Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika NAHB Hausmarktindex

The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index in the US was unchanged at 46 in December 2024, the same as in November but slightly below forecasts of 47, as high home prices and mortgage rates offset renewed hope about a better regulatory business climate in 2025. The gauge for current sales conditions held steady at 48 while the one charting traffic of prospective buyers posted a one-point decline to 31. On the other hand, future sales expectations have increased to 66, the highest since April 2022, as builders "are also anticipating future regulatory relief in the aftermath of the election", said NAHB Chairman Carl Harris. Meanwhile, 31% of builders cut home prices in December, unchanged from November. The average price reduction was steady at 5%. The use of sales incentives was 60% in December, also unchanged from November.
