A Wisconsin-based residential developer with three or so housing cycles under his belt says he’s picking up a vibe he recognizes may be almost impalpable, come-and-go pre-signals of a shift.
He can’t tell for sure whether it is or it isn’t one. That’s the nature of shifts, particularly shifts in housing cycles. So much on the surface of things looks like it’s getting even more constructive, and the fundamentals–jobs, wage trends, household formations, corporate profitability–look rock solid and humming along. Still, there’s an uneasy sense that somewhere, somehow, a line’s been crossed, from firm ground to uncharted, risky territory.
