It is thereby squeezing the pool of existing homes, which are typically more affordable than new construction. 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.

Jan 31 (Reuters) - U.S. homebuilder PulteGroup Inc (PHM.N) on Tuesday beat Wall Street estimates for quarterly profit on the back of higher house prices in a tightening market. Higher prices have helped U.S. homebuilders offset the impact from rising prices of commodities, labor shortages and ongoing supply chain disruptions over the past year. Pulte's sales rose nearly 19% to $5.17 billion for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022. The homebuilder's quarterly net income rose to $882 million, or $3.85 per share from $663 million, or $2.61 per share, a year earlier. Analysts, on average, had expected PulteGroup's quarterly net income to be $2.93 per share on a revenue of $4.59 billion, according to Refinitiv.
