Homebuilding Stocks In A Bear Market

It`s done. You can a fork in this housing recovery. And the homebuilders stocks are showing you. Again, one or two year lows! The Dow Jones Industrials is over 17,000 points, everybody talking about a recovery and the homebuilders are in a bear market. They don`t even see the recovery. How can you have a recovery without the housing sector?

Many Homebuilders Are Making 52 Week Lows

Beneath the averages there are a lot of stocks that have been clobbered over the last 11 months. Some of the hardest hit apart from gold stocks, the homebuilders. And I have been pretty negative on this sector for a while and we have a lot of homebuilders making 52 week lows this week. Some of these stocks are at 2 year lows, not just 1 year lows!

Investment Outlook: U.S. Economy, Real Estate & Stock Market

If Janet Yellen is true to her word, by the beginning of next year there will be no QE and the Federal Reserve will be closer to pulling the trigger on raising rates. So, I think without all this extra help even if rates are still at zero, people will be preparing for interest rates not to be zero and the Federal Reserve will not be doing all this QE, I don`t think this bubble economy will be nowhere as bubbly.

I believe the real estate market will continue to soften and potentially by then it will be in outright decline in home prices, the stock market could be quite a bit lower if we stay the course between now and the beginning of 2015.
