development stage. The Company generally uses a discount rate of approximately 20% , subject to the perceived risks associated with the community’s cash flow streams relative to its inventory. The Company estimates the fair value of inventory evaluated for impairment based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the inventory is evaluated, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or assumptions change. For example, changes in market conditions and other specific developments or changes in assumptions may cause the Company to re-evaluate its strategy regarding previously impaired inventory, as well as inventory not currently impaired but for which indicators of impairment may arise if market deterioration occurs, and certain other assets that could result in further valuation adjustments and/or additional write-offs of option deposits and pre-acquisition costs due to abandonment of those options contracts. As of November 30, 2016 , the Company reviewed its communities for potential indicators of impairments and identified 11 homebuilding communities with 663 homesites and a carrying value of $180.9 million as having potential indicators of impairment. For the year ended November 30, 2016 , the Company recorded no valuation adjustments. As of November 30, 2015 , the Company reviewed its communities for potential indicators of impairments and identified 13 homebuilding communities with 931 homesites and a carrying value of $121.7 million as having potential indicators of impairment. Of those communities, the Company recorded valuation adjustments of $8.1 million on 209 homesites in five communities with a carrying value of $19.4 million . The table below summarizes the most significant unobservable inputs used in the Company's discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of its communities for which the Company recorded valuation adjustments during the years ended November 30, 2015 and 2014 : Years ended November 30, 2015 2014 Unobservable inputs Range Average selling price $158,000 - $1,300,000 $164,000 Absorption rate per quarter (homes) 3 - 16 12 Discount rate 12 % - 20% 20% The Company also has access to land inventory through option contracts, which generally enables the Company to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties and unconsolidated entities until it has determined whether to exercise its option. A majority of the Company’s option contracts require a non-refundable cash deposit or irrevocable letter of credit based on a percentage of the purchase price of the land. The Company’s option contracts sometimes include price adjustment provisions, which adjust the purchase price of the land to its approximate fair value at the time of acquisition or are based on the fair value at the time of takedown. In determining whether to walk away from an option contract, the Company evaluates the option primarily based upon its expected cash flows from the property under option. If the Company intends to walk away from an option contract, it records a charge to earnings in the period such decision is made for the deposit amount and any related pre-acquisition costs associated with the option contract. Some option contracts contain a predetermined take-down schedule for the optioned land parcels. However, in almost all instances, the Company is not required to purchase land in accordance with those take-down schedules. In substantially all instances, the Company has the right and ability to not exercise its option and forfeit its deposit without further penalty, other than termination of the option and loss of any unapplied portion of its deposit and pre-acquisition costs. Therefore, in substantially all instances, the Company does not consider the take-down price to be a firm contractual obligation. When the Company does not intend to exercise an option, it writes off any unapplied deposit and pre-acquisition costs associated with the option contract. Lennar Homebuilding and Lennar Multifamily Investments in Unconsolidated Entities The Company evaluates the long-lived assets in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment during each reporting period. If a valuation adjustment is recorded by an unconsolidated entity related to its assets, the Company generally uses a discount rate between 10% and 20% , subject to the perceived risks associated with the community’s cash flow streams relative to its inventory or operating assets. The Company’s proportionate share of a valuation adjustment is reflected in the Company's Lennar Homebuilding or Lennar Multifamily equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities with a corresponding decrease to its Lennar Homebuilding or Lennar Multifamily investment in unconsolidated entities. Additionally, the Company evaluates if a decrease in the value of an investment below its carrying value is other-than-temporary. This evaluation includes certain critical assumptions made by management: (1) projected future distributions from the unconsolidated entities, (2) discount rates applied to the future distributions and (3) various other factors, which include age of the venture, relationships with the other partners and banks, general economic market conditions, land status and liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity. If the decline in the fair value of the investment is other-than-temporary, then these losses are included in Lennar Homebuilding other income, net or Lennar Multifamily costs and expenses. The Company tracks its share of cumulative earnings and distributions of its joint ventures ("JVs"). For purposes of classifying distributions received from JVs in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows, cumulative distributions are treated as returns on capital to the extent of cumulative earnings and included in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows as operating activities. Cumulative distributions in excess of the Company’s share of cumulative earnings are treated as returns of capital and included in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows as cash from investing activities. Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities GAAP requires the consolidation of VIEs in which an enterprise has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company’s variable interest in VIEs may be in the form of (1) equity ownership, (2) contracts to purchase assets, (3) management and development agreements between the Company and a VIE, (4) loans provided by the Company to a VIE or other partner and/or (5) guarantees provided by members to banks and other third parties. The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, level of economic disproportionality, if any, between the Company and the other partner(s) and contracts to purchase assets from VIEs. The determination whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary may require it to exercise significant judgment. Generally, all major decision making in the Company’s joint ventures is shared among all partners. In particular, business plans and budgets are generally required to be unanimously approved by all partners. Usually, management and other fees earned by the Company are nominal and believed to be at market and there is no significant economic disproportionality between the Company and other partners. Generally, the Company purchases less than a majority of the JV’s assets and the purchase prices under its option contracts are believed to be at market. Generally, Lennar Homebuilding and Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated entities become VIEs and consolidate when the other partner(s) lack the intent and financial wherewithal to remain in the entity. As a result, the Company continues to fund operations and debt paydowns through partner loans or substituted capital contributions. Operating Properties and Equipment Operating properties and equipment are recorded at cost and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. At the time operating properties and equipment are disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to earnings. The estimated useful life for operating properties is 30 years , for furniture, fixtures and equipment is two to ten years and for leasehold improvements is five years or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter. Operating properties are reviewed for possible impairment if there are indicators that their carrying amounts are not recoverable. Investment Securities Investment securities are classified as available-for-sale unless they are classified as trading or held-to-maturity. Securities classified as trading are carried at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded in earnings. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Any unrealized holding gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax, until realized. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost because they are purchased with the intent and ability to hold to maturity. At November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Lennar Financial Services segment had investment securities classified as held-to-maturity totaling $42.0 million and $40.2 million , respectively, which consist mainly of corporate debt obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities that mature at various dates, mainly within five years. Also, at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Lennar Financial Services segment had available-for-sale securities totaling $53.6 million and $42.8 million , respectively, which consist primarily of preferred stock and mutual funds. These investments available-for-sale are carried at fair value with changes recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Rialto segment had investment securities classified as held-to-maturity totaling $71.3 million and $25.6 million , respectively. The Rialto segment held-to-maturity securities consist of commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"). At both November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had no investment securities classified as trading. Interest and Real Estate Taxes Interest and real estate taxes attributable to land and homes are capitalized as inventory costs while they are being actively developed. Interest related to homebuilding and land, including interest costs relieved from inventories, is included in costs of homes sold and costs of land sold. Interest expense related to the Lennar Financial Services operations is included in its costs and expenses. During the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , interest incurred by the Company’s homebuilding operations related to homebuilding debt was $281.4 million , $288.5 million and $273.4 million , respectively; interest capitalized into inventories was $276.8 million , $276.1 million and $236.9 million , respectively. Interest expense was included in costs of homes sold, costs of land sold and other interest expense as follows: Years Ended November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Interest expense in costs of homes sold $ 235,148 205,200 161,371 Interest expense in costs of land sold 5,287 2,493 3,617 Other interest expense 4,626 12,454 36,551 Total interest expense $ 245,061 220,147 201,539 Income Taxes The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the changes are enacted. Interest related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the financial statements as a component of income tax expense. A reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance is required if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed each reporting period by the Company based on the consideration of all available positive and negative evidence using a "more-likely-than-not" standard with respect to whether deferred tax assets will be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, actual earnings, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with loss carryforwards not expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. Based on the analysis of positive and negative evidence, the Company believed that there was enough positive evidence for the Company to conclude that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize the majority of its deferred tax assets. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company's net deferred tax assets included a valuation allowance of $5.8 million and $5.9 million , respectively. See Note 10 for additional information. Product Warranty Warranty and similar reserves for homes are established at an amount estimated to be adequate to cover potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be incurred subsequent to the delivery of a home. Reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. The Company regularly monitors the warranty reserve and makes adjustments to its pre-existing warranties in order to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. Warranty reserves are included in Lennar Homebuilding other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The activity in the Company’s warranty reserve was as follows: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Warranty reserve, beginning of year $ 130,853 115,927 Warranties issued 96,934 81,505 Adjustments to pre-existing warranties from changes in estimates (1) 2,079 11,451 Payments (94,463 ) (78,030 ) Warranty reserve, end of year $ 135,403 130,853 (1) The adjustments to pre-existing warranties from changes in estimates during the years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 primarily related to specific claims related to certain of our homebuilding communities and other adjustments. Self-Insurance Certain insurable risks such as construction defects, general liability, medical and workers’ compensation are self-insured by the Company up to certain limits. Undiscounted accruals for claims under the Company’s self-insurance program are based on claims filed and estimates for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company’s self-insurance reserve as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 was $87.6 million and $96.5 million , respectively, of which $57.4 million and $65.0 million , respectively, was included in Lennar Financial Services’ other liabilities in the respective years. Amounts incurred in excess of the Company's self-insurance occurrence or aggregate retention limits are covered by insurance up to the Company's purchased coverage levels. The Company's insurance policies are maintained with highly-rated underwriters for whom the Company believes counterparty default risk is not significant. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings of the Company. All outstanding nonvested shares that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents that participate in undistributed earnings with common stock are considered participating securities and are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s restricted common stock ("nonvested shares") are considered participating securities. Lennar Financial Services Revenue Recognition Title premiums on policies issued directly by the Company are recognized as revenue on the effective date of the title policies and escrow fees and loan origination revenues are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow. Revenues from title policies issued by independent agents are recognized as revenue when notice of issuance is received from the agent, which is generally when cash payment is received by the Company. Expected gains and losses from the sale of loans and their related servicing rights are included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings at the time of commitment. Interest income on loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment is recognized as earned over the terms of the mortgage loans based on the contractual interest rates. Loans Held-for-Sale Loans held-for-sale by the Lennar Financial Services segment, including the rights to service the mortgage loans, are carried at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in earnings. Premiums and discounts recorded on these loans are presented as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the loans and are not amortized. Management believes carrying loans held-for-sale at fair value improves financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring the fair value of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. In addition, the Lennar Financial Services segment recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue upon entering into an interest rate lock loan commitment with a borrower. The fair value of these servicing rights is included in Lennar Financial Services' other assets as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 . Fair value of the servicing rights is determined based on values in the Company’s servicing sales contracts. Provision for Losses The Company establishes reserves for possible losses associated with mortgage loans previously originated and sold to investors based upon, among other things, an analysis of repurchase requests received, an estimate of potential repurchase claims not yet received and actual past repurchases and losses through the disposition of affected loans, as well as previous settlements. Loan origination liabilities are included in Lennar Financial Services’ liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The activity in the Company’s loan origination liabilities was as follows: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Loan origination liabilities, beginning of year $ 19,492 11,818 Provision for losses 4,627 4,040 Adjustments to pre-existing provisions for losses from changes in estimates (1) 1,224 4,415 Payments/settlements (438 ) (781 ) Loan origination liabilities, end of year $ 24,905 19,492 (1) The adjustments to pre-existing provisions for losses from changes in estimates for the years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 primarily related to an adjustment for additional repurchase requests that were received beyond the estimated provision that was recorded. Loans Held-for-Investment, Net Loans for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity consist of mortgage loans carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized discounts and allowance for loan losses. Discounts are amortized over the estimated lives of the loans using the interest method. The Lennar Financial Services segment also provides an allowance for loan losses. The provision recorded and the adequacy of the related allowance is determined by management’s continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of past loan loss experience, credit worthiness and nature of underlying collateral, present economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by the Company’s management. Anticipated changes in economic factors, which may influence the level of the allowance, are considered in the evaluation by the Company’s management when the likelihood of the changes can be reasonably determined. While the Company’s management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary as a result of future economic and other conditions that may be beyond management’s control. Derivative Financial Instruments The Lennar Financial Services segment, in the normal course of business, uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in mortgage-related interest rates. The segment uses mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") forward commitments, option contracts, future contracts and investor commitments to protect the value of fixed rate-locked loan commitments and loans held-for-sale from fluctuations in mortgage-related interest rates. These derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value with the changes in fair value included in Lennar Financial Services revenues. Rialto Management Fee Revenue The Rialto segment provides services to a variety of legal entities and investment vehicles such as funds, joint ventures, co-invests, and |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Operating And Reporting Segments | Operating and Reporting Segments As of and for the year ended November 30, 2016 , the Company’s operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. The Company’s reportable segments consist of: (1) Homebuilding East (2) Homebuilding Central (3) Homebuilding West (4) Lennar Financial Services (5) Rialto (6) Lennar Multifamily During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company evaluated all of its reportable segments and as the Houston operating division, which previously had been reported a separate reportable segment, did not meet the reportable criteria set forth in ASC 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280") , the Company aggregated this operating division into the Homebuilding Central reportable segment as this division exhibits similar economic characteristics, geography and product type as the other divisions in Homebuilding Central. In addition, during the first quarter of 2016, the Company made the decision to divide the Southeast Florida operating division into two operating segments to maximize operational efficiencies given the continued growth of the division. As a result of this change in management structure, the Company re-evaluated its reportable segments and determined that neither operating segment met the reportable criteria set forth in ASC 280. The Company aggregated these operating segments into the Homebuilding East reportable segment as these divisions exhibit similar economic characteristics, geography and product type as the other divisions in Homebuilding East. All prior year segment information has been restated to conform with the 2016 presentation. The changes in the reportable segments have no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented. Information about homebuilding activities in states which are not economically similar to other states in the same geographic area is grouped under "Homebuilding Other," which is not considered a reportable segment. Evaluation of segment performance is based primarily on operating earnings (loss) before income taxes. Operations of the Company’s homebuilding segments primarily include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes, as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through the Company’s unconsolidated entities. Operating earnings (loss) for the homebuilding segments consist of revenues generated from the sales of homes and land, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and other interest expense of the segment. The Company’s reportable homebuilding segments and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately, have homebuilding divisions located in: East: Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas West: California and Nevada Other: Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington Operations of the Lennar Financial Services segment include primarily mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of the Company’s homes and others. The Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Lennar Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Lennar Financial Services segment operates generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations as well as in other states. Operations of the Rialto segment include raising, investing and managing third-party capital, originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans as well as investing its own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and real estate related securities as well as providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto’s operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from gains from securitization transactions and interest income from the RMF business, interest income associated with portfolios of real estate loans acquired and other portfolios of real estate loans and assets acquired, asset management, due diligence and underwriting fees derived from the real estate investment funds managed by the Rialto segment, fees for sub-advisory services, other income (expense), net, and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the costs incurred by the segment for managing portfolios, costs related to RMF and other general and administrative expenses. Operations of the Lennar Multifamily segment include revenues generated from land sales, revenue from construction activities and management fees generated from joint ventures, and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the cost of land sold, expenses related to construction activities and general and administrative expenses. Each reportable segment follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements. Operational results of each segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

