US NAHB housing market index
US NAHB housing market index

Details:

  • Single family 48 vs 41 prior
  • Next six months 57 vs 45 prior
  • Traffic of prospective buyers 29 vs 24 prior

This is the largest jump in 11 months and speaks to the pent-up demand for US homes. I expect housing to be a major tailwind to the US economy for the remainder of the decade.
