From the call

“We had already achieved our company-wide target of 120 days from home start to completion on built-to-order homes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, yet we further improved in this critical area in the first quarter, with a sequential decrease to 108 days.”

Faster builds widen the selling window for homes not yet started. KB can keep selling built-to-order homes into summer and still deliver them this year.