At November 30, 2016 , the Lennar Financial Services segment warehouse facilities were as follows: (In thousands) Maximum Aggregate Commitment 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures December 2016 (1)(2) $ 400,000 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures June 2017 (3) 600,000 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures September 2017 300,000 Total $ 1,300,000 (1) Maximum aggregate commitment includes an uncommitted amount of $250 million . (2) Subsequent to November 30, 2016 , the warehouse repurchase facility maturity date was extended to December 2017. (3) In accordance with the amended warehouse repurchase facility agreement, the maximum aggregate commitment will be decreased to $400 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and will be increased to $600 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The Lennar Financial Services segment uses these facilities to finance its lending activities until the mortgage loans are sold to investors and the proceeds are collected. The facilities are non-recourse to the Company and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. Borrowings under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were $1.1 billion and $858.3 million at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $1.1 billion and $916.9 million at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The combined effective interest rate on the facilities at November 30, 2016 was 2.9% The assets and liabilities related to the Rialto segment were as follows: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 148,827 150,219 Restricted cash 9,935 15,061 Receivables, net (1) 204,518 154,948 Loans held-for-sale (2) 126,947 316,275 Loans receivable, net 111,608 164,826 Real estate owned - held-for-sale 160,344 183,052 Real estate owned - held-and-used, net 83,359 153,717 Investments in unconsolidated entities 245,741 224,869 Investments held-to-maturity 71,260 25,625 Other 113,671 116,908 $ 1,276,210 1,505,500 Liabilities: Notes and other debts payable $ 622,335 771,728 Other 85,645 94,496 $ 707,980 866,224 (1) Receivables, net primarily related to loans sold but not settled as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 . (2) Loans held-for-sale related to unsold loans originated by RMF carried at fair value. For the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , Rialto costs and expenses included loan impairments of $18.2 million , $10.4 million and $57.1 million , respectively, primarily associated with the segment's FDIC loans portfolio (before noncontrolling interests). For the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , Rialto operating earnings included net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of ($18.8) million , $4.8 million and ($22.5) million , respectively. The following is a detail of Rialto other income (expense), net: Years Ended November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Realized gains on REO sales, net $ 17,495 35,242 43,671 Unrealized losses on transfer of loans receivable to REO and impairments, net (23,087 ) (13,678 ) (26,107 ) REO and other expenses (54,008 ) (57,740 ) (58,067 ) Rental and other income (1) 19,750 48,430 43,898 Rialto other income (expense), net $ (39,850 ) 12,254 3,395 (1) Rental and other income for the year ended November 30, 2016 , included a $16.0 million write-off of uncollectible receivables related to a hospital, which was acquired through the resolution of one of Rialto's loans from a 2010 portfolio. The hospital is managed by a third-party management company. Loans Receivable The following table represents loans receivable, net by type: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Nonaccrual loans: FDIC and Bank Portfolios $ 47,122 88,694 Accrual loans 64,486 76,132 Loans receivable, net $ 111,608 164,826 The nonaccrual loan portfolios consist primarily of loans acquired at a discount. In 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies in partnership with the FDIC ("FDIC Portfolios"). The LLCs met the accounting definition of VIEs and since the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the LLCs. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs' performance through Rialto's management and servicer contracts. At November 30, 2016 and 2015 , these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $213.8 million and $355.2 million , respectively, and liabilities of $10.3 million and $11.3 million , respectively. In addition, in 2010 Rialto acquired 400 distressed residential and commercial real estate loans ("Bank Portfolios") and over 300 REO properties from three financial institutions. Based on the nature of these loans, the portfolios are managed by assessing the risks related to the likelihood of collection of payments from borrowers and guarantors, as well as monitoring the value of the underlying collateral. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , management classified all loans receivable within the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios as nonaccrual loans as forecasted principal and interest cannot be reasonably estimated, and therefore, the Company accounts for these assets in accordance with ASC 310-10, Receivables . As of November 30, 2016 , accrual loans included floating and fixed rate commercial property loans maturing between October 2017 and June 2018. Accrual loans as of November 30, 2015 included $17.1 million of convertible land loans that matured and were settled in July 2016 and $59.1 million of floating and fixed rate commercial property loans that were maturing between May 2016 and July 2018. The following tables represent nonaccrual loans in the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios accounted for under ASC 310-10 aggregated by collateral type: November 30, 2016 Recorded Investment (In thousands) Unpaid Principal Balance With Allowance Without Allowance Total Recorded Investment Land $ 86,076 30,157 2,273 32,430 Single family homes 17,314 2,835 2,348 5,183 Commercial properties 9,949 1,015 — 1,015 Other 50,676 259 8,235 8,494 Nonaccrual loans $ 164,015 34,266 12,856 47,122 November 30, 2015 Recorded Investment (In thousands) Unpaid Principal Balance With Allowance Without Allowance Total Recorded Investment Land $ 145,417 59,740 1,165 60,905 Single family homes 39,659 8,344 3,459 11,803 Commercial properties 13,458 1,368 1,085 2,453 Other 78,279 — 13,533 13,533 Nonaccrual loans $ 276,813 69,452 19,242 88,694 The average recorded investment in impaired loans totaled approximately $68 million and $109 million for the years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. In order to assess the risk associated with each risk category, management evaluates the forecasted cash flows and the value of the underlying collateral securing the loans receivable on a quarterly basis or when an event occurs that suggests a decline in the collateral’s fair value. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve established through provisions for loan losses charged against Rialto’s operating earnings. For nonaccrual loans, the risk relates to a decline in the value of the collateral securing the outstanding obligation. If the recorded investment in the nonaccrual loan exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recognized through an allowance for loan losses. The activity in the Company's allowance rollforward related to nonaccrual loans was as follows: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Allowance on nonaccrual loans, beginning of year $ 35,625 58,326 Provision for loan losses 18,229 10,363 Charge-offs (23,627 ) (33,064 ) Allowance on nonaccrual loans, end of year $ 30,227 35,625 For accrual loans an allowance is calculated based on a review of individual loans considered impaired. The analysis of impaired losses may be based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate, an observable market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral on collateral dependent loans. In determining the collectability of certain loans, management also considers the fair value of any underlying collateral. Based on management's assessment, no allowance for loan losses were recorded for Rialto's accrual loans as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Real Estate Owned The acquisition of properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are reported within the consolidated balance sheets as REO held-and-used, net and REO held-for-sale. The following tables present the activity in REO: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 REO - held-for-sale, beginning of year $ 183,052 190,535 Improvements 3,006 5,535 Sales (80,153 ) (120,053 ) Impairments and unrealized losses (25,153 ) (12,192 ) Transfers to/from held-and-used, net (1) 79,592 119,227 REO - held-for-sale, end of year $ 160,344 183,052 November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 REO - held-and-used, net, beginning of year $ 153,717 255,795 Additions 13,772 20,134 Improvements (1,100 ) 2,942 Impairments (1,819 ) (2,624 ) Depreciation (1,619 ) (2,339 ) Transfers to held-for-sale (1) (79,592 ) (119,227 ) Other — (964 ) REO - held-and-used, net, end of year $ 83,359 153,717 (1) During the years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Rialto segment transferred certain properties to/from REO held-and-used, net to REO held-for-sale as a result of changes made in the disposition strategy of the real estate assets. For the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded net gains (losses) of $1.3 million , ($1.3) million and ($6.8) million , respectively, from acquisitions of REO through foreclosure. These net gains (losses) are recorded in Rialto other income (expense), net. Rialto Mortgage Finance - loans held-for-sale During the year ended November 30, 2016 , RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $1.8 billion , of which $1.7 billion were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $81.2 million were recorded as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $1.9 billion of loans into 11 separate securitizations. During the year ended November 30, 2015 , RMF originated loans with a principal balance of $2.7 billion of which $2.6 billion were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $62.3 million were recorded as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $2.4 billion of loans into 12 separate securitizations. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , originated loans with an unpaid principal balance of $199.8 million and $151.8 million , respectively, were sold into a securitization trust but not settled and thus were included as receivables, net. Notes and Other Debts Payable The Rialto segment has $350 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.00% senior notes due 2018 (the " 7.00% Senior Notes"). Interest on the 7.00% Senior Notes is due semi-annually. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of the 7.00% Senior Notes was $348.7 million and $347.9 million , respectively. Under the indenture, Rialto is subject to certain covenants limiting, among other things, Rialto’s ability to incur indebtedness, to make investments, to make distributions to, or enter into transactions with, Lennar or to create liens, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. Rialto also has quarterly and annual reporting requirements, similar to an SEC registrant, to holders of the 7.00% Senior Notes. The Company believes Rialto was in compliance with its debt covenants at November 30, 2016 . At November 30, 2016 , Rialto warehouse facilities were as follows: (In thousands) Maximum Aggregate Commitment 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures April 2017 (1)(2) $ 500,000 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures January 2017 (1) 250,000 Warehouse repurchase facility that matures December 2017 (1) 200,000 Warehouse repurchase facility that matures August 2018 (two - one year extensions) (3) 100,000 Totals $ 1,050,000 (1) RMF uses these facilities to finance its loan origination and securitization activities. (2) The warehouse repurchase facility has the option of an additional six month extension. (3) Rialto uses this warehouse repurchase facility to finance the origination of floating rate accrual loans which are reported as accrual loans within loans receivable, net. Borrowings under this facility were $43.3 million and $36.3 million as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's loan originations and securitization activities were $180.2 million and $317.1 million as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and were secured by a 75% interest in the originated commercial loans financed. The facilities require immediate repayment of the 75% interest in the secured commercial loans when the loans are sold in a securitization and the proceeds are collected. These warehouse repurchase facilities are non-recourse to the Company and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. In November 2016, Rialto paid the remaining outstanding principal amount of $30.3 million related to a $124 million senior unsecured note provided by one of the selling institutions in the Bank Portfolios and REO properties transaction. In 2014, Rialto issued two notes with a principal amount of $94.7 million through structured note offerings (the "Structured Notes") at a price of 100% and 99.5% , respectively, with annual coupon rates of 2.85% . and 5.00% , respectively, and collateralized by certain assets originally acquired in the Bank Portfolios. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the remaining outstanding principal amount, net of debt issuance costs, related to the Structured Notes was $23.9 million and $31.3 million , respectively and the estimated final payment date is December 15, 2017 . Investments Generally, all of Rialto's investments in funds have the attributes of an investment company in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies , as amended by ASU 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements , the attributes of which are different from the attributes that would cause a company to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the funds in which Rialto has investments in are recorded at fair value with increases/decreases in fair value recorded in their respective statements of operations and the Company’s share recorded in Rialto equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities in the Company's statement of operations.

During the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , Rialto received $10.1 million , $20.0 million and $34.7 million , respectively, of advance distributions with regard to Rialto's carried interests in its real estate funds in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to Rialto's carried interests in these funds. These advance distributions are not subject to clawbacks and therefore are included in Rialto's revenues. During 2015, Rialto adopted a Carried Interest Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), under which participating employees in the aggregate may receive up to 40% of the equity units of a limited liability company (a "Carried Interest Entity") that is entitled to distributions made by a fund or other investment vehicle (a "Fund") managed by a subsidiary of Rialto. As such, those employees receiving equity units in a Carried Interest Entity may benefit from distributions made by a Fund to the extent the Carried Interest Entity makes distributions to its equity holders. The units issued to employees are equity awards and are subject to vesting schedules and forfeiture or repurchase provisions in the case of a termination of employment.

