U.S. homebuilder confidence rises to six-month high
-
最新报道：According to Bijie.com and ME, on October 16 (UTC+8), U.S. homebuilder confidence rose to a six-month high in October, driven by optimism that falling mortgage rates would boost housing demand and ease a chronic inventory glut. The NAHB Housing Market Index rose 5 points to 37 in October, its highest level since April, but has remained below the 50 mark, the boom-bust threshold, for 18 consecutive months. Although mortgage rates have fallen somewhat as the Federal Reserve resumed its rate cuts, potential buyers remain on the sidelines amid a weak labor market and uncertain economic outlook. NAHB Chairman Buddy Hughes said, "The recent decline in mortgage rates is a positive sign for improving home affordability, but the overall market remains challenging. Most homebuyers remain on the sidelines." The survey showed that the current sales situation indicator rose 4 points to 38, the future sales expectations indicator jumped 9 points to 54, and the potential buyer traffic indicator rose 4 points to 25.
