The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF has dipped over 4 percent in the last month. The Paragon Report examines investing opportunities in the Residential Construction Industry and provides equity research on KB Home (NYSE: KBH) and PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM).

The National Association of Home Builders reported earlier this week that their builder sentiment index -- which scale runs from 0 to 100 -- fell to 25 from 28 the previous month. March's reading was the highest rating since June of 2007. The dip came as a surprise to many as analysts had predicted the index would continue its upward momentum.

"What we're seeing is essentially a pause in what had been a fairly rapid build-up in builder confidence that started last September," said David Crowe, chief economist with the homebuilders' group. "This is partly because interest expressed by buyers in the past few months has yet to translate into expected sales activity."
