The punchline is that NVR paid for that pace through price and margin. Horton and Lennar have leaned heavily on ready-to-occupy homes, mortgage-rate buydowns and other incentives to move buyers through communities quickly. NVR nevertheless generated order growth above expectations, suggesting buyers will accept that wait when price, product and location remain compelling. NVR protected volume by resetting price even though its balance sheet and low land exposure gave it less need than most peers to chase closings. Any acceleration would give the company a welcome boost in order and revenue growth beyond higher absorption or lower prices.
