Forward guidance
The full year outlook for 2023 is uncertain and is reflected in various industry forecasts for 2023 U.S housing starts that generally range from 1.2 million to 1.4 million units, compared with actual housing starts of 1.55 million in 2022.
Tailwinds
- Mortgage rates have declined from peak levels in late 2022.
- Measures of builder sentiment have improved from fourth quarter 2022 levels.
- The age of U.S. housing stock and elevated levels of homeowner equity have provided a favorable backdrop for repair-and-remodel spending.
Headwinds
- Home affordability remains a challenge for consumers.
- The Federal Reserve's ongoing actions in response to inflationary data and what impacts these actions have on future mortgage rates and the broader economy will influence the near-term demand environment.
- Industry forecasts project continued moderation of year-over-year growth in renovation spending.
- Economic uncertainty may also negatively impact homeowners' further investment in their residences.
- We expect further EWP price erosion in the second quarter.
