TABLE OF CONTENTS
PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
NVR, Inc., a Virginia corporation, was formed in 1980 as NVHomes, Inc. Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings, all of which are primarily constructed on a pre-sold basis. To more fully serve customers of our homebuilding operations, we also operate a mortgage banking and title services business. We conduct our homebuilding activities directly. Our mortgage banking operations are operated primarily through a wholly owned subsidiary, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc. (“NVRM”). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “NVR”, “we”, “us” or “our” include NVR, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We are one of the largest homebuilders in the United States. We operate in thirty-seven metropolitan areas in sixteen states, and Washington, D.C. Our homebuilding operations include the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings under three trade names: Ryan Homes, NVHomes and Heartland Homes. Our Ryan Homes product is marketed primarily to first-time and first-time move-up buyers. Ryan Homes operates in thirty-seven metropolitan areas located in Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Delaware, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky. Our NVHomes and Heartland Homes products are marketed primarily to move-up and luxury buyers. NVHomes operates in Delaware, New Jersey, and the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA metropolitan areas. Heartland Homes operates in the Pittsburgh, PA metropolitan area.
We generally do not engage in land development (see discussion below of our land development activities). Instead, we typically acquire finished building lots from various third-party land developers pursuant to fixed price lot purchase agreements (“LPAs”) that require deposits that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the LPAs. The deposits required under the LPAs are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and typically range up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots.
We believe that our lot acquisition strategy avoids the financial requirements and risks associated with direct land ownership and land development. We may, at our option, choose for any reason and at any time not to perform under these LPAs by delivering notice of our intent not to acquire the finished lots under contract. Our sole legal obligation and economic loss for failure to perform under these LPAs is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provision contained within the LPAs. We do not have any financial guarantees or completion obligations and we typically do not guarantee lot purchases on a specific performance basis under these LPAs. None of the creditors of any of the development entities with which we have entered these LPAs have recourse to our general credit. We generally seek to maintain control over a supply of lots believed to be suitable to meet our five-year business plan.
In addition to constructing homes primarily on a pre-sold basis and utilizing what we believe is a conservative lot acquisition strategy, we focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our markets, which we believe contributes to minimizing the adverse effects of regional economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these markets. Our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build. As a result, in certain specific strategic circumstances we deviate from our historical lot acquisition strategy and engage in joint venture arrangements with land developers or directly acquire raw ground already zoned for its intended use for development. Once we acquire control of raw ground, we generally sell the raw parcel to a developer and enter into an LPA with the developer to purchase the finished lots or, on a limited basis, hire a developer to develop the land on our behalf. While joint venture arrangements and direct land development activity are not our preferred method of acquiring finished building lots, we may enter into additional transactions in the future on a limited basis where there exists a compelling strategic or prudent financial reason to do so. We expect, however, to continue to acquire substantially all of our finished lot inventory using LPAs with forfeitable deposits. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of this Form 10-K for additional discussion of lots controlled. In addition, see Notes 3, 4 and 5 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding LPAs, joint ventures and land under development, respectively.
We provide a number of mortgage and title-related services through our mortgage banking operations. Through operations in each of our homebuilding markets, NVRM originates mortgage loans exclusively for our homebuyers. NVRM generates revenues primarily from origination fees, gains on sales of loans and title fees. NVRM sells the mortgage loans it closes into the secondary markets primarily on a servicing released basis.
Segment information for our homebuilding and mortgage banking businesses is included in Note 2 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Homebuilding
Products
We offer single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominiums with many different home designs. These home designs have a variety of elevations and numerous other options. Our homes combine traditional, transitional, cottage or urban exterior designs with contemporary interior designs and amenities, generally include two to five bedrooms and range from approximately 900 to 7,000 finished square feet. During 2025, the prices at which we settled homes ranged from approximately $170,000 to $2.3 million. The average price of homes settled was $460,600 and $450,700 in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Markets
Our four reportable homebuilding segments operate in the following geographic regions:
| Mid Atlantic: | Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Washington, D.C. | |||||||
| North East: | New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania | |||||||
| Mid East: | New York, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois | |||||||
| South East: | North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia and Kentucky |
Backlog
Backlog, which represents homes sold but not yet settled with the customer, totaled 8,448 units and approximately $4.0 billion as of December 31, 2025 compared to 9,953 units and approximately $4.8 billion as of December 31, 2024. The average price of homes in backlog decreased to $474,400 as of December 31, 2025 from $481,400 as of December 31, 2024. Backlog may be impacted by customer cancellations for various reasons that are beyond our control, such as the customer’s failure to obtain mortgage financing, inability to sell an existing home, job loss or a variety of other reasons. In any period, a portion of the cancellations that we experience are related to new sales that occurred during the same period, and a portion are related to sales that occurred in prior periods and therefore appeared in the opening backlog for the current period. Expressed as the total of all cancellations during the period as a percentage of gross sales during the period, our cancellation rate was approximately 17%, 14% and 13% in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. During the four quarters of each of 2025, 2024 and 2023, approximately 6%, 5% and 4% of a reporting quarter’s opening backlog, respectively, cancelled during the quarter. We can provide no assurance that our historical cancellation rates are indicative of the actual cancellation rate that may occur in future periods. Other than those units that are cancelled, we expect to settle substantially all of our December 31, 2025 backlog during 2026. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A and “Seasonality” in Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
Further discussion of settlements, new orders and backlog activity by our homebuilding reportable segment for each of the last three years can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
Construction
We utilize independent subcontractors under fixed price contracts to perform construction work on our homes. We use many independent subcontractors in our various markets and we are not dependent on any single subcontractor or on a small number of subcontractors.
