Home sales up but rising rates portend weakening markets

Abrief

decline in mortgage rates helped to boost new home sales in August but sales are expected to move on a down ward trend in the months ahead as rates have since moved higher and builder sentiment con tinues to fall due to declining housing afford ability and ongoing supply chain bottlenecks.

Sales of newly built, single-family homes in August increased 28.8% to a 685,000 sea sonally adjusted annual rate from an upwardly revised reading in July, according to newly re leased data by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau. New home sales are down 14% on a year-to-date basis despite the August upturn.

“With housing affordability at a more than 10-year low and the Federal Reserve continu ing to aggressively raise interest rates to rein in stubbornly high inflation, policymakers must find ways to reduce construction costs that are delaying home projects and putting upward pressure on home prices,” said Jerry Konter, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home build er and developer from Savannah, Ga.

“The sales gain in August reflects that there is clearly sidelined demand for housing, but it is being constrained by rising interest rates that are pricing many potential consumers out of the market, particularly entry-level buy ers,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “After a brief lull when mortgage rates

fell below 5.3% for much of August, they have since jumped much higher in September and are now approaching 7%. The Fed should take careful note of the weakening of the housing market given the policy lag involved with monetary policy. Housing is a leading in dicator of economic conditions.”

A new home sale occurs when a sales con tract is signed or a deposit is accepted. The home can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction or completed. In addition to adjusting for seasonal effects, the August reading of 685,000 units is the number of homes that would sell if this pace continued for the next 12 months.

New single-family home inventory remained elevated at an 8.1 months’ supply. The count of homes available for sale, 461,000, is up 24.6% over last year. Of this total, only 49,000 of the new home inventory is completed and ready to occupy. The remaining have not started con struction or are currently under construction.

Reflecting gains for construction costs, the median new home price in August was $436,800, up 8.2% from a year ago. This is a diminished growth rate as a growing number of builders cut prices due to slackening demand.

Regionally, on a year-to-date basis, new home sales fell in all four regions, down 15.6% in the Northeast, 24.5% in the Mid west, 10.8% in the South and 16.7% in the West.

2023 NAHB Builders Show registration open

The NAHB officially opened online registration September 1st, 2022 for the 2023 NAHB International Build ers’ Show® (IBS), the largest annual light construction trade show in the world.

IBS will take place in person at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Jan. 31-Feb. 2, where it will again co-locate with the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s (NKBA) Kitchen & Bath Industry Show®

(KBIS) for the 10th Annual Design & Con struction Week® (DCW). The two shows are expected to host more than 1,300 ex hibiting brands spanning over 985,000 net square feet of exhibit space, for the largest annual gathering of the residential design and construction industry in the world. Furthering this year’s offerings, in addi tion to IBS and KBIS, registrants can now attend a third industry show at the same

Overall housing starts increase, builder confidence declines

Highmortgage rates and building pro duction bottlenecks continue to act as a drag on the single-family housing market even as overall housing starts posted a double-digit gain in August due to a surge in multifamily production.

Overall housing starts increased 12.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.58 million units in August from a downwardly revised July reading, according to a report from the U.S. De partment of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau.

The August reading of 1.58 million starts is the number of housing units builders would be gin if development kept this pace for the next 12 months. Within this overall number, single-fam ily starts increased 3.4% to a 935,000 seasonal ly adjusted annual rate. Year to date, single-fam ily starts are down 4%. The multifamily sector, which includes apartment buildings and condos, increased 28% to an annualized 640,000 pace.

“Single-family production is running at a weakened pace due elevated mortgage rates and high construction costs that have led to a major slowing of the housing market and exacerbated housing affordability,” said Jerry Konter, NAHB chairman. “The slowdown in the single-family market has been reflected in our builder surveys, which have posted declines every month in 2022.”

“The housing starts report is more evidence that the housing recession is deepening for the single-family market, with the pace below 1 million for the last two months,” said Jing Fu, NAHB’s director of forecasting and analysis. “Expected additional tightening of monetary

policy from the Federal Reserve, falling builder sentiment and a 15.3% year-over-year decline in single-family permits points to further weak ening for the housing sector. The one bright spot is multifamily construction, which remains very strong given solid demand for rental housing.”

On a regional and year-to-date basis, com bined single-family and multifamily starts are 4.6% higher in the Northeast, 2.4% lower in the Midwest, 5.6% higher in the South and 1.5% lower in the West.

Overall permits decreased 10% to a 1.52 mil lion unit annualized rate in August. Single-fam ily permits decreased 3.5% to an 899,000 unit rate. Multifamily permits decreased 17.9% to an annualized 618,000 pace.

