supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Because this is a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you. You should carefully read the entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the

<P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Our Company </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">NVR, Inc. (&#147;NVR&#148;)
was formed in 1980 as NVHomes, Inc. Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes and condominium buildings, all of which are primarily constructed on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-sold</FONT>
basis. 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;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are one of the largest homebuilders in the United States. We operate in
multiple locations in fourteen states, which are primarily in the eastern part of the country, and in Washington, D.C. During 2019, approximately 22% and 9% of our home settlements occurred in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD metropolitan
areas, respectively, which accounted for approximately 27% and 11%, respectively, of our 2019 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 Heartland Homes. Our Ryan Homes product is marketed primarily to first-time and first-time <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">move-up</FONT> buyers. Ryan Homes operates in
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">thirty-two</FONT> metropolitan areas located in Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Indiana, Illinois and
Tennessee. Our NVHomes and Heartland Homes products are marketed primarily to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">move-up</FONT> and luxury buyers. NVHomes operates in Delaware and the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA metropolitan
areas. Heartland Homes operates in the Pittsburgh, PA metropolitan area. We believe we have been among the industry leaders in terms of financial performance when compared against other publicly traded homebuilders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We generally do not engage in land development. Instead, we typically acquire finished building lots at market prices from various third party land developers
pursuant to fixed price finished lot purchase agreements (&#147;Lot Purchase Agreements&#148;) that require deposits that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the Lot Purchase Agreements. The deposits required under the Lot Purchase
Agreements are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and typically range up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 Lot 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 Lot Purchase Agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provision contained within the Lot Purchase Agreements. We do not have any financial guarantees or completion obligations and we
typically do not guarantee lot purchases on a specific performance basis under these Lot Purchase Agreements. None of the creditors of any of the development entities with which we have entered these Lot 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to
constructing homes primarily on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-sold</FONT> basis and utilizing what we believe is a conservative lot acquisition strategy, we focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we
serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our markets, which we believe contributes to minimizing the adverse effects of regional economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these
markets. Our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build. As a result, 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 raw ground, we determine whether to sell the raw parcel to a developer and enter
into a Lot Purchase Agreement with the developer to purchase the finished lots or 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 Lot Purchase Agreements with forfeitable deposits. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to building and selling homes, we provide a number of
mortgage-related services through our mortgage banking operations. Through operations in each of our homebuilding markets, NVRM originates mortgage loans almost exclusively for our homebuyers. NVRM generates revenues primarily from origination fees,
gains on sales of loans and title fees. NVRM sells all of the mortgage loans it closes into the secondary markets on a servicing released basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are
incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Our principal executive offices are located at 11700 Plaza America Drive, Suite&nbsp;500, Reston, Virginia 20190 and our telephone number is <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">(703)&nbsp;956-4000.</FONT>

including the recent <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic, have had, and could in the future have, an adverse impact on our business and operations, and the markets, states and local communities in which we operate. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our business and operations could be adversely affected by health epidemics, including the recent <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic,
impacting the markets, states and local communities in which we operate. The <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic has been declared a national emergency.&nbsp;Efforts to contain the virus have led to significant disruptions to
commerce, increased unemployment, lower consumer confidence and consumer demand for goods and services and general uncertainty regarding the near-term and long-term impact of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> virus on the domestic
and international economy and on public health. These developments and other consequences of the outbreak could materially and adversely affect our operations, profitability and cash flows. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The duration, severity, and scope of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> outbreak are highly uncertain.&nbsp;The <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic has adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact our business. To date, our primary focus as we face this challenge has been to do everything we can to ensure the safety and well-being
of our employees, customers and trade partners. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Homebuilding</I>: State governments in every market where we operate have instituted
social distancing and other restrictions, which have resulted in significant changes to the way we conduct business. We are operating in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as state and
local guidelines, in all of our markets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Mortgage</I>: We are operating in accordance with state and local guidelines with respect to
our mortgage banking and settlement services activities. As a result of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic, the mortgage market has been significantly disrupted as investors tightened their credit standards or exited the
market. This disruption has adversely impacted our business to date, as it has resulted in significantly lower values for mortgage servicing rights. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
ultimate impact of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. There is uncertainty regarding governmental actions that may occur, and the effects of economic
relief efforts on the U.S. economy, either of which could be potential disruptors to our business. Over the long term, these disruptions related to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> could lower demand for our products, impair our
ability to sell and/or build homes in our normal manner, increase our losses on contract land deposits, and negatively impact our lending and secondary mortgage market activities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The full extent to which the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic will affect our operations cannot be predicted at this time, including,
but not limited to, the duration and severity of the outbreak, governmental reactions and policies, the impact of such on our employees, customers and trade partners, and the length of time required for normal economic and operating conditions to
resume.&nbsp;While the spread of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> may eventually be mitigated, there is no guarantee that a future outbreak of this or any other widespread epidemics will not occur, or that the U.S. economy will
recover, either of which could seriously harm our business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Relating to the Notes </B></P>

