Larry A. Mizel, MDC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very pleased with our 2016 third quarter results, as our net income increased by 78% year-over-year. Even though our cycle times continued to increase during the quarter based on limited subcontractor availability in many markets, we still increased our home sale revenues by 27% over the prior year, resulting in better leverage of our overhead costs and higher return on equity than a year ago."
Mr. Mizel concluded, "The 2016 third quarter was our tenth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in net new orders, and we achieved our highest third quarter average monthly sales absorption pace in over a decade. Our order results included an increased contribution from our new, more affordable collection of home plans, which are still in the early stages of rollout. With a simpler design, these new plans should ultimately have a positive impact on our overall construction cycle times, which remain a key focus area for the Company as we close out the year."
Homebuilding
Home sale revenues for the 2016 third quarter increased 27% to $575.7 million, primarily driven by a 20% increase in deliveries, which was mostly the result of a 35% year-over-year increase of our homes in beginning backlog, coupled with a 6% increase in average selling price of homes closed. The increase in average selling price was primarily the result of a mix shift to higher-priced submarkets and, to a lesser extent, price increases implemented in the prior year.
For the 2016 third quarter, our gross margin from home sales declined 90 basis points to 15.5% from the same period in 2015 primarily due to increased land and construction costs in certain of our markets and warranty adjustments totaling $1.8 million that resulted from higher than expected warranty related spending. Gross margin for the 2016 third quarter included $4.7 million of inventory impairments, compared with $4.4 million for the same quarter in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the 2016 third quarter were $61.9 million, up $4.5 million from $57.4 million for the same period in 2015. Our SG&A expenses as a percentage of home sale revenue ("SG&A rate") improved by 180 basis points to 10.8% for the 2016 third quarter from 12.6% in the 2015 third quarter. This decrease in our SG&A rate was primarily the result of a 27% increase in home sale revenues.
The dollar value of net new orders for the 2016 third quarter increased 17% year-over-year to $570.3 million. The improvement was the result of a 17% increase in the number of homes sold, driven primarily by our monthly sales absorption rate being up 15% year-over-year. Our average selling price of net new orders was flat from the same period in the prior year, as price increases were offset by a shift in mix to lower price communities, in part related to the introduction of our more affordable product earlier this year.
Our backlog value at the end of the 2016 third quarter was up 37% year-over-year to $1.61 billion. The improvement was due mostly to a 33% increase in the number of units in backlog, which is primarily the result of (1) an increase in net new order activity over the last twelve months for most of our markets, (2) a higher percentage of our backlog coming from build-to-order sales, which are generally in backlog for a longer period of time and, (3) limited subcontractor availability, which has extended our cycle times in most of our larger markets.
Financial Services
Income before taxes for our financial services operations for the 2016 third quarter was $10.4 million, a $2.1 million increase from $8.3 million in the 2015 third quarter. This improvement was primarily the result of (1) year-over-year increases in the dollar value of loans locked, originated, and sold, and (2) higher gains on loans locked and sold.
