Shares of select homebuilders ticked higher Thursday as 30-year mortgage rates held steady near 5%, offering a measure of relief after recent volatility. The move coincided with stable housing data and modest optimism around summer sales momentum.
While not all builders joined the rally, investors pointed to resilience in the sector, particularly among firms with premium exposure or luxury developments. Analysts say if mortgage rates remain stable—or even fall slightly—homebuilders could benefit from improved affordability and stronger demand.
