    CONFIDENCE among US homebuilders held in July at the highest level since November 2005, indicating the residential real estate market may be picking up speed.

    A reading of 60 in the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo sentiment gauge followed a June figure that was revised higher, the Washington-based group reported on Thursday. A measure above 50 means more respondents said conditions were good.