Sales and Marketing
Our preferred marketing method is for customers to visit a furnished model home featuring many built-in options and a landscaped lot. The garages of these model homes are usually converted into temporary sales centers. Sales representatives are compensated predominantly on a commission basis.
Regulation
We, in addition to our subcontractors, developers and vendors must comply with various federal, state and local zoning, building, environmental, advertising and consumer credit statutes, rules and regulations, as well as other regulations and requirements in connection with our construction and sales activities. All of these regulations have increased the cost to produce and market our products, and in some instances, have delayed our developers’ ability to deliver finished lots to us. Counties and cities in which we build homes have at times declared moratoriums on the issuance of building permits and imposed other restrictions in the areas in which sewage treatment facilities and other public facilities do not reach minimum standards. In addition, our homebuilding operations are regulated in certain areas by restrictive zoning and density requirements that limit the number, design and size of homes that can be built within the boundaries of a particular area. To date, restrictive zoning laws and the imposition of moratoriums have not had a material adverse effect on our construction activities.
Competition and Market Factors
The housing industry is highly competitive. We compete with numerous homebuilders of varying size, ranging from local to national in scope, some of which have greater financial resources than we do. We also compete with the home resale market. Our
homebuilding operations compete primarily on the basis of price, location, design, quality, service and reputation. Historically, we have been one of the market leaders in each of the markets where we build homes.
The housing industry is cyclical and is affected by consumer confidence levels, prevailing economic conditions and interest rates. Other factors that affect the housing industry and the demand for new homes include: the availability and the cost of land, labor and materials; changes in consumer preferences; demographic trends; and the availability of mortgage finance programs. Additionally, we are dependent upon building material suppliers for a continuous flow of raw materials. Whenever possible, we utilize standard products available from multiple sources. In the past, such raw materials have been generally available to us in adequate supply, however, increased construction activity and demand for building materials could lead to supply chain disruptions. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding these risks.
Mortgage Banking
We provide a number of mortgage related services to our homebuilding customers through our mortgage banking operations. Our mortgage banking operations also include separate subsidiaries that broker title insurance and perform title searches for which they receive commissions and fees. Because NVRM originates mortgage loans exclusively for our homebuilding customers, NVRM is dependent on our homebuilding segment. In 2025, NVRM closed approximately 16,400 loans with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.0 billion as compared to approximately 17,300 loans with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.3 billion in 2024. NVRM’s mortgage loans in process that had not closed had an aggregate principal balance of approximately $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2025 compared to approximately $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2024.
NVRM sells the mortgage loans it closes to investors in the secondary markets primarily on a servicing released basis, typically within 30 days from the loan closing. NVRM is an approved seller/servicer for Fannie Mae (“FNMA”) and Freddie Mac ("FHLMC") mortgage loans and an approved seller/issuer/servicer of Ginnie Mae (“GNMA”), Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) mortgage loans.
Regulation
NVRM is subject to the rules and regulations of FNMA, GNMA, FHLMC, VA and FHA. These rules and regulations restrict certain activities of NVRM. NVRM is currently eligible and expects to remain eligible to participate in such programs. In addition, NVRM is subject to regulation at the state and federal level, including regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) with respect to specific origination, selling and servicing practices.
Competition and Market Factors
NVRM’s main competition comes from national, regional, and local mortgage bankers, mortgage brokers, credit unions and banks in each of these markets. NVRM competes primarily on the basis of customer service, variety of products offered, interest rates offered, prices of ancillary services and relative financing availability and costs.
Human Capital
As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 6,300 full time employees, of whom approximately 5,320 worked in our homebuilding operations, and approximately 980 worked in our mortgage banking operations, compared to December 31, 2024, when we had approximately 7,000 full time employees, of whom approximately 5,930 worked in our homebuilding operations, and approximately 1,070 worked in our mortgage banking operations. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Our employees are our most important asset. We are committed to continually developing an inclusive culture that attracts a diverse workforce and enables them to contribute to the success of the company by emphasizing their unique perspectives and backgrounds. All of our employees must adhere to our code of ethics and standards of business conduct that sets standards for appropriate behavior in the workplace. Our compensation philosophy has been consistent for over 30 years and is designed to motivate and retain highly qualified and experienced employees.
