The Small Business Administration (SBA) issued a strong rebuke to the Department of Energy's transformer rule after NAHB voiced its strong concerns at a recent SBA forum, and Herb Kohler continues to give back to the housing industry.

We check in with NAHB Chief Economist Rob Dietz to get his view of the Fed's recent activity and his forecast moving forward.

New home sales were up ever so slightly last month, but given that the Fed just raised interest rates again, we might be seeing a slow spring season.

Existing home sales surged in February, but in a bit of good news, the median sales price was DOWN slightly from a year ago. Also, the new WOTUS rule is in effect, but the Supreme Court will soon weigh in.

Home builder sentiment was up in March for the third straight month. But the good vibes come with a whole lot of caveats as turmoil in the banking sector has builders keeping a watchful eye.

Will the ongoing banking crisis have an impact on the housing market? Probably, as it might provide the Fed with a pretext to slow or pause its interest rate campaign.

New home sales beat expectations and rose more than 7% in January. And NAHB senior economist provides context. Also, newly-elected NAHB 3rd Vice Chairman Bill Owens shares his vision for the Federation.

There were some notable declines reported today in housing market data. One good -- the FHA is lowering mortgage insurance premiums for first-time home buyers -- and one bad -- a decline in home sales.

Despite optimism from builders, several markers indicate that 2023 is off to a slow start.

On the latest episode of Housing Developments, NAHB CEO Jerry Howard and Chief Lobbyist Jim Tobin provide a recap of a successful 2023 International Builders’ Show, an economic overview for the year ahead and insights into the 2024 presidential race.
