  • The move higher came as Treasury yields and mortgage rates fell, which could help homebuilders by stimulating demand.
  • Some real-estate companies could see a relatively modest impact from the tariffs and benefit if lower rates can help “unlock the housing market,” Citi analysts said.

The move higher for♏ homebuilder stocks came as Treasury yields and mortgage rates dropped, which could benefit hom꧅ebuilders by stimulating demand. The 10-year Treasury yield, which affects borrowing costs on a wide variety of loans including mortgages, slid to 4%. It fell as low as 3.86% earlier, its lowest level since October.

Citi analysts said Friday that some real-estate companies, including online brokers such as Redfin (RDFN), could see a relatively modest impact from the new tariff environment and benefit if lower rates can help “unlock the housing market.” However, the analysts said they still expect a net negative impact to the housing market.
