  • More like no one will buy new construction homes because they’re too expensive to produce.

    New home builders are already struggling given upward price pressure on materials and high mortgage rates. Adding in a labor shortage will push the cost of construction up even more. Margins on these homes are low by historical standards and shrinking them further is not viable.

    So we will end up with fewer new homes, the ones we do have are more expensive, and the businesses building them are making less money.
