KB Home's housing market warning: Incentives might hide overpriced homes
Want more housing market stories from Lance Lambert's ResiClub in your inbox? Subscribe to the ResiClub newsletter. He was buried in a mushroom casket. Soon he'll be part of the soil CEO of an $11 billion builder empire warns that these housing markets face a short-term oversupply Lifting the veil on the critical—and oft-times overlooked—factors driving AI growth Since the pandemic housing boom fizzled out, major homebuilders across various markets—especially in top pandemic boomtowns—have had to cut net effective home prices to avoid a deeper sales pullback. However, some builders, like Lennar and D.R. Horton, have primarily done so through larger incentives—such as mortgage rate buydowns—in part to protect community comps and avoid upsetting buyers already in their backlog. Speaking to analysts on Tuesday, KB Home—which prefers outright home price cuts over incentives—said that some buyers turning to some of their competitors are effectively overpaying for new builds just to get rate buydowns, and if they need to sell in the immediate future, they might not be able to fetch the artificially high base price they paid. 'I believe that there are customers [of other homebuilders] that are overpaying for the home to effectively get an incentive. So they're tied into this higher price that they're gonna be stuck with forever until they sell that home,' KB Home COO Rob McGibney said on the builder's June 23 earnings call. 'They may potentially be upside down when they try to sell that home versus a clean, simple, transparent way of selling—the value of what we offer.' Below are ResiClub's other takeaways from KB Home's Q2 earnings report and earnings call this week. KB Home's net new orders by Q2: Q2 2018 —> 3,532 Q2 2019 —> 4,064 Q2 2020 —> 1,758 (COVID-19 lockdowns) Q2 2021 —> 4,300 Q2 2022 —> 3,914 Q2 2023 —> 3,936 Q2 2024 —> 3,997 Q2 2025 —> 3,460 'The actions we began to take late in our 2025 first quarter—evaluating base pricing in every community relative to local market conditions, then repositioning our communities with a focus on offering the most compelling value—led to strong net orders in March. However, our net orders declined in April and May, which did not follow the typical spring trajectory,' McGibney said. 'As a result, even though our average community count was in line with our projection, and our cancellation rate was fairly steady, our monthly absorption pace per community was 4.5 net orders compared to 5.5 in last year's second quarter. While our net order pace was below our internal goal, we believe it ranks high among the large production homebuilders,' he added. While the pricing story continues to be very local and vary a great deal across the country, most markets are at least seeing some softening. 'I would say that all of the markets we operate in experienced some level of softening at some point during the quarter,' McGibney told investors on Tuesday. 'Markets that I would say where we're still seeing relatively strong demand and sales performance would be Las Vegas, the Inland Empire [in Southern California], the North Bay in Northern California, and Texas markets like Houston and San Antonio.' McGibney added: 'By contrast, some of the markets that are facing some more significant headwinds recently are Sacramento and Seattle. They've slowed down a little bit, and we've had to do a little more there with price relative to some of the others. Markets like Austin, Colorado, Jacksonville, and Orlando [have been weaker too]. Places where resale supply has increased starts putting pressure on pricing and creating more competition and just more choices for buyers. But, you know, it is very local, very specific. [We] can't put a market condition on an entire state or even an entire market in most cases. It's community by community.' On Tuesday, KB Home told analysts that it cut base home prices in half of its communities in the quarter ending May 31. 'In the markets where you've seen resale inventory or resale supply get back to norms or above those norms of six or seven months of supply—those resales become a more formidable competitor than they were to us back when we would measure months of supply in terms of weeks instead of months. And on the flip side, most of the markets where resale supply has stayed fairly suppressed and limited, we're tending to see better results there,' McGibney said. During the pandemic housing boom, many publicly traded homebuilders achieved record profit margins as home prices soared and buyer demand ran red-hot. Ever since the national housing demand boom fizzled out in the summer of 2022, many large homebuilders have reduced margin and made affordability/pricing adjustments where and when needed to maintain their sales pace or prevent a bigger sales pullback. That includes KB Home, which reported a housing gross profit margin of 19.3% in Q2 2025—or 19.7% excluding inventory charges—down from a cycle peak of 26.7% in Q3 2022. Its margin has now compressed all the way back to pre-pandemic 2019 levels. So far, tariffs haven't had much impact on KB Home's material costs. 'Homes that we started in May came in at the lowest cost per square foot, year to date, as our divisions are continuing to drive better performance on cost. Our costs, including lumber, are protected for almost all of our third-quarter starts under the terms of our supply contracts. Our national purchasing team, working with our divisions, has done an excellent job holding off tariff-related cost increases, with only two minor price increases to date,' McGibney said.

