Despite concerns over rising Treasury bond yields and the impact on mortgage rates, homebuilder stocks are witnessing an upward curve. Market optimism suggests confidence in ongoing housing demand despite higher borrowing costs, contributable in part to an ongoing housing supply shortage, the shift to remote working demanding more comfortable home spaces, and strong pandemic-era consumer savings.

This investment into EV technologies is necessary for moving in line with the future residential trends.
