Explain homebuilders to me

Everyone is talking about the AI bubble...but I'm honestly baffled at homebuilders over the past 5 months. Past two earnings have shown declining margins (rate buybacks as opposed to price drops). QoQ cancelation rates of 20 to 50%.. Increasing inventory, and reduced future orders....YET we're sitting at nearly ATH on pretty much any ticker (DHI, LEN, KBH, TOL, you name it).

Granted I lost my ass going long on puts so I'm slightly jaded...but I still cannot see a bull case for these prices unless WS is easily tricked by their obvious and unsustainable buy down tactics, or somehow sees value in parking their money in these for 5 years down the road at which point they MAY reach peak covid purchase levels.

Feel free to explain to my denseness...
