A little snippet from Zacks Confidential:
There are a lot of indicators pointing the way higher for home builders:
Healthy consumer thanks to unemployment rate down from 10% in 2009 to 5% today.
Lower commodity prices = lower cost to build a home.
Ultra-low mortgage rates allow folks to afford bigger homes.
Those are some pretty gusty tailwinds that bode well for this industry and explain why it has such a high Zacks Industry Rank.
