Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Basis of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023, as amended ("Form 10-K"). The basis of consolidation is unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made. Seasonality The Company has historically experienced, and expects to continue to experience, variability in quarterly results. The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Homebuilding cash and cash equivalents as of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023 included $482.0 million and $594.8 million, respectively, of cash held in escrow for approximately two days. Share-based Payments During both the three months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted employees an immaterial number of nonvested shares. During the six months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted employees 1.3 million and 2.0 million of nonvested shares, respectively. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”) Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . ASU 2023-09 requires public companies to annually (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2023-09 and does not expect it to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “ Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within the segment measure of profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-07 may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Reclassifications |

Homebuilding Segments Information about homebuilding activities in states which are not economically similar to other states in the same geographic areas 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, other revenues from management fees and forfeited deposits, equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities and other income (expense), net, less the cost of homes sold and land sold, and selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. Homebuilding Other also includes management of a fund that acquires single-family homes and holds them as rental properties.

They also include originating and selling into securitizations commercial mortgage loans through its LMF Commercial business. Financial Services’ operating earnings consist of revenues generated primarily from mortgage financing, title and closing services, and sales of property and casualty insurance, less the cost of such services and certain selling, general and administrative expenses incurred by the segment. The Financial Services segment operates generally in the same states as the Company’s homebuilding operations. At May 31, 2024, the Financial Services segment had warehouse facilities which were all 364-day repurchase facilities and were used to fund residential mortgages or commercial mortgages for LMF Commercial as follows: Maximum Aggregate Commitment (In thousands) Committed Amount Uncommitted Amount Total Residential facilities maturing: June 2024 (1) $ 500,000 — 500,000 June 2024 (2) 100,000 100,000 200,000 July 2024 505,000 — 505,000 September 2024 100,000 100,000 200,000 April 2025 250,000 250,000 500,000 Total residential facilities $ 1,455,000 450,000 1,905,000 LMF commercial facilities maturing: December 2024 200,000 — 200,000 January 2025 100,000 — 100,000 Total LMF commercial facilities $ 300,000 — 300,000 Total $ 2,205,000 (1) Subsequent to May 31, 2024, the maturity date was extended to July 2024. (2) Subsequent to May 31, 2024, the maximum aggregate committed and uncommitted commitment was reduced to $75 million each until maturity in August 2024. The Financial Services segment uses residential mortgage loan warehouse facilities to finance its residential 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. The LMF Commercial facilities finance LMF Commercial loan originations and securitization activities and were secured by up to 80% interests in the originated commercial loans financed. Borrowings and collateral under the facilities were as follows: (In thousands) May 31, 2024 November 30, 2023 Borrowings under the residential facilities $ 1,233,015 2,020,187 Collateral under the residential facilities 1,280,929 2,097,020 Borrowings under the LMF Commercial facilities 48,057 12,525 If the facilities are not renewed or replaced, the borrowings under the lines of credit will be repaid by selling the mortgage loans held-for-sale to investors and by collecting receivables on loans sold but not yet paid for. Without the facilities, the Financial Services segment would have to use cash from operations and other funding sources to finance its lending activities. Substantially all of the residential loans the Financial Services segment originates are sold within a short period in the secondary mortgage market 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. Purchasers sometimes try to defray losses by purporting to have found inaccuracies related to sellers’ representations and warranties in particular loan sale agreements. Mortgage investors could seek to have the Company buy back mortgage loans or compensate them for losses incurred on mortgage loans that the Company has sold based on claims that the Company breached its limited representations or warranties. The Company’s mortgage operations have established accruals for possible losses associated with mortgage loans previously originated and sold to investors. The Company establishes accruals for such possible losses 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. While the Company believes that it has adequately reserved for known losses and projected repurchase requests, given the volatility in the residential mortgage industry and the uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of these claims, if either actual repurchases or the