Mortgage rates have slowly fallen for the second week in a row, with the 30-year fixed mortgage rate just above 7%. With the potential for mortgage rates to come down further, the housing market may see a bit of a turnaround for homebuyers. However, the supply of homes is still low.

Saint-Gobain North America CEO Mark Rayfield (SGO.PA) joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss the state of homebuilding and the broader housing market.

On the fundamentals of homebuilding in North America, especially after COVID-19, Rayfield states: "It's still a very robust market. So for the vast majority of building materials, if you look at exterior products and roofing and siding and gypsum and insulation, the market is there, thereabouts at capacity. Not sold out like it was in COVID. But depending on where you are regionally, there could be some supply challenges, not long. So that is another reason I say the market remains quite robust at these housing levels."
