Low borrowing costs and a decline in the supply of foreclosed homes have combined to provide a favorable environment for homebuilders in 2012. While new home sales fell slightly in August, 0.3 percent to an annual rate of 373,000, they still are roughly 30 percent higher than a year ago.
"Builders are a little more optimistic about future sales and buyer traffic and the mortgage environment is favorable," said Anika Khan, an economist at Wells Fargo Securities LLC. "New homes sales will continue to improve over the next few months and in the coming year."
