Direct peers

• NVR, Inc. Top-five US homebuilder (Ryan Homes, NVHomes) with a capital-light land-option strategy. Comparable in single-family product focus and national reach; useful contrast on capital intensity.
• Lennar Corporation: One of the largest US homebuilders, building single-family, townhome, and active adult homes across 32 states with master-planned communities. It is the most directly comparable peer because virtually all operational data in the source set is sourced from Lennar, and it is also the entity into which Ryland Homes was historically consolidated.
