PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hi all you wonderful, dedicated Members! October, November and December are such busy months with lots of great things happening. Your Leaders have again, given their time and dedication to the FHBA with great attendance to the Fall Leadership Conference in Daytona Beach Shores. Always remember we have power in numbers and need to stand up for the rights and wishes of our industry needs. We have a great need to stay informed and always have a voice. Thank you to all who attended. We could not survive without your never ending service. Thank you, everyone who sold tickets for the 31st annual Reverse Draw and October Party and to Carolyn & Kelly, for another successful event. This is a lot of work to pull everything together so smoothly, so when you see them, please say a special thank you! In October, the Members graciously volunteered to help the Educational Foundation of Lake County, build their new food pavilion in Tavares. Thank you to Andrew Nutt, of Holly Homes, George Hansford, of Prominent Construction, Cliff Libby & Luke Martineau with Kevco Builders, Jeanne Abernathy with Grizzard Real Estate and myself. We had the pleasure to work with a group of High School students who were very enthusiastic and great laborers. Getting to know people as you work together as a team was a true blessing. I have to thank Joe Ziler for sending Cliff and Luke as they were just good guys inside and out. The stories that are told on the job-site leave lasting impressions in us all. Speaking of gratitude, I would like to personally thank Clarence Tibbs, with STE Electrical Systems, for his many years of service and loyalty. Clarence joined the Association in 1990, was elected Associate of the Year in 2000 & 2002. He was instrumental as our Emerald Sponsor in the construction of our HBA office we call our home. Clarence has achieved Red Spike with 120 points, has been on the Board of Directors since 1998, became a Life Director in 2007, and has served as Associate Vice President & Secretary Treasurer many times. He has always donated generously and is greatly appreciated. He earned his Angel Wings by helping the Elderly in midst of turmoil from the hurricanes with his Electrical talents. When you see him, please go out of your way to say thank you. It takes special people to step up and help year after year.

SALES AND MARKETING (SMC)
Ten Good Reasons To Sell a Home During The Holidays Once October rolls around, it’s officially the holiday season for me, and I go into complete ‘prepare mode’ for all the events and people I want to connect with! But did you realize that this is a great time to sell homes? More homes are sold during the last and first quarter every year in our market area. Here are ten excellent reasons to sell homes during the holidays: 1. People who look for a home during the holidays are more serious buyers. 2. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays, so you have less competition. 3. Houses “show” better when decorated for the holidays. Throw a festive wreath on the front door of your new construction! 4. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays. 5. Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays.
6. Many people want to buy before the end of the year for tax reasons. 7. January is traditionally the month for transfers. Transferees can’t wait until spring to buy. You must be on the market to capture that market. 8. You don’t need to be open on Christmas day, but have brochures and your contact information in an information box at your home for prospects to pick up. 9. You can always take a contract now with an extended closing date – maybe your home under construction is worth the wait for a buyer who may have a home to sell. 10. Selling now may fetch you a higher price than in the spring when there is more competition. The bottom line is to market your homes now, even though you may have fewer inquiries, the buyers are more qualified and more motivated. You will stand out from the competition, because there will be less competition, resulting in better selling prices! Keep your marketing efforts consistent this last quarter, and finish the year strong in sales!

Building excitement! That is what we continue to do as plans continue to fall in place for the 2015 Parade of Homes. As Parade co-chair and chairman of the Builder/Realtor committee, I, along with the other members of our committee, constantly strive to come up with ways to build and strengthen the Builder/Realtor alliance. For the 2015 Parade we will once again provide three coach buses to take REALTORS through the tour of Parade entries. Just like last year we will divide the region into South Lake, Central Lake, and North Lake/Sumter. We make it fun, with breakfast and lunch, goody bags, and drinks and snacks provided. As a Builder with an entry, how exciting is it to know that approximately 50 realtors will be parading through your model? Existing inventory is at a record low so realtors need to know your product now more than ever! This is your chance to make valuable contacts with the top producing realtors in your region. They will be judging the entries as well, and Realtor Choice Awards will be given at the Parade of Homes Awards Banquet. We are currently looking for sponsors and will be reaching out to builders and associate members alike. This is your chance to spend all day on a bus with the realtors of Lake and Sumter counties to network and tell them about your products and services. We will continue to keep you updated as the event comes together. And please feel free to reach out to me personally if you would like to participate in sponsoring or otherwise help with the event.