losses incurred resolving those repurchases exceed the Company’s expectations, additional recourse expense may be incurred. The provision for loan losses was immaterial for both the three and six months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023. Loan origination liabilities were $18.3 million and $17.6 million as of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, respectively, and included in Financial Services’ liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. LMF Commercial - loans held-for-sale LMF Commercial originated commercial loans as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended May 31, May 31, (Dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Originations (1) $ 71,510 84,590 212,335 164,070 Sold 129,335 88,102 156,285 165,302 Securitizations 3 2 5 3 (1) During both the three and six months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, the commercial loans originated were recorded as loans held-for-sale, which are held at fair value. Investments held-to-maturity At May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Financial Services segment held commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”). These securities are classified as held-to-maturity based on the segment's intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity and changes in estimated cash flows are reviewed periodically to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. Based on the segment’s assessment, no impairment charges were recorded during the three or six months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company has financing agreements to finance CMBS that have been purchased as investments by the Financial Services segment. Details related to Financial Services' CMBS were as follows: (Dollars in thousands) May 31, 2024 November 30, 2023 Carrying value $ 138,425 140,676 Outstanding debt, net of debt issuance costs 129,029 131,093 Incurred interest rate 3.4% 3.4% May 31, 2024 Discount rates at purchase 6% — 84% Coupon rates 2.0% — 5.3% Distribution dates October 2027 — December 2028 Stated maturity dates October 2050 — December 2051 Multifamily The Company is actively involved, primarily through unconsolidated funds and joint ventures, in the development, construction and property management of multifamily rental properties. The Multifamily segment focuses on developing a geographically diversified portfolio of institutional quality multifamily rental properties in select U.S. markets. The Multifamily Segment (i) manages, and owns interests in, funds that are engaged in the development of multifamily residential communities with the intention of holding the newly constructed and occupied properties as income and fee generating assets, and (ii) manages, and owns interests in, joint ventures that are engaged in the development of multifamily residential communities, in most instances with the intention of selling them when they are built and substantially occupied. The multifamily business is a vertically integrated platform with capabilities spanning development, construction, property management, asset management, and capital markets. Revenues are generated from the sales of land, from construction activities, and management and promote fees generated from joint ventures less the cost of sales of land sold, expenses related to construction activities and general and administrative expenses. Operations of the Multifamily Segment also include equity in earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities other gains (which includes sales of buildings and investments). Lennar Other Lennar Other primarily includes strategic investments in technology companies, primarily managed by the Company's LEN X subsidiary, and fund interests the Company retained when it sold the Rialto Capital Management ( “Rialto”) asset and investment management platform. Operations of the Lennar Other segment include operating earnings (loss) consisting of revenues generated primarily from the Company's share of carried interests in the Rialto fund investments, along with equity in earnings (loss) from the Rialto fund investments and technology investments, realized and unrealized gains (losses) from investments in equity securities and other income (expense), net from the remaining assets related to the Company's former Rialto segment. The Company has investments in Blend Labs, Inc. (“Blend Labs”), Hippo Holdings, Inc. (“Hippo”), Opendoor Technologies, Inc. (“Opendoor”), SmartRent, Inc. (“SmartRent”), Sonder Holdings, Inc. (“Sonder”) and Sunnova Energy International, Inc. (“Sunnova”), which are held at market and the carrying value of which will therefore change depending on the value of the Company's shareholdings in those entities on the last day of each quarter. All the investments are accounted for as investments in equity securities which are held at fair value and the changes in fair values are recognized through earnings. The following is a detail of Lennar Other unrealized gains (losses) from mark-to-market adjustments on the Company's technology investments: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended May 31, May 31, (In thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Blend Labs (BLND) $ 715 (1,332) 3,651 (746) Hippo (HIPO) 10,737 (4,399) 27,186 2,233 Opendoor (OPEN) (16,907) 22,512 (15,592) 14,821 SmartRent (SMRT) (4,609) 8,621 (6,572) 9,926 Sonder (SOND) (40) (138) 11 (458) Sunnova (NOVA) (11,410) 233 (35,335) (24,233) Lennar Other unrealized gains (losses) from technology investments $ (21,514) 25,497 (26,651) 1,543 Doma Holdings, Inc.