FYI: Lately, it seems that there hasn’t been a whole lot of positive data coming out of the residential housing sector, but this morning we actually received some good news for a change. According to the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB), homebuilder sentiment for the month of October unexpectedly increased from 67 up to 68 versus estimates for a decline to 66. In spite of this month’s increase, the index is still off of its high of 74 that was hit right at the end of 2017 when the GOP tax plan was passed.
