During the year ended December 31, 2012, NVR entered into new forward lot purchase agreements to purchase finished building lots for a total purchase price of approximately $49,000 with Elm Street Development, Inc. (“Elm Street”), which is controlled by one of our directors, Mr. Moran. The independent members of our Board approved these transactions. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, NVR purchased developed lots at market prices from Elm Street for approximately $54,600, $36,100 and $54,600, respectively. The Company also continues to control a parcel of raw land expected to yield at least 1,500 finished lots through a joint venture entered into with Elm Street during 2009. NVR did not make any additional capital contributions to that joint venture in 2012 or 2011. Further, during 2010, NVR also purchased a zoned, unimproved raw parcel of land from Elm Street for a total purchase price of approximately $49,000 which is expected to produce approximately 600 finished lots. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid Elm Street approximately $143, $143 and $36, respectively, to manage the development of that property. As of December 31, 2012, approximately $48,000 in costs related to the purchase and development of this property were recorded in “Land under development” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
