Public homebuilders on average have raised prices in about two-thirds of their communities, said BTIG analyst Carl Reichardt. This comes as the pricing gap between existing and new homes has narrowed, following a price appreciation in the resale market. "When the existing home market is seeing a price appreciation, it supports pricing power for new construction." However, as a consequence of recovery in new construction prices since last year, "affordability is close to its worst levels in at least the last three decades," said James Egan, Morgan Stanley housing strategist.

Homebuilding stock Lennar is one of the best-positioned names to capitalize on a housing market trough next year, according to Barclays. Analyst Matthew Bouley upgraded the homebuilder to overweight from equal weight, saying in a note to clients Wednesday that Lennar's size and past history of solid execution should help it navigate this environment. Barclays' upped its price target on Lennar to $116 from $85 a share, suggesting the stock's poised to rally 28% from Tuesday's close. Across the board, Bouley views many housing stocks as better situated for a solid 2023 and poised to benefit from the possibility of interest rates peaking. Bouley also upgraded shares of PulteGroup to an overweight rating, saying that the stock offers a "best-in-class" return on equity that isn't reflected in its valuation.