We provide tools for the advancement of our employees by offering training and development opportunities that align with each employee’s responsibilities and career path. We strive to promote employees from within our workforce, as we believe this provides both long-term success and continuity to our operations and growth for our employees. Our focus is demonstrated by the tenure of our executives and our regional and division leaders.

We undertake no obligation to update such forward-looking statements except as required by law.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business is affected by the risks generally incident to the residential construction business, including, but not limited to:
-
actual and expected changes in interest rates, which affect the availability of mortgage financing for potential purchasers of homes;
-
the availability of adequate land in desirable locations on favorable terms;
-
employment levels, consumer confidence and spending and unexpected changes in customer preferences; and
-
changes in the national economy and in the local economies of the markets in which we operate.
All of these risks are discussed in detail below.
Business and Industry Risks
An economic downturn or decline in economic conditions could adversely affect our business and our results of operations.
Demand for new homes is sensitive to economic changes driven by conditions such as employment levels, job and wage growth, and consumer confidence. If the economy suffers a downturn, our sales may decline which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
Interest rate movements, inflation and other economic factors can negatively impact our business.
High rates of inflation generally affect the homebuilding industry adversely because of their impact on interest rates and costs. High interest rates not only increase the cost of borrowed funds to homebuilders and developers but also have a significant adverse effect on the affordability of mortgage financing to prospective purchasers and the demand for housing. We are also subject to potential volatility in the price of commodities that impact costs of materials used in our homebuilding business. Increases in prevailing interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
Our mortgage banking business is also affected by interest rate fluctuations. We also may experience secondary marketing losses resulting from daily movements in interest rates to the extent we are unable to match interest rates and amounts on loans we
have committed to originate with forward commitments from third parties to purchase such loans. Volatility in interest rates may have a material adverse effect on our mortgage banking revenue, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
Our financial results also are affected by other risks attributable to our mortgage banking business, including the impact of government regulation on mortgage loan originations and servicing and the need to issue forward commitments to fund and sell mortgage loans. Our homebuilding customers account for all of our mortgage banking business. The volume of our continuing homebuilding operations therefore affects our mortgage banking business.
Our operations may also be adversely affected by other economic factors within our markets such as negative changes in employment levels, job growth, wage growth, consumer confidence and household formation and availability of mortgage financing, one or all of which could result in reduced demand or price depression from current levels. Such negative trends could have a material adverse effect on homebuilding operations.
These factors and thus, the homebuilding and mortgage banking businesses, have at times in the past been cyclical in nature. Any downturn in the national economy or the local economies of the markets in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance and ability to service our debt obligations.
Because almost all of our customers require mortgage financing, limited availability of suitable mortgage financing could impair the affordability of our homes, lower demand for our products, and increase cancellation of homes in our backlog.
Our business and earnings depend on the ability of our potential customers to obtain mortgages for the purchase of our homes. In addition, many of our potential customers must sell their existing homes in order to buy a home from us. The tightening of credit standards and limited availability of suitable mortgage financing could prevent customers from buying our homes and could prevent buyers of our customers’ homes from obtaining mortgages they need to complete that purchase, either of which could result in potential customers’ inability to buy a home from us. If potential customers or the buyers of our customers’ current homes are not able to obtain suitable mortgage financing, the result could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
If our ability to sell mortgages to investors is impaired, we may be required to fund these commitments ourselves, or we may not be able to originate loans at all. Our mortgage banking business sells all of the loans it originates into the secondary market, usually within 30 days from the date of closing, and has up to $150 million available under a repurchase agreement to fund mortgage closings. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of this Form 10-K for more information about the repurchase agreement. In the event that disruptions to the secondary markets tighten or eliminate the available liquidity for mortgage loans in the secondary markets, or the underwriting requirements imposed by secondary market investors and federal agencies become more stringent, our ability to sell future mortgages could be adversely impacted. In such circumstances, we could be required, among other things, to fund our commitments to our buyers with our own financial resources, which are limited, or require our home buyers to find another source of financing. The result of such secondary market disruption could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
If the market value of our inventory or controlled lot position declines, our profit could decrease and we may incur losses.
Inventory risk can be substantial for homebuilders. The market value of building lots and housing inventories can fluctuate significantly as a result of changing market conditions. In addition, inventory carrying costs can be significant and can result in losses in a poorly performing community or market. We must continuously acquire lots for expansion into new markets as well as for replacement and expansion within our current markets, which we generally accomplish by entering into LPAs and paying forfeitable deposits under the LPAs to developers for the contractual right to acquire the lots. In the event of adverse changes in economic, market or community conditions, we may cease further building activities in certain communities or restructure existing LPAs, resulting in forfeiture of some or all of any remaining land contract deposit paid to the developer. We may also have significant impairments of land under development. The forfeiture of land contract deposits or inventory impairments may result in a loss that could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
We face competition in our homebuilding and mortgage banking operations.
