📈 Builder Stock Snapshot

The big names in residential construction showed minimal movement this week:
    •    D.R. Horton (DHI): $125.05 (▼0.01%)
    •    PulteGroup (PHM): $103.36 (▼0.76%)
    •    KB Home (KBH): $53.44 (▼0.6%)

Builder stocks remain steady. The market seems to be in a holding pattern while watching interest rates and buyer demand.

Builders we work with have started adjusting their approach—shortening take-down timelines, revisiting pricing, and showing renewed interest in smaller deals with strong angles.

📉 Mortgage Rate Trends

Rates edged up slightly this week, continuing to hover just under 7%.

Rates remain elevated but stable. Buyers continue to face affordability pressure, especially first-time buyers.