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 $150&nbsp;million. </P>

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

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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>There may not be an active trading market for the notes. </B></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes offered hereby will form a part of the same series as our 3.000% senior notes due 2030 that were previously issued in the aggregate principal amount
of $600&nbsp;million under an indenture dated as of April&nbsp;14, 1998 (as supplemented by a supplemental indenture with respect to the initial notes and a supplemental indenture with respect to the notes offered hereby, the &#147;indenture&#148;),
between us and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as successor trustee to The Bank of New York. The terms of the notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (the &#147;Trust Indenture Act&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The terms of the notes offered hereby, other than their issue date and issue price, will be identical to
the terms of the initial notes. The notes offered hereby will be treated as a single series with the initial notes for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The
notes offered hereby and the initial notes will have the same CUSIP number, will be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will trade interchangeably with the initial notes immediately upon settlement. Upon completion of this offering,
the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes of the series will be $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;million. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture. It does not restate that agreement in its entirety. We urge you to read
the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the notes. We have filed or will file copies of the indenture and the notes with the SEC. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will be issued in fully registered form and will constitute a single series of debt securities for purposes of the indenture. The registered holder

beneficial owners are not themselves participants in DTC, on the policies and procedures of its participants with regard to receiving payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the notes and exercising rights under the notes.

holders of such global notes or any notes represented thereby for any purpose under the notes or the indenture. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event an owner of a beneficial interest in a global notes desires to take any
action that DTC, as the holder of such global notes, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the participants to take such action, and that the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to take such action or
would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any payment of principal or interest due on the notes on any interest
payment date or at maturity will be made available by us to the trustee of the notes by such date. As soon as possible thereafter, the trustee of the notes will make such payments to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of
the global notes representing such notes in accordance with existing arrangements between the trustee of the notes and the depositary. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect that DTC
or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of the global notes will credit immediately the accounts of the related participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in
the principal amount of such global notes as shown on the records of DTC. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global notes held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form of registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such participants. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">None of us, the trustee of the notes or any payment agent for the global notes will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for other aspects of the relationship between
the depositary and its participants or the relationship between such participants and the owners of beneficial interests in the global notes owning through such participants. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear participant purchasing an interest in a global note from a DTC participant will be
credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear) immediately following the DTC settlement date. Cash received in
Euroclear as a result of sales of interests in a global note by or through a Euroclear participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Euroclear cash account only as of
the business day following settlement in DTC. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As long as the notes are represented by a global note, DTC&#146;s nominee will be the holder of such notes
and therefore will be the only entity that can exercise a right to repayment or repurchase of such notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Notice by participants or by owners of
beneficial interests in the global notes held through such participants of the exercise of the option to elect repayment of beneficial interests in notes represented by the global note must be transmitted to the relevant Book Entry Facility in
accordance with its procedures on a form required by the relevant Book Entry Facility and provided to participants. In order to ensure that DTC&#146;s nominee will timely exercise a right to repayment with respect to a particular note, the
beneficial owner of such note must instruct the broker or other participant to exercise a right to repayment. Different firms have <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">cut-off</FONT> times for accepting instructions from their customers and,
accordingly, each beneficial owner should consult the broker or other participant through which it holds an interest in a note in order to ascertain the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">cut-off</FONT> time by which such an instruction must be given
in order for timely notice to be delivered to DTC. We will not be liable for any delay in delivery of notices of the exercise of the option to elect repayment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless and until exchanged in whole or in part for notes in definitive form in accordance with the terms of the notes, the global notes may not be transferred
except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any such nominee to a successor of DTC or a nominee of each successor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants of a Book Entry
Facility, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of us or the trustee of the notes will have any responsibility for the performance by a Book Entry
Facility or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations. We and the trustee of the notes may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
instructions from a Book Entry Facility for all purposes. </P>