The homebuilding industry is highly competitive. We compete with numerous homebuilders of varying size, ranging from local to national in scope, some of whom have greater financial resources than we do. We face competition:
-
for suitable and desirable lots at acceptable prices;
-
from selling incentives offered by competing builders within and across developments; and
-
from the existing home resale market.
Our homebuilding operations compete primarily on the basis of price, location, design, quality, service and reputation.
The mortgage banking industry is also competitive. Our main competition comes from national, regional and local mortgage bankers, credit unions, banks and mortgage brokers in each of these markets. Our mortgage banking operations compete primarily on the basis of customer service, variety of products offered, interest rates offered, prices of ancillary services and relative financing availability and costs.
We might not be able to continue to compete successfully in our homebuilding or mortgage banking operations, which could have an adverse impact on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
Any inability to secure and control an adequate inventory of lots could adversely impact our operations.
The results of our homebuilding operations depend upon our continuing ability to control an adequate number of homebuilding lots in desirable locations. There can be no assurance that an adequate supply of building lots will continue to be available to us on terms similar to those available in the past, or that we will not be required to devote a greater amount of capital to controlling building lots than we have historically. An insufficient supply of building lots in one or more of our markets, an inability of our developers to deliver finished lots in a timely fashion, or our inability to purchase or finance building lots on reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
A shortage of building materials or labor, or increases in materials or labor costs may adversely impact our operations.
The homebuilding business has from time to time experienced building material and labor shortages, including fluctuating lumber prices and supply. In addition, strong construction market conditions could restrict the labor force available to our subcontractors and us in one or more of our markets. We may also be adversely impacted by governmental policy initiatives which could impact labor availability or construction costs. Significant increases in costs resulting from these market conditions, or delays in construction of homes, could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
We rely on subcontractors to construct our homes. The failure of our subcontractors to properly construct our homes may be costly.
We engage subcontractors to perform the actual construction of our homes. Despite our quality control efforts, we may discover that our subcontractors have engaged in improper construction practices. The occurrence of such events could require us to repair the homes in accordance with our standards and as required by law, and/or could adversely affect our reputation with customers. The cost of satisfying our legal obligations in these instances may be significant, and we may be unable to recover the cost of repairs from subcontractors, suppliers and insurers.
Product liability litigation and warranty claims may adversely impact our operations.
Construction defect and home warranty claims are common and can represent a substantial risk for our homebuilding operations. The cost of construction defect and product liability claims can be high.Significant increases in claims could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
We are subject to litigation proceedings that could harm our business if an unfavorable ruling were to occur.
From time to time, we are involved in litigation and other legal proceedings relating to claims arising from our operations in the normal course of business. As described in, but not limited to, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” of this Form 10-K, we are currently subject to certain legal proceedings. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings may occur. These or other litigation or legal proceedings could materially affect our ability to conduct our business in the manner that we expect or otherwise adversely affect us should an unfavorable ruling occur.
If the underwriting quality of our mortgage originations is found to be deficient, our profit could decrease and we may incur losses.
We originate several different loan products to our customers to finance the purchase of their home. We sell all of the loans we originate into the secondary mortgage market, generally within 30 days from the date of closing. All of the loans that we originate are underwritten to the standards and specifications of the ultimate investor. Insofar as we underwrite our originated loans to those standards, we bear no increased concentration of credit risk from the issuance of loans, except in certain limited instances where repurchases or early payment defaults occur. In the event that a substantial number of the loans that we have originated fall into default and the investors to whom we sold the loans determine that we did not underwrite the loans in accordance with their requirements, we could be required to repurchase the loans from the investor or indemnify the investor for any losses incurred. Any resulting losses could have a material adverse effect on our profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
We may be subject to claims on mortgage loans sold to third parties.
Our mortgage banking operations may be responsible for losses associated with mortgage loans originated and sold to investors in the event of errors or omissions relating to certain representations and warranties that the loans sold meet certain requirements, including representations as to underwriting standards, the type of collateral, the existence of private mortgage insurance, and the
validity of certain borrower representations in connection with the loan. The resolution of claims related to alleged breaches of these representations and warranties and repurchase claims could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations and could result in losses that exceed existing estimates and accruals. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating these matters, there can be no assurance that any amounts reserved will be adequate or that any potential inadequacies will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
The loss of key personnel could adversely impact our business.
We rely on our key personnel to effectively operate and manage our business. Specifically, our future success depends heavily on the performance of our senior management team. Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to retain key personnel or attract qualified personnel to manage our business.
