The big builders are ordsprog

The big builders are marking down their outlooks for 2006 and rolling out some sales incentives -- the sort of things we see when the market starts to weaken on the demand side.

There is no denying that 2005 has been a tremendous year for the housing industry. Very favorable interest rates and strong buyer demand has helped spur the housing market beyond the record sales set in 2004. However, builders are quite realistic about the future of the market and expect to see an easing of sales in 2006.

While new-home sales have been quite strong throughout 2005, we see a cooling of the market to a healthy and more sustainable pace in the months ahead, as substantiated by recent surveys of our builders. For 2006, we expect to see a 6 percent to 7 percent drop in sales, but certainly no reason for alarm. This would make 2006 the second or third best year in housing history.

Earnings are the most likely catalyst in the short term. The market is very concerned about inflation and the consumer rolling over because of higher prices. If the outlooks call for strong fourth-quarter sales, then you could see something good happen.

I think it reflects an aggressive positioning of the major national builders to capture market share. What they are doing is throwing a lot of product out in the market and hoping that the sales will match the starts.

It was in a market that was growing but has declined, at least as far as housing starts. What it all comes down to is housing starts. Our benchmark is 3,000 starts annually in a market. There were not very many in these areas and 95 percent of our customers are builders. It is not a people issue, it is a market issue.

Automotive demand carried the market through the recession years but must now cope with a modest downturn in late 2005 and across 2006. Thus, special quality bars will continue to see softer demand from this key market in 2006.

Unfortunately, the current demand trough seems to have deepened considerably. Back to school sales have been modest, at best, and demand continues to weaken internationally.

Builders are talking big. They all said they will build more houses in early 2006 than in early 2005. You don't have to worry that 2006 will be a good, strong market. But expect it to be a highly competitive market.

I think the incentives are going to continue to be necessary. If you don't play the incentive game, you'll lose market share. At least in the first half of the year, even in the best case scenario you're just coming out of the recession, you'll need the support of incentives to maintain sales.

It's been the demand side more than the supply side keeping this market as firm as it has been, so when you start to get some data showing questions on the demand side ... it is going to take out some of that premium,

This is slightly baffling, given that existing home sales have been strengthening, ... It may be a reflection of caution on the part of builders, who have been reluctant to keep pace with sales because of fear the market strength will not last.

Some sectors, such as foundry, microchip packaging and components for LCD televisions that have better demand outlooks were still the market's leaders.
