Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology, such as &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; or &#147;anticipates&#148; or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. All statements other than of historical facts

national and regional level); interest rate changes; access to suitable financing by us and our customers; increased regulation in the mortgage banking industry; the ability of our mortgage banking subsidiary to sell loans it originates into the
secondary market; competition; the availability and cost of land and other raw materials used by us in our homebuilding operations; shortages of labor; weather related slow-downs; building moratoriums; governmental regulation; fluctuation and
volatility of stock and other financial markets; mortgage financing availability; and other factors over which we have little or no control. We undertake no obligation to update such forward-looking statements except as required by law. For

Inc. Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings. 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. (&#147;NVRM&#148;). </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are one of the largest homebuilders in the United States. While we operate in multiple locations in 15 states, primarily in the
eastern part of the United States, approximately 35% of our home settlements in 2011 occurred in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD metropolitan areas, which accounted for approximately 46% of our 2011 homebuilding revenues. 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 Fox Ridge Homes. The Ryan Homes and Fox Ridge Homes products are marketed primarily to
first-time homeowners and first-time move-up buyers. The Ryan Homes product is currently sold in 27 metropolitan areas located in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Florida. The Fox Ridge Homes product is sold solely in the Nashville, TN metropolitan area. The NVHomes product is marketed primarily to move-up and upscale buyers and is sold in Delaware

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Historically, we generally have not engaged in land development (see discussion below on our limited land development activities). Instead, we typically acquire finished building lots at market prices
from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements (&#147;purchase agreements&#148;) that require deposits that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the purchase agreement. The deposits required under the purchase
agreements are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and represent a percentage, typically ranging up to 10%, of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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 purchase agreements 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 purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provision contained within the purchase agreements. We do not have any financial guarantees and we typically do not
guarantee lot purchases on a specific performance basis under these purchase agreements. None of the creditors of any of the development entities with which we have entered these purchase agreements 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our continued

pressure on our developers&#146; ability to obtain acquisition and development financing or to raise equity investments to finance land development activity, potentially constraining our supply
of finished lots. This pressure has necessitated that 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 any raw ground, we determine whether to sell the raw parcel to a developer and enter into a fixed price purchase agreement with the developer to purchase the finished
lots, or whether 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 fixed price purchase agreements with
forfeitable deposits. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of June&nbsp;30, 2012, we controlled approximately 50,300 lots under purchase agreements with
deposits in cash and letters of credit totaling approximately $224.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Included in the number of controlled lots are approximately 10,900 lots for which we have recorded a contract land deposit impairment
reserve of approximately $69.0 million as of June&nbsp;30, 2012. In addition, we had an aggregate investment of approximately $87.8 million in four joint venture limited liability corporations (&#147;JVs&#148;), expected to produce approximately
6,500 lots. Of the lots controlled by the JVs, approximately 2,700 were not under contract with us at June&nbsp;30, 2012. Further, as of June&nbsp;30, 2012, we directly owned four separate raw parcels of land, zoned for their intended use, with a
current cost basis, including development costs, of approximately $71.0 million that we intend to develop into approximately 830 finished lots for use in our homebuilding operations. </FONT></P>

earnings consist of pretax income from continuing operations before adjustment for non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries or income or loss from equity investees, net of distributions, and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of
interest expense, amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and an estimate of interest within rental expense. There were no preferred shares outstanding for any of the periods shown above. Accordingly, the ratio
of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends was identical to the ratio of earnings to fixed charges. </FONT></P>

from our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February&nbsp;22, 2012, and the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should carefully consider the
following risk factors before making an investment in the notes. The risks described below and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks not known to us may also
impair our business. </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>The notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The notes will not be guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries and will be structurally subordinated to all existing and
future claims of creditors of our subsidiaries. This is because these creditors will have priority as to the assets of our subsidiaries over our claims as an equity holder in our subsidiaries and thereby, indirectly, your claims as holders of the
notes. As a result, upon any distribution to these creditors in a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to us or our property, these creditors would be entitled to be paid in full before any payment may be made
with respect to the notes. Thereafter, the holders of the notes would participate with our trade creditors and all other holders of our unsubordinated indebtedness in the assets remaining, if any. In any of these cases, we may have insufficient
funds to pay all of our creditors, including holders of the notes. At June&nbsp;30, 2012, there was no outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money incurred by our subsidiaries, but one of our subsidiaries, NVR Mortgage Finance, Inc., is party to a
revolving mortgage repurchase agreement under which it could borrow up to $25 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>We may not be able to purchase the notes upon a