Lennar Homebuilding Investments In Unconsolidated Entities | Lennar Homebuilding Investments in Unconsolidated Entities Summarized condensed financial information on a combined 100% basis related to Lennar Homebuilding’s unconsolidated entities that are accounted for by the equity method was as follows: Statements of Operations Years Ended November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Revenues $ 439,874 1,309,517 263,395 Costs and expenses 578,831 969,509 291,993 Other income — 49,343 — Net earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities $ (138,957 ) 389,351 (28,598 ) Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities $ (49,275 ) 63,373 (355 ) For the year ended November 30, 2016 , Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was primarily attributable to the Company's share of costs associated with the FivePoint combination and operational net losses from the new FivePoint unconsolidated entity, totaling $42.6 million . This was partially offset by $12.7 million of equity in earnings primarily due to sales of homesites to third parties by one of the Company's unconsolidated entities. For the year ended November 30, 2015 , Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings included $82.8 million of equity in earnings from one of the Company's unconsolidated entities primarily due to (1) sales of approximately 800 homesites to a joint venture in which the Company has a 50% investment and for which the Company's portion of the gross profit from the sale was deferred, (2) sales of approximately 700 homesites and a commercial property to third parties and (3) a gain on debt extinguishment. In addition, for the year ended November 30, 2015 , net earnings of unconsolidated entities included sales of approximately 300 homesites to Lennar by one of the Company's unconsolidated entities that resulted in $49.3 million of gross profit, of which the Company's portion was deferred. For the year ended November 30, 2014 , Lennar Homebuilding equity in loss from unconsolidated entities related primarily to the Company's share of operating losses from various Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, which included $4.6 million of valuation adjustments related to assets of Lennar Homebuilding's unconsolidated entities, partially offset by $4.7 million of equity in earnings as a result of third-party land sales by one unconsolidated entity. Balance Sheets November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 221,334 248,980 Inventories 3,889,795 3,059,054 Other assets 1,338,302 465,404 $ 5,449,431 3,773,438 Liabilities and equity: Accounts payable and other liabilities $ 791,245 288,192 Debt 892,850 792,886 Equity 3,765,336 2,692,360 $ 5,449,431 3,773,438 On May 2, 2016 (the "Closing Date"), the Company contributed, or obtained the right to contribute, its investment in three strategic joint ventures previously managed by FivePoint Communities in exchange for an investment in a FivePoint entity. The fair values of the assets contributed to this FivePoint entity, included within the unconsolidated entities summarized condensed balance sheet presented above, are preliminary and may be adjusted when additional information is obtained during the transaction's measurement period (a period of up to one year from the Closing Date) that may change the fair value allocation as of the acquisition date. A portion of the assets of one of the three strategic joint ventures was retained by Lennar and its venture partner in a new unconsolidated entity. The transactions did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or cash flows. The Company recorded its share of combination costs in equity in loss from unconsolidated entities on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended November 30, 2016 . As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company’s recorded investments in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were $811.7 million and $741.6 million , respectively, while the underlying equity in Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities partners’ net assets as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 was $1.2 billion and $839.5 million , respectively. The basis difference is primarily as a result of the Company contributing its investment in three strategic joint ventures with a higher fair value than book value for an investment in the FivePoint entity and deferring equity in earnings on land sales to the Company. During the year ended November 30, 2015 , one of the Company's unconsolidated entities sold approximately 800 homesites to a joint venture, in which the Company has a 50% investment, for $472 million of which $320.0 million was financed through a non-recourse note. This transaction resulted in $157.4 million of gross profit, of which the Company's portion was deferred. In addition, this transaction resulted in an increase in inventory, other assets and debt of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities reflected in the summarized condensed financial information presented in the previous table for the year ended November 30, 2015 . The Company’s partners generally are unrelated homebuilders, land owners/developers and financial or other strategic partners. The unconsolidated entities follow accounting principles that are in all material respects the same as those used by the Company. The Company shares in the profits and losses of these unconsolidated entities generally in accordance with its ownership interests. In many instances, the Company is appointed as the day-to-day manager under the direction of a management committee that has shared powers amongst the partners of the unconsolidated entities and the Company receives management fees and/or reimbursement of expenses for performing this function. During the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company received management fees and reimbursement of expenses, net of deferrals, from Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities totaling $13.2 million , $31.3 million and $30.7 million , respectively. The Company and/or its partners sometimes obtain options or enter into other arrangements under which the Company can purchase portions of the land held by the unconsolidated entities. Option prices are generally negotiated prices that approximate fair value when the Company receives the options. During the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , $130.4 million , $177.6 million and $59.0 million , respectively, of the unconsolidated entities’ revenues were from land sales to the Company. The Company does not include in its Lennar Homebuilding equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities its pro-rata share of unconsolidated entities’ earnings resulting from land sales to its homebuilding divisions. Instead, the Company accounts for those earnings as a reduction of the cost of purchasing the land from the unconsolidated entities. This in effect defers recognition of the Company’s share of the unconsolidated entities’ earnings related to these sales until the Company delivers a home and title passes to a third-party homebuyer. The Lennar Homebuilding entities in which the Company has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In some instances, the Company and its partners have guaranteed debt of certain unconsolidated entities. The total debt of the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments was as follows: November 30, (Dollars in thousands) 2016 2015 Non-recourse bank debt and other debt (partner’s share of several recourse) $ 48,945 50,411 Non-recourse land seller debt and other debt (1) 323,995 324,000 Non-recourse debt with completion guarantees 147,100 146,760 Non-recourse debt without completion guarantees 320,372 260,734 Non-recourse debt to the Company 840,412 781,905 The Company’s maximum recourse exposure (2) 52,438 10,981 Total debt $ 892,850 792,886 The Company’s maximum recourse exposure as a % of total JV debt 6 % 1 % (1) Non-recourse land seller debt and other debt as of both November 30, 2016 and 2015 , included a $320 million non-recourse note related to a transaction between one of the Company's unconsolidated entities and another unconsolidated joint venture, described previously, which was settled subsequent to November 30, 2016 . (2) As of November 30, 2016 , the Company's maximum recourse exposure was primarily related to the Company providing a repayment guarantee on an unconsolidated entity's debt. In most instances in which the Company has guaranteed debt of a Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity, the Company’s partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their share of the guarantee payments. In a repayment guarantee, the Company and its venture partners guarantee repayment of a portion or all of the debt in the event of default before the lender would have to exercise its rights against the collateral. In connection with many of the loans to Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entities, the Company and its joint venture partners (or entities related to them) have been required to give guarantees of completion to the lenders. Those completion guarantees may require that the guarantors complete the construction of the improvements for which the financing was obtained. If the construction is to be done in phases, the guarantee generally is limited to completing only the phases as to which construction has already commenced and for which loan proceeds were used. If the Company is required to make a payment under any guarantee, the payment would constitute a capital contribution or loan to the Lennar Homebuilding unconsolidated entity and increase the Company's investment in the unconsolidated entity and its share of any funds the entity distributes. As of both November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the fair values of the repayment guarantees and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of November 30, 2016 |

In June 2016, the Company amended the credit agreement governing its unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") to increase the maximum borrowings from $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion . The maturity for $1.3 billion of the Credit Facility was extended from June 2019 to June 2020, with the remaining $160 million maturing in June 2018. As of November 30, 2016 , the Credit Facility included a $298 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments, with certain financial institutions. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility, which are subject to specified conditions for borrowing, may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The credit agreement also provides that up to $500 million in commitments may be used for letters of credit. As of both November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. Under the Credit Facility agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratio and either a liquidity or an interest coverage ratio. These ratios are calculated per the Credit Facility agreement, which involves adjustments to GAAP financial measures. The Company believes it was in compliance with its debt covenants at November 30, 2016 . In addition, the Company had $320 million letter of credit facilities with different financial institutions at November 30, 2016 . The Company’s performance letters of credit outstanding were $270.8 million and $236.5 million at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The Company’s financial letters of credit outstanding were $210.3 million and $216.7 million at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Performance letters of credit are generally posted with regulatory bodies to guarantee the Company’s performance of certain development and construction activities. Financial letters of credit are generally posted in lieu of cash deposits on option contracts, for insurance risks, credit enhancements and as other collateral. Additionally, at November 30, 2016 , the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $1.4 billion including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects of the Company’s joint ventures) and financial surety bonds including $223.4 million related to pending litigation. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, these bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. As of November 30, 2016 , there were approximately $488.9 million , or 42% , of anticipated future costs to complete related to these site improvements. The Company does not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds or letters of credit, but if any such draws occur, the Company does not believe they would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The terms of each of the Company's senior notes outstanding at November 30, 2016 were as follows: Senior Notes Outstanding (1) Principal Amount Net Proceeds (2) Price Dates Issued (Dollars in thousands) 12.25% senior notes due 2017 $ 400,000 $ 386,700 98.098 % April 2009 4.75% senior notes due December 2017 400,000 395,900 100 % July 2012, August 2012 6.95% senior notes due 2018 250,000 243,900 98.929 % May 2010 4.125% senior notes due December 2018 275,000 271,718 99.998 % February 2013 4.500% senior notes due 2019 500,000 495,725 (3) February 2014 4.50% senior notes due 2019 600,000 595,801 (4) November 2014, February 2015 4.750% senior notes due 2021 500,000 495,974 100 % March 2016 4.750% senior notes due 2022 575,000 567,585 (5) October 2012, February 2013, April 2013 4.875% senior notes due December 2023 400,000 393,622 99.169 % November 2015 4.750% senior notes due 2025 500,000 495,528 100 % April 2015 (1) Interest is payable semi-annually for each of the series of senior notes.

The 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes were converted at the initial conversion rate of 42.5555 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.50 per share of Class A common stock. For the year ended November 30, 2016 , the calculation of diluted earnings per share included 11.9 million shares related to the dilutive effect of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes. For both the years ended November 30, 2015 and 2014 , the calculation of diluted earnings per share included 17.0 million shares related to the dilutive effect of the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes. During the year ended November 30, 2016 , all of the remaining $234 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 2.75% convertible senior notes due December 2020 (the " 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes") were converted or exchanged by the holders for approximately $234 million in cash and 5.2 million shares of Class A common stock, plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the exchanges. The 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes were convertible into cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of both, at the Company’s election. However, the Company settled the face value of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes in cash. Holders converted or exchanged the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes at the initial conversion rate of 45.1794 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $22.13 per share of Class A common stock. For the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the calculation of diluted earnings per share included 0.4 million shares, 8.6 million shares and 9.0 million shares, respectively, related to the dilutive effect of the 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes. Subsequent to November 30, 2016 , the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2022 (the " 4.125% Senior Notes") at a price of 100% . Proceeds from the offering, after underwriting fees but before expenses, are estimated to be $596.1 million .

("WCI"), to pay related costs and expenses related to the acquisition of WCI and/or for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment or repurchase of the Company's debt. Interest on the 4.125% Senior Notes is due semi-annually beginning July 15, 2017.

Although the guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several while they are in effect, (i) a subsidiary will cease to be a guarantor at any time when it is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least $75 million of debt of Lennar Corporation (the parent company), and (ii) a subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed of.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Operating And Reporting Segments | Operating and Reporting Segments As of and for the year ended November 30, 2016 , the Company’s operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. The Company’s reportable segments consist of: (1) Homebuilding East (2) Homebuilding Central (3) Homebuilding West (4) Lennar Financial Services (5) Rialto (6) Lennar Multifamily During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company evaluated all of its reportable segments and as the Houston operating division, which previously had been reported a separate reportable segment, did not meet the reportable criteria set forth in ASC 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280") , the Company aggregated this operating division into the Homebuilding Central reportable segment as this division exhibits similar economic characteristics, geography and product type as the other divisions in Homebuilding Central. In addition, during the first quarter of 2016, the Company made the decision to divide the Southeast Florida operating division into two operating segments to maximize operational efficiencies given the continued growth of the division. As a result of this change in management structure, the Company re-evaluated its reportable segments and determined that neither operating segment met the reportable criteria set forth in ASC 280. The Company aggregated these operating segments into the Homebuilding East reportable segment as these divisions exhibit similar economic characteristics, geography and product type as the other divisions in Homebuilding East. All prior year segment information has been restated to conform with the 2016 presentation. The changes in the reportable segments have no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented. Information about homebuilding activities in states which are not economically similar to other states in the same geographic area is grouped under "Homebuilding Other," which is not considered a reportable segment. Evaluation of segment performance is based primarily on operating earnings (loss) before income taxes. Operations of the Company’s homebuilding segments primarily include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes, as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through the Company’s unconsolidated entities. Operating earnings (loss) for the homebuilding segments consist of revenues generated from the sales of homes and land, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and other interest expense of the segment. The Company’s reportable homebuilding segments and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately, have homebuilding divisions located in: East: Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas West: California and Nevada Other: Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington Operations of the Lennar Financial Services segment include primarily mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of the Company’s homes and others. The Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Lennar Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Lennar Financial Services segment operates generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations as well as in other states. Operations of the Rialto segment include raising, investing and managing third-party capital, originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans as well as investing its own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and real estate related securities as well as providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto’s operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from gains from securitization transactions and interest income from the RMF business, interest income associated with portfolios of real estate loans acquired and other portfolios of real estate loans and assets acquired, asset management, due diligence and underwriting fees derived from the real estate investment funds managed by the Rialto segment, fees for sub-advisory services, other income (expense), net, and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the costs incurred by the segment for managing portfolios, costs related to RMF and other general and administrative expenses. Operations of the Lennar Multifamily segment include revenues generated from land sales, revenue from construction activities and management fees generated from joint ventures, and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the cost of land sold, expenses related to construction activities and general and administrative expenses. Each reportable segment follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements. Operational results of each segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

The facilities are non-recourse to the Company and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. Borrowings under the facilities and their prior year predecessors were $1.1 billion and $858.3 million at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage loans and receivables on loans sold to investors but not yet paid for with outstanding principal balances of $1.1 billion and $916.9 million at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