Looking at regional permit data on a year-todate basis, permits are 3.1% lower in the North east, 1.2% higher in the Midwest, 1.2% higher in the South and 1.4% lower in the West.

Builder confidence falls in September

In another sign that the slowdown in the housing market continues, builder sentiment fell for the ninth straight month in September as the combina tion of elevated interest rates, persistent building material supply chain disruptions and high home prices continue to take a toll on affordability.

Builder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes fell three points in September to 46, the lowest level since May 2014 with the exception of the spring of 2020, according to the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI).

“Buyer traffic is weak in many markets as

place and time with just one badge. Regis tration for IBS will also allow you access to the show floor of the National Hardware Show (NHS).

During September, IBS registrants can take advantage of several discounts with all registration options providing access to the exhibits of all 3 shows! A full list of of ferings can be found at BuildersShow.com/ fees

The NAHB International Builders’ Show is not open to the general public. Building industry professionals and their affiliates are invited to register by visiting the show’s website at BuildersShow.com n

more consumers remain on the sidelines due to high mortgage rates and home prices that are putting a new home purchase out of financial reach for many households,” said Konter. “In another indicator of a weakening market, 24% of builders reported reducing home prices, up from 19% last month.”

“Builder sentiment has declined every month in 2022, and the housing recession shows no signs of abating as builders continue to grap ple with elevated construction costs and an ag gressive monetary policy from the Federal Re serve that helped pushed mortgage rates above 6% last week, the highest level since 2008,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “In this soft market, more than half of the builders in our survey reported using incentives to bolster sales, including mortgage rate buydowns, free ameni ties and price reductions.”

Derived from a monthly survey, the NAHB/ Wells Fargo HMI gauges builder perceptions of current single-family home sales and sales ex pectations for the next six months as “good,” “fair” or “poor.” The survey also asks builders to rate traffic of prospective buyers as “high to very high,” “average” or “low to very low.” Scores for each component are then used to calculate a seasonally adjusted index where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view condi tions as good than poor.

All three HMI components posted declines in September. Current sales conditions dropped three points to 54, sales expectations in the next six months declined one point to 46 and traffic of prospective buyers fell one point to 31.

Looking at the three-month moving averages for regional HMI scores, the Northeast fell five points to 51, the Midwest dropped five points to 44, the South fell seven points to 56 and the West posted a 10-point decline to 41. n

ABOUT THE STONEGATE HOMES PARADE HOUSE DESIGN

“There are lots of unique and exciting features in this home, including its grand foyer, double-height living space, and personal dog wash station. However, the primary sitting room is a favorite of mine. Situated at the rear of the plan with wall to wall windows, this room allows for an impeccable view and natural light to flood its interior. I can only imagine having my morning coffee while enjoying this cozy and inviting space. One of the most unique features in the home is the series of groin vaults in the main hall. While groin vaults typically show up in more traditional architecture, they also blend beautifully with a more contemporary aesthetic making them a perfect detail for this home.” - Anna Bowlds

ABOUT THE SCHUMACHER HOMES PARADE HOUSE DESIGN . . .

“An elegant symmetry exists in the exterior finishes and massing of this EnglishManor house, from the window and door combinations to the parapet dormers and the balanced chimneys. Each creating a welcoming facade for the K.S. Home Builders Parade Home. Entering from the front courtyard through the tail iron doors, the entry foyer leads past well detailed dining and library space into vaulted living spaces open to the rear porches through spacious glass. The adjacent kitchen area is highlighted by an open bar and a temp controlled wine room. Everything is finished in a creative combination of natural materials present in the wide plank wood floors, ceiling beams and fireplace stone, and more transitional finishes of the black and white cabinetry, appliances, and miscellaneous fixtures. Two distinct entertaining destinations exist in the home, the main floor media with hip vaulted ceiling and beams, and the upper floor bonus room, with a main sitting area, bar and game alcove. One of the more dramatic features in the house are the use of tall wood/iron doors to compliment the tail ceilings used both interiorly and around the exte rior of the home, resulting in a vast amount of light into the house and creating a feeling of openness. Other features include an open, well detailed main bath/closet layout, complimenting the bedroom suite which features a masonry fireplace, vaulted ceiling, and separate sitting area. This combination of open space, abundant light and quality finish creates a luxurious living environment.”