&#147;Description of Notes&#148;), subject to certain exceptions, we will be required to make an offer to each holder of notes to purchase all or any part of such holder&#146;s notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. If we experience a Change of Control Repurchase Event, we cannot assure you that we would have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy our obligations to purchase the notes.
Our failure to purchase the notes as required under the indenture that will govern the notes would result in a default under the indenture, which could result in defaults under our other debt agreements and have material adverse consequences for us
and the holders of the notes. See &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Change of Control Repurchase Event.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>The terms of the indenture and

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While the indenture and the notes contain terms intended to provide protection to holders upon the occurrence of certain events involving significant corporate transactions and our creditworthiness, these
terms are limited and may not be sufficient to protect your investment in the notes. As described under &#147;Description of Notes&#151;Change of Control Repurchase Event,&#148; upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event, holders
are entitled to require us to repurchase their notes at 101% of their principal amount. However, the definition of the term &#147;Change of Control Repurchase Event&#148; is limited and does not cover a variety of transactions (such as acquisitions
by us or recapitalizations) that could negatively affect the value of the notes. If we were to enter into a significant corporate transaction that negatively affects the value of the notes, but would not constitute a Change of Control Repurchase
Event, you would not have any rights to require us to repurchase the notes prior to their maturity, which also would adversely affect your investment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We may be required, in certain circumstances, to redeem all or part of the notes. The possibility of such redemption may implicate the provisions of the U.S. Treasury Regulations relating to
&#147;contingent payment debt instruments.&#148; If the notes were deemed to be contingent payment debt instruments, U.S. Holders would be required to accrue interest income based upon a &#147;comparable yield,&#148; regardless of the holder&#146;s
method of accounting. Such yield may be higher than the stated coupon on the notes. In addition, any gain on the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of the notes would be recharacterized as ordinary income. We do not believe that
the notes should be treated as contingent payment debt instruments, and we do not intend to treat them as such. However, there is no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position. U.S. Holders of the notes should consult their tax
advisors regarding the possible application of the contingent payment debt instrument rules to the notes. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. </FONT></P>

disposition of a note, a U.S.&nbsp;Holder will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the U.S.&nbsp;Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the note. The
U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the note will generally equal the amount the U.S. Holder paid for the note. The amount realized by the U.S. Holder will include the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received
for the note. For these purposes, the amount realized does not include any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest. Amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest are treated as interest as described under &#147;&#151;Payments of
interest&#148; above. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of a note will generally be
capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition the note has been held by the U.S.&nbsp;Holder for more than one year. For non-corporate U.S. holders, (including
individuals), long-term capital gains are generally subject to U.S. federal income taxation at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code. </FONT></P>

Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;) in connection with amounts paid or accrued on or with respect to the notes and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the notes, and the amount of tax, if any, withheld from such payments. A
U.S.&nbsp;Holder that is not an exempt recipient will be subject to U.S.&nbsp;backup withholding on these payments if (a)&nbsp;the U.S.&nbsp;Holder fails to provide its taxpayer identification number to the paying agent and fails to comply with
certain certification procedures or otherwise establish an exemption from backup withholding, (b)&nbsp;the IRS or a broker has notified the paying agent that the U.S. Holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of the failure to properly
report payments of interests or dividends or, (c)&nbsp;in certain circumstances, the U.S.&nbsp;Holder has failed to certify under penalty of perjury that it is not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The
amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S.&nbsp;Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S.&nbsp;Holder&#146;s U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S.&nbsp;Holder to a refund, provided that the required

&#147;FATCA,&#148; may impose withholding taxes on certain types of payments made to &#147;foreign financial institutions&#148; and certain other non-financial foreign entities after December&nbsp;31, 2013. This legislation contains a grandfathering
provision that exempts from withholding any payment under, or gross proceeds from a disposition of, certain obligations that are outstanding on March&nbsp;18, 2012, and proposed Treasury Regulations would extend this grandfathering provision to
certain obligations that are outstanding on January&nbsp;1, 2013, including the notes. These proposed regulations are not effective until finalized, however, and unless and until they are so finalized, you are not entitled to rely on them.
Additionally, even if the notes are initially not subject to FATCA withholding, if we were to issue additional notes associated with this offering on or after January&nbsp;1, 2013, such additional notes may not be exempt from FATCA. Furthermore, it
may not be possible for withholding agents to differentiate between such additional notes and the original notes. In such case, it is possible that FATCA withholding would apply to the original notes and the additional notes. If applicable, the
legislation would impose a 30% withholding tax on interest on, or gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, the notes paid to a foreign financial institution unless the foreign financial institution enters into an agreement with the U.S.
Treasury, among other things, to undertake to identify accounts held by specified U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to account holders who fail to
provide the requested information. In addition, the legislation imposes a 30% withholding tax on certain withholdable payments to certain non-financial foreign entities unless they certify that they do not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnish
identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner (although under the proposed Treasury Regulations, a non-financial foreign entity may be exempt from such withholding under certain circumstances even if it does not provide such
certification or such identifying information). You should consult your tax advisors regarding this legislation and whether it may be relevant to your ownership and disposition of the notes. </FONT></P>

