The company's average selling price of homes in the fourth quarter rose 17 percent to $351,500, up from $301,100 for the same period of 2013.
The increase stemmed from a shift in the regional mix of homes delivered and higher home selling prices in northern California markets.
Fourth quarter net orders increased 10 percent to 1,706 from a year-earlier, while backlog at November 30, was up 14 percent from a year earlier to 2,909 homes.
