[PennyP1cker]

Stock is going up, up with strong movements even on down market days. The company could be in the right place at the right time much like MSPC. Expert said on the radio a couple of days ago that Emerging Market International Real Estate is the best investment for 2018 and 2019 which could help MSPC since they have at least one development in South America.

[PennyP1cker]

Recent indicators from NAHB are very positive. Sentiment is high at 72. Sales expectations for the next 6 mos. rose to 80, up 2 from a month prior. Buyer traffic remained steady at 54. Current sales conditions rated 78. All signs indicate WLH should have a great 2018. It's a strong seller's market.

[PennyP1cker]

Institutional buying on WLH and other builder stocks today as the overall indices fell sharply. I see this as a low term treand, ie, fund rotation into builder stocks. MSPC hit a 52-week high today on very heavy volume. I'm glad I bought shares and I hope WLH can hit a 52-week high soon. The new lots in Beaumont, Riverside County should help future revenue.

[PennyP1cker]

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--William Lyon Homes (the “Company” or “William Lyon Homes”) (NYSE: WLH), a leading homebuilder in the Western U.S., today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire RSI Communities (“RSI”), a Southern California and Texas based homebuilder, and three additional related real estate assets for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $460 million. The transaction marks the Company’s entry into Texas and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

RSI Communities has operated in the Inland Empire of Southern California and the Austin and San Antonio, Texas markets since being founded by Newport Beach based entrepreneur and building products veteran, Ron Simon, and 30-year homebuilding veteran, Todd Palmaer. As of December 31, 2017, RSI owned or controlled 11,128 lots, including 6,895 in Austin, Texas, 1,060 in San Antonio, Texas and 3,173 in the Inland Empire, California. RSI primarily targets the entry level and first time buyer segments.

Comments:
$42,000 per lot purchase price, approx. I like the Inland Empire exposure but I'm not as excited about the high price for the Austin and San Antonio lots. Overall, I'd say it's good news...the new normal of high lot prices.

[PennyP1cker]

New upgrade:

Wedbush - neutral to outperform!

WLH has lots of great developments in hot markets. Looking into my crystal ball, I think 2018 is going to be a great year for WLH much like many of their competitors.

Interest rate worries dampen homebuilder UCP's market debut
Print
10:25 AM 7/18/2013 - Reuters

July 18 (Reuters) - Shares of Homebuilder UCP Inc got a cold reception in their market debut as investors worried about the impact of rising mortgage rates on the rebounding housing market.

The company's shares, which were priced at the lower end of the expected range of $15-$17, fell 3 percent to $14.55 in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

Mortgage rates have been rising since May and touched their highest in two years in the first week of July, hurting housing demand.

The Commerce Department said on Wednesday housing starts in June dropped 9.9 percent to its lowest level since August last year.

Some of the homebuilder stocks that got listed recently have also pared their initial gains.

Tri Pointe Homes Inc and William Lyon Homes, which debuted in January and May respectively, are now trading below their offer prices. Taylor Morrison Home Corp's gains since its April debut have been contained to 14 percent.

The Dow Jones U.S. Select Home Construction Index has lost about 15 percent since May after rising about 78 percent in 2012.

The lackluster performance of housing stocks may affect other similar offerings in the pipeline.

WCI Communities Inc, which builds homes in coastal Florida, is poised to raise as much as $222.4 million in an IPO next week. Another builder, New Home Company Inc, filed last month to raise up to $172.5 million from its offering.

UCP, acquired by diversified holding company PICO Holdings Inc in 2008, operates in Northern California and Washington.

The company reported revenue of $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31. UCP has a portfolio of 48 communities in 17 cities in Northern California and the Puget Sound area of Washington State.

The builder, which plans to use the proceeds for investment, listed Citigroup, Deutsche Bank and Zelman Partners LLC as lead underwriters.

