U.S. home builder confidence fell to 32 in June, according to the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index — the third-lowest reading since 2012, according to Landscape Architect.

Regionally, the South and West saw the steepest declines, falling to 33 and 28, respectively.
