1107 ET - Century Communities sees mortgage rates remaining elevated for the foreseeable future, creating a challenge for its buyers. "If we do stay in a higher-for-longer [rate] environment, I think the builders can still move product, but... incentives will have to be a part of the equation," says Executive VP Jim Francescon. Affordability remains among the biggest hurdles for Century Communities' clientele, which is made up primarily of first-time homebuyers. For Century Communities, the average selling price is around $390,000, Francescon said. The company expects to report up to 11,300 homes delivered and revenue up to $4.4 billion in FY24.
