All signs point to a robust housing market recovery. Foremost, home builder confidence in the market for new single-family homes increased for the fifth consecutive month in February, reaching the longest period of sustained improvement since 2007.
The index, as measured by a National Association of Home Builders’ survey, rose from 25 to 29 on the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). Released in mid-February, the latest results mark the highest level the index has reached in more than four years.
