Industry forecasts for 2024 U.S. housing starts are generally consistent with actual housing starts of 1.42 million in 2023. Home affordability remains a challenge, but new residential construction is expected to remain an important source of supply for homebuyers. Home improvement spending is expected to remain robust compared to history, but recent industry forecasts project mid-single-digit declines in 2024.
Positive Outlook
- Recent declines in mortgage rates.
- Homebuilders responding with various mechanisms to attract buyers.
- Resilient economy.
- Elevated mortgage rates which limits existing home inventory for sale.
- Potential for future rate reductions has created optimism that single-family starts will reflect year-over-year growth.
Challenges Ahead
- Home affordability remains a challenge for consumers.
- Multi-family starts may pull back from recent record highs due to capital costs for developers combined with cooling rents and elevated supply.
- Economic uncertainty.
- Higher borrowing costs.
- Recent industry forecasts project mid-single-digit declines in 2024.
