- Thursday, April 25, 3:24 PM The Homebuilder ETF (XHB +1.2%) gains after PulteGroup (PHM +5.5%) reported Q1 closings up 23%, with the average selling price up 10%. Meritage Homes (MTH +1.1%) yesterday reported a 17% increase in prices, while Ryland Group (RYL +6.7%) last night said its average price rose 8.2%. "Housing demand is greater than the supply of homes available for sale in many of the areas where we operate," says Meritage CEO Steven Hilton. Comment! [On the Move]
- Thursday, January 17, 9:25 AM A check on the homebuilder ETFs finds both XHB and ITB about 1% higher premarket following the big housing starts number. It's no news multi-family starts were of particular strength (longer-term chart), and Lennar (LEN) got on board this week, announcing its entry into that segment of the business. Comment! [U.S. Economy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 17, 2012, 9:06 AM Several homebuilders get downgraded at Raymond James, among them TOL, MDC, and RYL. All three - along with the rest of the sector - are showing solid premarket gains, however, as the strong housing starts number controls the tape. XHB +2.1% premarket. 1 Comment [U.S. Economy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, September 26, 2012, 3:57 PM Home builders (XHB -2.5%) have been selling off amid the surprise slight decline in new home sales last month. MFR isn't buying into the housing recovery mantra, believing it will be "quite some time" before seeing sustained strength, owing to continued intense competition from a huge overhang of existing homes. HOV -5.6%, SPF -5.3%, PHM -4.7%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, September 24, 2012, 1:13 PM Homebuilders slip despite a strong report from Lennar (LEN -2%) earlier today. MarketWatch's Sam Mamudi warns that much of the sector has already had a huge bounce, and with a slew of housing data due out this week, most of it is second-tier stuff and already baked into share prices, so we could be in for some heavy profit-taking on some of the bigger movers in the sector: TOL-1%, DHI -1.7%, HOV -1.3%, PHM -1.3%. ETFs: XHB -1.2%, ITB -1.4%. 1 Comment [U.S. Economy, On the Move]
- Tuesday, June 5, 2012, 11:01 AM Home builders add to early gains and rebound from a selloff yesterday following the decent ISM service sector print. Lennar (LEN) +4.4%, PluteGroup (PHM) +3.9%, D.R. Horton (DHI) +3.4%, M/I Homs (MHO) +4.7%, and the ITB sector ETF +2.33%. Comment! [On the Move]
- Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 3:15 PM While April's surprising 5.5% decline in pending home sales is nothing to celebrate, MKM Partners finds it consistent with its view of a choppy early-stage housing recovery, and isn't overly concerned that a recovery is at risk. The firm sticks with its call to buy homebuilder stocks (XHB -3.7%) such as Toll Brothers (TOL -5.8%) and Pulte (PHM -4.1%) on dips. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Thursday, May 17, 2012, 11:43 AM Housing stocks are having a bad day, with the Home Construction Index Fund (ITB) -3.1%, Standard Pacific (SPF) -6.9%, KB Home (KBH) -4%, PulteGroup (PHM) -5.1%, Hovnanian (HOV) -3.2% and Lennar (LEN) -3.9%. Today's weak economic data (I, II) may be pulling the stocks down following yesterday's mixed housing-starts print. Comment! [On the Move]
- Wednesday, January 11, 2012, 2:10 PM A big jump in new orders booked by Lennar (LEN +7.1%) lifts up shares of the company - as well as helping ring in bold double-digit gains for peers. Ticonderoga Securities analyst Stephen East explains all the fuss: "Orders are the crown jewel in this release, up 20% to 3,027, ahead of any Street estimate we are aware of." Homebuilder advancers: KBH +14.1%, MHO +12.1%, HOV +15.8%, BZH +6%. 2 Comments [On the Move]

The Last Boomer: XHB is my main position. I bought some ITB hoping that after underperforming for years, ITB may outperform in housing recovery.
-
madav1138: Yeah but what housing recovery? There is no housing recovery and probably won't be for years due to giant backlogs.
