3 Homebuilder Stocks With Tons of Value

With housing demand likely to continue strongly, it could be an opportune time to load up quality homebuilding stocks Toll Brothers, Inc. (TOL), Taylor Morrison Home Corp. (TMHC), and M/I Homes (MHO), which carry substantial value. Read on…

Despite surging home prices, the housing industry is showing no signs of slowing down, thanks to robust demand from homeowners. Given this backdrop, it could be wise to invest in fundamentally sound homebuilder stocks Toll Brothers, Inc. (TOL), Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (TMHC), and M/I Homes, Inc. (MHO), which are trading at a discount relative to their peers.

In the light of prevailing market tantrums, the homebuilding sector has remained surprisingly resilient, as evident by the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF’s (ITB) 64.2% gains over the past nine months.

According to a recent article in Axios on the housing shortage, Freddie Mac estimates were 3.8 million housing units short, keeping the home prices high. Higher home prices can lead to higher profit margins for builders and increased demand for new construction from homebuyers looking for more affordable options.

The luxury housing market remains strong in the first quarter of 2023, despite the ongoing re-alignment from its overheated state of the last two years. High-net-worth consumers still consider real estate a sound investment, leading to an increase in demand for luxury housing.

Driven by increasing demand for luxury homes and rising infrastructure projects in developing countries, the global construction market is projected to be $10.54 trillion in 2023. Further, the market is expected to reach $16.14 trillion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 8.9%. Moreover, the U.S. residential construction market is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 3% by 2028.

Given these growth projections, the homebuilding industry is expected to grow steadily in the upcoming years. Hence, it could be wise to add TOL, TMHC, and MHO to your portfolios for solid returns in the future.
