Cate Faddis: ‘now is a good time to invest in real estate stocks’

Catherine Faddis explains why now is a good time to invest in real estate stocks.
She picks Toll Brothers Inc as her favourite on CNBC's "Worldwide Exchange".
Shares of the Pennsylvania-based builder are down nearly 30% for the year.

The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF down more than 25% for the year is an opportunity for investors to play the valuation story, says the President of Grace Capital.

Faddis remains constructive on homebuilders

Real estate stocks might have been weak in 2022, but Catherine Faddis is convinced the underlying market is not. Defending her bull case on CNBC’s “Worldwide Exchange”, she said:

The U.S. has underbuilt houses over the past decade, now short of more than 5 million – an estimate that adds to Faddis’ confidence in the “homebuilders”.

Faddis’ favourite stock in the real estate space

One of her top picks in this space is the Pennsylvania-headquartered Toll Brothers Inc (NYSE: TOL) that’s lost 30% since the start of 2022. Explaining why on the CNBC interview, she said:

Last week, Toll Brothers reported market-beating results for its fiscal second quarter and reiterated that any fundamental drivers of housing demand were still firmly in place.