participants, thereby elimination the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC&#146;s participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Amortizable Bond Premium. </I></B>If a U.S. Holder purchases a note offered hereby for an amount (excluding any portion thereof
allocable to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-acquisition</FONT> accrued interest) that exceeds the note&#146;s stated principal amount, the U.S. Holder will be considered to have purchased the note with &#147;amortizable bond premium&#148; in
an amount equal to the excess. Generally, a U.S. Holder may elect to amortize the premium as an offset to interest, using a constant-yield method, over the remaining term of the notes. However, because the notes may be optionally redeemed by us for
an amount in excess of their stated principal amount, special rules apply that could result in a deferral of the amortization of the bond premium until later in the term of the notes. Under the Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder may offset the
stated interest income allocable to an accrual period with the bond premium allocable to the accrual period. If the bond premium allocable to an accrual period exceeds the stated interest income allocable to the accrual period, the excess is treated
as a bond premium deduction. However, the amount treated as a bond premium deduction is limited to the amount by which such U.S. Holder&#146;s total interest inclusions on the notes in prior accrual periods exceed the total amount treated by such
holder as a bond premium deduction in prior accrual periods. If any of the excess bond premium is not deductible, that amount is carried forward to the next accrual period. If a U.S. Holder elects to amortize bond premium, the U.S. Holder must
reduce its adjusted tax basis in the notes by the amount of the bond premium used to offset interest income as set forth above. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt obligations held or subsequently acquired by the U.S.
Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year to which the election applies and may be revoked only with the consent of the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of the notes</I></B>. Upon the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable 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, decreased by any amortizable bond premium previously amortized with respect to the notes and any
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-acquisition</FONT> accrued interest previously received. 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 (other than pre-acquisition accrued interest) are treated as interest as described under
&#147;Payments of interest&#148; above. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT>
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. </P>