For the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , Rialto operating earnings included net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests of ($18.8) million , $4.8 million and ($22.5) million , respectively. The following is a detail of Rialto other income (expense), net: Years Ended November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Realized gains on REO sales, net $ 17,495 35,242 43,671 Unrealized losses on transfer of loans receivable to REO and impairments, net (23,087 ) (13,678 ) (26,107 ) REO and other expenses (54,008 ) (57,740 ) (58,067 ) Rental and other income (1) 19,750 48,430 43,898 Rialto other income (expense), net $ (39,850 ) 12,254 3,395 (1) Rental and other income for the year ended November 30, 2016 , included a $16.0 million write-off of uncollectible receivables related to a hospital, which was acquired through the resolution of one of Rialto's loans from a 2010 portfolio. The hospital is managed by a third-party management company. Loans Receivable The following table represents loans receivable, net by type: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Nonaccrual loans: FDIC and Bank Portfolios $ 47,122 88,694 Accrual loans 64,486 76,132 Loans receivable, net $ 111,608 164,826 The nonaccrual loan portfolios consist primarily of loans acquired at a discount. In 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies in partnership with the FDIC ("FDIC Portfolios"). The LLCs met the accounting definition of VIEs and since the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the LLCs. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs' performance through Rialto's management and servicer contracts. At November 30, 2016 and 2015 , these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $213.8 million and $355.2 million , respectively, and liabilities of $10.3 million and $11.3 million , respectively. In addition, in 2010 Rialto acquired 400 distressed residential and commercial real estate loans ("Bank Portfolios") and over 300 REO properties from three financial institutions. Based on the nature of these loans, the portfolios are managed by assessing the risks related to the likelihood of collection of payments from borrowers and guarantors, as well as monitoring the value of the underlying collateral. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , management classified all loans receivable within the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios as nonaccrual loans as forecasted principal and interest cannot be reasonably estimated, and therefore, the Company accounts for these assets in accordance with ASC 310-10, Receivables . As of November 30, 2016 , accrual loans included floating and fixed rate commercial property loans maturing between October 2017 and June 2018. Accrual loans as of November 30, 2015 included $17.1 million of convertible land loans that matured and were settled in July 2016 and $59.1 million of floating and fixed rate commercial property loans that were maturing between May 2016 and July 2018. The following tables represent nonaccrual loans in the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios accounted for under ASC 310-10 aggregated by collateral type: November 30, 2016 Recorded Investment (In thousands) Unpaid Principal Balance With Allowance Without Allowance Total Recorded Investment Land $ 86,076 30,157 2,273 32,430 Single family homes 17,314 2,835 2,348 5,183 Commercial properties 9,949 1,015 — 1,015 Other 50,676 259 8,235 8,494 Nonaccrual loans $ 164,015 34,266 12,856 47,122 November 30, 2015 Recorded Investment (In thousands) Unpaid Principal Balance With Allowance Without Allowance Total Recorded Investment Land $ 145,417 59,740 1,165 60,905 Single family homes 39,659 8,344 3,459 11,803 Commercial properties 13,458 1,368 1,085 2,453 Other 78,279 — 13,533 13,533 Nonaccrual loans $ 276,813 69,452 19,242 88,694 The average recorded investment in impaired loans totaled approximately $68 million and $109 million for the years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. In order to assess the risk associated with each risk category, management evaluates the forecasted cash flows and the value of the underlying collateral securing the loans receivable on a quarterly basis or when an event occurs that suggests a decline in the collateral’s fair value. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve established through provisions for loan losses charged against Rialto’s operating earnings. For nonaccrual loans, the risk relates to a decline in the value of the collateral securing the outstanding obligation. If the recorded investment in the nonaccrual loan exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recognized through an allowance for loan losses. The activity in the Company's allowance rollforward related to nonaccrual loans was as follows: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Allowance on nonaccrual loans, beginning of year $ 35,625 58,326 Provision for loan losses 18,229 10,363 Charge-offs (23,627 ) (33,064 ) Allowance on nonaccrual loans, end of year $ 30,227 35,625 For accrual loans an allowance is calculated based on a review of individual loans considered impaired. The analysis of impaired losses may be based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate, an observable market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral on collateral dependent loans. In determining the collectability of certain loans, management also considers the fair value of any underlying collateral. Based on management's assessment, no allowance for loan losses were recorded for Rialto's accrual loans as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Real Estate Owned The acquisition of properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are reported within the consolidated balance sheets as REO held-and-used, net and REO held-for-sale. The following tables present the activity in REO: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 REO - held-for-sale, beginning of year $ 183,052 190,535 Improvements 3,006 5,535 Sales (80,153 ) (120,053 ) Impairments and unrealized losses (25,153 ) (12,192 ) Transfers to/from held-and-used, net (1) 79,592 119,227 REO - held-for-sale, end of year $ 160,344 183,052 November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 REO - held-and-used, net, beginning of year $ 153,717 255,795 Additions 13,772 20,134 Improvements (1,100 ) 2,942 Impairments (1,819 ) (2,624 ) Depreciation (1,619 ) (2,339 ) Transfers to held-for-sale (1) (79,592 ) (119,227 ) Other — (964 ) REO - held-and-used, net, end of year $ 83,359 153,717 (1) During the years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Rialto segment transferred certain properties to/from REO held-and-used, net to REO held-for-sale as a result of changes made in the disposition strategy of the real estate assets. For the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded net gains (losses) of $1.3 million , ($1.3) million and ($6.8) million , respectively, from acquisitions of REO through foreclosure. These net gains (losses) are recorded in Rialto other income (expense), net. Rialto Mortgage Finance - loans held-for-sale During the year ended November 30, 2016 , RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $1.8 billion , of which $1.7 billion were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $81.2 million were recorded as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $1.9 billion of loans into 11 separate securitizations. During the year ended November 30, 2015 , RMF originated loans with a principal balance of $2.7 billion of which $2.6 billion were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $62.3 million were recorded as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $2.4 billion of loans into 12 separate securitizations. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , originated loans with an unpaid principal balance of $199.8 million and $151.8 million , respectively, were sold into a securitization trust but not settled and thus were included as receivables, net. Notes and Other Debts Payable The Rialto segment has $350 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.00% senior notes due 2018 (the " 7.00% Senior Notes"). Interest on the 7.00% Senior Notes is due semi-annually. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of the 7.00% Senior Notes was $348.7 million and $347.9 million , respectively. Under the indenture, Rialto is subject to certain covenants limiting, among other things, Rialto’s ability to incur indebtedness, to make investments, to make distributions to, or enter into transactions with, Lennar or to create liens, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. Rialto also has quarterly and annual reporting requirements, similar to an SEC registrant, to holders of the 7.00% Senior Notes. The Company believes Rialto was in compliance with its debt covenants at November 30, 2016 . At November 30, 2016 , Rialto warehouse facilities were as follows: (In thousands) Maximum Aggregate Commitment 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures April 2017 (1)(2) $ 500,000 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures January 2017 (1) 250,000 Warehouse repurchase facility that matures December 2017 (1) 200,000 Warehouse repurchase facility that matures August 2018 (two - one year extensions) (3) 100,000 Totals $ 1,050,000 (1) RMF uses these facilities to finance its loan origination and securitization activities. (2) The warehouse repurchase facility has the option of an additional six month extension. (3) Rialto uses this warehouse repurchase facility to finance the origination of floating rate accrual loans which are reported as accrual loans within loans receivable, net. Borrowings under this facility were $43.3 million and $36.3 million as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's loan originations and securitization activities were $180.2 million and $317.1 million as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and were secured by a 75% interest in the originated commercial loans financed. The facilities require immediate repayment of the 75% interest in the secured commercial loans when the loans are sold in a securitization and the proceeds are collected. These warehouse repurchase facilities are non-recourse to the Company and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. In November 2016, Rialto paid the remaining outstanding principal amount of $30.3 million related to a $124 million senior unsecured note provided by one of the selling institutions in the Bank Portfolios and REO properties transaction. In 2014, Rialto issued two notes with a principal amount of $94.7 million through structured note offerings (the "Structured Notes") at a price of 100% and 99.5% , respectively, with annual coupon rates of 2.85% . and 5.00% , respectively, and collateralized by certain assets originally acquired in the Bank Portfolios. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the remaining outstanding principal amount, net of debt issuance costs, related to the Structured Notes was $23.9 million and $31.3 million , respectively and the estimated final payment date is December 15, 2017 . Investments Generally, all of Rialto's investments in funds have the attributes of an investment company in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies , as amended by ASU 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements , the attributes of which are different from the attributes that would cause a company to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the funds in which Rialto has investments in are recorded at fair value with increases/decreases in fair value recorded in their respective statements of operations and the Company’s share recorded in Rialto equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities in the Company's statement of operations.

During the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , Rialto received $10.1 million , $20.0 million and $34.7 million , respectively, of advance distributions with regard to Rialto's carried interests in its real estate funds in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to Rialto's carried interests in these funds. These advance distributions are not subject to clawbacks and therefore are included in Rialto's revenues. During 2015, Rialto adopted a Carried Interest Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), under which participating employees in the aggregate may receive up to 40% of the equity units of a limited liability company (a "Carried Interest Entity") that is entitled to distributions made by a fund or other investment vehicle (a "Fund") managed by a subsidiary of Rialto. As such, those employees receiving equity units in a Carried Interest Entity may benefit from distributions made by a Fund to the extent the Carried Interest Entity makes distributions to its equity holders. The units issued to employees are equity awards and are subject to vesting schedules and forfeiture or repurchase provisions in the case of a termination of employment.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Operating And Reporting Segments | Operating and Reporting Segments As of and for the year ended November 30, 2016 , the Company’s operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. The Company’s reportable segments consist of: (1) Homebuilding East (2) Homebuilding Central (3) Homebuilding West (4) Lennar Financial Services (5) Rialto (6) Lennar Multifamily During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company evaluated all of its reportable segments and as the Houston operating division, which previously had been reported a separate reportable segment, did not meet the reportable criteria set forth in ASC 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280") , the Company aggregated this operating division into the Homebuilding Central reportable segment as this division exhibits similar economic characteristics, geography and product type as the other divisions in Homebuilding Central. In addition, during the first quarter of 2016, the Company made the decision to divide the Southeast Florida operating division into two operating segments to maximize operational efficiencies given the continued growth of the division. As a result of this change in management structure, the Company re-evaluated its reportable segments and determined that neither operating segment met the reportable criteria set forth in ASC 280. The Company aggregated these operating segments into the Homebuilding East reportable segment as these divisions exhibit similar economic characteristics, geography and product type as the other divisions in Homebuilding East. All prior year segment information has been restated to conform with the 2016 presentation. The changes in the reportable segments have no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented. Information about homebuilding activities in states which are not economically similar to other states in the same geographic area is grouped under "Homebuilding Other," which is not considered a reportable segment. Evaluation of segment performance is based primarily on operating earnings (loss) before income taxes. Operations of the Company’s homebuilding segments primarily include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes, as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through the Company’s unconsolidated entities. Operating earnings (loss) for the homebuilding segments consist of revenues generated from the sales of homes and land, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and other interest expense of the segment. The Company’s reportable homebuilding segments and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately, have homebuilding divisions located in: East: Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas West: California and Nevada Other: Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington Operations of the Lennar Financial Services segment include primarily mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of the Company’s homes and others. The Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Lennar Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Lennar Financial Services segment operates generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations as well as in other states. Operations of the Rialto segment include raising, investing and managing third-party capital, originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans as well as investing its own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and real estate related securities as well as providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto’s operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from gains from securitization transactions and interest income from the RMF business, interest income associated with portfolios of real estate loans acquired and other portfolios of real estate loans and assets acquired, asset management, due diligence and underwriting fees derived from the real estate investment funds managed by the Rialto segment, fees for sub-advisory services, other income (expense), net, and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the costs incurred by the segment for managing portfolios, costs related to RMF and other general and administrative expenses. Operations of the Lennar Multifamily segment include revenues generated from land sales, revenue from construction activities and management fees generated from joint ventures, and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the cost of land sold, expenses related to construction activities and general and administrative expenses.

The hospital is managed by a third-party management company. Loans Receivable The following table represents loans receivable, net by type: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Nonaccrual loans: FDIC and Bank Portfolios $ 47,122 88,694 Accrual loans 64,486 76,132 Loans receivable, net $ 111,608 164,826 The nonaccrual loan portfolios consist primarily of loans acquired at a discount. In 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies in partnership with the FDIC ("FDIC Portfolios"). The LLCs met the accounting definition of VIEs and since the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the LLCs. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs' performance through Rialto's management and servicer contracts. At November 30, 2016 and 2015 , these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $213.8 million and $355.2 million , respectively, and liabilities of $10.3 million and $11.3 million , respectively. In addition, in 2010 Rialto acquired 400 distressed residential and commercial real estate loans ("Bank Portfolios") and over 300 REO properties from three financial institutions. Based on the nature of these loans, the portfolios are managed by assessing the risks related to the likelihood of collection of payments from borrowers and guarantors, as well as monitoring the value of the underlying collateral. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , management classified all loans receivable within the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios as nonaccrual loans as forecasted principal and interest cannot be reasonably estimated, and therefore, the Company accounts for these assets in accordance with ASC 310-10, Receivables . As of November 30, 2016 , accrual loans included floating and fixed rate commercial property loans maturing between October 2017 and June 2018. Accrual loans as of November 30, 2015 included $17.1 million of convertible land loans that matured and were settled in July 2016 and $59.1 million of floating and fixed rate commercial property loans that were maturing between May 2016 and July 2018. The following tables represent nonaccrual loans in the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios accounted for under ASC 310-10 aggregated by collateral type: November 30, 2016 Recorded Investment (In thousands) Unpaid Principal Balance With Allowance Without Allowance Total Recorded Investment Land $ 86,076 30,157 2,273 32,430 Single family homes 17,314 2,835 2,348 5,183 Commercial properties 9,949 1,015 — 1,015 Other 50,676 259 8,235 8,494 Nonaccrual loans $ 164,015 34,266 12,856 47,122 November 30, 2015 Recorded Investment (In thousands) Unpaid Principal Balance With Allowance Without Allowance Total Recorded Investment Land $ 145,417 59,740 1,165 60,905 Single family homes 39,659 8,344 3,459 11,803 Commercial properties 13,458 1,368 1,085 2,453 Other 78,279 — 13,533 13,533 Nonaccrual loans $ 276,813 69,452 19,242 88,694 The average recorded investment in impaired loans totaled approximately $68 million and $109 million for the years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. In order to assess the risk associated with each risk category, management evaluates the forecasted cash flows and the value of the underlying collateral securing the loans receivable on a quarterly basis or when an event occurs that suggests a decline in the collateral’s fair value. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve established through provisions for loan losses charged against Rialto’s operating earnings. For nonaccrual loans, the risk relates to a decline in the value of the collateral securing the outstanding obligation. If the recorded investment in the nonaccrual loan exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recognized through an allowance for loan losses. The activity in the Company's allowance rollforward related to nonaccrual loans was as follows: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Allowance on nonaccrual loans, beginning of year $ 35,625 58,326 Provision for loan losses 18,229 10,363 Charge-offs (23,627 ) (33,064 ) Allowance on nonaccrual loans, end of year $ 30,227 35,625 For accrual loans an allowance is calculated based on a review of individual loans considered impaired. The analysis of impaired losses may be based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate, an observable market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral on collateral dependent loans. In determining the collectability of certain loans, management also considers the fair value of any underlying collateral. Based on management's assessment, no allowance for loan losses were recorded for Rialto's accrual loans as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Real Estate Owned The acquisition of properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are reported within the consolidated balance sheets as REO held-and-used, net and REO held-for-sale.

Notes and Other Debts Payable The Rialto segment has $350 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.00% senior notes due 2018 (the " 7.00% Senior Notes"). Interest on the 7.00% Senior Notes is due semi-annually. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of the 7.00% Senior Notes was $348.7 million and $347.9 million , respectively. Under the indenture, Rialto is subject to certain covenants limiting, among other things, Rialto’s ability to incur indebtedness, to make investments, to make distributions to, or enter into transactions with, Lennar or to create liens, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. Rialto also has quarterly and annual reporting requirements, similar to an SEC registrant, to holders of the 7.00% Senior Notes. The Company believes Rialto was in compliance with its debt covenants at November 30, 2016 . At November 30, 2016 , Rialto warehouse facilities were as follows: (In thousands) Maximum Aggregate Commitment 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures April 2017 (1)(2) $ 500,000 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures January 2017 (1) 250,000 Warehouse repurchase facility that matures December 2017 (1) 200,000 Warehouse repurchase facility that matures August 2018 (two - one year extensions) (3) 100,000 Totals $ 1,050,000 (1) RMF uses these facilities to finance its loan origination and securitization activities.

Borrowings under this facility were $43.3 million and $36.3 million as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's loan originations and securitization activities were $180.2 million and $317.1 million as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and were secured by a 75% interest in the originated commercial loans financed. The facilities require immediate repayment of the 75% interest in the secured commercial loans when the loans are sold in a securitization and the proceeds are collected. These warehouse repurchase facilities are non-recourse to the Company and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. In November 2016, Rialto paid the remaining outstanding principal amount of $30.3 million related to a $124 million senior unsecured note provided by one of the selling institutions in the Bank Portfolios and REO properties transaction.

