For Week Ending November 4, 2023
Builder confidence continues to wane amid persistently high mortgage rates, which have remained above 7% since mid-August. According to the National Association of Home Builders, builder confidence in newly built single-family homes fell four points to 40 in October, marking the third consecutive monthly decline. Higher rates have priced many prospective buyers out of the market, while also driving up the cost of builder development and construction loans, further impacting supply and housing affordability.