Withholding. </I></B>Pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the provisions commonly known as FATCA), interest paid on the notes and, subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed
below, the gross proceeds of a sale or other disposition of notes paid to a foreign financial institution (whether such foreign financial institution is a beneficial owner or an intermediary) may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate
of 30% unless (x)(1) such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution
(which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) or (2)&nbsp;such institution resides in a jurisdiction with which the United States has entered into
an intergovernmental agreement to implement FATCA and (y)&nbsp;such foreign financial institution provides the withholding agent with a certification that it is eligible to receive payment free of FATCA withholding. The legislation also generally
will impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on interest paid on the notes and, subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below, the gross proceeds of a sale or other disposition of a note paid to a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> foreign entity (whether such <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> foreign entity is a beneficial owner or an intermediary) unless such entity provides the withholding agent with
a certification (i)&nbsp;that such entity does not have any &#147;substantial United States owners&#148; or (ii)&nbsp;provides certain information regarding the entity&#146;s &#147;substantial United States owners,&#148; which will in turn be
provided to the U.S. tax authorities. While withholding under FATCA would have applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of notes on or after January&nbsp;1, 2019, recently proposed Treasury Regulations eliminated
FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. A foreign financial institution or
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> foreign entity can meet the certification requirements by providing a properly executed applicable IRS Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">W-8.</FONT> Under certain circumstances, a U.S. Holder
or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-U.S.</FONT> Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes from the IRS. An applicable intergovernmental agreement regarding FATCA between the United States and the jurisdiction of a foreign
financial institution or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-financial</FONT> foreign entity may modify the rules discussed in this paragraph. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible
implications of this legislation on their investment in any of the notes. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">NVR, Inc. (&#147;NVR&#148;) was formed in 1980 as NVHomes, Inc. Our primary business is the construction and sale of single-family detached homes, townhomes
and condominium buildings, all of which are primarily constructed on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-sold</FONT> basis. 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;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are one of the largest homebuilders in the United States. We operate in multiple locations in fourteen states, which are primarily in the eastern part of
the country, and in Washington, D.C. During 2019, approximately 22% and 9% of our home settlements occurred in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD metropolitan areas, respectively, which accounted for approximately 27% and 11%, respectively, of
our 2019 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 Heartland Homes. Our Ryan Homes
product is marketed primarily to first-time and first-time <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">move-up</FONT> buyers. Ryan Homes operates in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">thirty-two</FONT> metropolitan areas located in Maryland, Virginia,
Washington, D.C., West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Indiana, Illinois and Tennessee. Our NVHomes and Heartland Homes products are marketed primarily to <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">move-up</FONT> and luxury buyers. NVHomes operates in Delaware and the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA metropolitan areas. Heartland Homes operates in the Pittsburgh, PA metropolitan area. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We generally do not engage in land development. Instead, we typically acquire finished building lots at market prices from various third party land developers
pursuant to fixed price finished lot purchase agreements (&#147;Lot Purchase Agreements&#148;) that require deposits that may be forfeited if we fail to perform under the Lot Purchase Agreements. The deposits required under the Lot Purchase
Agreements are in the form of cash or letters of credit in varying amounts and typically range up to 10% of the aggregate purchase price of the finished lots. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 Lot 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 Lot Purchase Agreements is limited to the amount of the deposit pursuant to the liquidated damage provision contained within the Lot Purchase Agreements. We do not have any financial guarantees or completion obligations and we
typically do not guarantee lot purchases on a specific performance basis under these Lot Purchase Agreements. None of the creditors of any of the development entities with which we have entered these Lot 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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to
constructing homes primarily on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-sold</FONT> basis and utilizing what we believe is a conservative lot acquisition strategy, we focus on obtaining and maintaining a leading market position in each market we
serve. This strategy allows us to gain valuable efficiencies and competitive advantages in our markets, which we believe contributes to minimizing the adverse effects of regional economic cycles and provides growth opportunities within these
markets. Our continued success is contingent upon our ability to control an adequate supply of finished lots on which to build. As a result, 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 raw ground, we determine whether to sell the raw parcel to a developer and enter
into a Lot Purchase Agreement with the developer to purchase the finished lots or 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 Lot Purchase Agreements with forfeitable deposits. </P>

prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the debt securities being offered and the extent to which such general provisions may apply will be set forth in the applicable indenture or in one or more supplemental indentures and will be
described in a prospectus supplement and/or in a free writing prospectus or pricing supplement authorized by us, or which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus or such prospectus supplement, relating to the debt securities. </P>

general obligations and may be either senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. The debt securities will be issued under one or more indentures, as amended or supplemented from time to time, in each case between a trustee and us.
Senior debt securities will be issued under the senior indenture and subordinated debt securities will be issued under the subordinated indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each
indenture is or will be subject to, and governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The statements made under this heading relate to the debt securities and the indentures. These statements are summaries of provisions in the indentures
and do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the indentures and debt securities themselves. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The

otherwise, to pay any amounts due under the debt securities or to make any funds available, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. The payment of dividends or the making of loans and advances to us by the subsidiaries may be subject to
contractual, statutory or regulatory restrictions, which, if material, would be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement. Moreover, such payments, loans and advances would be contingent upon the earnings of the subsidiaries. Our right to
receive assets of any of the subsidiaries upon liquidation or recapitalization of the subsidiaries (and the consequent right of the holders of debt securities to participate in those assets) will be subject to the claims of the subsidiaries&#146;
creditors. In the event that we are recognized as a creditor of a subsidiary, our claims would still be subject to any security interest in the assets of such subsidiary and any indebtedness of such subsidiary senior to that of the debt securities.

resolution of our board of directors as established in the applicable indenture or in one or more supplemental indentures. All debt securities of one series do not have to be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be
reopened, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series, for issuances of additional debt securities of such series (Section 301). </P>

shares, each of which will represent a fractional interest of a share of a particular series of preferred shares, as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Preferred shares of each series represented by depositary shares will be
deposited under a separate deposit agreement among us, the depository named therein and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary receipt will be entitled, in
proportion to the fractional interest of a share of a particular series of preferred shares represented by the depositary shares evidenced by such depositary receipt, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred shares represented by such
depositary shares (including dividend, voting, conversion, redemption and liquidation rights). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary
receipts issued pursuant to the applicable deposit agreement. Immediately following the issuance and delivery of the preferred shares by us to the preferred share depository, we will cause the preferred share depository to issue, on our behalf, the
depositary receipts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the depositary shares to which any prospectus
supplement may relate. The particular terms of the depositary shares will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The description below and in any prospectus supplement does not include all of the terms of the depositary shares and
should be read together with the applicable deposit agreement and related depositary receipts, each of which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. </P>

