KB Homes earnings showed improvement year over year and quarter over quarter.... KB Homes is stealing marketshare and sales from bankrupt private builders... they will be one of the survivors.... public builders control only 20% of total… More

Stagflation kills the buyers and the builders lose their customers.
Fraud in the first-time home buyer government assistance program may slow home sales in the low end part of the market.

I'll take the downside as this recovery just seems a bit premature and one time items like first buyer stimulus. I'll take the downside from here.

Exhibit A would be the fact that the average new home has been on the market for 12.9 months. Exhibit B is that we have about 2-3 years of existing home sales just to absorb the vacancies that exist. According to T2, about 6% of all homes built this decade are vacant.

Exhibit C is that the home builders themselves have too much debt and too much inventory relative to their thin equity cushions. The home builders are in the position of trying to hold up a bowling ball with a sheet of paper...in the rain.

Lastly, the home builder stocks are almost universally expensive on a price-to-book basis." (NVR, SPF and KBH have the highest )
