Luxury home builder in this market? Hard to see any positives here. Those hoping for a quick rebound in the housing market seem optimistic or delusional, depending on your point of view. Rate cut may be a ray of hope, but will it actually lower mortgage rates? And banks still seem to be hoarding their cash instead of lending.
There are a couple scenarios where homebuilders could bounce, of course. A big rate cut and more cash pumped into banks may eventually prompt them to lend a bit. But that's a band-aid. They may pass more incentives for home-buyers; gauze for a wound. If they start buying up houses directly, that's the equivalent of "Charging.... CLEAR!" for the housing market.
