−Removed: The high-quality schools and amenities at Great Park Neighborhoods and a strong
−Removed: local economy continue to attract homebuyers to our community.

+Added: Home sales by builders totaled 326 homes in 2022.
+Added: We believe the high-quality schools and amenities at the Great Park Neighborhoods and a strong local economy continue to attract homebuyers to our community.
+Added: Additionally, a limited supply of new home inventory in Orange County has led to strong historical price appreciation among the single family attached and detached products available at the Great Park Neighborhoods.

+Added: We expect that there will be a need for homebuilders to begin buying land in 2023 in order to position themselves for 2024 home sales.
+Added: At December 31, 2022, we had $131.8 million in cash and $125.0 million available under our revolving credit facility, giving us total liquidity of $256.8 million that will allow us to be patient and strategic with our land offerings in 2023.
