Builder Confidence Soars! Reasons to use a Real Estate Agent when Purchasing a New Construction Home
If you bother to talk to most builders they will tell you, ‘The market is back!’ June’s National Association of Home Builder’s Confidence Index has posted one of the highest scores in over 7 years! Slightly over 40% of the Home Builder’s surveyed say they felt positive about current business activity. Last year only 15% felt confident about the market. Over the last several months, there have been particularly strong signs for the economy like:
- Jobless claims decreasing
- Jobs increasing
- New home sales posted gains
- Existing home sales rise
- Pending home sales rise
- February and April reported some of the fastest home sales months since 2008
- Home values continue increasing
- Home sales rose 29% higher than last year
- Building permits rose in April
- Durable goods rose in April(a very strong housing indicator)
- 1st Q economy grew at 2.5%
- Consumer spending faster rise in 2 years
- Consumer confidence at a 5 year high
The NAHB survey is another sign that the US Economy continues to get stronger.
