The average settlement price in the first quarter of 2024 was $449,200, a decrease of 2% from the first quarter of 2023. Our backlog of homes sold but not settled as of March 31, 2024 increased on a unit basis by 7% to 11,189 units and increased on a dollar basis by 9% to $5.22 billion when compared to the respective backlog unit and dollar balances as of March 31, 2023.

Gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2024 decreased slightly to 24.5%, compared to 24.6% in the first quarter of 2023. Income before tax from the homebuilding segment totaled $441.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 9% when compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Mortgage Banking
Mortgage closed loan production in the first quarter of 2024 totaled $1.38 billion, an increase of 11% when compared to the first quarter of 2023. Income before tax from the mortgage banking segment totaled $29.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 3% when compared to $28.1 million in the first quarter of 2023.
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 16.2% compared to 20.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2024 is primarily attributable to a higher income tax benefit recognized for excess tax benefits from stock option exercises, which totaled $43.8 million and $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