whether the purchaser relied on the misrepresentation. The right of action for damages is exercisable not later than the earlier of 180 days from the date the purchaser first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action and three
years from the date on which payment is made for the notes. The right of action for rescission is exercisable not later than 180 days from the date on which payment is made for the notes. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for
rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against us. In no case will the amount recoverable in any action exceed the price at which the notes were offered to the purchaser and if the purchaser is shown to have purchased the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are one of the largest homebuilders in the United States. While we operate in multiple locations in 15 states as of the date of this
prospectus, primarily in the eastern part of the United States, approximately 35% of our home settlements in 2011 occurred in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD metropolitan areas, which accounted for approximately 46% of our 2011 homebuilding
revenues. 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 Fox Ridge Homes. The Ryan Homes and Fox Ridge Homes
products are marketed primarily to first-time homeowners and first-time move-up buyers. The Ryan Homes product is sold in 27 metropolitan areas as of the date of this prospectus located in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Florida. The Fox Ridge Homes product is sold solely in the Nashville, TN metropolitan area as of the date of this
prospectus. The NVHomes product is marketed primarily to move-up and upscale buyers and is sold in Delaware and the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA metropolitan areas as of the date of this prospectus. In 2011, our average price
of a settled unit was approximately $307,500. 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. (&#147;NVRM&#148;). </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Historically, we generally have not engaged in land development (see discussion below on our limited land development activities).
Instead, we typically acquire finished building lots at market prices from various development entities under fixed price purchase agreements (&#147;purchase agreements&#148;) that require deposits that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under
the purchase agreement. The deposits required under the purchase agreements are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and represent a percentage, typically ranging up to 10%, of the aggregate purchase price of the finished
lots. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">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 purchase agreements 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 purchase agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provision contained within the purchase agreements. We do not have any financial guarantees and we
typically do not guarantee lot purchases on a specific performance basis under these purchase agreements. None of the creditors of any of the development entities with which we have entered these purchase agreements 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. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build and on our developers&#146; ability to timely deliver finished lots to meet the sales
demands of our customers. However, current economic conditions and the continued downturn of the homebuilding industry have exerted pressure on our developers&#146; ability to obtain acquisition and development financing or to raise equity
investments to finance land development activity, potentially constraining our supply of finished lots. This pressure has necessitated that 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 any raw ground, we determine whether to sell the raw parcel to a developer and
enter into a fixed price purchase agreement with the developer to purchase the finished lots, or whether 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 fixed price purchase agreements with forfeitable deposits. </FONT></P>

and 2007, respectively, and our ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 11.9 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2012. The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For purposes of such computation,
earnings consist of pretax income from continuing operations before adjustment for non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries or income or loss from equity investees, net of distributions, and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of
interest expense, amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness and an estimate of interest within rental expense. There were no preferred shares outstanding for any of the periods shown above. Accordingly, the ratio
of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends was identical to the ratio of earnings to fixed charges. </FONT></P>

of the securities will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the securities, except in the event the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued. Securities issued in book-entry form will be evidenced by one or
more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depository identified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the securities. The Depository Trust Company is expected to serve as depository. Unless and until it is
exchanged in whole or in part for the individual securities represented thereby, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depository for the global security to a nominee of such depository or by a nominee of such depository
to such depository or another nominee of such depository or by the depository or any nominee of such depository to a successor depository or a nominee of such successor. Global securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in

depository&#146;s participants or persons that may hold interests through such participants. Ownership of global securities will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the applicable
depository or its nominee (with respect to ownership interests of participants) and records of the participants (with respect to ownership interests of persons who hold through participants). The laws of some states require that certain purchasers