Cybersecurity incidents affecting our electronic and other confidential information could expose us to liability and materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Privacy, security, and compliance concerns have continued to increase as technology has evolved. As part of our normal business activities, we collect and store certain confidential information, including personal information of homebuyers/borrowers and information about employees, vendors and suppliers, some of which is processed and stored on third-party vendor platforms. This information is entitled to protection under a number of federal and state laws. We may share some of this information with vendors who assist us with certain aspects of our business, particularly our mortgage and title businesses.
We have implemented systems and processes intended to secure our information technology systems and prevent unauthorized access to or loss of sensitive, confidential and personal data, including through the use of encryption and authentication technologies. Additionally, we have continued to elevate our monitoring capabilities to enhance early detection and rapid response to potential security anomalies. Our management team regularly reviews our response readiness and completes tabletop exercises on potential cybersecurity incidents with the assistance of a third-party cybersecurity consultant. We also require employees to complete training sessions regarding matters such as cybersecurity threats and data protection on a regular basis. These security measures may not be sufficient for all possible occurrences and our information technology systems may remain vulnerable to hacking, employee error, malfeasance, system error, faulty password management or other irregularities. Further, development and maintenance of these measures are costly and require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become increasingly sophisticated. The rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may also heighten our cybersecurity risks by making cyber-attacks more difficult to detect, contain, and mitigate.
Our failure to maintain the security of the data we are required to protect, including via the penetration of our network security and the misappropriation of confidential and personal information, could result in business disruption, damage to our reputation, financial obligations to third parties, fines, penalties, regulatory proceedings and private litigation with potentially large costs, and also in deterioration in customers’ confidence in us and other competitive disadvantages, and thus could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
Volatility in the credit and capital markets may impact our ability to access necessary financing.
If we require working capital greater than that provided by our operations and our credit facility, we may be required to seek to increase the amount available under the facility or seek alternative financing, which might not be available on terms that are favorable or acceptable. If we are required to seek financing to fund our working capital requirements, volatility in credit or capital markets may restrict our flexibility to access financing. If we are at any time unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient capital to fund our planned homebuilding expenditures, we may experience a substantial delay in the completion of homes then under construction, or we may be unable to control or purchase finished building lots. Any delay could result in cost increases and could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
Our mortgage banking operations depend in part on the availability, cost and other terms of mortgage financing facilities, and may be adversely affected by any shortage or increased cost of such financing. Additional or replacement financing might not be available on terms that are favorable or acceptable. Our mortgage banking operations are also dependent upon the securitization market for mortgage-backed securities, and could be materially adversely affected by any fluctuation or downturn in such market.
Our current indebtedness may impact our future operations.
As of December 31, 2025 we had $900 million in senior notes outstanding. Our existing indebtedness contains restrictive covenants and any future indebtedness may also contain such covenants. These covenants include, or could include, restrictions on our ability to create, incur, assume or guarantee secured debt, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and conditions related to mergers and/or the sale of assets. Substantial losses by us or other action or inaction by us or our subsidiaries could result in the violation of one or more of these covenants, which could result in decreased liquidity or a default on our current or future indebtedness, thereby having a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
Regulatory Risks
Government regulations and environmental matters could negatively affect our operations.
We are subject to various local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning zoning, building design, construction and similar matters, including local regulations that impose restrictive zoning and density requirements in order to limit the size and number of homes that can be built within the boundaries of a particular area. These regulations may further increase the cost to produce and market our products. In addition, we have from time to time been subject to, and may also be subject in the future to, periodic delays in our homebuilding projects due to building moratoriums in the areas in which we operate or delays in receiving the necessary governmental approvals. Changes in regulations that restrict homebuilding activities in one or more of our principal markets could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, stock performance, ability to service our debt obligations and future cash flows.
In addition, new housing developments are often subject to various assessments or impact fees for schools, parks, streets, highways and other public improvements. The cost of these assessments is subject to substantial change and could cause increases in the construction cost of our homes, which, in turn, could reduce our profitability.
We are also subject to a variety of local, state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning the protection of health and the environment. We are subject to a variety of environmental conditions that can affect our business and our homebuilding projects. The particular environmental laws that apply to any given homebuilding site vary greatly according to the location and environmental condition of the site and the present and former uses of the site and adjoining properties. Environmental laws and conditions may result in delays, cause us to incur substantial compliance and other costs, or prohibit or severely restrict homebuilding activity in certain environmentally sensitive regions or areas.
In recent years, an increasing number of state and federal regulations have been enacted or proposed to reduce the impact of greenhouse gas emissions and other human activities on climate change. Some of these regulations relate to matters such as restrictions and reporting on carbon dioxide emissions and higher building code energy efficiency standards. The impact of such restrictions and requirements on us and our suppliers could increase our operating and compliance costs, as well as the cost of materials used in the building process. Higher operating costs could negatively impact our profitability.
Increased regulation of the mortgage industry could harm our future sales and earnings.