Loretta Maimone Broker Associate with Real Living Good Neighbor Realty said about sponsoring and attending the Parade of Homes Banquet: "Well worth my time, and well worth my money." When she was asked about her experience with the REALTOR Days tours she said: “I have nothing but praise for the REALTOR bus tours. I was really glad that I went!� Can we quote you on that?

The View from Tallahassee & DC Perspectives from FHBA CEO Paul Thompson As my remaining time as FHBA’s CEO/EVP can now almost begin to be measured in days instead of months, a lot of people are asking if I’m having any mixed emotions about leaving the place where I’ve worked for more than 35 years. That answer would be no. Last week, I gladly yielded the big corner office with the spectacular view of Park Avenue in downtown Tallahassee to my highly capable successor Rusty Payton and will spend between now and the end of the year giving him “history lessons” that he may or may not find useful. I laughed when my motherin-law asked if I was “training” him. Even if you didn’t already know that Rusty was the Florida Society of Association Executives (FSAE) Executive of the Year in 2014 for his stellar work at the Florida Dental Association, you wouldn’t have to be around him for long to see that he’s hit the ground running and won’t stop until FHBA is a better, stronger association than it is today. I think back to the SEBC this summer in Orlando when Lt. Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera, Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, and Attorney General Pam Bondi – three of the most powerful political figures in our state – all made guest appearances and presentations. When each one saw Rusty (who was a candidate for the FHBA CEO job at the time), it was like old home week with smiles, warm wishes, and mutual respect all around. It confirms that in Rusty, FHBA has hit the mark with the ideal person to be the “face” of the association. I believe FHBA got the best… and I wish Rusty the best. Paul Thompson, CAE, MIRM, is CEO/Executive Vice President of the Florida Home Builders Association and will retire from FHBA on December 31, 2014 .

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and its more than 600 state and local builders associations around the country are working to forge a stronger partnership with local building officials, especially those who cast votes on proposed code changes coming before theInternational Code Council (ICC). It involves a two-step process. First, local governments are being urged to join the ICC as Governmental Members, which requires a nominal annual fee, so they will be eligible for a certain number of votes based on their population (for example, jurisdictions with a populations of greater than 150,000 have 12 votes). Second, those local governments are then encouraged to have their representatives vote either in person or through a web-based voting process known as cdpACCESS. Both steps create an opportunity for more effective dialogue with building officials, who can be strong allies in assuring that affordability is considered when it comes to proposed changes to the code. HBA members who wish to know more about how NAHB is fighting to keep codes affordable can go to www.nahb.org/CodeDevelopment.

Lumber & Commodity News The Home Builders Association Wood Commodity Index (Index) for October increased 0.4 percent to $338.80 with sheathings going up and lumber going down. One gives and the other takes away. This minimal price movement is probably an accurate reflection of the mood in both housing, and the economy — just not much excitement. The mood of the country seems to be infected with an economic virus of uncertainty, which just cannot be shaken. The dimensional portion of the Index dropped at the wholesale price level 2.7% to $401.89 as decliners led advancers by a 5-1 ratio. Wide width pine took the heavy hit with declines in pricing of 11% plus. 2x6 spruce advanced in certain sizes with $10 plus increases in 2x4 spruce popular sizes. Overall the mood is down, and with winter only weeks away, prospects for a price run look dim as the country exits hurricane and storm season unscathed.
Activity and pricing picked up slightly in the sheathing portion of the Index, with CDX Pine Plywood Pricing remaining very strong, while OSB sheathing floundered at much lower levels. The mills for plywood have done a good job managing supply to demand, but in the case of OSB mills, there is simply too much supply. The spread between 15/32” OSB and CDX sheathing is $308 per thousand or $9.86 per sheet. At that difference you would expect builders to move away from plywood for residential roofing. Mills and manufacturers appear to be growing anxious over sales in the last quarter, and builders are beginning to see some cracks in pricing. Whether this continues depends entirely upon how well the supply and demand quotient is managed. There appears to be little in the way of housing demand to push pricing in a sustained, upward trend over the next 30 days.
