Home Builder Index Dips in January

Posted OnJan 19, 2017
January's National Association of Home Builders Housing Market Index dipped two points from December's revised reading of 69 to 67; the index reading forecast for January was also 69.Analysts said that January's reading was the second highest (after December 2016) since the peak of the housing bubble in 2005. January's dip in builder sentiment was attributed to easing of builder enthusiasm, which spiked right after the U.S. presidential election. To put January's home builder confidence reading in context, NAHB says that any index reading over 50 indicates that more builders than fewer have confidence in housing market conditions.