The mortgage industry is subject to regulation at the federal, state and local level. Potential changes to federal laws and regulations could have the effect of limiting the activities of FNMA, GNMA and FHLMC, the entities that provide liquidity to the secondary mortgage market, which could lead to increases in mortgage interest rates. Tighter underwriting requirements and fee restrictions and the increasingly complex regulatory environment may negatively impact our mortgage loan origination business in the form of higher interest rates, lower demand, decreased revenue and increased operating costs.
We are an approved seller/servicer of FNMA and FHLMC mortgage loans and an approved seller/issuer/servicer of GNMA, VA and FHA mortgage loans, and are subject to all of those agencies’ rules and regulations. Any significant impairment of our eligibility to sell/service these loans could have a material adverse impact on our mortgage operations. In addition, we are subject to regulation at the state and federal level with respect to specific origination, selling and servicing practices including the Real Estate Settlement and Protection Act. Adverse changes in governmental regulation may have a negative impact on our mortgage loan origination business.
Risks Related to Other External Risks
Health epidemics could have an adverse impact on our business and operations, and the markets, states and local communities in which we operate.
Our business and operations could be adversely affected by health epidemics, impacting the markets, states and local communities in which we operate. There is no guarantee that a future health epidemic will not occur, which could result in uncertainty regarding governmental actions that may occur, and the effects of economic relief efforts on the U.S. economy, either of which could be potential disruptors to our business. These disruptions could lower demand for our products, impair our ability to sell and/or build homes in our normal manner, increase our losses on contract land deposits, and negatively impact our lending and secondary mortgage market activities. These developments and other consequences of an outbreak could materially and adversely affect our operations, profitability and cash flows.
Weather-related and other events beyond our control may adversely impact our operations.
Extreme weather or other events, such as significant hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, forest fires, floods, snowfalls, terrorist attacks or war may affect our markets, our operations and our profitability. These events may impact our physical facilities or those of our suppliers or subcontractors and our housing inventories, causing us material increases in costs, or delays in construction of homes.
In addition, severe weather conditions and natural disasters may increase the cost of homeowner's insurance or potentially reduce insurance availability which could negatively impact demand in certain of our markets perceived to be more vulnerable to increased severe weather events and other impacts of climate change.
Our continued success is dependent on positive perceptions of us and our brands which, if eroded, could adversely affect our business and our relationships with our customers.
We believe that one of the reasons our customers buy from us, our employees choose NVR as a place of employment, and our vendors choose to do business with us is the reputation we have built over many years. To be successful in the future, we must continue to preserve our reputation. Reputational value is based in large part on perceptions, and broad access to social media makes it easy for anyone to provide public feedback that can influence perceptions of the brands under which we do business. It may be difficult to control negative publicity, regardless of whether it is accurate. While reputations may take decades to build, negative incidents can quickly erode trust and confidence, could damage our reputation, reduce the demand for our homes or negatively impact the morale and performance of our employees, all of which could adversely affect our business.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
Risk Management and Strategy
We have implemented systems and processes intended to secure our information technology systems and prevent unauthorized access to or loss of sensitive, confidential and personal data. These processes are implemented and overseen primarily by our Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). Our CIO has over 35 years of experience and in his 21 years at NVR has been responsible for the implementation and modernization of many of our key technologies across the enterprise. Our CISO has over 25 years of experience in information technology architecture, including over 20 years with NVR in progressively more senior information security roles.
Significant information technology processes that have been implemented include:
- vulnerability management to help ensure security updates are effectively applied,
- utilization of encryption and multi-factor authentication technologies to protect company data,
- regular required training for all employees with systems access regarding matters such as cybersecurity threats and data protection, and utilization of simulated phishing tests to increase security awareness,
- regular review of third-party service providers, including review of their system and organization controls (SOC) reports,
- enhanced monitoring capabilities for early detection and rapid response to potential security incidents,
- documented incident response readiness process updated annually,
- completion of annual tabletop exercises on potential cybersecurity breaches with the assistance of a third-party cybersecurity consultant, and
- annual review of information technology disaster recovery and business continuity processes to help ensure the ability to resume work after an incident.
Review of these processes has been incorporated into our annual risk assessment and internal audits of controls performed by our Internal Audit department. Results of these audits are reported to the Audit Committee by our Vice President of Internal Audit and Corporate Governance.
As previously discussed in Item 1A of this Form 10-K "Risk Factors", failure to maintain the security of the data we are required to protect could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we have not had any known instances of material cybersecurity incidents, including third-party incidents, during any of the prior three fiscal years that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
Governance
Our Audit Committee is required under its charter to periodically review our data privacy and information security programs. Our Audit Committee assists our Board in oversight and monitoring of our cybersecurity processes, including systems to collect and store confidential information, ongoing initiatives, current threats and our response readiness to cybersecurity attacks.