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities | Investments in Unconsolidated Entities Homebuilding Unconsolidated Entities The investments in the Company's Homebuilding unconsolidated entities were as follows: (In thousands) May 31, 2024 November 30, 2023 Investments in unconsolidated entities (1) (2) $ 1,263,905 1,143,909 Underlying equity in unconsolidated entities' net assets (1) 1,573,738 1,436,239 (1) The basis difference was 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 FivePoint. (2) Included in the Company's recorded investments in Homebuilding unconsolidated entities is the Company's 40% ownership of FivePoint. As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the Company's investment was $448.1 million and $422.2 million, respectively. As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Homebuilding segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of $279.3 million and $316.5 million, respectively. The Company has an immaterial amount of recourse exposure to debt of the Homebuilding unconsolidated entities in which it has investments. While the Company sometimes guarantees debt of unconsolidated entities, in most instances the Company’s partners have also guaranteed that debt and are required to contribute their shares of any payments. In most instances, the amount of guaranteed debt of an unconsolidated entity is less than the value of the collateral securing it. As of both May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the fair values of the repayment guarantees, maintenance guarantees, and completion guarantees were not material. The Company believes that as of May 31, 2024, in the event it becomes legally obligated to perform under a guarantee of the obligation of a Homebuilding unconsolidated entity due to a triggering event under a guarantee, the collateral would be sufficient to repay at least a significant portion of the obligation or the Company and its partners would contribute additional capital into the venture. In certain instances, the Company has placed performance letters of credit and surety bonds with municipalities with regard to obligations of its joint ventures (see Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The details related to these are unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Notes to the Financial Statements section in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023. In 2021, the Company formed the Upward America Venture LP (“Upward America”), and is managing and participating in Upward America. Upward America is an investment fund that acquires new single-family homes in high growth markets across the United States and rents them to the people who will live in them. Upward America is expected to raise equity commitments totaling $1.0 billion. The commitments are primarily from institutional investors, including $78 million committed by Lennar. As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the carrying amount of the Company's investment in Upward America was $16.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively. Multifamily Unconsolidated Entities The unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Multifamily segment has investments usually finance their activities with a combination of partner equity and debt financing. In connection with many of the bank loans to the Multifamily unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company (or entities related to them) have been required to give guarantees of completion and cost over-runs to the lenders and partners. The details related to these are unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Notes to the Financial Statements section in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023. As of both May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the fair value of the completion guarantees was immaterial. As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Multifamily segment's unconsolidated entities had non-recourse debt with completion guarantees of $834.2 million and $1.4 billion, respectively. In many instances, the Multifamily segment is appointed as the construction, development and property manager for its Multifamily unconsolidated entities and receives fees for performing this function. Each Multifamily real estate investment trust, JV and fund has unilateral decision-making rights related to development and other sales activity through its executive committee or asset management committee. The Multifamily segment also provides general contractor services for construction of some of the rental properties owned by unconsolidated entities in which the Company has investments. In some situations, the Multifamily segment sells land to various joint ventures and funds. The details of the activity were as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In thousands) May 31, 2024 May 31, 2023 May 31, 2024 May 31, 2023 General contractor services, net of deferrals $ 84,434 128,371 186,070 253,773 General contractor costs 79,995 122,064 175,684 242,797 Management fee income, net of deferrals 13,669 17,494 29,710 35,615 The Multifamily segment includes managing and investing in Multifamily Venture Fund I (“LMV I”), Multifamily Venture Fund II LP (“LMV II”) and Canada Pension Plan Investments Fund (the “CPPIB Fund”), which are long-term multifamily development investment vehicles involved in the development, construction and property management of class-A multifamily assets. The Multifamily segment completed the closing of the CPPIB Fund. The Multifamily segment expects the CPPIB Fund to have almost $1.0 billion in equity and Lennar's ownership percentage in the CPPIB Fund is 4%. As of May 31, 2024, the Company had a $24.6 million investment in the CPPIB Fund. Additional dollars will be committed as opportunities are identified by the CPPIB Fund. Details