KB Home is still investing in land and development while preserving substantial liquidity, showing that well-capitalized builders can keep building their pipeline through a weaker market. For the theme, that supports the idea that balance-sheet strength matters more when demand is uneven.
our inventory has grown to $6 billion, up 5%, and we ended the quarter with over 61,000 lots owned and under contract