During the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , Rialto received $10.1 million , $20.0 million and $34.7 million , respectively, of advance distributions with regard to Rialto's carried interests in its real estate funds in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to Rialto's carried interests in these funds. These advance distributions are not subject to clawbacks and therefore are included in Rialto's revenues. During 2015, Rialto adopted a Carried Interest Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), under which participating employees in the aggregate may receive up to 40% of the equity units of a limited liability company (a "Carried Interest Entity") that is entitled to distributions made by a fund or other investment vehicle (a "Fund") managed by a subsidiary of Rialto. As such, those employees receiving equity units in a Carried Interest Entity may benefit from distributions made by a Fund to the extent the Carried Interest Entity makes distributions to its equity holders. The units issued to employees are equity awards and are subject to vesting schedules and forfeiture or repurchase provisions in the case of a termination of employment.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Operating And Reporting Segments | Operating and Reporting Segments As of and for the year ended November 30, 2016 , the Company’s operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments, based primarily upon similar economic characteristics, geography and product type. The Company’s reportable segments consist of: (1) Homebuilding East (2) Homebuilding Central (3) Homebuilding West (4) Lennar Financial Services (5) Rialto (6) Lennar Multifamily During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company evaluated all of its reportable segments and as the Houston operating division, which previously had been reported a separate reportable segment, did not meet the reportable criteria set forth in ASC 280, Segment Reporting ("ASC 280") , the Company aggregated this operating division into the Homebuilding Central reportable segment as this division exhibits similar economic characteristics, geography and product type as the other divisions in Homebuilding Central. In addition, during the first quarter of 2016, the Company made the decision to divide the Southeast Florida operating division into two operating segments to maximize operational efficiencies given the continued growth of the division. As a result of this change in management structure, the Company re-evaluated its reportable segments and determined that neither operating segment met the reportable criteria set forth in ASC 280. The Company aggregated these operating segments into the Homebuilding East reportable segment as these divisions exhibit similar economic characteristics, geography and product type as the other divisions in Homebuilding East. All prior year segment information has been restated to conform with the 2016 presentation. The changes in the reportable segments have no effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented. Information about homebuilding activities in states which are not economically similar to other states in the same geographic area is grouped under "Homebuilding Other," which is not considered a reportable segment. Evaluation of segment performance is based primarily on operating earnings (loss) before income taxes. Operations of the Company’s homebuilding segments primarily include the construction and sale of single-family attached and detached homes, as well as the purchase, development and sale of residential land directly and through the Company’s unconsolidated entities. Operating earnings (loss) for the homebuilding segments consist of revenues generated from the sales of homes and land, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and other interest expense of the segment. The Company’s reportable homebuilding segments and all other homebuilding operations not required to be reported separately, have homebuilding divisions located in: East: Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia Central: Arizona, Colorado and Texas West: California and Nevada Other: Illinois, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington Operations of the Lennar Financial Services segment include primarily mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services for both buyers of the Company’s homes and others. The Lennar Financial Services segment sells substantially all of the loans it originates within a short period in the secondary mortgage market, the majority of which are sold on a servicing released, non-recourse basis. After the loans are sold, the Company retains potential liability for possible claims by purchasers that it breached certain limited industry-standard representations and warranties in the loan sale agreements. Lennar Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title insurance and closing services, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Lennar Financial Services segment operates generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations as well as in other states. Operations of the Rialto segment include raising, investing and managing third-party capital, originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans as well as investing its own capital in real estate related mortgage loans, properties and related securities. Rialto utilizes its vertically-integrated investment and operating platform to underwrite, diligence, acquire, manage, workout and add value to diverse portfolios of real estate loans, properties and real estate related securities as well as providing strategic real estate capital. Rialto’s operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from gains from securitization transactions and interest income from the RMF business, interest income associated with portfolios of real estate loans acquired and other portfolios of real estate loans and assets acquired, asset management, due diligence and underwriting fees derived from the real estate investment funds managed by the Rialto segment, fees for sub-advisory services, other income (expense), net, and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the costs incurred by the segment for managing portfolios, costs related to RMF and other general and administrative expenses. Operations of the Lennar Multifamily segment include revenues generated from land sales, revenue from construction activities and management fees generated from joint ventures, and equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities, less the cost of land sold, expenses related to construction activities and general and administrative expenses. Each reportable segment follows the same accounting policies described in Note 1—"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements. Operational results of each segment are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred had the segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

The hospital is managed by a third-party management company. Loans Receivable The following table represents loans receivable, net by type: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Nonaccrual loans: FDIC and Bank Portfolios $ 47,122 88,694 Accrual loans 64,486 76,132 Loans receivable, net $ 111,608 164,826 The nonaccrual loan portfolios consist primarily of loans acquired at a discount. In 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies in partnership with the FDIC ("FDIC Portfolios"). The LLCs met the accounting definition of VIEs and since the Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidated the LLCs. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact the LLCs' performance through Rialto's management and servicer contracts. At November 30, 2016 and 2015 , these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets of $213.8 million and $355.2 million , respectively, and liabilities of $10.3 million and $11.3 million , respectively. In addition, in 2010 Rialto acquired 400 distressed residential and commercial real estate loans ("Bank Portfolios") and over 300 REO properties from three financial institutions. Based on the nature of these loans, the portfolios are managed by assessing the risks related to the likelihood of collection of payments from borrowers and guarantors, as well as monitoring the value of the underlying collateral. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , management classified all loans receivable within the FDIC Portfolios and Bank Portfolios as nonaccrual loans as forecasted principal and interest cannot be reasonably estimated, and therefore, the Company accounts for these assets in accordance with ASC 310-10, Receivables . As of November 30, 2016 , accrual loans included floating and fixed rate commercial property loans maturing between October 2017 and June 2018. Accrual loans as of November 30, 2015 included $17.1 million of convertible land loans that matured and were settled in July 2016 and $59.1 million of floating and fixed rate commercial property loans that were maturing between May 2016 and July 2018.

In order to assess the risk associated with each risk category, management evaluates the forecasted cash flows and the value of the underlying collateral securing the loans receivable on a quarterly basis or when an event occurs that suggests a decline in the collateral’s fair value. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve established through provisions for loan losses charged against Rialto’s operating earnings. For nonaccrual loans, the risk relates to a decline in the value of the collateral securing the outstanding obligation. If the recorded investment in the nonaccrual loan exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recognized through an allowance for loan losses. The activity in the Company's allowance rollforward related to nonaccrual loans was as follows: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Allowance on nonaccrual loans, beginning of year $ 35,625 58,326 Provision for loan losses 18,229 10,363 Charge-offs (23,627 ) (33,064 ) Allowance on nonaccrual loans, end of year $ 30,227 35,625 For accrual loans an allowance is calculated based on a review of individual loans considered impaired. The analysis of impaired losses may be based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate, an observable market price or the fair value of the underlying collateral on collateral dependent loans. In determining the collectability of certain loans, management also considers the fair value of any underlying collateral. Based on management's assessment, no allowance for loan losses were recorded for Rialto's accrual loans as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Real Estate Owned The acquisition of properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are reported within the consolidated balance sheets as REO held-and-used, net and REO held-for-sale. The following tables present the activity in REO: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 REO - held-for-sale, beginning of year $ 183,052 190,535 Improvements 3,006 5,535 Sales (80,153 ) (120,053 ) Impairments and unrealized losses (25,153 ) (12,192 ) Transfers to/from held-and-used, net (1) 79,592 119,227 REO - held-for-sale, end of year $ 160,344 183,052 November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 REO - held-and-used, net, beginning of year $ 153,717 255,795 Additions 13,772 20,134 Improvements (1,100 ) 2,942 Impairments (1,819 ) (2,624 ) Depreciation (1,619 ) (2,339 ) Transfers to held-for-sale (1) (79,592 ) (119,227 ) Other — (964 ) REO - held-and-used, net, end of year $ 83,359 153,717 (1) During the years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Rialto segment transferred certain properties to/from REO held-and-used, net to REO held-for-sale as a result of changes made in the disposition strategy of the real estate assets. For the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded net gains (losses) of $1.3 million , ($1.3) million and ($6.8) million , respectively, from acquisitions of REO through foreclosure. These net gains (losses) are recorded in Rialto other income (expense), net. Rialto Mortgage Finance - loans held-for-sale During the year ended November 30, 2016 , RMF originated loans with a total principal balance of $1.8 billion , of which $1.7 billion were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $81.2 million were recorded as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $1.9 billion of loans into 11 separate securitizations. During the year ended November 30, 2015 , RMF originated loans with a principal balance of $2.7 billion of which $2.6 billion were recorded as loans held-for-sale and $62.3 million were recorded as accrual loans within loans receivable, net, and sold $2.4 billion of loans into 12 separate securitizations. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , originated loans with an unpaid principal balance of $199.8 million and $151.8 million , respectively, were sold into a securitization trust but not settled and thus were included as receivables, net. Notes and Other Debts Payable The Rialto segment has $350 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.00% senior notes due 2018 (the " 7.00% Senior Notes"). Interest on the 7.00% Senior Notes is due semi-annually. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the carrying amount, net of debt issuance costs, of the 7.00% Senior Notes was $348.7 million and $347.9 million , respectively. Under the indenture, Rialto is subject to certain covenants limiting, among other things, Rialto’s ability to incur indebtedness, to make investments, to make distributions to, or enter into transactions with, Lennar or to create liens, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. Rialto also has quarterly and annual reporting requirements, similar to an SEC registrant, to holders of the 7.00% Senior Notes. The Company believes Rialto was in compliance with its debt covenants at November 30, 2016 . At November 30, 2016 , Rialto warehouse facilities were as follows: (In thousands) Maximum Aggregate Commitment 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures April 2017 (1)(2) $ 500,000 364-day warehouse repurchase facility that matures January 2017 (1) 250,000 Warehouse repurchase facility that matures December 2017 (1) 200,000 Warehouse repurchase facility that matures August 2018 (two - one year extensions) (3) 100,000 Totals $ 1,050,000 (1) RMF uses these facilities to finance its loan origination and securitization activities. (2) The warehouse repurchase facility has the option of an additional six month extension. (3) Rialto uses this warehouse repurchase facility to finance the origination of floating rate accrual loans which are reported as accrual loans within loans receivable, net. Borrowings under this facility were $43.3 million and $36.3 million as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Borrowings under the facilities that finance RMF's loan originations and securitization activities were $180.2 million and $317.1 million as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and were secured by a 75% interest in the originated commercial loans financed. The facilities require immediate repayment of the 75% interest in the secured commercial loans when the loans are sold in a securitization and the proceeds are collected. These warehouse repurchase facilities are non-recourse to the Company and are expected to be renewed or replaced with other facilities when they mature. In November 2016, Rialto paid the remaining outstanding principal amount of $30.3 million related to a $124 million senior unsecured note provided by one of the selling institutions in the Bank Portfolios and REO properties transaction. In 2014, Rialto issued two notes with a principal amount of $94.7 million through structured note offerings (the "Structured Notes") at a price of 100% and 99.5% , respectively, with annual coupon rates of 2.85% . and 5.00% , respectively, and collateralized by certain assets originally acquired in the Bank Portfolios. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the remaining outstanding principal amount, net of debt issuance costs, related to the Structured Notes was $23.9 million and $31.3 million , respectively and the estimated final payment date is December 15, 2017 . Investments Generally, all of Rialto's investments in funds have the attributes of an investment company in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies , as amended by ASU 2013-08, Financial Services - Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements , the attributes of which are different from the attributes that would cause a company to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the funds in which Rialto has investments in are recorded at fair value with increases/decreases in fair value recorded in their respective statements of operations and the Company’s share recorded in Rialto equity in earnings from unconsolidated entities in the Company's statement of operations.

During the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , Rialto received $10.1 million , $20.0 million and $34.7 million , respectively, of advance distributions with regard to Rialto's carried interests in its real estate funds in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income to Rialto's carried interests in these funds. These advance distributions are not subject to clawbacks and therefore are included in Rialto's revenues. During 2015, Rialto adopted a Carried Interest Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), under which participating employees in the aggregate may receive up to 40% of the equity units of a limited liability company (a "Carried Interest Entity") that is entitled to distributions made by a fund or other investment vehicle (a "Fund") managed by a subsidiary of Rialto. As such, those employees receiving equity units in a Carried Interest Entity may benefit from distributions made by a Fund to the extent the Carried Interest Entity makes distributions to its equity holders. The units issued to employees are equity awards and are subject to vesting schedules and forfeiture or repurchase provisions in the case of a termination of employment.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The tax effects of significant temporary differences that give rise to the net deferred tax assets were as follows: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Deferred tax assets: Inventory valuation adjustments $ 56,733 58,902 Reserves and accruals 198,270 197,980 Net operating loss carryforwards 92,362 122,573 Rialto investments in partnerships 11,352 — Capitalized expenses 106,270 91,873 Investments in unconsolidated entities 42,796 10,407 Other assets 57,890 45,725 Total deferred tax assets 565,673 527,460 Valuation allowance (5,773 ) (5,945 ) Total deferred tax assets after valuation allowance 559,900 521,515 Deferred tax liabilities: Capitalized expenses 30,632 32,954 Deferred income 226,195 104,270 Convertible debt basis difference — 229 Rialto investments in partnerships — 11,055 Other 25,675 32,282 Total deferred tax liabilities 282,502 180,790 Net deferred tax assets $ 277,398 340,725 The detail of the Company's net deferred tax assets were as follows: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Net deferred tax assets (liabilities): (1) Lennar Homebuilding $ 249,714 327,645 Rialto 26,547 10,518 Lennar Financial Services 5,919 2,562 Lennar Multifamily (4,782 ) — Net deferred tax assets $ 277,398 340,725 (1) Net deferred tax assets and net deferred tax liabilities detailed above are included within other assets and other liabilities in the respective segments. A reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance is required if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed each reporting period by the Company based on the consideration of all available positive and negative evidence using a "more-likely-than-not" standard with respect to whether deferred tax assets will be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, actual earnings, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with loss carryforwards not expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the net deferred tax assets included a valuation allowance of $5.8 million and $5.9 million , respectively, primarily related to state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards that are not more likely than not to be utilized due to an inability to carry back these losses in most states and short carryforward periods that exist in certain states. During the years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company reversed $0.2 million and $2.1 million , respectively, of valuation allowance primarily due to the utilization of state net operating losses. At November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had federal tax effected NOL carryforwards totaling $1.8 million and $1.9 million , respectively, that may be carried forward up to 20 years to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in 2029. At November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had state tax effected NOL carryforwards totaling $90.6 million and $120.7 million , respectively, that may be carried forward from 5 to 20 years, depending on the tax jurisdiction, with losses expiring between 2017 and 2035 . The following table summarizes the changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits: Years Ended November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Gross unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year $ 12,285 7,257 10,459 Increase due to tax positions taken during prior period (1) — 5,028 — Decreases due to settlements with taxing authorities (2) — — (3,202 ) Gross unrecognized tax benefits, end of year $ 12,285 12,285 7,257 (1) Increased the Company's effective tax rate for the year ended November 30, 2015 from 32.30% to 32.72% due to state audits. (2) Decreased the Company's effective tax rate for the year November 30, 2014 from 35.13% to 34.80% . If the Company were to recognize its gross unrecognized tax benefits as of November 30, 2016 , $8.0 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to increase or decrease by a material amount within the following twelve months. The following summarizes the changes in interest and penalties accrued with respect to gross unrecognized tax benefits: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Accrued interest and penalties, beginning of the year $ 65,145 31,469 Accrual of interest and penalties (primarily related to federal and state audits) 3,251 33,841 Reduction of interest and penalties (1) (22,423 ) (165 ) Accrued interest and penalties, end of the year $ 45,973 65,145 (1) The Company's accrual for interest and penalties was reduced during the year ended November 30, 2016 primarily due to a settlement with the IRS. |

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosure | Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , using available market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies might have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The table excludes cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, net, and accounts payable, all of which had fair values approximating their carrying amounts due to the short maturities and liquidity of these instruments.

