U.S. existing home sales squeaked past November forecasts, rising 0.8% for the month and bringing the seasonally adjusted annual rate to 3.82 million units sold.

Stucky lays out his reasons for rate cuts: “Typically when the Fed cuts, they don’t cut 25 basis points at a time. They tend to cut in response to economic weakness.

A bounce in homebuilder sentiment as 2023 comes to a close along with tailwinds of both moderating mortgage rates and still-recovering housing supply is laying the foundation for a strong homebuilding market in 2024, according to NAHB CEO Jim Tobin.
