Scores for each component of the survey then are used to calculate an index, in which any number greater than 50 indicates more homebuilders view conditions as favorable than not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSix consecutive monthly declines for the HMI is a clear sign of a slowing housing market in a high inflation, slow growth economic environment,\u201d said Jerry Konter, NAHB chairman, according to a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entry-level market has been particularly affected by declines in housing affordability \u2014\u00a0 according to Konter and NAHB chief economist Robert Dietz \u2014\u00a0as building material and construction costs are up 19% year over year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dietz also <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.housingwire.com\/articles\/purchase-mortgage-rates-jump-to-5-23\/?__hstc=43385018.c1200c13b5ffe2d787c2a413a4fe14b9.1635527061029.1655242328847.1655302417054.397&amp;__hssc=43385018.8.1655302417054&amp;__hsfp=1927965812\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cited rising mortgage rates<\/a> as a reason for declining builder confidence: \u201cOn the demand side of the market, the increase for mortgage rates for the first half of 2022 has priced out a significant number of prospective home buyers, as reflected by the decline for the traffic measure of the HMI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three other indices monitored by the NAHB also fell in June. The gauge measuring current sales conditions fell one point, month over month, to 77, while the component analyzing sales expectations for the next six months fell to 61 points and the index charting traffic of prospective buyers posted a five-point drop to 48 points. It&#8217;s the first time this gauge has fallen below the break-even level of 50 since June 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regionally, the three-month moving averages for HMI scores fell in all four regions to 56 in the Midwest, 78 in the South, 74 in the West and 71 in the Northeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet another indicator of <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/oh-no-look-at-this-agents-react-to-a-housing-market-slowdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deteriorating conditions<\/a> in the market for newly built single family homes, <a href=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/articles\/homebuilders-get-hammered-sales-decrease-in-may\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">53% of homebuilders<\/a> surveyed in the <strong>BTIG\/HomeSphere State of the Industry Report<\/strong>, published earlier this week, saw year-over-year decreases of sales in May.