Our CIO and CISO communicate directly with members of the Audit Committee and Board of Directors on cybersecurity matters. In 2025, our CIO and CISO presented updates on our cybersecurity initiatives quarterly; twice to our Audit Committee and twice to our full Board.
Item 2. Properties.
Our corporate offices are located in Reston, Virginia, where we currently lease approximately 61,000 square feet of office space. In 2025, we entered into a lease agreement for office space in Reston, Virginia to replace our current corporate office lease which expires in October 2026. The lease is expected to commence September 2026 and is for approximately 68,000 square feet of office space with a lease term of 11 years.
In connection with both our homebuilding and mortgage banking businesses, we also lease office space in multiple locations for homebuilding divisional offices and mortgage banking and title services branches under leases expiring at various times through 2033, none of which are individually material to our business.
In connection with the operation of the homebuilding business, we lease production facilities in the following ten locations: Thurmont, Maryland; Burlington County, New Jersey; Farmington, New York; Kings Mountain, North Carolina; Darlington, Pennsylvania; Portland, Tennessee; Richmond, Virginia; Fayetteville, North Carolina, Lavonia, Georgia and Haines City, Florida. These facilities range in size from approximately 40,000 square feet to 400,000 square feet and total approximately 1.5 million square feet. Each of these leases contains various options for extensions of the lease and for the purchase of the facility. Additionally, certain facility leases have early termination options. These leases currently expire between 2027 and 2040. In addition, we own a production facility of approximately 100,000 square feet in Dayton, Ohio. Our plant utilization was 45% and 49% of total capacity in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We anticipate that, upon expiration of existing production facility and office leases, we will be able to renew them or obtain comparable facilities on terms acceptable to us.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We are involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, and based on advice of legal counsel, these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs incurred in connection with outstanding litigation matters are expensed as incurred.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Our shares of common stock are listed and principally traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “NVR.” As of the close of business on February 9, 2026, there were 142 shareholders of record of our common stock.
We have never paid a cash dividend on our shares of common stock and have no current intention to do so in the future.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we had two share repurchase authorizations outstanding. On May 6, 2025 and August 8, 2025, we publicly announced that our Board of Directors had approved new repurchase authorizations in the amount of up to $750 million per authorization. Each share repurchase authorization authorized the repurchase of our outstanding common stock in one or more open market and/or privately negotiated transactions, with no expiration date. In addition, the repurchase authorizations specifically prohibit us from purchasing shares from our officers, directors, Profit Sharing Plan Trust or Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust. Repurchase activity is typically executed in accordance with the safe-harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The following table provides information regarding common stock repurchases during the quarter ended December 31, 2025:

Results of Operations
This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses 2025 and 2024 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2025 and 2024. Discussions of 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2024 and 2023 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Overview
Business Environment and Current Outlook
Demand for new homes continues to be negatively impacted by affordability issues, high home inventory levels in certain markets, declining consumer confidence and economic volatility. As a result of this weak demand environment in the second half of 2025, we repositioned many communities to better compete for a reduced number of buyers. We expect these adjustments to have a materially negative impact on our gross margins during the first half of 2026 as the homes in our backlog settle. We also expect a significant decline in revenues in the first quarter of 2026 due to weak orders in the third quarter of 2025 and strong fourth quarter 2025 backlog turnover.
We expect this weak demand environment may continue to weigh on home sales, home prices and gross margins during 2026. Although we are unable to predict the extent to which this will impact our operational and financial performance, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of opportunities that may arise from future economic and homebuilding market volatility due to the strength of our balance sheet and our disciplined lot acquisition strategy.
Business
Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominiums, all of which are primarily constructed on a pre-sold basis. To fully serve customers of our homebuilding operations, we also operate a mortgage banking and title services business. We primarily conduct our operations in mature markets. Additionally, we generally grow our business through market share gains in our existing markets and by expanding into markets contiguous to our current active markets. Our four homebuilding reportable segments consist of the following regions:
| Mid Atlantic: | Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware and Washington, D.C. | |||||||
| North East: | New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania | |||||||
| Mid East: | New York, Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois | |||||||
| South East: | North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky |
Our lot acquisition strategy is predicated upon avoiding the financial risks associated with direct land ownership and development. We generally do not engage in land development (see discussion below of our land development activities). Instead, we typically acquire finished lots from various third-party land developers pursuant to LPAs. These LPAs require deposits, typically ranging up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots, in the form of cash or letters of credit that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the LPA. This strategy has allowed us to maximize inventory turnover, which we believe enables us to minimize market risk and to operate with less capital, thereby enhancing rates of return on equity and total capital.
In addition to constructing homes primarily on a pre-sold basis and utilizing what we believe is a conservative lot acquisition strategy, we focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our markets, which we believe contributes to minimizing the adverse effects of regional economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these markets. Our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build.
