I’m not breaking news to say that the U.S. real estate market is on fire. This has helped place many homebuilders in the spotlight as investments to consider. But one thing you want to understand is, ...

Majority of the properties belong to boomers. With the sky-high property prices, ordinary millenniums and later generation can't afford to buy their own. With the boomers gone in 20 years, there will be surplus in the market, at a cheaper price.

This has helped place many homebuilders in the spotlight as investments to consider.\nBut one thing you want to understand is, it’s not just individuals and families that are buying houses these days. There are hedge funds, alternative investment funds and investors from overseas converting their home currency into U.S. investments.\nWhat’s more, electrical supplies and equipment that are made in China have been hard to get since the embargo went into effect a couple years ago. And during the pandemic, lumber companies shut down and the demand for lumber has forced the prices to soar.\nThis has been tough for developers and contractors, especially those with jobs underway. They’ve been hit with price increases for materials as well as significant delays. Even if you have deals done, you can’t move on until you satisfy your investors — and financers.\nThese homebuilders aren’t the ones you want to ride out this crazy time:\n\nLandsea Homes(NASDAQ:LSEA)\nFrontdoor(NASDAQ:FTDR)\nTaylor Morrison Homes(NYSE:TMHC)\nCavco Industries(NASDAQ:CVCO)\nLegacy Housing(NASDAQ:LEGH)\nPatrick Industries(NASDAQ:PATK)\n\nHomebuilder Stocks to Avoid: Landsea Homes (LSEA)\nIt may seem like boutique homebuilders would be a great way to play this housing boom. And that would make LSEA a perfect choice.\nHowever, smaller builders have a tougher time getting materials since they don’t carry the heft and volume of bigger builders. That means a company with a market cap of just $384 million is having to scramble to find lumber and parts, as well as work crews.\nIn theory, LSEA should be in a great spot, building master-planned communities in the top U.S. cities. But buying that real estate also costs a lot money, so growth is limited in that direction. Development has slowed. And many people are moving out of the cities where they’re building these exclusive communities with the advent of work from home.\nLSEA is down 22% year-to-date. It gets an F rating in myPortfolio Grader.\nFrontdoor (FTDR)\nYou may not have heard of Frontdoor but it’s likely you’ve seen plenty of commercials for American Home Shield. That’s one of the home service brands that FTDR owns. It also owns the brands, HSA, OneGuard and Landmark. They insure the bigger ticket items in houses, to defray the costs of equipment repairs or replacements.\nIt’s technically the only stock here that isn’t a homebuilder, but its services are directly linked with the homebuilders.\nThe trouble is, many new homes come with coverages on appliances, etc. And the barriers to entry in this market aren’t significant, so there are competitors as well.\nWhat’s more, as long as demand outstrips supply its growth is limited. And all the investor money (as opposed to individual buyers) in houses, means they’re not buying these policies.\nFTDR is also expensive, yet it’s down 2% year-to-date. It gets a D rating in myPortfolio Grader.\nHomebuilder Stocks to Avoid: Taylor Morrison Homes (TMHC)\nThere are a lot of small to mid-sized homebuilders out there, and TMHC is one of them. It has a $3 billion market cap, and has properties across the West, Southwest and Sun Belt. And its homes are in the mid-priced range, which puts them in a good spot for investors to buy in during these low rates.\nThe thing is there isn’t anything particularly unique about its business or its communities. Even TMHC’s website lacks an About Us section where most homebuilders look to differentiate themselves from the pack.\nThe best thing you can say is it’s reasonably priced here, but it’s not garnering much attention. TMHC stock is down 3% year-to-date. It gets a D rating in myPortfolio Grader.\nCavco Industries (CVCO)\nLaunched in 1965, CVCO specializes in modular homes. It also builds cabins for parks. The latter business has potential, but it won’t be booming until the new wave of covid-19 wanes and there’s more interest in outdoor tourism in local, state and national parks.\nCVCO has a long history in the entry-level homebuilders sector and it also has a nationwide sales and distribution network as well as a financing arm. But this isn’t the sector that investors are buying into right now.\nThe stock is up 22% year-to-date, which is a solid return. But it doesn’t have much more headroom here. CVCO gets a D rating in myPortfolio Grader.\nHomebuilder Stocks to Avoid: Legacy Housing (LEGH)\nThis is another manufactured/modular home company that joined the market in 2005. As a Texas-based company, it specializes in entry level manufactured homes as well as tiny houses and oilfield housing.