With strong demand and constrained industry - wide supply , we have continued to raise prices in excess of cost increases while setting all - time records for contracts and backlog in both units and dollars , and exceeding our guidance on nearly every metric . " These exceptional results reflect the strategic expansion of our product lines and geographies , as well as structural changes we have made in how we operate to focus on driving sustainable increases in profit margins and return on equity . Based on the land we currently control , we are projecting community count growth to 340 communities at fiscal year end , with an additional 10 % growth in fiscal 2022 . " We are encouraged by the continued strength of the housing market , which is supported by a long - term supply - demand imbalance , favorable demographics , especially the drive to home ownership among millennials , low mortgage rates , and the greater overall appreciation for one's home that has emerged out of the pandemic . These market conditions , which we expect to continue into the foreseeable future , play to our strengths of creating luxury communities in desirable locations , offering a broad range of price points , and providing our home buyers the ability to personalize their homes . " Based on the strength of our outlook for the remainder of this year and beyond , we are raising our fiscal year 2021 guidance on nearly all key metrics . We expect continued margin improvement through the second half of fiscal 2021 as well as in 2022 , and we project return on beginning equity in excess of 20 % in fiscal 2022. "