STUDIO 36 DESIGN - Stephanie Handley

STEPHANIE HANDLEY - Studio 36 Design

As the co-principal designer and owner of Studio 36 Design, Stephanie brings her 14+ years of ex perience into every home project she undertakes. She enjoys working with her clients to help them bring their vision to life, and infuse their homes with a unique sense of style rooted in timeless de tails. Her ultimate goal is to create spaces for her clients that feel like a sanctuary after a long, hard day—because home is the one place we all need to feel most at peace. In collaborating with Legend Homes on the 2022 Parade House early in the design process, Stephanie was able to develop a design concept that fully embraced the flow of the floor plan and the stunning architectural details. It was also immediately clear that Bringing the Outdoors In would be a key element in her design. From the moment you walk in the front door, your eye is instantly drawn to not only a stunning interior lounge, but through the expansive windows into the relaxing outdoor living area as well. Through the use of low-profile furnishings, Stephanie’s goal was to keep all vantage points of the pool completely unobstructed, underscoring that vital indoor/outdoor connection. And while each room has its own flavor and personality, the entire home maintains an extremely cohesive style throughout.

ABOUT THE LEGEND HOMES PARADE HOUSE DESIGN . . .

“This Country Cottage design is a collaboration of the Legend Homes & Jack Herr design teams. The result, a home that promotes indoor/outdoor entertaining and a light, airy living environment. The exterior com bination of stone and vertical siding achieves a soft nature texture which is carried to the interior in the form of both wall and flooring finishes. The cozy foyer leads directly into the lounges, with views to the rear pool/pool patio and to the side’s linear fireplace and the full glass enclosed wine room and adjacent bar. The kitchen, dining and family rooms beyond have open views to the large arched windows to the front of the house and to the stone fireplace, and large open porch to the rear. Tall and vaulted ceilings in these areas move abundant natural light throughout. Opposite the rear courtyard from the open porch, is located the main bedroom suite, highlighted by a corner window feature, offering continuous vista views from the room’s interior. Entry to the main bath focuses on the see-through shower, offering views through to the tub & windows beyond and separating the bath into two separate prep & closet areas. A favorite feature is located on the 2nd floor over the portico/front garage wing – the studio suite. Included in this beautiful suite is a private stair access, a bedroom and living area and a kitchenette, a perfect office or separate living quarters. These features combine to create a comfortable living experience.”

ABOUT THE ASPEN CONSTRUCTION PARADE HOUSE DESIGN . . .

“I’ve always had a passion for home design and am self-taught. Being the builder and plan designer on a project allows me to design beautiful and livable homes while also taking into consideration the best and most efficient building practices. This home features many unique features including stairwell balustrades that reach from floor to ceiling and the distinctive trim work across the walls and ceiling of the study. The effect helps create a “hidden door” that opens to the pantry. I typically collaborate with several different local designers and architects for exterior designs. Champ Webb with CW Design and the Rosebrooke design review committee helped with the exterior design for this project. Our goal with this house design was to create an exterior combining both contemporary and tradi tional features and I think we achieved that to great effect.” - John Zelenak

The study features detailed trim work and a hidden door leading to the pantry.

CHAD GORE - Ford Classic Homes

CHAD GORE - Ford Classic Homes

Chad Gore is Vice President of Architecture and Land Management with Ford Classic Homes. Chad is a lifelong Franklin resident and registered Architect who earned his Bachelor’s degree in Archi tecture from the University of Tennessee, and began his career in design with 6 years at a local ar chitecture firm. There he gained experience in all types of architectural design and construction administration, including custom residences. In 2006, Chad helped Ford Classic Homes create an in-house Architecture department in order to enhance the company’s ability to provide outstanding design services to its clients and deliver homes of unrivaled quality to the market. Since then, Chad has led the Ford team in designing and documenting more than 800 homes in middle Tennessee, in prestigious communities including Laurelbrooke, Westhaven, Windstone, Annandale, Berry Farms, Richland Hall, Witherspoon and now Rosebrooke. It is a common refrain among Ford’s clients that its design team excels at first listening to their clients, and then promptly delivering a home design that exceeds expectations.

Ford’s goal for their entry into the Parade of Homes was to create a home that showcases contemporary architecture but maintains a classical heritage. The resulting design is composed of clean lines, simple forms, and large window and door openings typical of contemporary architecture, while the steeply pitched roof and near-symmetrical arrangement offer a hint of its English-inspired roots. The home’s interior is planned with an abundance of open gathering space for entertaining, and well-appointed amenities for everyday living. The large covered porch that’s connected to main living areas by wide sliding doors is a welcoming extension of the indoor spaces.

ABOUT THE FORD CLASSIC HOMES PARADE HOUSE DESIGN

“I think the natural light in this home is incredible. The double-height foyer is filled with windows and the open-riser staircase allows more of the light from those windows to filter all the way through to the main living spaces. In the great room, another double-height space and large expanses of glass really open everything up to the outside. I’m also excited by the visual connection between the upstairs bonus room and the great room. The interior windows there allow the bonus room to take advantage of the light from the great room’s expanse of glass and views to the outside, not to mention a view of the gorgeous book-matched marble overmantle in the great room.” - Chad Gore
