Homebuilder stocks like Lennar (LEN), Toll Brothers (TOL), and D.R. Horton (DHI) rise as investors consider possible exemptions for US President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
HousingWire lead analyst Logan Mohtashami joins Wealth with Madison Mills to take a closer look at the housing market and the impact of tariffs.
Tariffs will increase material costs for homebuilders, which raises concerns about increased housing costs; Mohtashami says the "concern is [builders are] not going to be building a lot of homes," contributing to ongoing affordability challenges.
"For the builders, it’s a supply and margin story right now. And they were not happy about anything talking about tariffs," he adds, highlighting low homebuilder confidence.
