Shares of homebuilders NVR and Champion Homes jumped in afternoon trading after both chambers of Congress passed the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the most significant federal housing-supply legislation since 1990. The bill aims to boost supply by cutting red tape, streamlining environmental reviews, modernizing manufactured-housing rules, and barring institutional owners of 350-plus single-family homes from buying more existing homes. NVR surged 6.4% and Champion Homes rose 4.4%, while peer KB Home reported a revenue beat with second-quarter revenue of $1.11 billion, exceeding the $1.10 billion consensus, as the 10-year Treasury yield dropped below 4.5%. The legislation is seen as a multi-year volume driver for builders, lowering construction costs and friction, and the 350-home cap is expected to shift demand toward new construction over investor-owned existing homes.
