Home Builders Are Optomistic About 2013


And how about that housing market! Homebuilder sentiment increased for the eighth straight month with the index at its highest level since April 2006. Existing Home Sales in November increased nearly 6% to a better than expected 5.04 million with sales at their highest level since November 2009. In addition, the national median home price was up about 10% from a year ago while months' supply of 4.8-months was at its lowest since September 2005. And the FHFA house price index reported prices rose 0.5 percent in October and were up 5.6 percent year-over-year. And if housing prices continue to move higher, that increases the pool of potential refi's for 2013, right?
