Homebuilder confidence hits highest on record

September NAHB Housing Market Index: 83 vs. 78 consensus and 78 prior.

Present single family sales: 88 vs. 84 previous.

Next 6 months single family sales: 84 vs. 78 previous.

Prospective buyer traffic: 73 vs. 64 previous.

NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz: “Lumber prices are now up more than 170% since mid-April, adding more than $16K to the price of a typical new single-family home … That said, the suburban shift for home building is keeping builders busy, supported on the demand side by low interest rates.”
