Good news, future home buyers! The market for new single-family homes is showing signs of positivity!
Buyer traffic is picking up thanks to recent dips in interest rates, even though they’re still a hurdle for some. The NAHB/Wells Fargo HMI index hit a 6-month high in February, indicating growing confidence in sales and future demand. This is especially promising considering the pent-up demand from potential buyers who were sidelined earlier.
Experts predict single-family starts to rise 5% this year, fueled by potential Fed rate cuts later in 2024. However, challenges remain. Finding available land and dealing with labor shortages will be crucial. Additionally, keep an eye on interest rates, as they can still impact buyer sentiment.
Overall, the outlook is positive! We’re seeing encouraging trends and a return of new homes built! Give us a call today to see how we can build your dream home in 2024!
