In this episode of Mortgage Conversations with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna tackle a puzzling market divergence: homebuilder stocks are rallying even as 30-year fixed mortgage rates inch higher. As of June 7, 2026, the average 30-year rate sits at 6.48 percent, up slightly from last week, yet the XHB homebuilder ETF is up 0.3 percent over five days and KB Home has gained 1.8 percent. Lucas explains that the key is not the level of rates but the direction of builder profitability—specifically, how falling land costs and falling lumber prices are offsetting higher financing costs. He walks through the math: new home prices are down 2.2 percent year-over-year to a median of $403,200, but builders' input costs have fallen even faster, widening margins. Luna notes that the Case-Shiller index is down and asks whether this is sustainable. Lucas points to the recent jobs report and Fed Chair Warsh's comments, which suggest rates may stay higher for longer, but argues that builders have hedged their rate risk by buying down mortgage rates for buyers—a strategy that keeps sales volumes stable. The episode closes with a debate on whether the rally can continue if rates push past 7 percent again. #HomebuilderStocks #KBHome #XHB #ITB #MortgageRates #HousingMarket #RealEstate #FedPolicy #BuilderProfits #LandCosts #LumberPrices #MedianHomePrice #CaseShiller #HousingStarts #BuildingPermits #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
