Supply Chain and Capacity

NVR INC · 2026-11-04 · Importance null · Surprise 24

NVR’s homebuilding operations faced labor-capacity issues, while backlog turnover was affected by internal production capacity, external subcontractor capacity, building-material availability and regulatory approvals. The company continued to rely primarily on third-party developers for finished lots through fixed-price lot purchase agreements, a strategy intended to limit land ownership and development risk. At September 30, 2026, it controlled approximately 185,300 lots, including 176,000 under lot purchase agreements; inventory increased partly because more homes were under construction than at year-end 2025. NVR stated that maintaining an adequate supply of finished lots is important to its operations.
