Building Homes Across America
As of June 2025, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Housing Market Index fell to 32, reflecting weakened builder confidence in the face of elevated mortgage rates and high construction costs. However, single-family housing starts are expected to increase by 4.2% in 2025, reaching 1.3 million units, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
Several states, particularly those in the Southeast and Mountain West, are experiencing significant increases in new home construction. For example, Idaho, North Carolina, and South Carolina are among the leaders in new housing unit authorizations.
The U.S. Census Bureau reports that privately owned housing starts in June 2025 were 4.6% higher than in May. Despite fears about the impacts of tariffs, home builders are seeing a rise in demand across the country – and this is good news for local supply outlets that source top-quality materials from Carolina Atlantic™ for their clients.