all cash dividends received in respect of the preferred shares to the record holders of depositary receipts evidencing the related depositary shares in proportion to the number of such depositary receipts owned by such holders, subject to certain
obligations of holders to file proofs, certificates and other information and to pay certain charges and expenses to the preferred share depository. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
the event of a dividend other than in cash, the preferred share depository will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary receipts entitled thereto, subject to certain obligations of holders to file proofs, certificates
and other information and to pay certain charges and expenses to the preferred share depository, unless the preferred share depository determines that it is not feasible to make such distribution, in which case the preferred share depository may,
with our approval, sell such property and distribute the net proceeds from such sale to such holders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Withdrawal of Shares </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon surrender of the depositary receipts at the corporate trust office of the preferred share depository (unless the related depositary shares have previously
been called for redemption), the holders thereof will be entitled to delivery at such office, to or upon such holder&#146;s order, of the number of whole or fractional preferred shares and any money or other property represented by the depositary
shares evidenced by such depositary receipts. Holders of depositary receipts will be entitled to receive whole or fractional shares of the related preferred shares on the basis of the proportion of the preferred shares represented by each depositary
share as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, but holders of such preferred shares will not thereafter be entitled to receive depositary shares therefor. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of
depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of preferred shares to be withdrawn, the preferred share depository will deliver to such holder at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing such excess
number of depositary shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Redemption of Depositary Shares </B></P>

thereon to the date fixed for redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the redemption price and any other amounts per share payable with respect to the preferred shares. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be
redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional depositary shares) or by any other equitable method determined by us. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">From and after the date fixed for redemption, all dividends in respect of the preferred shares so called for redemption will cease to accrue, the depositary

any meeting at which the holders of the preferred shares are entitled to vote, the preferred share depository will mail the information contained in such notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary
shares which represent such preferred shares. Each record holder of depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares on the record date (which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred shares) will be entitled to instruct the
preferred share depository as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of preferred shares represented by such holder&#146;s depositary shares. The preferred share depository will vote the amount of preferred shares represented
by such depositary shares in accordance with such instructions, and we will agree to take all reasonable action which may be deemed necessary by the preferred share depository in order to enable the preferred share depository to do so. The preferred
share depository will abstain from voting the amount of preferred shares represented by such depositary shares to the extent it does not receive specific instructions from the holders of depositary receipts evidencing such depositary shares. The
preferred share depository will not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instruction to vote, or for the manner or effect of any such vote made, as long as any such action or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-action</FONT> is in good
faith and does not result from negligence or willful misconduct of the preferred share depository. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Liquidation Preference </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each depositary receipt will be entitled to the
fraction of the liquidation preference accorded each preferred share represented by the depositary share evidenced by such depositary receipt, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>

such, are not convertible into common shares or any of our other securities or property. Nevertheless, if so specified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to an offering of depositary shares, the depositary receipts may be surrendered
by holders thereof to the preferred share depository with written instructions to the preferred share depository to instruct us to cause conversion of the preferred shares represented by the depositary shares evidenced by such depositary receipts
into whole common shares, other preferred shares or other securities, and we have agreed that upon receipt of such instructions and any amounts payable in respect thereof, it will cause the conversion thereof utilizing the same procedures as those
provided for delivery of preferred shares to effect such conversion. If the depositary shares evidenced by a depositary receipt are to be converted in part only, a new depositary receipt or receipts will be issued for any depositary shares not to be
converted. No fractional common shares will be issued upon conversion, and if such conversion will result in a fractional share being issued, we will pay in cash an amount equal to the value of the fractional interest based upon the closing price of
the common shares on the last business day prior to the conversion. </P>

shares and all money and other property, if any, represented thereby, except in order to comply with law. Every holder of an outstanding depositary receipt at the time any such amendment becomes effective will be deemed, by continuing to hold such
