  • Check Out these New IPOs

    By Austin Higgins - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: PHM, TMHC, TPH

    Home builders are excited about the surge in demand for homes. But with an increase in demand, other obstacles arise--specifically, the cost of lumber and building supplies has increased faster than home appraisal values. Some mid-sized companies are struggling to finance the costs of new home building.

    By Shas Dey - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: KBH, LEN, TOL, TPH

    Housing demand has been soaring lately, and the nation's home builders are rushing to cash in on the opportunity.

    I have been following the exciting homebuilding industry closely in recent months. What I have been noticing is that there is a huge difference between a thriving industry and a bargain stock.

  • High Growth Expectations Lead to Overpriced Homebuilding Stocks

    By Bill Edson - February 19, 2013 | Tickers: AVB, PHM, TPH

    It’s great to be in the homebuilding business right now, but you should not buy these stocks since homebuilder share prices anticipate great growth.

    The Macro Picture

    Yes, there is cheap funding for new home buyers and for companies willing to sell shares at rich valuations to optimistic buyers or borrow money at low interest rates. This is good news for companies, but not good news for investors (the more »