of LMV I and LMV II as of and during the six months ended May 31, 2024 are included below: May 31, 2024 (In thousands) LMV I LMV II Lennar's carrying value of investments $ 162,904 255,908 Equity commitments 2,204,016 1,257,700 Equity commitments called 2,154,328 1,218,619 Lennar's equity commitments 504,016 381,000 Lennar's equity commitments called 500,381 368,170 Lennar's remaining commitments (1) 3,635 12,830 Distributions to Lennar during the six months ended May 31, 2024 7,245 208 (1) While there are remaining commitments with LMV I and LMV II, there are no plans for additional capital calls. Currently, the LMV I partners have decided to liquidate and sell substantially all of the individual project rental operations of LMV I in the second half of fiscal 2024. Some of those assets were sold in June 2024. As of May 31, 2024, the Company's net investment in LMV I was $162.9 million. Other Unconsolidated Entities Lennar Other's unconsolidated entities include fund investments the Company retained when it sold the Rialto assets and investment management platform in 2018, as well as strategic investments in technology companies and investment funds. The Company's investment in the Rialto funds totaled $146.9 million and $148.7 million as of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, respectively. In addition, the Company is entitled to a portion of the carried interest distributions by those funds. The Company also had strategic technology investments in unconsolidated entities and investment funds with a carrying value of $203.7 million and $127.5 million, as of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, respectively. In addition, during both the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, there was a $46.5 million one-time realized gain in Lennar Other on the sale of a technology investment that was included in other income (expense), net and other gains (losses) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income . |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | 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 the 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”) is considered participating securities. Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended May 31, May 31, (In thousands, except per share amounts) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Numerator: Net earnings attributable to Lennar $ 954,311 871,694 1,673,645 1,468,228 Less: distributed earnings allocated to nonvested shares 2,693 3,572 3,715 4,296 Less: undistributed earnings allocated to nonvested shares 8,007 9,935 13,923 15,695 Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share 943,611 858,187 1,656,007 1,448,237 Denominator: Denominator for basic and diluted earnings per share - weighted average common shares outstanding 273,703 284,910 275,325 285,492 Basic and diluted earnings per share $ 3.45 3.01 6.01 5.07 For both the three and six months ended May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023, there were no options to purchase shares of common stock that were outstanding and anti-dilutive. |

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 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 debt payable, the fair values approximate their carrying value due to variable interest pricing terms and the short-term nature of the majority of the borrowings. 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. Multifamily - For notes payable, the fair values approximate their carrying value due to variable interest pricing terms and the short-term nature of the borrowings. 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: Fair Value Hierarchy Fair Value at (In thousands) May 31, 2024 November 30, 2023 Financial Services Assets: Residential loans held-for-sale Level 2 $ 1,655,196 2,073,350 LMF Commercial loans held-for-sale Level 3 66,715 13,459 Mortgage servicing rights Level 3 3,652 3,440 Forward options Level 1 2,768 5,937 Lennar Other Assets: Investments in equity securities Level 1 $ 152,946 176,198 Investments available-for-sale Level 3 39,669 37,953 Residential and LMF Commercial loans held-for-sale in the table above include: May 31, 2024 November 30, 2023 (In thousands) Aggregate Principal Balance Change in Fair Value Aggregate Principal Balance Change in Fair Value Residential loans held-for-sale $ 1,694,486 (39,290) 2,083,776 (10,426) LMF Commercial loans held-for-sale 69,700 (2,985) 13,650 (191) Financial Services residential 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. 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 are included in Financial Services’ loans held-for-sale as of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023. Fair value of servicing rights is determined based on actual sales of servicing rights on loans with similar characteristics. LMF Commercial loans held-for-sale - The fair value of commercial 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. The details and methods of the calculation are unchanged from the fair value disclosure in the Company's Notes to the Financial Statements section in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023. 