Homebuilder Confidence Misses Expectations Again As Outlook Plunges To 10-Month Lows
Despite last month's epic collapse in the NAHB Confidence index, the 'recovery' bounce this month missed expectations significantly making the 6th miss in the last 7 months (we assume that means its been winter-stormy for the last 7 months). Holding at levels seen in May 2013, future sales expectations dropped once again to 10 month lows as hope fades (or they expect more bad weather). The West (crushed by warm dry pleasant weather) continues to plummet but the NorthEast dropped to levekls not seen since Auguest 2012.
and the outlook tumbles (must be expecting bad weather)
The West plunged and The NorthEast dropped to multi-year lows...

Less worse! Bullish!
I propose we start a new index, we'll call it the Homelessness Confidence Index. People will be polled about how likely they'll see themselves homeless within a given period of time, say 5 years. Who thinks this would be a good idea?

Its sad but in front of my store you would be able to get at least a 4% error margin polling homeless about "when they think they will be off the streets"! Your example assumes too much?
In the end, the your masters will win,
thanks Yoda.
Good enough for the algos...they were getting dusty!

Today the Philly is flat at 201 in spite of the ramp up this morning.
Ugly and getting uglier.
Buy the dip!
Hey, all we need is more subprime lending.
That and fresh baked fiat, right out of Mama Yellen's oven.
You didn't build that. Literally. Homebuilders are not going to build that.
Tyler, why you lie?
Breaking News: US homebuilder confidence edges higher in March YahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooNothing a few new scary weather terms cannot explain away. Polar vortex to become the mexi-drought this summer, etc.
The term polar vortex isn't anything new, it's just been a couple decades since one came down so far so persistently.
Other than that you're correct.
3 2 1 crash ....I Speculate a 30% drop in real estate in areas where it shot up 30% from Dec 2012 to May 2013 do to instutional overindulge nce.
The problem now seems to be how to make the news increasingly bad enough to keep stawk indexes levitating daily....and there's no way to stop this ride and get off, tha's the sad part. Like Bill Hicks said, it's just a ride, you go up and down and round and round.
It's fucking summer in L.A. already, totally blew over the spring buying season. See it is the weather.
..and the S&P goes STRAIGHT UP on the news.
1900 here we come!
Radiation vortex only needs a breeze
After this year's consolidation, RE will move even higher next year. Warning sign is that the housing prices in bad school districts are approaching the highs of last bubble. I don't know why ZH keeps posting such articles, who owns ABC Media.
NAR in da house
Now THAT is funny.
And just wait until they dip into the bowl of R.E. capital for higher taxes.
wheeeeeeeee!
Algos can't drive real home sales anymore than artificial interest rates can sustain an unreal level of real estate values. The only thing that will save real estate prices is hyper inflation - and that isn't a good thing.
Bullish.
