Home building is very cyclical and momentum oriented. It really depends on where we are in the economic cycle, and how housing is performing. Building starts have remained strong, and there’s still demand but not enough supply. Labour and land shortages will also push prices up. In a lowering interest climate, these stocks tend to do well, where as if the interest rate rises, they usually take a hit. If you can put up with a little bit of volatility, this sector would not be a bad idea. People have to live somewhere and the home builders and construction companies will do well over time.
