Lenders might respond favorably to this trend, offering construction loans with relatively predictable costs. This stability could encourage more construction activity, with builders facing fewer financial uncertainties, ultimately driving growth in the construction loan market.

According to the latest Producer Price Index report, the price level of inputs to residential construction less energy (i.e., building materials) was in September (not seasonally adjusted) after climbing 0.4% in August. Prices have increased 0.8%, year-to-date, the smallest YTD gain through September since 2019.

Was what ? not seasonally adjusted in September????
