NAHB Wells Fargo Builders Index

NAHB Housing Index 40 vs prior 35 Full Report

Inside the number: This measure of builder confidence saw a 30 year low in September 06.
All indices data from NAHB.

The index has been below 50 for 10 straight months, as the first leg of three down comes to a pause.

You opine.... 1st of three? Oh no Nattering One, more to come?

Oh yes my little "droogies", the 2nd leg down should commence when all the over priced inventory taken off the market over the Winter piles back in this Spring and Summer....

"Fly, fly, fly"..... and slightly thereafter housing sector layoffs and their dominoe effect should start to increase exponentially ...

FYI: In the 1989-1992 downturn, the index was below 50 for 36 straight months.
