• The state of the housing market will be on full display this week as a series of real estate data points are scheduled for release.

• Investors will also look to get a better sense of how consumers are spending their money with July’s retail sales on the calendar.

The housing market has been taking a hit in recent months as mortgage rates started climbing higher. That trend may continue this week with a slate of housing-centric data on the calendar. First out of the gate is the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index for August. This monthly survey gauges how home builders are feeling about the single-family housing market. If July’s reading is an indication, investors should brace for more bad news out of the sector.

Housing starts and existing home sales for July are also scheduled for release. Combined, it should help paint a picture as to the current state of the real estate market and where it may be heading. Also on the schedule for this week are retail sales for July and initial jobless claims.
