The news comes a day after the Commerce Department reported that sales of new homes fell in February for the fourth straight month, pushing activity down to a 13-year low. The median price of a new home sold last month dropped to $244,100, 2.7 percent less than the level of a year ago. The median sales price is the point where half the homes sold for more and half for less.

For Lennar, the average sales price of homes delivered dropped to $278,000, down from $303,000 in the year-ago period, partly due to higher sales incentives offered to homebuyers. The company averaged $48,000 in incentives per home delivered in the first quarter, compared to $45,500 per home delivered in the first quarter of 2007.

President and Chief Executive Stuart Miller said supply continues to outstrip demand in the housing market, which lowers the amount of new home sales and depresses prices. Miller said lower consumer confidence also has "quieted demand" among potential buyers.

Lennar is holding off on buying land and adjusting operations to "to protect cash, preserve value and fortify our balance sheet," Miller said.

"Home inventories have been expanding due to the high number of foreclosures, negotiated 'short sales,' and stretched homeowners looking to sell homes they can no longer afford," Miller said. "While sales are occurring and clearing prices are being reached, the pace of overall housing inventory growth is exceeding absorption at the current time."
