I hate to second guess those on the ground, living with it every day. But the institutions and entities (in New Orleans) have not been able to get much going on the residential side.

Nationally, it is clear that some housing markets have moderated from the over-heated and, in some cases, speculative pace of growth of the past few years. In our view, this tempering of demand to more sustainable long-term levels is a healthy trend for our company and the industry. There are signs of cooling in the hottest markets on both coasts and a shift in investor activity from buying to selling, resulting in less demand and increased supply in certain markets. Once these factors work their way through current housing supplies, however, we expect the market to move to a new equilibrium which will provide a platform for continuing and sustainable growth by KB Home. With this outlook and our healthy first-quarter performance, we feel confident in maintaining our earnings estimate of 11.25 per diluted share for 2006.

We are changing the way homes are bought and sold in America and we firmly believe this momentum will continue into South Fulton County.
