Read MoreHide Full Article
NVR, Inc. (NVR - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2025 results, with earnings and Homebuilding revenues surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Meanwhile, both earnings and Homebuilding revenues declined on a year-over-year basis.
The third-quarter results highlight continued softness in the housing market, with affordability challenges persisting amid macroeconomic uncertainty and inflationary pressures. The Homebuilding segment saw a year-over-year decline in settlements, while average selling prices remained consistent with the prior-year quarter. Backlog units and new orders also fell, indicating continued caution among homebuyers, reflecting ongoing weakness in overall housing demand.
Additionally, the bottom line declined annually as a result of contract land deposit impairments, unfavorable pricing pressures from affordability concerns, and increased lot costs.
