Homebuilding revenues of $1,873,331,000 in the third quarter of 2019 increased 4% compared to the third quarter of 2018. Gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2019 increased to 19.0%, compared to 18.6% in the third quarter of 2018.

The decrease in income before tax is primarily due to a 12% decrease in mortgage banking fees, resulting from the timing of loan sales and a decrease in the fair value measurement adjustment.