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. Mortgage servicing rights - Financial Services records 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 and are noted below: As of May 31, 2024 As of November 30, 2023 Unobservable inputs: Mortgage prepayment rate 8% 8% Discount rate 13% 13% Delinquency rate 9% 9% Forward options - Fair value of forward options is based on independent quoted market prices for similar financial instruments. The fair value of these are included in Financial Services' other assets and the Company recognizes the changes in the fair value of the premium paid as Financial Services' Revenue. Lennar Other investments in equity securities - The fair value of investments in equity securities was calculated based on independent quoted market prices. The Company’s investments in equity securities were recorded at fair value with all changes in fair value recorded to Lennar Other unrealized gains (losses) from technology investments on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Lennar Other investments available-for-sale - The fair value of investments available-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 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: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended May 31, May 31, (In thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Changes in fair value included in Financial Services revenues: Loans held-for-sale $ 17,187 7,899 (28,865) (23,563) Mortgage loan commitments (1,447) 13,783 (32,102) (35,061) Forward contracts (28,973) (18,807) 72,873 72,702 Forward options (710) (100) (1,054) (952) Changes in fair value included in Lennar Other unrealized gains (losses) from technology investments: Investments in equity securities $ (21,514) 25,497 (26,651) 1,543 Changes in fair value included in other comprehensive income, net of tax: Lennar Other investments available-for-sale $ 1,355 573 1,717 1,424 Interest on Financial Services loans held-for-sale and LMF Commercial loans held-for-sale measured at fair value is calculated based on the interest rate of the loans and recorded as revenues in the Financial Services’ statement of operations.

The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are those assets for which the Company has recorded valuation adjustments and write-offs. The fair values included in the table below represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value during the respective periods disclosed.

(2) Valuation adjustments for finished homes and construction in progress, and land and land under development were included in Homebuilding costs and expenses. (3) Forfeited deposits and write-off of pre-acquisition costs on real estate were included in Homebuilding costs and expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023. (4) Valuation adjustments related to investments in unconsolidated entities were primarily included in Homebuilding other income (expense), net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023. 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. The Company disclosed its accounting policy related to inventories and its review for indicators of impairment in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023. 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. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews its active communities for indicators of potential impairments. The table below summarizes communities reviewed for indicators of impairment and communities with valuation adjustments recorded: Communities with valuation adjustments At or for the Six Months Ended # of active communities # of communities with potential indicator of impairment # of communities Fair Value (in thousands) Valuation Adjustments (in thousands) May 31, 2024 1,245 32 4 $ 25,769 $ 15,263 May 31, 2023 1,256 34 5 42,408 12,247 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: Six Months Ended May 31, 2024 2023 Unobservable inputs Range Range Average selling price (1) $178,000 — 282,000 371,000 — 663,000 Absorption rate per quarter (homes) 10 — 15 6 — 26 Discount rate 20% 20% (1) Represents the projected average selling price on future deliveries for communities in which the Company recorded valuation adjustments during both the six months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company disclosed its accounting policy related to investments in unconsolidated entities and its review for indicators of impairment for the long-lived assets of an unconsolidated entity and the decline in the fair value of an investment below the carrying value in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023. The Company evaluates if a decrease in the fair value of an investment below the 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, (3) the length of the time and the extent to which the market value has been less than cost and (4) various other factors, which include age of the venture, relationships with the other partners and banks, general economic market conditions, land status, length of the time and the extent to which the market value has been below the carrying value, and liquidity needs of the unconsolidated entity. The Company generally estimates the fair value of an investment in an unconsolidated entity by using a cash flow analysis for estimated future net distributions from an unconsolidated entity, subject to the perceived risks associated with the unconsolidated entity’s cash flow streams. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2024, the Company evaluated the fair value of its investments in unconsolidated entities using a cash flow analysis and concluded that the investments had no other-than-temporary impairment. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company estimated the fair value of an investment in an unconsolidated entity using a cash flow analysis with a 15% discount rate and concluded that the investment had an other-than-temporary impairment of $36.8 million included in Homebuilding other income (expense), net in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income. The Company estimates the fair value of investments in unconsolidated entities evaluated for impairment based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the investment is evaluated, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or assumptions change. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities During the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Company evaluated the joint venture (“JV”) agreements of its JVs that were formed or that had reconsideration events, such as changes in the governing documents or to debt arrangements. Based on the Company's evaluation, there were no variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that were consolidated or deconsolidated during the six months ended May 31, 2024. The carrying amount of the Company's consolidated VIEs' assets and non-recourse liabilities are disclosed in the footnote to the condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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 or other debt payable. The assets held by a VIE are usually 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 VIE’s lenders. Other than debt guarantee agreements with VIE’s lenders, 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, but that would require forfeiture of deposits and pre-acquisition costs. Unconsolidated VIEs The Company’s recorded investments in VIEs that are unconsolidated and related estimated maximum exposure to loss were as follows: May 31, 2024 November 30, 2023 (In thousands) Investments in Lennar’s Maximum Investments in Lennar’s Maximum Homebuilding (1) $ 758,560 830,458 659,224 787,226 Multifamily (2) 130,446 134,790 384,718 402,735 Financial Services (3) 138,425 138,425 140,676 140,676 Lennar Other (4) 124,711 124,711 56,009 56,009 $ 1,152,142 1,228,384 1,240,627 1,386,646 (1) As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company's maximum exposure to loss of Homebuilding's investments in unconsolidated VIEs was limited to its investments in unconsolidated VIEs, except with regard to the Company's remaining commitment to fund capital in Upward America of $21.2 million and $69.8 million, respectively. In addition, as of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, there was recourse debt of a VIE of $42.9 million and $42.1 million, respectively. (2) As of May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company's maximum exposure to loss of Multifamily's investments in unconsolidated VIEs was primarily limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs. The maximum exposure for LMV II, in addition to the investment, also included the remaining combined equity commitment of $12.8 million as of November 30, 2023, for expenditures related to the construction and development of its projects. The decrease in exposure as of May 31, 2024 is primarily due to the removal of LMV II as the Fund does not expect to call for equity in the future. As a result, LMV II is not a VIE as of May 31, 2024. (3) As of both May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company's maximum exposure to loss of the Financial Services segment was limited to its investment in the unconsolidated VIEs and related to the Financial Services' CMBS investments held-to-maturity. (4) As of both May 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the Company's maximum recourse exposure to loss of the Lennar Other segment was limited to its investments in the unconsolidated VIEs. The Company and its JV partners generally fund JVs as needed and in accordance with business plans to allow the entities to finance their activities. Because such JVs are expected to make future capital calls in order to continue to finance their activities, the entities are determined to be VIEs as of May 31, 2024 in accordance with ASC 810 due to insufficient equity at risk. 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. 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 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 enable it to control portions of properties owned by third parties (including land banks) until the Company has determined whether to exercise the options. The Company evaluates option contracts with third party land holding companies 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 and makes a significant deposit or pre-acquisition cost investment for optioned land, or is otherwise economically compelled to takedown the optioned land, it may need to consolidate the land under option at the purchase price of the optioned land. Land under option with third party holding companies that the Company was economically compelled to takedown was $2.2 billion as of May 31, 2024 and is included in consolidated inventory not owned. Consolidated inventory not owned related to land financing transactions, which are land sale transactions that did not meet the criteria for revenue recognition and derecognition of land by the Company as a result of the Company maintaining an option to repurchase the land in the future, was $1.5 billion as of May 31, 2024. During the six months ended May 31, 2024, consolidated inventory not owned increased by $761.0 million with a corresponding increase to liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to land financing transactions and the consolidation of homesites under option that the Company is economically compelled to takedown. These increases were partially offset by homesite takedowns. To reflect the purchase price of the homesite takedowns, the Company had a net reclass related to option deposits from consolidated inventory not owned to finished homes and construction in progress in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2024. 