\nAgain, there’s certainly a need for this housing and there’s demand. But this isn’t the kind of housing where a company can expect to expand its margins. It’s more about growing volume, since the housing is somewhat commoditized, and the locations aren’t prime real estate.\nLEGH is up 8% year-to-date and has a $400 million market cap. It’s not a bad stock but it isn’t where the big growth in homebuilding is right now. LEGH is also exposed to the volatile oil markets, and the recent haircut in prices and choppy economy doesn’t bode well for expansion there. It gets a D rating in myPortfolio Grader.\nPatrick Industries (PATK)\nDuring the pandemic, one of the hottest sectors was stocks that could get people out, without getting them around other people. Recreational vehicles and boats were very popular among investors and vacationers.\nBut those days are in our rearview. PATK builds components and materials for the manufacture of RVs, marine and modular housing companies. It’s the company behind the manufactured housing companies.\nAgain, homebuilders in this sector aren’t the ones that will be experience the biggest benefits of the housing boom. And the RV and boating boom is a bit tired now too.\nThat doesn’t mean PATK is doomed, it simply means that there are better places for your money to grow.\nPATK is up 14% year-to-date and is trading at a current price-to-earnings ratio of 14x. It also has a 1.4% dividend. It’s just losing momentum here. It gets a D rating in myPortfolio Grader.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":809674958,"gmtCreate":1627369670174,"gmtModify":1703488538424,"author":{"id":"3581918772657410","authorId":"3581918772657410","name":"Hesliut","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581918772657410","authorIdStr":"3581918772657410"},"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809674958","repostId":1106400471,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5345524,"gmtCreate":1627380020273,"gmtModify":1663231565972,"authorId":3581504913688063,"author":{"id":3581504913688063,"idStr":"3581504913688063","authorId":3581504913688063,"name":"TeikLeong","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":809674958,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>done</u>","text":"<u>done</u>","html":"<u>done</u>"},{"id":5344329,"gmtCreate":1627372043780,"gmtModify":1663231559549,"authorId":3581317711527033,"author":{"id":3581317711527033,"idStr":"3581317711527033","authorId":3581317711527033,"name":"Chanelyap","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ead5a4e57e2f9f018e7802a33c0a28f5","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":809674958,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Ok","text":"Ok","html":"Ok"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":809647262,"gmtCreate":1627369052856,"gmtModify":1703488525740,"author":{"id":"3568580098685907","authorId":"3568580098685907","name":"2020TS","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/11248151fdcb83034da72e0a80b4d0ae","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3568580098685907","authorIdStr":"3568580098685907"},"htmlText":"Only in big cities price are going up, buyer have to pay for it.","listText":"Only in big cities price are going up, buyer have to pay for it.","text":"Only in big cities price are going up, buyer have to pay for it.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809647262","repostId":1106400471,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5344002,"gmtCreate":1627369681479,"gmtModify":1663231561126,"authorId":3581918772657410,"author":{"id":3581918772657410,"idStr":"3581918772657410","authorId":3581918772657410,"name":"Hesliut","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":809647262,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"True","text":"True","html":"True"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":809627430,"gmtCreate":1627367685520,"gmtModify":1703488496247,"author":{"id":"3584790043361762","authorId":"3584790043361762","name":"Dragon77","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d9b0b2898d9b2aece5490fa86fd5bd6f","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3584790043361762","authorIdStr":"3584790043361762"},"htmlText":"Good&nbsp;","listText":"Good&nbsp;","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/809627430","repostId":1106400471,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":809628441,"gmtCreate":1627367331783,"gmtModify":1703488489287,"author":{"id":"3586322499456500","authorId":"3586322499456500","name":"LetsAllHuat","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b99cfe4b0a492018c40761a39a193aa8","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3586322499456500","authorIdStr":"3586322499456500"},"htmlText":"Majority of the properties belong to&nbsp;boomers.
