With the housing market recovery, a significant gap has been created between demand and supply of homes. Compared to the rising demand for new homes, there is a shortage of adequate supply of homes. As a result, most of the homebuilding companies are investing heavily in building homes.

However, rising home prices and a spike in interest/mortgage rates since May 2013 have slowed down the pace of orders and traffic in the homebuilding industry. This Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) company also witnessed weak order growth in first quarter 2014.

Better-ranked stocks in the homebuilding sector include Gafisa S.A. GFA, Toll Brothers, Inc. TOL and TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. TPH. All the companies carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
