Homebuilder Confidence On The Rise, And So Are Their Stock Prices

Despite a constrained national housing market, homebuilder sentiment is on the rise, and so are the stock prices of most homebuilders.

The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index, a monthly survey of homebuilders designed to gauge confidence in the market, increased for a fourth month to 45 in April, beating market forecasts of 44.

Builders noted that further declines in mortgage rates to below 6% will price in further demand for housing. However, the industry continues to be plagued by building material issues, including a lack of access to electrical transformer equipment, according to NAHB Chairman Alicia Huey.

Investors are seeing opportunities in the housing market, with Wall Street betting big on homebuilders as the spring homebuying season approaches.

Major players in the industry like KB Home (NYSE: KBH), PulteGroup, Inc (NYSE: PHM), and Tri Pointe Homes Inc (NYSE: TPH) have seen their stock prices soar by over 20% this year as buyers turn to new-home markets to avoid the limited inventory and sticky pricing of existing homes.

With mortgage rates moderating, analysts predict that builders will continue capitalizing on the low supply of existing homes to drive demand for their properties.

So is it the right time to invest in those stocks? If you’re not ready for that, you can become a landlord for as little as $100 through fractional real estate investing. Here’s how to start buying shares of rental homes to earn passive income and build long-term wealth.

Despite predictions of a continued slowdown in home sales this year, some builders are pulling back on incentives and raising prices in anticipation of the historically busy spring season.