Maybe see action today, Investor's Alley sent out daily e-mail, but at least the IPO getting good notice

These 3 IPOs could spark a new rally
By Tim Melvin
Monday, May 13, 2013

Click here for this great offer for Investors Alley subscriber On the upcoming IPO calendar in May 2013 are three companies representing how a sector's recovery can create new profit winners.

Typically investors don't trust any company in a distressed sector, even if that company's fundamentals are strong. This makes it extremely difficult for companies in that sector to raise capital, recover, and grow.

For several years now this has been the case with industries and companies tied to the residential real estate market.

Housing prices have been in a virtual free fall since late 2007. Very few analysts feel comfortable declaring a market bottom.

This has made it almost impossible - until recently - for homebuilders to raise additional capital through IPOs.

The weak market also disrupted banks and financial institutions that fund homebuilding and buying.

But things are finally changing.

Large institutional investors are becoming more comfortable with the housing market and we see that the IPO calendar has two banks and a homebuilder coming to the marketplace in the next week.

This could be very good news for IPO investors as the first deals in the space tend to be among the best performing as a sector recovers and comes back into favor on Wall Street. Those who are coming to the market first could be market leaders as the rally gains momentum.

More good news for investors is that the recovery in the housing and banking markets is just starting to take hold. As faith continues to build in these industries, we will see more IPOs of related companies.

IPO Calendar 2013: NBCB, TSC, WLH

On Friday we will see two banks make their trading debuts.

First NBC Bank (Nasdaq: NBCB) is a New Orleans-based bank with 31 branches and $2.7 billion in assets. The bank serves the New Orleans and Mississippi Gulf Coast markets. Management believes there is a strong market for financial institutions based in their marketplace with local decision making ability to serve the small to mid-size business and high net worth individual marketplace.

Since its founding in 2006, the bank has done five acquisitions of smaller local banks including one FDIC assisted transaction on very favorable terms. First NBC Bank is now the largest bank holding company in the New Orleans market.

The bank is offering 4.2 million shares between $22 and $26 per share. The offering is being managed by Sandler O'Neil and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods.

Friday will also see the IPO of Tristate Capital Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: TSC), a bank holding company based in Pittsburgh, PA. The bank has $2.1 billion of assets all obtained though organic growth. The bank was also formed to serve the middle market business and high net worth individuals.

Management believes that they can achieve significant growth and operating performance by adapting their products and services to fit this niche market - more growth than could be achieved in a traditional bank branch network. They use a branchless model where all operating activities such as underwriting, credit administration and deposit operations are handled at the headquarters office and representative offices are used for marketing and sales purposes. They also provide loan products to high net worth individual using a network of broker dealers, wealth managers, family offices and trust companies.

The bank is also looking to acquire or invest in a wealth management company to better serve that segment of the market.

Stephens and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods are managing the offering and will sell 5.7 million shares between $10.50 and $12.50 per share.

On Thursday, May 16 we will see a California-based homebuilder make its debut offering.

William Lyon Homes (NYSE: WLH) is one of the largest homebuilders in the Western United Sates and has operation in California, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada. In the markets where it operates, the company is one of the leading builders in terms of market share.

It is well positioned to benefit from a sustained housing recovery with a substantial inventory of more than 13,000 building lots. The company is gaining momentum as the housing recovery takes hold with five consecutive quarterly increases in new orders, closing and backlog of homes. The company also reported that increased demand has caused a substantial increase in the average selling price of its homes under contract.

As the housing recovery gains strength, William Lyon should see strong revenue and profit growth. The co-managers of the offering are Credit Suisse, JPMorgan and Citigroup. The company will offer 8.7 million shares between $22 and $24 per share.

though it isn't about LWHS, some of the material (income) looks quite familiar, and shows the potential of LWHS, thought a good read:

[johnsyn]

doesn't pertain to us. Has to do with bonds and other debt stuff with the underwriters, firms can buy some of the notes. All part of trying to manipulate thru the taxation that goes in hand with an IPO.