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 losses on its option contracts with third parties and unconsolidated entities was as follows: (Dollars in thousands) May 31, 2024 November 30, 2023 Non-refundable option deposits and pre-acquisition costs $ 2,645,428 1,949,219 Non-refundable option deposits included in consolidated inventory not owned 526,064 451,632 Letters of credit in lieu of cash deposits under certain land and option contracts 269,725 198,920 For the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Company purchased a significant portion of land from one land bank (the “Land Bank”). There were no amounts due to the Land Bank as of May 31, 2024, resulting from land purchases as the full purchase price of the land is typically paid to the Land Bank at closing when land is purchased by the Company. As of May 31, 2024, the total deposits and pre-acquisition costs on real estate relating to contracts with the Land Bank were $777.5 million. As of May 31, 2024, total consolidated inventory not owned and liabilities related to consolidated inventory not owned relating to contracts with the Land Bank were $827.1 million and $697.2 million, respectively. |
Commitments and Contingent Liab
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | 6 Months Ended |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities The Company is party to various claims, legal actions and complaints relating to homes sold by the Company 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. From time to time, the Company is also a party to various lawsuits involving purchases and sales of real property. These lawsuits often 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 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. 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 activity in the Company’s warranty reserve, which is included in Homebuilding other liabilities, was as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended May 31, May 31, (In thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Warranty reserve, beginning of the period $ 405,558 403,334 414,796 418,017 Warranties issued 72,572 67,221 134,348 120,900 Adjustments to pre-existing warranties from changes in estimates (1) (381) 14,246 (3,285) 10,188 Payments (74,301) (69,647) (142,411) (133,951) Warranty reserve, end of period $ 403,448 415,154 403,448 415,154 (1) The adjustments to pre-existing warranties from changes in estimates during the three and six months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023 primarily related to specific claims in certain of the Company's homebuilding communities and other adjustments. Leases The Company has entered into agreements to lease certain office facilities and equipment under operating leases. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet for all leases, except leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. Many of the Company's leases include options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's option and therefore renewal option payments have not been included in the ROU assets or lease liabilities. The following table includes additional information about the Company's leases: (Dollars in thousands) May 31, 2024 November 30, 2023 Right-of-use assets $ 151,600 145,812 Lease liabilities 162,571 154,271 Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) 5.2 7.5 Weighted-average discount rate 3.9% 3.4% 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 May 31, 2024 were as follows: (In thousands) Lease Payments 2024 $ 28,703 2025 38,933 2026 26,476 2027 23,950 2028 and thereafter 61,666 Total future minimum lease payments (1) $ 179,728 Less: Interest (2) 17,157 Present value of lease liabilities (2) $ 162,571 (1) Total future minimum lease payments exclude variable lease costs of $21.2 million and short-term lease costs of $2.6 million. (2) The Company's leases do not include a readily determinable implicit rate. As such, the Company has estimated the discount rate for these leases to determine the present value of lease payments at the lease commencement date or as of December 1, 2019, which was the effective date of ASU 2016-02. The Company recognized the lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets within accounts payable and other liabilities of the respective segments. The Company's rental expense on lease liabilities were as follows: Six Months Ended May 31, (In thousands) 2024 2023 Rental expense $ 54,684 52,998 In December 2023, the Company purchased its corporate headquarters building in which the Company had previously leased office space. This building contains approximately 213,200 square feet of office space, of which the Company leases approximately 53,000 square feet of unused office space to other tenants. On occasion, the Company may sublease other rented space which is no longer used for the Company's operations. For both the six months ended May 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had an immaterial amount of sublease income. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting | The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. |
Basis of Consolidation | These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023, as amended ("Form 10-K"). The basis of consolidation is unchanged from the disclosure in the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been made. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”) Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . ASU 2023-09 requires public companies to annually (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2023-09 and does not expect it to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “ Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within the segment measure of profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. The Company is currently reviewing the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-07 may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. |