The fair value for investments held-to-maturity is based on discounted cash flows. For notes and other debts payable, the fair value is calculated based on discounted cash flows using the Company’s weighted average borrowing rate and for the warehouse repurchase financing agreements fair values approximate their carrying value due to their short-term maturities. Lennar Financial Services —The fair values above are based on quoted market prices, if available. The fair values for instruments that do not have quoted market prices are estimated by the Company on the basis of discounted cash flows or other financial information. For notes and other debts payable, the fair values approximate their carrying value due to variable interest pricing terms and the short-term nature of the borrowings. Lennar Homebuilding —For senior notes and other debts payable, the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings is primarily based on quoted market prices and the fair value of variable-rate borrowings is based on expected future cash flows calculated using current market forward rates. Fair Value Measurements GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value summarized as follows: Level 1: Fair value determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2: Fair value determined using significant other observable inputs. Level 3: Fair value determined using significant unobservable inputs. The Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below: (In thousands) Fair Value Hierarchy Fair Value at November 30, 2016 Fair Value at November 30, 2015 Rialto Financial Assets: Loans held-for-sale (1) Level 3 $ 126,947 316,275 Credit default swaps (2) Level 2 $ 2,863 6,153 Rialto Financial Liabilities: Interest rate swaps and swap futures (3) Level 1 $ 6 978 Lennar Financial Services Assets: Loans held-for-sale (4) Level 2 $ 939,405 843,252 Investments available-for-sale Level 1 $ 53,570 42,827 Mortgage loan commitments Level 2 $ 7,437 13,060 Forward contracts Level 2 $ 26,467 531 Mortgage servicing rights Level 3 $ 23,930 16,770 (1) The aggregate fair value of Rialto loans held-for-sale of $126.9 million at November 30, 2016 is below their aggregate principal balance of $127.8 million by $0.9 million . The aggregate fair value of Rialto loans held-for-sale of $316.3 million at November 30, 2015 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $314.3 million by $2.0 million . (2) Rialto's credit default swaps are included within Rialto's other assets. (3) Rialto's interest rate swaps and swap futures are included within Rialto's other liabilities. (4) The aggregate fair value of Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale of $939.4 million at November 30, 2016 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $931.0 million by $8.4 million . The aggregate fair value of Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale of $843.3 million at November 30, 2015 exceeds their aggregate principal balance of $815.0 million by $28.2 million . The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments have been determined by using available market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies might have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating fair values: Rialto loans held-for-sale — The fair value of loans held-for-sale is calculated from model-based techniques that use discounted cash flow assumptions and the Company’s own estimates of CMBS spreads, market interest rate movements and the underlying loan credit quality. Loan values are calculated by allocating the change in value of an assumed CMBS capital structure to each loan. The value of an assumed CMBS capital structure is calculated, generally, by discounting the cash flows associated with each CMBS class at market interest rates and at the Company’s own estimate of CMBS spreads. The Company estimates CMBS spreads by observing the pricing of recent CMBS offerings, secondary CMBS markets, changes in the CMBX index, and general capital and commercial real estate market conditions. Considerations in estimating CMBS spreads include comparing the Company’s current loan portfolio with comparable CMBS offerings containing loans with similar duration, credit quality and collateral composition. These methods use unobservable inputs in estimating a discount rate that is used to assign a value to each loan. While the cash payments on the loans are contractual, the discount rate used and assumptions regarding the relative size of each class in the CMBS capital structure can significantly impact the valuation. Therefore, the estimates used could differ materially from the fair value determined when the loans are sold to a securitization trust. Rialto interest rate swaps and swap futures — The fair value of interest rate swaps (derivatives) is based on observable values for underlying interest rates and market determined risk premiums. The fair value of interest rate swap futures (derivatives) is based on quoted market prices for identical investments traded in active markets. Rialto credit default swaps — The fair value of credit default swaps (derivatives) is based on quoted market prices for similar investments traded in active markets. Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale — Fair value is based on independent quoted market prices, where available, or the prices for other mortgage whole loans with similar characteristics. Management believes carrying loans held-for-sale at fair value improves financial reporting by mitigating volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring the fair value of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. In addition, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue upon entering into an interest rate lock loan commitment with a borrower. The fair value of these servicing rights is included in Lennar Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 . Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics. Lennar Financial Services investments available-for-sale — The fair value of these investments is based on the quoted market prices for similar financial instruments. Lennar Financial Services mortgage loan commitments — Fair value of commitments to originate loans is based upon the difference between the current value of similar loans and the price at which the Lennar Financial Services segment has committed to originate the loans. The fair value of commitments to sell loan contracts is the estimated amount that the Lennar Financial Services segment would receive or pay to terminate the commitments at the reporting date based on market prices for similar financial instruments. In addition, the Company recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue upon entering into an interest rate lock loan commitment with a borrower. The fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics. The fair value of the mortgage loan commitments and related servicing rights is included in Lennar Financial Services’ other assets. Lennar Financial Services forward contracts — Fair value is based on quoted market prices for similar financial instruments. The fair value of forward contracts is included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other assets as of November 30, 2016 and November 30, 2015 . The Lennar Financial Services segment uses mandatory mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") forward commitments, option contracts and investor commitments to hedge its mortgage-related interest rate exposure. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. Credit risk associated with MBS forward commitments, option contracts and loan sales transactions is managed by limiting the Company’s counterparties to investment banks, federally regulated bank affiliates and other investors meeting the Company’s credit standards. The segment’s risk, in the event of default by the purchaser, is the difference between the contract price and fair value of the MBS forward commitments and option contracts. At November 30, 2016 , the segment had open commitments amounting to $1.2 billion to sell MBS with varying settlement dates through February 2017. Lennar Financial Services mortgage servicing rights — Lennar Financial Services records the value of mortgage servicing rights when it sells loans on a servicing-retained basis or through the acquisition or assumption of the right to service a financial asset. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated using third-party valuations. The key assumptions, which are generally unobservable inputs, used in the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights include mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and delinquency rates. As of November 30, 2016 , the key assumptions used in determining the fair value include a 12.9% mortgage prepayment rate, a 12.4% discount rate and a 7.0% delinquency rate. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is included in the Lennar Financial Services segment's other assets. The changes in fair values for Level 1 and Level 2 financial instruments measured on a recurring basis are shown below by financial instrument and financial statement line item: Years Ended November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 2014 Changes in fair value included in Lennar Financial Services revenues: Loans held-for-sale $ (19,865 ) (4,137 ) 17,124 Mortgage loan commitments $ (5,623 ) 373 5,352 Forward contracts $ 25,936 8,107 (9,020 ) Investments available-for-sale $ 53 26 — Changes in fair value included in Rialto revenues: Financial Assets: Credit default swaps $ (2,063 ) 477 (288 ) Financial Liabilities: Interest rate swaps and swap futures $ 972 398 (1,346 ) Changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income, net of tax: Lennar Financial Services investments available-for-sale $ (295 ) (65 ) 130 Interest on Lennar Financial Services loans held-for-sale and Rialto loans held-for-sale measured at fair value is calculated based on the interest rate of the loan and recorded as revenues in the Lennar Financial Services’ statement of operations and Rialto's statement of operations, respectively.

Consolidation Of Variable Interest Entities | Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities The Company evaluated the joint venture agreements of its joint ventures that were formed or that had reconsideration events during the year ended November 30, 2016 . Based on the Company’s evaluation, during the year ended November 30, 2016 , the Company consolidated entities that had total combined assets of $122.1 million and liabilities of $96.4 million . During the year ended November 30, 2016 , there were no VIEs that were deconsolidated. The Company’s recorded investments in unconsolidated entities were as follows: November 30, (In thousands) 2016 2015 Lennar Homebuilding $ 811,723 741,551 Rialto $ 245,741 224,869 Lennar Multifamily $ 318,559 250,876 Consolidated VIEs As of November 30, 2016 , the carrying amount of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated was $536.3 million and $126.4 million , respectively. As of November 30, 2015 , the carrying amount of the VIEs’ assets and non-recourse liabilities that consolidated was $652.3 million and $84.4 million , respectively. Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, the VIEs, not the Company. A VIE’s assets can only be used to settle obligations of that VIE. The VIEs are not guarantors of the Company’s senior notes and other debts payable. The assets held by a VIE usually are collateral for that VIE’s debt. The Company and other partners do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to a VIE unless the Company and/or the other partner(s) have entered into debt guarantees with the VIE’s banks. Other than debt guarantee agreements with a VIE’s banks, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to a VIE. While the Company has option contracts to purchase land from certain of its VIEs, the Company is not required to purchase the assets and could walk away from the contracts. Unconsolidated VIEs At November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Company’s recorded investments in VIEs that are unconsolidated and its estimated maximum exposure to loss were as follows: November 30, 2016 (In thousands) Investments in Lennar’s Maximum Exposure to Loss Lennar Homebuilding (1) $ 120,940 164,804 Rialto (2) 71,260 71,260 Lennar Multifamily (3) 240,928 549,093 $ 433,128 785,157 November 30, 2015 (In thousands) Investments in Unconsolidated VIEs Lennar’s Maximum Exposure to Loss Lennar Homebuilding (1) $ 102,706 111,215 Rialto (2) 25,625 25,625 Lennar Multifamily (3) 177,359 586,842 $ 305,690 723,682 (1) At November 30, 2016 , the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to a $43.4 million repayment guarantee of an unconsolidated entity's debt. At November 30, 2015 , the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Homebuilding’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to an $8.3 million remaining commitment to fund an unconsolidated entity for further expenses up until the unconsolidated entity obtained permanent financing. (2) At both November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the maximum recourse exposure to loss of Rialto’s investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated entities VIEs. At November 30, 2016 and 2015 , investments in unconsolidated VIEs and Lennar’s maximum exposure to loss included $71.3 million and $25.6 million , respectively, related to Rialto’s investments held-to-maturity. (3) As of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the remaining equity commitment of $288.2 million and $378.3 million , respectively, to fund the Venture for future expenditures related to the construction and development of its projects was included in Lennar's maximum exposure to loss. In addition, at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the maximum exposure to loss of Lennar Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to $19.7 million and $30.0 million , respectively, of letters of credit outstanding for certain of the unconsolidated VIEs that could be drawn upon in the event of default under their debt agreements. While these entities are VIEs, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance is generally shared and the Company and its partners are not de-facto agents. While the Company generally manages the day-to-day operations of the VIEs, each of these VIEs has an executive committee made up of representatives from each partner. The members of the executive committee have equal votes and major decisions require unanimous consent and approval from all members. The Company does not have the unilateral ability to exercise participating voting rights without partner consent. As of November 30, 2016 , the Company and other partners do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to the VIEs, except for $288.2 million remaining equity commitment to fund the Venture for future expenditures related to the construction and development of the projects and $19.7 million of letters of credit outstanding for certain Lennar Multifamily unconsolidated VIEs that could be drawn upon in the event of default under their debt agreements. In addition, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to the VIEs, except with regard to a $43.4 million repayment guarantee of an unconsolidated entity's debt. Except for the unconsolidated VIEs discussed above, the Company and the other partners did not guarantee any debt of the other unconsolidated VIEs. While the Company has option contracts to purchase land from certain of its unconsolidated VIEs, the Company is not required to purchase the assets and could walk away from the contracts. Option Contracts The Company has access to land through option contracts, which generally enables it to control portions of properties owned by third parties (including land funds) and unconsolidated entities until the Company has determined whether to exercise the option. The Company evaluates all option contracts for land to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of certain of these option contracts. Although the Company does not have legal title to the optioned land, if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary or makes a significant deposit for optioned land, it may need to consolidate the land under option at the purchase price of the optioned land. During the year ended November 30, 2016 , consolidated inventory not owned increased by $62.2 million with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2016 . The increase was primarily related to the consolidation of an option agreement, partially offset by the Company exercising its option to acquire land under previously consolidated contracts. To reflect the purchase price of the inventory consolidated, the Company had a net reclass related to option deposits from land under development to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2016 . The liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned primarily represent the difference between the option exercise prices for the optioned land and the Company’s cash deposits. The Company’s exposure to loss related to its option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities consisted of its non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs totaling $85.0 million and $89.2 million at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Additionally, the Company had posted $45.1 million and $70.4 million of letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments And Contingent Liabilities | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities The Company is party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is also a party to various lawsuits involving purchases and sales of real property. These lawsuits include claims regarding representations and warranties made in connection with the transfer of properties and disputes regarding the obligation to purchase or sell properties. The Company has been engaged in litigation since 2008 in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland regarding whether the Company is required by a contract it entered into in 2005 to purchase a property in Maryland. After entering into the contract, the Company later renegotiated the purchase price, reducing it from $200 million to $134 million , $20 million of which has been paid and subsequently written off, leaving a balance of $114 million . In January 2015, the District Court rendered a decision ordering the Company to purchase the property for the $114 million balance of the contract price, to pay interest at the rate of 12% per annum from May 27, 2008, and to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes and attorneys’ fees. The Company believes the decision is contrary to applicable law and has appealed the decision. The Company does not believe it is probable that a loss has occurred and, therefore, no liability has been recorded with respect to this case. If the District Court decision is affirmed in its entirety, the Company will purchase the property and record it at fair value, which the Company believes will not result in an impairment. The amount of interest the Company will be required to pay has been the subject of further proceedings before the court. On June 29, 2015, the court ruled that interest will be calculated as simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum from May 27, 2008 until the date the Company purchases the property. Simple interest on $114 million at 12% per annum will accrue at the rate of $13.7 million per year, totaling approximately $116 million as of November 30, 2016 . In addition, if the Company is required to purchase the property, it will be obligated to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes, which currently total $1.6 million . The Company has not engaged in discovery regarding the amount of the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. If the District Court decision is totally reversed on appeal, the Company will not have to purchase the property or pay interest, real estate taxes or attorneys’ fees. In its June 29, 2015 ruling, the District Court determined that the Company would be permitted to stay the judgment during appeal by posting a bond in the amount of $223.4 million related to pending litigation. The District Court calculated this amount by adding 12% per annum simple interest to the $114 million purchase price for the period beginning May 27, 2008 through May 26, 2016, the date the District Court estimated the appeal of the case would be concluded. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these claims or lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial position. However, the financial effect of litigation concerning purchases and sales of property may depend upon the value of the subject property, which may have changed from the time the agreement for purchase or sale was entered into. The Company is subject to the usual obligations associated with entering into contracts (including option contracts) for the purchase, development and sale of real estate, which it does in the routine conduct of its business. Option contracts generally enable the Company to control portions of properties owned by third parties (including land funds) and unconsolidated entities until the Company determines whether to exercise the option. The use of option contracts allows the Company to reduce the financial risks associated with long-term land holdings. At November 30, 2016 , the Company had $85.0 million of non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs related to certain of these homesites, which were included in inventories in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has entered into agreements to lease certain office facilities and equipment under operating leases. Future minimum payments under the noncancellable leases in effect at November 30, 2016 were as follows: (In thousands) Lease Payments 2017 $ 35,443 2018 33,877 2019 24,816 2020 18,767 2021 14,999 Thereafter 16,120 Rental expense for the years ended November 30, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $63.2 million , $55.9 million and $48.9 million , respectively. The Company is committed, under various letters of credit, to perform certain development and construction activities and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. Outstanding letters of credit under these arrangements totaled $481.1 million at November 30, 2016 . Additionally, at November 30, 2016 , the Company had outstanding surety bonds of $1.4 billion including performance surety bonds related to site improvements at various projects (including certain projects in the Company’s joint ventures) and financial surety bonds including $223.4 million related to pending litigation. Although significant development and construction activities have been completed related to these site improvements, these bonds are generally not released until all development and construction activities are completed. As of November 30, 2016 , there were approximately $488.9 million , or 42% , of anticipated future costs to complete related to these site improvements. The Company does not presently anticipate any draws upon these bonds that would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. |

