Frequently Asked Questions
What factors could push NAHB HMI Buyer Traffic higher?▾
The primary drivers that tend to lift NAHB HMI Buyer Traffic depend on the current macro regime. NAHB HMI sub-index for traffic of prospective buyers visiting model homes and developments; the most volatile of the three components. Scaled 0-100. Convex tracks these drivers live across the Housing Sentiment category and flags when multiple forces align in the same direction. See the "Key Drivers & Risks" section on this page for the current list, and check the regime dashboard for how the macro backdrop is currently tilted.
What factors could push NAHB HMI Buyer Traffic lower?▾
The same transmission channels that drive NAHB HMI Buyer Traffic higher operate in reverse when conditions flip. The risk drivers listed above map directly to scenarios that, if triggered, would pull this metric in the opposite direction. Convex aggregates these into a scenario-weighted probability distribution rather than a point forecast, so the magnitude depends on which scenarios activate.
Where does consensus see NAHB HMI Buyer Traffic heading?▾
Rather than publish a point target that goes stale the day after release, Convex assembles consensus from the macro regime classification, active scenario probabilities, and historical base rates. Point forecasts from banks and strategists are worth reading for context, but they typically cluster around the consensus and miss the tail events that actually move markets. The scenario-weighted approach here captures that tail risk explicitly.
