After regional homebuilder LGI Homes (LGIH) produced stellar earnings results earlier this month<\/a>, I had high hopes for Century Communities (CCS) as well. CCS’s results for its second quarter were good, but not LGIH-level good. The performance in Texas delivered the most stark contrast. Whereas LGIH demonstrated outstanding sales strength in its core Texas market, CCS was more subdued on its Texas business. {snip}<\/p>\n

In other words, from the lens of upside potential, Atlanta probably has more room for improvement than Colorado. {snip}<\/p>\n

Increased guidance was the best news coming from CCS. {snip}<\/p>\n

This guidance of course includes very bullish expectations for the Atlanta market. The guidance also builds upon second quarter results with impressive year-over-year growth (bolstered by acquisition activity):<\/p>\n
