Homebuilder Stocks In 2024: Can The Sector Enjoy Another Stellar Year?
Portfolio Pulse from Neil Dennis
Despite a slowdown in home sales and high interest rates, homebuilder stocks have outperformed the market in 2023. DR Horton, Lennar Corporation, Toll Brothers, and PulteGroup have seen significant gains. The SPDR Homebuilders ETF also rose. The sector's resilience is attributed to a strong desire for homeownership and limited housing supply. Supply chain issues persist, but housing starts are expected to increase as these ease. The sector's outlook for 2024 is cautiously optimistic, with potential risks from economic slowdown and labor market weakening.