Business Acquisition | Business Acquisition On September 22, 2016 , the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with WCI, under which the Company will acquire WCI through a merger for a combination of the Company’s Class A common stock and cash totaling $23.50 per share of WCI common stock. It is currently anticipated that the merger consideration payable to WCI stockholders will be $11.75 in cash and $11.75 in Class A common stock, with the Class A common stock valued at the average of its volume weighted average price on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on each of the ten NYSE trading days before closing. However, the Company has the right to reduce the portion of the merger consideration that will be Class A common stock and increase the portion that will be cash, including the right to make the entire merger consideration cash. WCI can terminate the Merger Agreement to engage in a transaction that its Board of Directors deems to be more favorable to its stockholders than the transaction with the Company, unless the Company will match the deemed more favorable transaction. However, if WCI terminates the Merger Agreement to engage in another transaction, it will have to pay the Company a termination fee of $ 22.5 million |

Supplemental Financial Information | Supplemental Financial Information The indentures governing the Company’s 12.25% senior notes due 2017, 4.75% senior notes due 2017, 6.95% senior notes due 2018, 4.125% senior notes due 2018, 4.500% senior notes due 2019, 4.50% senior notes due 2019, 4.750% senior notes due 2021, 4.750% senior notes due 2022, 4.875% senior notes due 2023 and 4.750% senior notes due 2025 require that, if any of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries, other than its finance company subsidiaries and foreign subsidiaries, directly or indirectly guarantee at least $75 million principal amount of debt of Lennar Corporation, those subsidiaries must also guarantee Lennar Corporation’s obligations with regard to its senior notes. The entities referred to as "guarantors" in the following tables are subsidiaries that are not finance company subsidiaries or foreign subsidiaries and were guaranteeing the senior notes because at November 30, 2016 they were guaranteeing Lennar Corporation's letter of credit facilities and its Credit Facility, described in Note 6. The guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several and the guarantor subsidiaries are 100% directly or indirectly owned by Lennar Corporation. A subsidiary's guarantee will be suspended at any time when it is not directly or indirectly guaranteeing at least $75 million principal amount of debt of Lennar Corporation, and a subsidiary will be released from its guarantee and any other obligations it may have regarding the senior notes if all or substantially all its assets, or all of its capital stock, are sold or otherwise disposed of. For purposes of the consolidating statement of cash flows included in the following supplemental financial information, the Company's accounting policy is to treat cash received by Lennar Corporation ("the Parent") from its subsidiaries, to the extent of net earnings from such subsidiaries as a dividend and accordingly a return on investment within cash flows from operating activities. Distributions of capital received by the Parent from its subsidiaries are reflected as cash flows from investing activities. The cash outflows associated with the return on investment dividends and distributions of capital received by the Parent are reflected by the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries in the Dividends line item within cash flows from financing activities. All other cash flows between the Parent and its subsidiaries represent the settlement of receivables and payables between such entities in conjunction with the Parent's centralized cash management arrangement with its subsidiaries, which operates with the characteristics of a revolving credit facility, and are accordingly reflected net in the Intercompany line item within cash flows from investing activities for the Parent and net in the Intercompany line item within cash flows from financing activities for the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor subsidiaries. Supplemental information for the subsidiaries that were guarantor subsidiaries at November 30, 2016 was as follows: Consolidating Balance Sheet November 30, 2016 (In thousands) Lennar Corporation

