We are one of the nation’s fastest growing private homebuilders by revenue and home closings since 2014. We design, build and sell homes in high growth markets, including Jacksonville, Orlando, Denver, the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and Austin, and, with the acquisition of H&H Homes in October 2020, Charlotte and Raleigh. We employ an asset-light lot acquisition strategy with a focus on the design, construction and sale of single-family entry-level, first-time move-up and second-time move-up homes. To fully serve our homebuyer customers and capture ancillary business opportunities, we also offer title insurance and mortgage banking solutions.
Our asset-light lot acquisition strategy enables us to generally purchase land in a “just-in-time” manner with reduced up-front capital commitments, which in turn has increased our inventory turnover rate, enhanced our strong returns on equity and contributed to our impressive growth. In addition, we believe our asset-light model reduces our balance sheet risk relative to other homebuilders that own a higher percentage of their land supply.
As of September 30, 2020, 99% of our owned and controlled lots were controlled through finished lot option contracts and land bank option contracts including those entered into with our consolidated and non-consolidated joint ventures, compared to the average among the public company homebuilders of 46%. We believe that our asset-light model has been instrumental in our generation of attractive returns on equity of 41% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020 and 34% for the year ended December 31, 2019, substantially exceeding the average returns on equity among the public company homebuilders of 15% and 13%, respectively, for the same periods. We intend to continue to leverage our proven asset-light strategy in furtherance of our growth and stockholder returns objectives.
We are committed to providing exemplary customer service and have a proven expertise in understanding the design needs of our homebuyers. We have received numerous industry awards for architectural and customer service excellence and we believe our commitment to high quality design and customer satisfaction has contributed to our successful track record. Since breaking ground on our first home on January 1, 2009 during an unprecedented downturn in the U.S. homebuilding industry, we have closed over 9,100 home sales through September 30, 2020, have been profitable every year since inception and have never taken an inventory impairment.
After just over a decade of operations, we were, according to Professional Builder’s 2020 Housing Giants list, the 18th largest private homebuilder in the United States based on 2019 revenues and, pro forma for the H&H Acquisition, we would have been the 11th largest private homebuilder based on 2019 revenues of $976.6 million. In addition, our six most successful months since our inception, as measured by volume of net new orders, were recorded in February, May, June, July, August and September 2020, with net new orders of 319, 293, 363, 368, 448 and 343 homes, respectively, as compared to 141, 174, 195, 273, 159 and 154 homes for the same months in 2019.