High mortgage rates are still impacting home sales in 2025
Spring usually brings with it open houses, moving vans and new mortgages. But for many would-be homebuyers, this year's homebuying season felt more like Groundhog Day. Ever since interest rates for mortgages climbed from 3% following the COVID-19 pandemic to over 6% starting in late 2022, home sales in the U.S. have cooled to a level not seen in decades. Over the past 30 years, it's been typical for more than 5 million homes to change hands annually, according to data from the National Association of Realtors. In 2024, however, barely 4 million homes were bought and sold — the fewest since 1995. Not only have 'for sale' signs become more rare, but there are now fewer prospective homebuyers checking out properties than in prior years — some perhaps discouraged by the current state of the market. Homes are lingering on the market far longer than they have in recent memory as well. In January, residential real estate company Redfin reported that homes took longer to sell than any time since 2019. Tariff uncertainty will likely extend that timeline even further, at least in the short term. Although home prices are falling in some markets — particularly in parts of California, Florida and Texas — prices are still climbing in most other residential markets in the U.S. The reasons for the current home sales slump are multifaceted, but housing supply, insurance, demographics, and macroeconomic conditions all play a role. In this article, Experian focuses on the role mortgage rates have on home sales, as measured by home loan originations. There is a relationship between mortgage financing rates and home prices in the U.S., where most homebuyers finance their purchase with a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. But it may not be the relationship you'd expect. According to a study by the Urban Institute, home price appreciation has historically increased slightly when mortgage rates are higher. This tilt occurs because higher interest rates are typically associated with robust economic growth, and rate cuts are often the result of central banks seeking to stimulate a slowing economy. As we were reminded last fall, however, Federal Reserve interest rate cuts don't necessarily lead to lower mortgage rates the same way they would for, say, credit cards. In fact, since the first rate cut in September 2024, mortgage rates have barely budged — if anything, they've trended slightly higher in the months following the cuts. You can extend the line back even further. Ever since the 10 interest rate hikes executed by the Federal Reserve from 2022 to 2024, mortgage rates have remained stuck in a narrow, elevated range from near 6% at the lowest to almost 8% at the high end. Indeed, there are recent instances where declining mortgage rates boosted home sales: It occurred that way for most of the 21st century. As rates declined from 8% in 2000 to below 3% during the height of the pandemic, home sales generally increased. Notably, however, home sales were interrupted for a few years by a little thing known as the Great Recession. When mortgage rates climbed from those ultra-low mortgage rate levels several years ago, it wasn't surprising to see home sales volume decline. Quick math reveals the increase in mortgage rates from 3% to 6% increases a homebuyer's average monthly mortgage payment by 34%, from $1,657 to $2,227. Even if buyers were willing to tighten their belts to unhealthy levels in order to make payments, underwriters of mortgages wouldn't be willing to make loans where most of a homeowner's after-tax income services their debt payments. Elevated mortgage rates mean persistently higher mortgage costs for prospective homebuyers, some of whom are being priced out of the market entirely under these conditions. Looking forward to the rest of 2025 and beyond, mortgage rates will likely stay relatively unchanged unless the Federal Reserve gets more aggressive with its rate cuts than the one percentage point already made. With whiffs of inflation still in the air, however, the Fed has signaled that it's unlikely since reducing rates could reignite price hikes. Meanwhile, a recent downgrade of the U.S. Treasury's credit rating by Moody's will mean more near-term upward pressure on mortgage rates, not downward. On top of everything we've covered here, there are also the secondary factors buffeting the homebuying market, including: The cost of rent: Lower rents mean less incentive to move from renting to owning. Cash buyers: All-cash buyers tend to outbid those financing, since they'll be assuming no debt; sellers tend to prefer them too. Tariff paralysis: No one wants to make a big decision, families and executives alike, amid all the uncertainty. Insurance costs: Sharply rising insurance costs are also factors making homebuying less likely than in some markets this summer. Unless these factors let up, it's unlikely the conditions buyers (and renters) face will change in the near future. However, despite the pessimistic news facing homebuyers broadly, it's important to understand that home prices are driven more by local economic conditions, not national trends. If the local economy is healthy, then it will attract more workers and create a virtuous and stable cycle of economic growth. In the coming months, everyone will see how large the economic 'if' is in impacting local mortgage markets.

Cracking the case of the global black pepper shortage — should you stock up on the spice?
