Forward guidance

Economic uncertainty due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues. However, mortgage rate levels, continuation of work-from-home practices by many in the economy, and demographics in the U.S. have created a favorable demand environment for new residential construction, which we expect to continue in 2022.

Tailwinds

  • Mortgage rate levels are favorable for new residential construction.
  • Continuation of work-from-home practices supports housing demand.
  • U.S. demographics are creating a favorable demand environment.
  • Limited new and existing home inventory availability supports residential construction.
  • Age of the U.S. housing stock provides a favorable backdrop for repair-and-remodel spending.

Headwinds

  • COVID-19 variants continue to spread, causing short-term disruptions.
  • Labor shortages may continue to extend build times and limit activity.
  • Supply induced constraints on residential construction activity may continue to extend build times and limit activity.
  • Pace of residential construction may be affected by the cost of building materials and construction.
  • Economic impact of housing affordability may affect residential construction and repair-and-modeling activity.
