Well I can tell you due to our recent sales drop. National sales events are ongoing with record turn out (buying rates down at a loss) Massive incentives.  Certain divisions are realizing we can increase our sales because our margins are still 15% higher compared to pre Covid so reducing sales costs recently (past week) have boosted our sales 
Now whether or not those sales will materialize into closings due to rate hikes etc is another story. But it fills our backlog through Q2-3 while reducing inventory

Let me add to this flavor here because nationally they track new permits granted 
EVERYONE is scrambling to submit AS MANY permits as possible before the March 1st D date (here in NJ) 
I'm not positive what other states adopted the 2021 IRC /IBC 
But we are trying to submit permits within next week upwards of over 1000 submissions for just our division 
I have to look up what other states are going to adopt this newest code 
What a disaster this code will be for new construction and rehabilitating projects 
I can go on and on about the new 21' IRC code 
Going to be investing eletrical supply manufacturers soon haha
