Housing market needs to 'get back into pace' amid interest rates

With the spring homebuying season around the corner, and mortgage rates rising after a two-week decline, investors may be wondering where a good entry point would be to add homebuilder stocks to their portfolios. UBS US Homebuilders & Building Products Equity Research Analyst John Lovallo joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the housing market and what investors should keep an eye on when considering some of the top homebuilding stocks. Lovallo affirms: "KB (KBH) and Lennar (LEN) are two homebuilders that we have buy ratings on and we have a favorable opinion on. For DR Horton (DHI) though... it's a couple things: One, it's the largest builder by volume, by call it 10 or 11 percent. There are a lot of advantages to the size and scale. They also attack what we believe is the hottest part of the market, which is that first-time entry-level buyer, where frankly you're looking at a need-based, event-driven, life-event driven — meaning children or marriage, things of that nature — type buyer... I think it checks a lot of boxes." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Yahoo Finance Live.

U.S. housing: Homebuilders try to find silver-lining between mortgage rates

U.S. housing data revealed permits and home completions rose in August, while housing starts dropped month-over-month and year-over-year. Jessica Lautz, National Association of REALTORS Deputy Chief Economist and Vice President of Research, provides insights into homebuilder and consumer sentiment, between supply conditions in the housing market and mortgage rates above 7%. "At least we're not looking at last year's really strong demand, that frenetic activity that was going on in the real estate market where we had actually had 5.5 offers for every... [listing]," Lautz states. "If you're a consumer you have an opportunity to tour a home. — you are buying it at a higher interest rate, you may have the opportunity to refinance that in the future. So that could be the silver lining." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Yahoo Finance Live.
