Homebuilders Face Diverging Trends as NVR Reports 8% Drop in New Orders in Florida and Texas Amid Rising Inventory

As earnings season approaches, homebuilders are facing contrasting conditions across different regions in the U.S. Builders with exposure to California, the Midwest, and the Northeast are benefiting from tight supply trends and rising prices, according to industry insights. In contrast, the largest builder in America has reported that rising housing inventory is beginning to affect sales in Florida and Texas. Recent results from major housing companies reveal a decline in new home orders, with NVR reporting an 8% year-over-year drop, which was unexpected given prior growth expectations. This downturn is compounded by a similar decline at D.R. Horton (DHI). Together, DHI and NVR account for over 100,000 new homes sold annually, impacting the broader housing stock market, as evidenced by a drop in shares of builders like Builders FirstSource (BLDR). Additionally, publicly traded builders have increased their market share in the U.S. homebuilding sector to 53% in 2024, reflecting a trend of larger companies consolidating market presence.