Summary Of Significant Accoun28
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy) | 12 Months Ended |
Nov. 30, 2016 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis Of Consolidation | The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lennar Corporation and all subsidiaries, partnerships and other entities in which Lennar Corporation has a controlling interest and VIEs (see Note 15) in which Lennar Corporation is deemed the primary beneficiary (the "Company"). The Company’s investments in both unconsolidated entities in which a significant, but less than controlling, interest is held and in VIEs in which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary are accounted for by the equity method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use Of Estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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 those estimates. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenues from sales of homes are recognized when the sales are closed and title passes to the new homeowner, the new homeowner’s initial and continuing investment is adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay for the home, the new homeowner’s receivable is not subject to future subordination and the Company does not have a substantial continuing involvement with the new home. Revenues from sales of land are recognized when a significant down payment is received, the earnings process is complete, title passes and collectability of the receivable is reasonably assured. See Lennar Financial Services, Rialto and Lennar Multifamily within this Note for disclosure of other revenue recognition policies related to those segments.Title premiums on policies issued directly by the Company are recognized as revenue on the effective date of the title policies and escrow fees and loan origination revenues are recognized at the time the related real estate transactions are completed, usually upon the close of escrow. Revenues from title policies issued by independent agents are recognized as revenue when notice of issuance is received from the agent, which is generally when cash payment is received by the Company. Expected gains and losses from the sale of loans and their related servicing rights are included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings at the time of commitment. Interest income on loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment is recognized as earned over the terms of the mortgage loans based on the contractual interest rates.The Lennar Multifamily segment provides management services with respect to the development, construction and property management of rental projects in joint ventures in which the Company has investments. As a result, the Lennar Multifamily segment earns and receives fees, which are generally based upon a stated percentage of development and construction costs and a percentage of gross rental collections. These fees are included in Lennar Multifamily revenue and are recorded over the period in which the services are performed, fees are determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. In addition, the Lennar Multifamily provides general contractor services for the construction of some of its rental projects and recognizes the revenue over the period in which the services are performed under the percentage of completion method.The Rialto segment provides services to a variety of legal entities and investment vehicles such as funds, joint ventures, co-invests, and other private equity structures to manage their respective investments. As a result, Rialto earns and receives management fees, underwriting fees and due diligence fees. These fees are included in Rialto revenues and are recorded over the period in which the services are performed, fees are determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Rialto receives investment management fees from investment vehicles based on 1) a percentage of committed or called capital during the commitment period and called capital after the commitment period ends and 2) a percentage of invested capital less the portion of such invested capital utilized to acquire investments that have been sold (in whole or in part) or liquidated. Fees earned for underwriting and due diligence services are based on actual costs incurred. In certain situations, Rialto may earn additional fees when the return on assets managed exceeds contractually established thresholds. Such revenue is only booked when the contract terms are met, the contract is at, or near, completion and the amounts are known and collectability is reasonably assured. Since such revenue is recognized during the latter half of the life of the investment vehicle, after substantially all of the assets have been sold and investment gains and losses realized, the possibility of claw backs is limited. In addition, Rialto may also receive tax distributions in order to cover income tax obligations resulting from allocations of taxable income due to Rialto's carried interests in the funds. These distributions are not subject to clawbacks and therefore are recorded as revenue when received. |
Advertising Costs | The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. |
Share-Based Payments | The Company has share-based awards outstanding under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plans"), each of which provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted common stock ("nonvested shares") and other share based awards to officers, associates and directors. The exercise prices of stock options may not be less than the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. Exercises are permitted in installments determined when options are granted. Each stock option will expire on a date determined at the time of the grant, but not more than ten |
Cash And Cash Equivalents | The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Due to the short maturity period of cash equivalents, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximate their fair values. |
Restricted Cash | Lennar Homebuilding restricted cash consists of customer deposits on home sales held in restricted accounts until title transfers to the homebuyer, as required by the state and local governments in which the homes were sold, as well as funds on deposit to secure and support performance obligations. Rialto restricted cash primarily consists of upfront deposits and application fees Rialto Mortgage Finance ("RMF") receives before originating loans and is recognized as income once the loan has been originated as well as cash held in escrow by the Company’s loan servicer provider on behalf of customers and lenders and is disbursed in accordance with agreements between the transacting parties. |
Inventories | Finished homes and construction in progress are included within inventories. Inventories are stated at cost unless the inventory within a community is determined to be impaired, in which case the impaired inventory is written down to fair value. Inventory costs include land, land development and home construction costs, real estate taxes, deposits on land purchase contracts and interest related to development and construction. Construction overhead and selling expenses are expensed as incurred. Homes held-for-sale are classified as inventories until delivered. Land, land development, amenities and other costs are accumulated by specific area and allocated to homes within the respective areas. The Company reviews its inventory for indicators of impairment by evaluating each community during each reporting period. The inventory within each community is categorized as finished homes and construction in progress or land under development based on the development state of the community. There were 693 and 662 active communities, excluding unconsolidated entities, as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. If the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by a community are less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the carrying amount of such community to its estimated fair value. In conducting its review for indicators of impairment on a community level, the Company evaluates, among other things, the margins on homes that have been delivered, margins on homes under sales contracts in backlog, projected margins with regard to future home sales over the life of the community, projected margins with regard to future land sales and the estimated fair value of the land itself. The Company pays particular attention to communities in which inventory is moving at a slower than anticipated absorption pace and communities whose average sales price and/or margins are trending downward and are anticipated to continue to trend downward. From this review, the Company identifies communities in which to assess if the carrying values exceed their undiscounted projected cash flows. The Company estimates the fair value of its communities using a discounted cash flow model. The projected cash flows for each community are significantly impacted by estimates related to market supply and demand, product type by community, homesite sizes, sales pace, sales prices, sales incentives, construction costs, sales and marketing expenses, the local economy, competitive conditions, labor costs, costs of materials and other factors for that particular community. Every division evaluates the historical performance of each of its communities as well as current trends in the market and economy impacting the community and its surrounding areas. These trends are analyzed for each of the estimates listed above. Each of the homebuilding markets in which the Company operates is unique, as homebuilding has historically been a local business driven by local market conditions and demographics. Each of the Company’s homebuilding markets has specific supply and demand relationships reflective of local economic conditions. The Company’s projected cash flows are impacted by many assumptions. Some of the most critical assumptions in the Company’s cash flow model are projected absorption pace for home sales, sales prices and costs to build and deliver homes on a community by community basis. In order to arrive at the assumed absorption pace for home sales and the assumed sales prices included in the Company’s cash flow model, the Company analyzes its historical absorption pace and historical sales prices in the community and in other comparable communities in the geographical area. In addition, the Company considers internal and external market studies and places greater emphasis on more current metrics and trends, which generally include, but are not limited to, statistics and forecasts on population demographics and on sales prices in neighboring communities, unemployment rates and availability and sales prices of competing product in the geographical area where the community is located as well as the absorption pace realized in its most recent quarters and the sales prices included in the Company's current backlog for such communities. Generally, if the Company notices a variation from historical results over a span of two fiscal quarters, the Company considers such variation to be the establishment of a trend and adjusts its historical information accordingly in order to develop assumptions on the projected absorption pace and sales prices in the cash flow model for a community. In order to arrive at the Company’s assumed costs to build and deliver homes, the Company generally assumes a cost structure reflecting contracts currently in place with its vendors adjusted for any anticipated cost reduction initiatives or increases in cost structure. Those costs assumed are used in the cash flow model for the Company’s communities. Since the estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s cash flow models are based upon historical results and projected trends, they do not anticipate unexpected changes in market conditions or strategies that may lead the Company to incur additional impairment charges in the future. The determination of fair value requires discounting the estimated cash flows at a rate the Company believes a market participant would determine to be commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. The discount rate used in determining each asset’s fair value depends on the community’s projected life and development stage. The Company generally uses a discount rate of approximately 20% , subject to the perceived risks associated with the community’s cash flow streams relative to its inventory. |
Inventories, Land Under Option Contracts | The Company also has access to land inventory through option contracts, which generally enables the Company to defer acquiring portions of properties owned by third parties and unconsolidated entities until it has determined whether to exercise its option. A majority of the Company’s option contracts require a non-refundable cash deposit or irrevocable letter of credit based on a percentage of the purchase price of the land. The Company’s option contracts sometimes include price adjustment provisions, which adjust the purchase price of the land to its approximate fair value at the time of acquisition or are based on the fair value at the time of takedown. In determining whether to walk away from an option contract, the Company evaluates the option primarily based upon its expected cash flows from the property under option. If the Company intends to walk away from an option contract, it records a charge to earnings in the period such decision is made for the deposit amount and any related pre-acquisition costs associated with the option contract. |
Lennar Homebuilding and Lennar Multifamily Investments in Unconsolidated Entities | The Company evaluates the long-lived assets in unconsolidated entities for indicators of impairment during each reporting period. If a valuation adjustment is recorded by an unconsolidated entity related to its assets, the Company generally uses a discount rate between 10% and 20% , subject to the perceived risks associated with the community’s cash flow streams relative to its inventory or operating assets. The Company’s proportionate share of a valuation adjustment is reflected in the Company's Lennar Homebuilding or Lennar Multifamily equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities with a corresponding decrease to its Lennar Homebuilding or Lennar Multifamily investment in unconsolidated entities. Additionally, the Company evaluates if a decrease in the value of an investment below its carrying value is other-than-temporary. This evaluation includes certain critical assumptions made by management: (1) projected future distributions from the unconsolidated entities, (2) discount rates applied to the future distributions and (3) various other factors, which include age of the venture, relationships with the other partners and banks, general economic market conditions, land status and liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity. If the decline in the fair value of the investment is other-than-temporary, then these losses are included in Lennar Homebuilding other income, net or Lennar Multifamily costs and expenses. The Company tracks its share of cumulative earnings and distributions of its joint ventures ("JVs"). For purposes of classifying distributions received from JVs in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows, cumulative distributions are treated as returns on |
Consolidation Of Variable Interest Entities | In 2010, the Rialto segment acquired indirectly 40% managing member equity interests in two limited liability companies ("LLCs"), in partnership with the FDIC. The Company determined that each of the LLCs met the definition of a VIE and that the Company was the primary beneficiary. In accordance with ASC 810-10-65-2, Consolidations , ("ASC 810-10-65-2"), the Company identified the activities that most significantly impact the LLCs’ economic performance and determined that it has the power to direct those activities. The economic performance of the LLCs is most significantly impacted by the performance of the LLCs’ portfolios of assets, which consisted primarily of distressed residential and commercial mortgage loans. Thus, the activities that most significantly impact the LLCs’ economic performance are the servicing and disposition of mortgage loans and real estate obtained through foreclosure of loans, restructuring of loans, or other planned activities associated with the monetizing of loans. At November 30, 2016 , these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of $213.8 million and $10.3 million , respectively. At November 30, 2015 , these consolidated LLCs had total combined assets and liabilities of $355.2 million and $11.3 million , respectively. The FDIC does not have the unilateral power to terminate the Company’s role in managing the LLCs and servicing the loan portfolios. While the FDIC has the right to prevent certain types of transactions (i.e., bulk sales, selling assets with recourse back to the selling entity, selling assets with representations and warranties and financing the sales of assets without the FDIC’s approval), the FDIC does not have full voting or blocking rights over the LLCs’ activities, making their voting rights protective in nature, not substantive participating voting rights. Other than as described in the preceding sentence, which are not the primary activities of the LLCs, the Company can cause the LLCs to enter into both the disposition and restructuring of loans without any involvement of the FDIC. Additionally, the FDIC has no voting rights with regard to the operation/management of the operating properties that are acquired upon foreclosure of loans (e.g. REO) and no voting rights over the business plans of the LLCs. The FDIC can make suggestions regarding the business plans, but the Company can decide not to follow the FDIC’s suggestions and not to incorporate them in the business plans. Since the FDIC’s voting rights are protective in nature and not substantive participating voting rights, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the LLCs’ economic performance. In accordance with ASC 810-10-65-2, the Company determined that it had an obligation to absorb losses of the LLCs that could potentially be significant to the LLCs or the right to receive benefits from the LLCs that could potentially be significant to the LLCs based on the following factors: • Rialto/Lennar owns 40% of the equity of the LLCs and has the power to direct the activities of the LLCs that most significantly impact their economic performance through loan resolutions and the sale of REO. • Rialto/Lennar has a management/servicer contract under which the Company earns a 0.5% servicing fee. • Rialto/Lennar has guaranteed, as the servicer, its obligations under the servicing agreement up to $10 million . The Company is aware that the FDIC, as the owner of 60% of the equity of each of the LLCs, may also have an obligation to absorb losses of the LLCs that could potentially be significant to the LLCs. However, in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-38A, only one enterprise, if any, is expected to be identified as the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Since both criteria for consolidation in ASC 810-10-65-2 are met, the Company consolidated the LLCs. Voting Interest Entities Rialto Real Estate Fund, LP ("Fund I"), Rialto Real Estate Fund II, LP ("Fund II"), Rialto Real Estate Fund III ("Fund III"), Rialto Mezzanine Partners Fund, LP ("Mezzanine Fund") and the Rialto Credit Partnership, LP ("RCP") are unconsolidated entities and are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. They were determined to have the attributes of an investment company in accordance with ASC Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies , the attributes of which are different from the attributes that would cause a company to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result, Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund, and the RCP's assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value with increases/decreases in fair value recorded in their respective statements of operations, the Company’s share of which will be recorded in the Rialto equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities financial statement line item. The Company determined that Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund, and the RCP are not variable interest entities but rather voting interest entities due to the following factors: • The Company determined that Rialto’s general partner interest and all the limited partners’ interests qualify as equity investment at risk. • Based on the capital structure of Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund, and the RCP (100% capitalized via equity contributions), the Company was able to conclude that the equity investment at risk was sufficient to allow Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund and the RCP to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. • The general partner and the limited partners in Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund and the RCP, collectively, have full decision-making ability as they collectively have the power to direct the activities of Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund and the RCP, since Rialto, in addition to being a general partner with a substantive equity investment in Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund and the RCP, also provides services to Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund and the RCP, under a management agreement and an investment agreement, which are not separable from Rialto’s general partnership interest. • As a result of all these factors, the Company has concluded that the power to direct the activities of Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund, and the RCP reside in its general partnership interest and thus with the holders of the equity investment at risk. • In addition, there are no guaranteed returns provided to the equity investors and the equity contributions are fully subjected to Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund and the RCP's operational results, thus the equity investors absorb the expected negative and positive variability relative to Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund and the RCP. • Finally, substantially all of the activities of Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, Mezzanine Fund and the RCP are not conducted on behalf of any individual investor or related group that has disproportionately few voting rights (i.e., on behalf of any individual limited partner). The Company’s variable interest in VIEs may be in the form of (1) equity ownership, (2) contracts to purchase assets, (3) management and development agreements between the Company and a VIE, (4) loans provided by the Company to a VIE or other partner and/or (5) guarantees provided by members to banks and other third parties. The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, level of economic disproportionality, if any, between the Company and the other partner(s) and contracts to purchase assets from VIEs. The determination whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary may require it to exercise significant judgment. Generally, all major decision making in the Company’s joint ventures is shared among all partners. In particular, business plans and budgets are generally required to be unanimously approved by all partners. Usually, management and other fees earned by the Company are nominal and believed to be at market and there is no significant economic disproportionality between the Company and other partners. Generally, the Company purchases less than a majority of the JV’s assets and the purchase prices under its option contracts are believed to be at market. |
Operating Properties And Equipment | Operating properties and equipment are recorded at cost and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. At the time operating properties and equipment are disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to earnings. The estimated useful life for operating properties is 30 years , for furniture, fixtures and equipment is two to ten years and for leasehold improvements is five |
Investment Securities | Investment securities are classified as available-for-sale unless they are classified as trading or held-to-maturity. Securities classified as trading are carried at fair value and unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded in earnings. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Any unrealized holding gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of tax, until realized. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost because they are purchased with the intent and ability to hold to maturity. At November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Lennar Financial Services segment had investment securities classified as held-to-maturity totaling $42.0 million and $40.2 million , respectively, which consist mainly of corporate debt obligations, U.S. government agency obligations, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities that mature at various dates, mainly within five years. Also, at November 30, 2016 and 2015 , the Lennar Financial Services segment had available-for-sale securities totaling $53.6 million and $42.8 million |
Income Taxes | The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or paid. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period when the changes are enacted. Interest related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the financial statements as a component of income tax expense. A reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance is required if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed each reporting period by the Company based on the consideration of all available positive and negative evidence using a "more-likely-than-not" standard with respect to whether deferred tax assets will be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, actual earnings, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with loss carryforwards not expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. |
Product Warranty | Warranty and similar reserves for homes are established at an amount estimated to be adequate to cover potential costs for materials and labor with regard to warranty-type claims expected to be incurred subsequent to the delivery of a home. Reserves are determined based on historical data and trends with respect to similar product types and geographical areas. The Company regularly monitors the warranty reserve and makes adjustments to its pre-existing warranties in order to reflect changes in trends and historical data as information becomes available. Warranty reserves are included in Lennar Homebuilding other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Self-Insurance | Certain insurable risks such as construction defects, general liability, medical and workers’ compensation are self-insured by the Company up to certain limits. Undiscounted accruals for claims under the Company’s self-insurance program are based on claims filed and estimates for claims incurred but not yet reported. The Company’s self-insurance reserve as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 was $87.6 million and $96.5 million , respectively, of which $57.4 million and $65.0 million |
Earnings Per Share | Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in earnings of the Company.All outstanding nonvested shares that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents that participate in undistributed earnings with common stock are considered participating securities and are included in computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s restricted common stock ("nonvested shares") are considered participating securities. |
Loans Held-for-Sale | The originated mortgage loans are classified as loans held-for-sale and are recorded at fair value. The Company elected the fair value option for RMF's loans held-for-sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 825, Financial Instruments In addition, the Lennar Financial Services segment recognizes the fair value of its rights to service a mortgage loan as revenue upon entering into an interest rate lock loan commitment with a borrower. The fair value of these servicing rights is included in Lennar Financial Services' other assets as of November 30, 2016 and 2015 |
Provision for Losses | The Company establishes reserves for possible losses associated with mortgage loans previously originated and sold to investors based upon, among other things, an analysis of repurchase requests received, an estimate of potential repurchase claims not yet received and actual past repurchases and losses through the disposition of affected loans, as well as previous settlements. Loan origination liabilities are included in Lennar Financial Services’ liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Loans Held-for-Investment, Net | Loans for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity consist of mortgage loans carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized discounts and allowance for loan losses. Discounts are amortized over the estimated lives of the loans using the interest method.The Lennar Financial Services segment also provides an allowance for loan losses. The provision recorded and the adequacy of the related allowance is determined by management’s continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of past loan loss experience, credit worthiness and nature of underlying collateral, present economic conditions and other factors considered relevant by the Company’s management. Anticipated changes in economic factors, which may influence the level of the allowance, are considered in the evaluation by the Company’s management when the likelihood of the changes can be reasonably determined. While the Company’s management uses the best information available to make such evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary as a result of future economic and other conditions that may be beyond management’s control. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | The Lennar Financial Services segment, in the normal course of business, uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in mortgage-related interest rates. The segment uses mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") forward commitments, option contracts, future contracts and investor commitments to protect the value of fixed rate-locked loan commitments and loans held-for-sale from fluctuations in mortgage-related interest rates. These derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value with the changes in fair value included in Lennar Financial Services revenues.The Rialto segment, in the normal course of business, uses derivative financial instruments on loans held-for-sale in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations in mortgage-related interest rates as well as lessen its credit risk. The segment hedges interest rate exposure by entering into interest rate swaps and swap futures. These derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value with derivative instruments in gain positions recorded in other assets while derivative instruments in loss positions are recorded in other liabilities. |
Real Estate Owned | Real estate owned ("REO") represents real estate that the Rialto segment has taken control in partial or full satisfaction of loans receivable. At the time of acquisition of a property through foreclosure of a loan, REO is recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell if classified as held-for-sale or at fair value if classified as held-and-used, which becomes the property’s new basis. The fair values of these assets are determined in part by placing reliance on third-party appraisals of the properties and/or internally prepared analyses of recent offers or prices on comparable properties in the proximate vicinity. The third-party appraisals and internally developed analyses are significantly impacted by the local market economy, market supply and demand, competitive conditions and prices on comparable properties, adjusted for anticipated date of sale, location, property size, and other factors. Each REO is unique and is analyzed in the context of the particular market where the property is located. In order to establish the significant assumptions for a particular REO, the Company analyzes historical trends, including trends achieved by the Company's local homebuilding operations, if applicable, and current trends in the market and economy impacting the REO. Using available trend information, the Company then calculates its best estimate of fair value, which can include projected cash flows discounted at a rate the Company believes a market participant would determine to be commensurate with the inherent risks associated with the assets and related estimated cash flow streams. These methods use unobservable inputs to develop fair value for the Company’s REO. Due to the volume and variance of unobservable inputs, resulting from the uniqueness of each of the Company's REO, the Company does not use a standard range of unobservable inputs with respect to its evaluation of REO. However, for operating properties included within REO, the Company may also use estimated cash flows multiplied by a capitalization rate to determine the fair value of the property. Generally, the capitalization rates used to estimate fair value ranged from 8% to 12% and varied based on the location of the asset, asset type and occupancy rates for the operating properties. Changes in economic factors, consumer demand and market conditions, among other things, could materially impact estimates used in the third-party appraisals and/or internally prepared analyses of recent offers or prices on comparable properties. Thus, estimates can differ significantly from the amounts ultimately realized by the Rialto segment from disposition of these assets. The amount by which the recorded investment in the loan is less than the REO’s fair value (net of estimated cost to sell if held-for-sale), is recorded as an unrealized gain upon foreclosure in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The amount by which the recorded investment in the loan is greater than the REO’s fair value (net of estimated cost to sell if held-for-sale) is recorded as a provision for loan losses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, REO includes real estate which Rialto has purchased directly from financial institutions. These REOs are recorded at cost or allocated cost if purchased in a bulk transaction. Subsequent to obtaining REO via foreclosure or directly from a financial institution, management periodically performs valuations using the methodologies described above such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its carrying value or current fair value, less estimated costs to sell if classified as held-for-sale. Held-and-used assets are tested for recoverability whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, and impairment losses are recorded for any amount by which the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Any subsequent impairment losses, operating expenses or income, and gains and losses on disposition of such properties are also recognized in Rialto other income (expense), net. REO assets classified as held-and-used are depreciated using a useful life of forty years for commercial properties and twenty seven and a half years for residential properties. REO assets classified as held-for-sale are not depreciated. Occasionally an asset will require certain improvements to yield a higher return. In accordance with ASC 970-340-25, Real Estate |
New Accounting Pronouncements | In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date; therefore, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The Company has the option to apply the provisions of ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of applying this ASU recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB has issued several ASUs such as ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) , ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients among others. These ASUs do not change the core principle of the guidance stated in ASU 2014-09, instead these amendments are intended to clarify and improve operability of certain topics included within the revenue standard. These ASUs will have the same effective date and transition requirements as ASU 2014-09. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of these ASUs and ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"). ASU 2015-02 amends the consolidation requirements and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required. ASU 2015-02 requires management to reevaluate all legal entities under a revised consolidation model specifically (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnership and similar legal entities are VIEs, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships, and (iv) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customers' Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement ("ASU 2015-05"). ASU 2015-05 provides guidance for a customer to determine whether a cloud computing arrangement contains a software license or should be accounted for as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods. As permitted, the Company elected early adoption. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments ("ASU 2015-16"). ASU 2015-16 requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU 2016-01 modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, entities will have to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicality exception. A practicality exception will apply to those equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements , and as such these investments may be measured at cost. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"), which provides guidance for accounting for leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of the lease classification. The lease classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest rate method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Accounting for lessors remains largely unchanged from current GAAP. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2019 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments- Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting ("ASU 2016-07"). ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, statutory tax withholding requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-09 but the Company does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting across all industries by clarifying certain existing principles in ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows , ("ASC 230") including providing additional guidance on how and what an entity should consider in determining the classification of certain cash flows. In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 clarifies certain existing principles in ASC 230, including providing additional guidance related to transfers between cash and restricted cash and how entities present, in their statement of cash flows, the cash receipts and cash payments that directly affect the restricted cash accounts. These ASUs will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning December 1, 2018 and subsequent interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 will modify the Company's current disclosures and reclassifications within the consolidated statement of cash flows but they are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications/Revisions As a result of the Company's change in reportable segments during fiscal year 2016, the Company restated certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements to conform with the 2016 presentation (see Note 2). These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
