Forward guidance

Demand for the products we manufacture, as well as the products we purchase and distribute, is correlated with new residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling activity and light commercial construction.

Tailwinds

  • New residential construction is expected to remain an important source of supply for homebuyers.
  • Low unemployment.
  • Undersupply of existing housing stock available for sale.
  • Age of U.S. housing stock.
  • Elevated levels of homeowner equity have provided a favorable backdrop for repair-and-remodel spending.

Headwinds

  • Home affordability remains a challenge for many consumers due to the cost of housing combined with elevated mortgage rates.
  • Recent pressures on multi-family starts are expected to continue due to increased capital costs for developers combined with cooling rents and elevated supply.
  • Recent industry forecasts project mid-single-digit declines in 2024.
  • Macroeconomic factors.
  • Level and expectations for mortgage rates.
