New Home Construction:

t’s no secret that the fallout from COVID continues to slow down new home construction and there’s no sign this trend is letting up.

Prices are high and timelines are long. But there’s still no better way to get the home you really want.

The five basic costs for new homes are labor, lumber (and materials), lots, lending, and laws, most of which are more challenging because of the pandemic.

Homebuyer preferences made a big shift in 2020 in response to COVID. Despite higher prices and uncertain timelines, new construction remains the surest bet to turn those preferences into reality. And while buyers may feel helpless in the face of so many barriers, there are ways to minimize those obstacles.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

The Post-COVID House The typical post-COVID homebuyer wants more space, more features, and more choices.

Demand for more space, inside and outside, remains high. The average square footage for new single-family homes has increased by more than six percent, to 2,541 square feet.

Feel-good luxuries now classified as “mental health features” are gaining in popularity—a spa-like bathroom with a free-standing tub, access to private space for a home office or meditation, lots of natural light. (Hint: use south-facing walls for the most natural light.)

A separate living suite is also moving up on buyers’ want lists. Mike Sadler, President of Charlottesville Area Builders, says, “The biggest trend we are seeing with our customers is the in-law suite.

This is huge. Whether this suite is used for the in-laws, as a semi-separate living space for a teen, or for a short-term rental a la Airbnb, this trend is only getting

bigger. The other two movements in the market are for more space in the home and a home gym.”

Many of the functions that used to be filled by the neighborhood park, the office, school, or local gym, have come home. Bigger yards and houses, home offices, private and flexible spaces are standard for this generation of homes.

Lumber Prices Through the Roof Meanwhile, lumber prices are skyhigh. In May 2021, they hit a record high of $1,500 per thousand board feet. After a pullback last summer, they are now nearly $1,200 per thousand board feet.

In addition to the high demand from the housing industry, wildfires in the western U.S. and Canada, doubling of tariffs on Canadian lumber imports, and ongoing supply chain disruptions are behind the most recent price surge.

These price fluctuations directly impact new homes prices. According to the National Association of Home Builders, a typical 2,000 square-foot home uses about 16,000 board feet of lumber and 6,000 square feet of structural panels like plywood.

Eric Robertson is the Project Manager for custom home builders Smith & Robertson, Inc., based in Charlottesville.

He is also the President of Blue Ridge Home Builders Association (BRHBA) and understands how volatility in lumber and materials is impacting builders and buyers. “When compared to this time last year, lumber costs have added $18,000 to the average price of a new home.” And

that’s not as bad as it could be. “If you looked at this comparison in May 2021, when lumber prices were at their peak, lumber alone was adding over $30,000 to prices.

“Lumber has been a hot topic when it comes to affordability of houses, and while we may not see the extreme prices of last May, it is unrealistic to think lumber costs will return to pre-pandemic numbers. Industry experts and economists agree that there will be a ‘new normal’ for lumber prices; somewhere between the May 2021 peak and the pre-pandemic low.”

Short Supply Lumber isn’t the only thing in short supply and subject to higher prices. Everything—from doors and windows to appliances and roof shingles—is harder to get and more expensive by the time it arrives at the building site.

These supply chain issues are then exacerbated by ongoing labor shortages.

Carpenters, tradesmen, and specialized installers are also in short supply. For instance, leaders in the flooring industry expect a shortage of 6,000 installers every year for the next decade.

And that is not only driving up labor costs but also slowing down the entire home-building process. What used to take six to eight months now takes eight to ten months. Or more.

Sometimes that “or more” is enough to keep homebuyers out of the new construction market, because of the uncertainty involved and the patience required.

Rendering of Habitat duplexes that will be built in Village One of redeveloped Southwood.

Solutions and Substitutions Buyers and builders are working hard to find solutions. Most of those solutions require flexibility, on everyone’s part.

When supply is tight, the willingness to trade out products or substitute materials is critical to keeping a building project on schedule. Alternative materials that are quicker and just as good as the originals are the easiest way to gain traction on pricing and timelines.

This drives many buyers and builders to rethink hardwood floors. Remember that shortage of 6,000 floor installers?

Floor alternatives that don’t require the same installation skill and time are hugely popular. Luxury vinyl planks and rigid core products have surged in popularity. They rival hardwood in terms of aesthetics and durability. They are more affordable, and installation is faster and easier, without the same skills, tools, and acclimation time hardwood requires.

If custom products can be traded for standard ones, the build is likely to be accelerated. Instead of having every feature in a home customized, buyers who focus on the key areas most important to them, such as cabinets and countertops, may be able to get into their homes quicker. That standardization can also help builders be more efficient and keep housing prices down.

