US Homebuilder Confidence Crashes To 14 Year Low, Blame Mortgage Rates & Immigration
American homebuilder confidence crashed to 29 in October - down from 32 in September and worse than the 31 print expected as rising mortgage rates, energy and material costs, and worsening labor and lot conditions have pushed builder sentiment to a 14-year low.
All three of the major HMI indices posted losses in October.
The index measuring current sales conditions fell two points to 33, the index gauging future sales expectations dropped five points to 32 and the index charting prospective buyer traffic fell five points to 18.
“Mortgage rates have climbed well above 7% in recent weeks, and higher gas prices and inflation have further weakened buyer traffic across much of the country,” said NAHB Chairman Bill Owens, a home builder and remodeler from Worthington, Ohio.
“Though builders are also contending with higher costs for construction loans, building materials and diesel, the Trump administration's...

The housing crisis is now global. It shows just how undemocratic our nations have become | Leilani Farha (The Guardian)
|
|
|
When we can't even afford to rent or buy somewhere to live, we have to ask: did we give the financial sector too much power?Leilani Farha is the former UN special rapporteur on adequate housingIn the summer of 2021, I visited a homeless community in a park in Toronto, Canada, and spoke to one of the residents. He was living in a tent in the shadow of brand new skyscrapers, and had been homeless for about five years. At one point he swivelled around, pointed up at a crane on the skyline, and said: “Who are they building those for? Definitely not for me.”He was right. And he captured something experienced by ordinary people around the world: the growing conviction that the housing system is no longer tethered to their needs.

This piece is based on her new book: Housing Inc.: A Global Takeover and Our Fight for Home. She is the former UN special rapporteur on adequate housing ...
