Forward guidance

Demand is correlated with residential construction and repair activity. Housing starts are expected to be approximately 1.35 million in 2024 and modestly above 1.40 million in 2025.

Tailwinds

  • New residential construction will continue to be an important source of supply for the demand created by undersupplied housing.
  • Favorable demographic trends.
  • Low unemployment.
  • Modest growth in home improvement spending is expected in 2025.
  • Age of U.S. housing stock and elevated levels of homeowner equity will continue to provide a favorable backdrop for repair-and-remodel spending.

Headwinds

  • Home affordability remains a challenge for many consumers due to home prices and the cost of financing.
  • Level of mortgage rates is limiting the supply of existing housing stock available for sale.
  • Macroeconomic factors will influence the near-term demand environment.
  • Sales and profitability exposure to declines in commodity product prices and rising input costs.
  • Future product pricing, particularly commodity products pricing and input costs, may be volatile.
