Slide 18:Residential Construction Single Family
Slide 19:Strength in Starts More Than Low Rates…
The Cyclical Upside: 2001 - 2005 Low mortgage rates key factor in single family starts over past few years. Emergence of exotic mortgages also a key factor…particularly in strong home appreciation environment. Easy credit conditions contributed to strong home-buying environment. Speculators add froth to market in light of strong appreciation rates. The Cyclical Downside: 2006 - 2009 Mortgage rates rising. Exotic mortgages losing favor. Defaults and delinquencies cause a deterioration in credit quality and a tightening of credit conditions Speculators reduced/disappear in lower appreciation rate environment

What is the desired level of inventory? Historical: 5 months….Overhang = 135K Past cyclical low: 3.5 months….Overhang = 283K PCA 4 months assumption…Overhang = 233K When is excess burned off? 5 months desired supply = February 2007 4 months desired supply = July 2007 (PCA) 3.5 months desired supply = November 2007 Slow gradual gains achieved after burn off.
Slide 24:SF Inventory Adjustment Outlook
(000) Units Note: 70K Overhang burned off since mid-2006
Slide 25:Nonresidential ConstructionOverview
Slide 26:Nonresidential Outlook
Billion Dollars, Real 1996 $ Projected Underlying nonresidential drivers improving. Despite large percentage gains for 2006, most markets weak from historical perspective. Past cyclical peak not realized. Slower growth outlook depresses expected ROI and tempers recovery. High material costs reduce growth. Increasing cement intensities reinforce construction activity gains. Institutional nonresidential gaining momentum; less sensitive to slower growth environment
