National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), Eye On Housing, analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Producer Price Index (PPI) data · Oct 15, 2026 · 0 views · Construction
New-home construction input prices rose 2.0% in September and 10.3% from a year earlier, per a National Association of Home Builders analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics producer price data. Building materials excluding energy rose 5.5%, the largest annual rise since December 2022. Why it matters for operators: These track new construction, not contractor bids, but rehab costs tend to follow. Bids from last spring may already be low; re-quote before you offer.
