Is it time buy the homebuilders?

Steve Sjuggerud is one of many contrarians floating this idea. In fact, he sees 500% gains in the sector over the next four years. He points out that after new home prices fell between 1979-82 and 1989-92, the shares of homebuilders soared. This is true, but this was also during a great bull market in general. I would love to know how an index of homebuilders did against the market during this same time period.
