Experts are saying that now is a great time to buy homebuilder stocks  as a means of diversifying your stock portfolio.  With the recent improvements in the economy, and a boost in the job market, consumers will become more confident to become homeowners. 

Americans are realizing that mortgage rates are low and that there are many deals available in the real estate marketplace.  Warren Buffet thinks that the worst is over with the downturn in the housing market.  In a recent newsletter, Buffet wrote:  ”within a year or so residential housing problems should largely be behind us.” 

Many investors have begun to move into the purchasing of homebuilder stock.  “We now think the homebuilders are beginning to look quite attractive,” says George Putnam of the Turnaround Letter, consistently ranked one of the top investing newsletters by Hulbert Financial Digest.
