SALES AND MARKETING (SMC) As a member or potential member of the Lake/Sumter HBA business should be picking up for you. Inventory of existing homes is down, just over 3000 residential homes listed in our market today. I know my clients are starting to explore new construction options more today than in the past few years. But there is more good news: low interest rates. Mortgage rates continue to defy Wall Street predictions. Today’s home buyers can afford 10% “more home” as compared to the start of last year. A buyer last year that could afford a $300,000 house can afford a $330,000 house this year. Why are rates staying low? In general, as global markets weaken, U.S. mortgage rates improve. Greece seems to be leading the uncertainty, working with creditors while its people continue to protest the revolution. When there is global political or economic uncertainty investors seek safe assets to protect their investments and shield losses. Mortgage bonds (long term fixed rate mortgages) are among the safest in the world. A demand for bonds causes the price to rise and mortgage rates to drop. A recent reduction in FHA mortgage insurance costs have lowered the FHA effective rates as well. A FHA mortgage on a $200,000 home today would cost a homebuyer $66 less per month than a year ago with the same interest rate. Besides lower interest rates, our market is fortunate to have U.S.D.A. loans
available. These loans were instituted over 30 years ago to promote homeownership in rural areas. Virtually all homes in Lake and Sumter counties are eligible (you cannot get this product in Orlando or other more populated areas). No down payment is required on a U.S.D.A. loan, low 30 year fixed rates are available, and closing costs can be paid by the seller and/or rolled into the loan in some circumstances. All great news for our markets! Please contact me for more information or if you are interested in joining the HBA Sales and Marketing committee.

Calling all Builders, Developers and Remodelers Are you planning to enter the 2016 Parade of Homes? If not, you should. July is already upon us as we are starting to reach out to potential 2016 Parade participants. All indicators from FHBA and NAHB are that the Florida home building recovery is taking hold. Buyers are moving to Lake County from all over Central Florida. The last of the Baby boomers are about to retire (some are buying homes 2 years in advance) and the Millennials are starting to realize the benefits of home ownership. With rent prices going up, employment on the rise, resale inventory down, interest rates uncertain, the time is right to purchase a new energy efficient home. Will you be in front of all those potential buyers? Let's just say that some of last years entrants are still enjoying the fruits of their 2015 Parade traffic. WHAT A GREAT VALUE! One of the best marketing tools for new home builders, developers and remodelers is still the Parade of Homes and our Guidebook. It really is the best marketing deal for our Members to get in front of 10s of thousands of people in at least five counties. 2016 Parade Entry Forms are published and were distributed in June. If you did not get a copy via email, www.LakeSumterHBA.com
please call staff and they will get you one pronto! Judging Forms: Builders: We are also publishing the Judging forms in advance. If you have any question regarding how your home or homes will be judged, please contact Carolyn Maimone, Executive Officer at the HBA office, or myself. We would be more than happy to explain and help you through the process. RUMOR HAS IT. Yes, we do accept recently occupied homes as Par ade entr ies! Please call or email Carolyn for our 2016 POH Occupied Home Entry policies. Dream Home / Dream Community. Do you want to be the center of attention? On the Cover of 70,000 copies of the 2016 Parade of Homes Guidebook and in all POH Advertising and Marketing? Call Carolyn or myself and ask how you can benefit from entering the Dream Home or Dream Community. It's not too soon to plan for a great 2016. Until next time, keep the faith, keep the American Dream alive, and keep Building Excitement.

Governmental Affairs and Community Service Governmental Affairs The GA committee meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 9 am in the HBA Conference Room. At the June meeting, the GA Committee voted to recommend to the Board of Directors that the HBA send a letter of opposition to the County Commissioners, opposing the Penny Sales Tax ordinance as it is written. The Board had a considerable discussion on the topic and in the end the Board of Directors voted unanimously in favor of the Governmental Affairs recommendation. A letter was sent on June 12th. If you would like to see the Letter that was Sent go to our Website and click on the HBA Penny Sales Tax Letter link on the home page. Remember that the new building code will be used starting July 1 throughout the state. Be prepared!

Lumber & Commodity News A much stronger spruce market pushed the Ro-Mac Lumber & Supply, Inc. Wood Commodity Index (Index) higher in June, as dimensional lumber significantly outpaced sheathing products. The full retreat of lumber since the beginning of the year abated, as pent-up demand from many of the country’s northern regions seemed to take hold. The question bodes for many in the industry, “Is this a trend or just a blip?” The lumber portion of the Index increased 10.4% (or $31.50 per thousand) with most products going higher, except for narrow width pines. Stud prices increased plus $30 per thousand with 2x6-92 5/8 increasing the least. 2x4 dimensional spruce lumber increased 7.7%-23.4%, depending on specific lengths, with similar increases in 2x6 spruce. Wide width 2x12 yellow pine added 4.6%-11.1%, and the price increases narrowed in conjunction with the widths. The sheathing portion of the Index was mixed, as prices increased on average 1.5% (or $4 per thousand). CDX pine plywood was mixed, as 1/2 CDX gave back 1.8% with 5/8 CDX staying flat, and the thicker 3/4 T&G panel added 2.4%. OSB sheathing added $6-$9 per thousand (or about 4%) on average, as increased demand gave those producers hope for better times. The non-carryover of lumber prices to the sheathing market suggests that the price increases may be more of a blip than ushering in a trend. Builders, the commodity markets and the American economy all need one thing—consistent growth. The continuous, nauseating monthly ups-and-downs of economic numbers have most people spooked to take any long-term action. There is little confidence the most recent market activity will sustain itself. Plus, forecasts for hurricane season are projected to be less than average. Without increased housing activity, or bad weather issues, expect the gains in commodity prices to evaporate by summer’s end.
