Citigroup Inc.’s analysts see several catalysts supporting further homebuilder outperformance through the second half of 2023.

With spring selling season typically giving way to a slower summer, investors are focused on whether resilient buyer demand, solid home prices and a potential Fed pause will support further homebuilder outperformance through the end of this year. A gauge of homebuilders is currently up 33% year-to-date, compared to the S&P 500’s 12% gain for that same time period.
