Homebuilders

Large homebuilders, including Pulte Homes and Hovnanian Enterprises, will recieve hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars under the recently passed Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009.

The housing crisis may be coming to an end, according to some nationwide indexes. And though prices are likely to continue to fall for about a year, some homebuilders are un-pausing their projects and moving forward.

Fewer teardowns and new home starts back up the perception that the age of the McMansion is coming to an end.

Homebuilders have been removed from the language of a transportation funding bill that would have required developers to pay for new roads.
