Jan 28 (Reuters) - U.S. homebuilder NVR Inc ( NVR ) beat

Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter profit on Tuesday,

helped by higher pricing of home units.

The average sales price of new orders in the fourth quarter

of 2024 was $469,000, up 4% from last year.

However, new orders for quarter ended Dec. 31 fell to 4,794

units, or about 8%, from 5,190 units last year.

NVR's earnings per share for the October-to-December quarter

came in at $139.93, above analysts' average estimates of

$127.08.

Consolidated revenues rose 17% to $2.85 billion from a year

earlier, beating estimates of $2.68 billion, according to data

compiled by LSEG.