Occasionally, it takes a last-ditch effort to get buyers into a home on time.

If waiting on an appliance is the final barrier, installing a temporary “loaner” appliance can help meet timelines.

seller’s market. Ryan Price, Deputy Chief Economist for Virginia REALTORS® predicts that supply will improve but not by a lot. “A key to the low inventory continues to be that new home construction is facing challenges on multiple fronts. Based on these constraints, we are forecasting new home starts…will not have a significant impact on the overall housing supply in the state.”

Paul McArtor agrees. “Builders can’t build fast enough. There will be fewer spec homes coming on the market this year than in previous years. Buyers have already scooped most of them up because of the low inventory of existing homes on the market.”

Most area builders do have a handful of “move-in ready homes,” but not nearly as many as in previous years. Robertson explains, “The ‘move-in ready homes’ are largely outnumbered by homes sold to homebuyers prior to construction being completed. So, these new homes never hit the market, once again due to the huge housing demand and limited supply of new and resale inventory.”

One of the highly anticipated and well-publicized redevelopment areas close to Charlottesville is Southwood, located within two miles of 5th Street Station along Old Lynchburg Road. The project is a mix of affordable and market-rate homes.

Southern Development is one of several local builders involved in constructing market-rate homes. Another prominent builder, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville, is building affordable homes there.

Sara Hoagland, Southern Development Sales Consultant, reports that since the grand opening of the Southwood redevelopment in October 2021, all eight of the townhomes in Phase 1 have been spoken for, and five of the 23 singlefamily homes. “Interest in Southwood is strong, even before we begin to move dirt. We expect construction to begin this spring. North Pointe, Belvedere, and Old Trail are also extremely popular areas where buyers can still get a brand-new home if they are ready to commit while building sites and move-in ready homes are available.”

So don’t count on the inventory of new homes to rebalance the market in Central Virginia. “Builders and developers are doing their best, but no, we are not able to keep up with today’s demand for housing,” says Robertson.

“This is as true nationwide as it is here locally. Local builders have reported that new home sales have remained strong, but the closed sales (when the buyers move in) are lagging when compared to the last few years. And that can be attributed to supply-chain disruptions and labor shortages.

“Additionally, a large factor for builders locally has been significant delays in permit issuance and other approvals from local authorities having jurisdiction. These delays are due to several things— internal process inefficiencies, staff shortages, incomplete permit applications, etc. BRHBA has been proactively working with these jurisdictions to identify problems and reduce bottlenecks.”

And their efforts are paying off with improvements in turnaround time.

The Future in 3D You may have seen the headlines about a Williamsburg family moving into the first owner-occupied 3D-printed home.

The exterior of the 1,200 square-foot three-bedroom, two-bath concrete home was constructed in just 28 hours using an Alquist 3D printer.

Is 3D printing the answer to both affordability and rebalancing the market?

Probably not just yet.

It may take some time for the market to warm up to 3D-printed houses. And jurisdictions as well as building codes don’t yet address 3D-printed houses. As far as affordability, it may not make that large an impact on the price of materials, but the savings in labor costs could be significant, particularly in areas suffering from an acute labor shortage.

The Williamsburg 3D-printed home is Earthcraft certified, which means reduced utility bills and negative environmental impacts. Concrete retains indoor temperature better than other materials so that heating and cooling costs will be below average. Add in its performance in natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and fires, and you have a winning combination in today’s environment.

Alquist 3D has partnered with Virginia Tech’s Center for Housing Research to explore how 3D-printed houses can expand affordable housing options in the Richmond region. So we’ll have a front-row seat to see how this plays out.

But for the foreseeable future, traditional builders can best meet buyers’ needs.

Have a Plan Area builders want you to find your right home. And they recognize it’s a tough time to buy a house. As inflation and interest rates creep up, home prices will continue to climb through 2022. That means their job gets harder, as risks rise with prices, selling is more difficult, and staying within budget becomes nearly impossible.

For buyers in the new construction market, the best strategy is to have your team in place—your REALTOR®, builder, and mortgage loan officer. Working with each, figure out what features are most important and those on which you are willing to compromise. How important is that corner lot, or those custom built-ins?

Will luxury vinyl plank flooring serve you better than hardwood floors?

How flexible are you on your timeline?

And if you must be out of your current home by a certain date, is there a plan B if your new home isn’t quite ready?

Robertson is optimistic that 2022 will see some corrections in the supply chain disruptions. “Without these disruptions, homebuilders—especially large production builders have the potential to decrease construction times. Eventually, this might tip the scales on our current supply-demand imbalance and apply the brakes to climbing construction costs.”

And that will get you in your new home without quite so long a wait.
