Solid Stocks to Buy in a Booming Homebuilding Market
The U.S. homebuilding market has been doing quite well for some time and the dream run continues despite worries of rising labor and raw material costs. Increasing demand for both new and existing homes has acted as a catalyst for the surge in sales.
This has, at the same time,given a boost to homebuilder sentiment. Overall, the homebuilding market is poised to grow in the coming days. The surging demand for homes is benefitting its ancillary industries too.
New Home Sales Jump in September
The Commerce Department said on Oct 26 that sales of new single-family homes rose 14% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 800,000 units in September. This is the highest level attained since March. Analysts had expected new home sales to rise to 760,000 units.
August sales were revised down to 702,000 units from the initially reported 740,000 units. September sales increased in almost all parts, including South, West and Northeast.
The jump in September comes despite builders struggling to cope with rising costs and supply shortages of raw materials like copper and steel. At the same time, lumber prices are soaring and labor is getting scarce, pushing up new home prices. However, surging demand has been driving sales.
Homebuilding Market Poised to Grow
The upbeat sentiment in the homebuilding market has continued since June last year after the economy reopened following the coronavirus-induced lockdown. Although the market slowed down earlier this year on rising raw material prices and labor costs, and higher interest rates, demand for new single-family homes has increased.
It can be said that the overall U.S. homebuilding market is once again thriving after a slight slowdown. Hitting an eight-month high, existing home sales rose 7% from August to a seasonally adjusted 6.29 million units in September, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR).
The jump in both new and existing home sales has resulted in bullish sentiment among homebuilders. As a result, homebuilder confidence rose 4 points to a reading of 80 in October from September’s reading of 76, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index.
There were already fewer homes compared to the high demand before the pandemic, and now the gap has widened. This is further helping to boost home prices and the trend is likely to continue in the days to come.
Our Choices
New and existing home sales hitting new highs in September along with homebuilder sentiment getting a boost in October is an indication that buyers are showing interest as the economy continues to reopen. This is thus an opportune time to invest in homebuilding and other ancillary stocks that are likely to benefit from the boom in the housing market.
