Beazer Homes Wants to Help Shield Buyers from Rising Rates -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 31

1055 ET - Beazer Homes USA is looking to financially engineer a win-win solution. The Atlanta home builder is working with lenders to offer one-way rate locks with an embedded permanent rate buy-down. This will protect prospective buyers from mortgage rates that rise, and give them a benefit if rates happen to decline. Beazer thinks this will help sales of to-be-built homes -- ones that buyers can personalize but take longer to come on the market -- which offers the company upside given they come with higher margins. CEO Allan Merrill on an earnings call notes that short-term mortgage incentives tied to spec builds that can close right away have suppressed demand for homes that won't be available for six months.
