Home builders may be a little hesitant in the confidence arena but despite the lack belief in the market, they do appear to be building more homes in the U.S. This rebound in homebuilding is expected to continue throughout the year, but will it solve persistent inventory issues?

 

Wells Fargo 2016 Housing Market Outlook said that homebuilding is expected to experience a gradual recovery. The report said quote single-family construction has been slow to come back on track with long-held norms relative to population and employment growth.