In certain specific strategic circumstances, we deviate from our historical lot acquisition strategy and engage in joint venture arrangements with land developers or directly acquire raw ground already zoned for its intended use for development. Once we acquire raw ground, we determine whether to sell the raw parcel to a developer and enter into an LPA with the developer to purchase the finished lots or to hire a developer to develop the land on our behalf. While joint venture arrangements and direct land development activity are not our preferred method of acquiring finished building lots, we may enter into additional transactions in the future on a limited basis where there exists a compelling strategic or prudent financial reason to do so. We expect, however, to continue to acquire substantially all of our finished lot inventory using LPAs with forfeitable deposits.
As of December 31, 2025, we controlled approximately 180,100 lots as described below.
Lot Purchase Agreements ("LPAs")
We controlled approximately 169,250 lots under LPAs with third parties through deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $920,100 and $4,600, respectively. Included in the number of controlled lots are approximately 18,200 lots for which we have recorded a contract land deposit impairment allowance of approximately $111,000 as of December 31, 2025.
Joint Venture Limited Liability Corporations (“JVs”)
We had an aggregate investment totaling approximately $78,100 in five JVs, expected to produce approximately 8,900 lots. Of the lots to be produced by the JVs, approximately 8,550 lots were controlled by us and approximately 350 lots were either under contract with unrelated parties or currently not under contract. We had additional funding commitments totaling approximately $34,100 to three of the JVs as of December 31, 2025.
Land Under Development
We owned land with a carrying value of approximately $39,300 that we expect to be developed into approximately 2,300 finished lots.
See Notes 3, 4 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information regarding LPAs, JVs and land under development, respectively.
Raw Land Purchase Agreements
In addition to the lots we currently control as discussed above, we have certain properties under contract with land owners that are expected to yield approximately 38,200 lots. Some of these properties may require rezoning or other approvals to achieve the expected yield. These properties are controlled with cash deposits totaling approximately $42,300 as of December 31, 2025, of which approximately $9,000 is refundable if we do not perform under the contract. We generally expect to assign the raw land contracts to a land developer and simultaneously enter into an LPA with the assignee if the project is determined to be feasible.
Key Financial Results
Our consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $10,323,959, a decrease of 2% from $10,524,479 in 2024. Our net income for 2025 was $1,339,816, or $436.55 per diluted share, decreases of 20% and 14% compared to 2024 net income and diluted earnings per share, respectively. Our homebuilding gross profit margin percentage was 21.2% in 2025 compared to 23.7% in 2024. Settlements for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled 21,915 units, a decrease of 4% from 2024. New orders, net of cancellations (“New Orders”) during 2025 totaled 20,410 units, a decrease of 10% from 2024 while our average New Order sales price remained relatively flat year over year. Our backlog of homes sold but not yet settled with the customer as of December 31, 2025 decreased on a unit basis by 15% to 8,448 units and decreased on a dollar basis by 16% to $4,008,043 when compared to Decembe

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
(dollars in thousands)
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our market risk arises from interest rate risk inherent in our financial instruments and debt obligations. Interest rate risk results from the possibility that changes in interest rates will cause unfavorable changes in net income or in the value of interest rate-sensitive assets, liabilities and commitments. Lower interest rates tend to increase demand for mortgage loans for home purchasers, while higher interest rates make it more difficult for potential borrowers to purchase residential properties and to qualify for mortgage loans. We have no market rate sensitive instruments held for speculative or trading purposes.
We are exposed to interest rate risk as it relates to our fixed rate debt, primarily our Senior Notes and our variable rate credit facility and loan repurchase facility. Changes to interest rates generally affect the fair value of fixed-rate debt instruments, but not earnings or cash flows. For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally will not affect the fair value of the variable debt instruments but will affect earnings and cash flow. As of December 31, 2025, there was no debt outstanding under our credit facility or loan repurchase facility. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion of these debt instruments.
Our mortgage banking segment is exposed to interest rate risk as it relates to its lending activities, including originating mortgage loans and providing rate lock commitments to borrowers. To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing rate lock commitments to borrowers, we enter into optional or mandatory delivery forward sales contracts to sell whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to investors. The forward sales contracts lock-in a range of interest rates and prices for the sale of loans similar to the specific rate lock commitments. We do not engage in speculative derivative activities. All of the mortgage banking segment’s loan portfolio is held for sale and subject to forward sale commitments. See Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included herein for further discussion of these items.
The following table represents the contractual balances of our on-balance sheet financial instruments at the expected maturity dates, as well as the fair values of those on-balance sheet financial instruments as of December 31, 2025. The expected maturity categories take into consideration the actual and anticipated amortization of principal and do not take into consideration the reinvestment of cash or the refinancing of existing indebtedness. Because we sell all of the mortgage loans we originate into the secondary markets, we have made the assumption that the portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale will mature in the first year.
