Regional bank stability has major impact on spring building season: NAHB CEO

Yahoo Finance Video

Eleven of the largest U.S. banks reached a deal to deposit a combined $30 billion in First Republic Bank (FRC).

Jerry Howard, CEO of the National Association of Home Builders, joined Yahoo Finance to explain how the banking industry struggles are impacting home builders.

Regional banks are critical for home builders. According to NAHB, AD&C loans make up 85% of financing for the private builders who construct two-thirds of the homes in the U.S.

Howard told Yahoo Finance, “if the regional banks are unstable, or just being more cautious in their lending, or if they're charging more for their lending, it's going to have an impact on housing at the worst possible time.”

Howard says home builders are “sitting with baited breath” as news around regional banks continue to unfold.