Whether you're marinating meat, making a homemade alfredo sauce or adding a kick to your salad, you likely reach for black pepper in your spice cabinet — but there are concerns that this universally-loved household spice might soon become harder to come by. South of the border, prices for black pepper jumped by six per cent in late November due to a global shortage of black peppercorn, according to a report from U.S. spice manufacturer and importer Majestic Spice. Seven months later, supplies remain short across the world and costs have remained steep. With black pepper production down, will Canadians have to say goodbye to flavourful recipes benefitting from the bold, earthy spice? Here's what you need to know. There have been issues with crop yields in countries where black pepper is produced including Vietnam, India and Brazil, some of which are the top providers of the spice to Canada and for most of the world, said Sylvain Charlebois, senior director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, who specializes in food distribution and policy. 'Pepper is not always easy to grow when you don't have the proper climate,' Charlebois said, adding that another challenge causing the shortage is that many farmers have 'pivoted' and opted to grow other crops that are more profitable, such as coffee and cocoa. Black pepper production in India dropped by 16 per cent year over year, Majestic Spice reported in May, noting production was down seven per cent in Vietnam. According to research, climate change and unpredictable weather in peppercorn-producing countries affects the quality and taste of black pepper, making the crops less profitable for farmers. There have also been supply chain issues since the COVID-19 pandemic and the market has yet to recover, Charlebois said, adding to the increase in costs. The black pepper shortage and rising prices in Canada started about a year ago but most people haven't noticed, according to Charlebois. This is due to people purchasing black pepper once every two to three years, he said, and less frequently than other food items. According to Statistics Canada consumer price data , Canadians saw a 2.5 per cent increase in the cost of 'condiments, spices and vinegars index' in May compared to the same period last year. This index includes black pepper and other items such as pickled olives, pickles, tomato ketchup, plain spaghetti sauce, BBQ sauce, salsa, hot sauce, mustard, hummus, salad dressings, mayonnaise, dried herbs, beef or chicken concentrate and table salt. Free on Board costs — which include transportation, loading, and related costs — of pepper in Vietnam have jumped from $4.30/kg in early 2023 to $6.10 to $6.20/kg in recent months— an approximate increase of 43 per cent in just under two years , according to Majestic Spice. But Charlebois said black pepper buyers who purchase once every few years may not notice a higher price than the previous one. 'People tend to actually look at prices much more carefully when they do buy products at a high frequency. Pepper — that's not the case. That's why demand elasticity is quite high,' he said. He expects prices to drop eventually as 'demand will move away for a while' and climate-related issues that affect production supply, tend to be temporary. 'Olive oil is a good example of that. Last couple of years, olive production in Spain, Greece and Portugal was anemic and olive oil prices skyrocketed. But harvest in 2024 was incredibly strong and prices dropped dramatically. That's my expectation for black pepper as well,' Charlebois said. Canadian companies are keeping an eye on the pepper shortage, Charlebois said, but since huge quantities of black pepper aren't required to make most products, manufacturers aren't yet worried as some do keep supplies in stock as well. Cooks and food manufacturers don't have to panic if they're short on black pepper, he added, as recipes for meals and food products can be reformulated using other, less costly ingredients to make up for the missing pepper. 'We've been seeing this with cocoa for a while and we saw that with vanilla for many years— when a spice becomes more expensive or an ingredient becomes more expensive, typically the supply chain adjusts by using less of it or they replace it with something else. And typically consumers don't even notice the difference,' he said. A black pepper shortage may affect the taste of some foods if it's missing from the recipe, since there is no substitute for the spice. However, there are some alternatives that could give dishes a similar heat. Shayma Saadat , a Toronto-based food writer and content creator, makes many trips to the grocery store to stock up on ingredients and although she's heard about the black pepper shortage, she hasn't seen people hoarding the spice. Saadat says a black pepper shortage 'opens up a window' for consumers to expand their pantry and to experiment with other spices in their food, but to not think of these new spices as replacements for black pepper. 'Black pepper is not like salt. We can't eat food without salt, but we can definitely eat food without black pepper,' Saadat said, adding that she hopes cooks can think of other spices as 'new ways of enhancing your food.' While there are several types of pepper spices, each one has a unique taste. White peppercorn is derived from the same plant as black peppercorn but its appearance and taste differs. Saadat enjoys using white pepper in her cuisine , saying the spice has an aromatic, musky scent, but is also milder than black pepper. She also recommends using pink peppercorn, which is not botanically related to black pepper, but has a soft heat and 'floral, perfumed sweetness.' 'Black pepper has a bit of a peppery tingle, so it's the same thing with these,' Saadat said, adding that pink peppercorn is a bit more subtle in heat than black peppercorn. Pink peppercorn can be used to flavour and give a visual appeal to pink salmon, in vinaigrettes and in drinks like cocktails, Saadat said. Consumers can also try to include aleppo pepper in their recipes, which Saadat describes as having a 'slow building heat' with a fruity dimension, perfect for flavouring scrambled eggs in the morning.
