US builder sentiment falls as interest rates rise
Original: Builder sentiment falls as interest rates rise
US homebuilder confidence has dropped as rising interest rates push up borrowing costs for new homes. Industry reports say higher mortgage rates are cooling demand and making builders more pessimistic about current sales conditions and the outlook. The decline adds to signs that rate-sensitive housing sectors are being hit hardest as the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy, with buyers delaying purchases and builders reconsidering projects.
Why now: Rising interest rates are squeezing the housing market, and fresh sentiment data confirms builders are turning more pessimistic.
