Home builders constructing a home.
Builder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes rose four points to 35 in January, according to the National Association of Homebuilders.
  • Homebuilder stocks surged on Tuesday after a slew of earnings showed improving demand from home buyers.
  • The demand from home buyers comes despite the average mortgage rate hovering above 6%.
  • "We saw buyer demand improve as the fourth quarter progressed and can confirm the strength continued through the month of January," PulteGroup said.

A string of earnings beats sent homebuilder stocks surging on Tuesday as the results show that there is still demand from consumers to buy a home.
