Industry Professionals Share Their Insights at Kansas Area Council There was a full house for the Kansas Area Council on Aug. 22 at Hallbrook Country Club, sponsored by Kansas Builders Insurance Group (KBIG). Attendees heard from a panel of building industry experts consisting of Patrick Willis of Willis Custom Homes, Inc., Rosemary Vitale of ReeceNichols and Dan Whitney of Landmarketing, Inc. Willis feels “cautiously optimistic” about the future of homebuilding. The increase in lumber costs, about 32 percent, and the current skilled labor shortage were both topics of concern. Willis acknowledged that “labor is a big challenge all across the country.” According to Willis, one of the problems with the labor force is the rising median age of skilled workers and the inability to attract younger people into the trades. Despite this, Willis believes there is a great need for more housing in the Kansas City area and has “seen great traffic in the Parade the last few years” followed by more serious inquiries. Vitale expects to see more of a “balanced market” moving forward but she noted that right now consumers have sticker shock. “There are 1,573 homes on the market of which 500 are in Johnson County. Of those 500, the average price is currently $500,246 whereas last year it was $470,465,” she said. Vitale noted that the current new home price in Johnson County ranges between $450,000 and $560,000. Homes below this median, houses listed around $350,000, have been selling quicker in recent years. Whitney believes the home building industry is “cautiously steady.” Overall growth has been slow and steady and he does not believe we are in a “pre-recession” state. In fact, he believes builders have been cautious about not letting product build up and sit on the market. “There were about 5,000 speculative homes on the market in 2007, but today there’s Continued on page 4

According to Whitney, builders are paying higher premiums to find new lots to build on. Homes can also be slow moving at certain price points, but there is not an oversupply of homes. When it comes to the future, Whitney believes population growth and economic recovery are two of the biggest factors that will shape the housing industry.

After discussing the building side of the industry, the conversation turned to what consumers look for in a new home. Design trends, whether interior decoration or the layout of the house itself, are always a popular subject and Vitale noted, “people still want open floorplans.” She also commented on the market’s new emphasis on pet-friendly spaces. As far as functional style goes, people are gravitating toward laundry rooms connected to the master bedroom, quartz countertops and large sliding glass doors. Vitale has seen lighter colors become popular, as well as an emphasis on unique light fixtures. As she puts it, “lighting is the jewelry of the house.”

Willis agreed with Vitale on the popularity of open floorplans, specifically noting many consumers have a desire to have one big dining area versus a closed off formal dining room. Outdoor living spaces continue to be important to homebuyers as well.
WE’VE ALSO BUILT SOMETHING FROM THE GROUND UP. OUR BUSINESS.
Prairie Village Call to Action The City of Prairie Village is in the process of adopting new Neighborhood Design Standards that would affect incoming and current Prairie Village residents. Changes include added requirements for green space, street trees, and the size of buildings and garages. These standards could cause unintended consequences potentially preventing residents from investing in their own properties. Prairie Village residents and builders are encouraged to contact city council representatives to speak with them about these issues, as well as attend the public hearing on September 11 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 7700 Mission Road, Prairie Village, KS 66208.

CAPS Classes Are Interactive, Informative The HBA office hosted Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) classes earlier this month, taught by Shawn McGuire. In the training, attendees learned how to identify opportunities and develop the skills to interact with customers that are 50+ years old in order to grow their businesses. They also discovered the guidelines and requirements of accessibility – while putting themselves in the shoes of their customers. In addition, the group discussed the significance of a good design when making modifications. Congratulations to all the CAPS students for obtaining this designation!

Kansas City, Missouri Launches Compass KC, the online permitting system for Kansas City, Missouri, went live on August 6. Compass KC now automatically verifies contractor licenses/supervisor certificates and/or expired insurance certificates at each inspection request or permit application. If the applicant’s certificate or license is inactive, the system will block the inspection or permit request. Parties can work with KCMO’s Contractor Licensing Branch to update as needed.

There are three places with warnings, but city staff are seeing plans in the wrong place – the review process will not begin until the plans are in the correct location. HBA staff is currently working with city administration to coordinate training sessions in the coming weeks. A notice will be sent out when times and dates are established.
A common issue with this system has been with the e-review button. To solve this issue, do not use the ‘Attachments’ icon for plans submitted for review. Instead, plans are attached under the

Homes by Chris’ entry at Copperleaf
Fall Parade to Welcome Consumers into New Homes For more than 70 years, the Parade of Homes has provided a unique opportunity for people to find a new home. Where else can potential homebuyers explore and compare more than 300 brand new homes at their leisure without appointments? The Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City is showcasing 330 residences constructed by 105 of its member builders on the 2018 Fall Parade of Homes, Sept. 22-Oct. 7. The KCHBA is thrilled to have so many beautiful homes on display — and to represent an industry that contributes more than $1.5 billion to the Kansas City economy and that supports more than 20,000 jobs in the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area. During the Parade, local residents can visit new homes and neighborhoods across a spectrum of price, style and location, including 30 maintenance-provided homes. The houses are located across the Kansas City metropolitan area and range in price from $220,000 to nearly $1.85 million.

Legal Morass Muddies the Waters on the WOTUS Rule Which WOTUS Rule Applies?
A recent ruling by the U.S. District Court for South Carolina means that for the foreseeable future, roughly half of U.S. states will be abiding by one set of rules pertaining to waters of the United States while the rest will abide by different rules.
A brief background: Between 1986 and 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operated under the 1986 definition of the Clean Water Act term “waters of the United States.” In August 2015, the EPA promulgated a new definition of waters of the United States that was known as the WOTUS rule. Litigation ensued in multiple courts around the country. Soon thereafter, the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit enjoined the WOTUS rule nationwide, which prevented its implementation. Thus, the 1986 definition was still in effect. The Sixth’s Circuit’s decision was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2018. However, before the Supreme Court’s decision took effect, the EPA finalized a rule that added an “applicability date” to the 2015 WOTUS rule. This rule postponed the applicability of the WOTUS rule until 2020. Therefore, nationwide, the EPA and Corps of Engineers still applied the 1986 definition of waters of the United States.
ruling pending appeal. However, NAHB’s coalition had already asked a court in Texas to enjoin the 2015 WOTUS rule nationwide and recently reiterated that request. Meanwhile, EPA is trying to finalize another 2017 proposed rulemaking that would finally repeal the 2015 WOTUS rule and temporarily replace it with the original (1986) regulatory definition of WOTUS.
On Aug. 16, 2018, the District Court for South Carolina ruled that the EPA had improperly added the applicability date to the 2015 WOTUS Rule. The judge explained that the EPA had restricted the topics that the public could comment on when it proposed to add the applicability date. According to the court, this restriction denied the public a meaningful opportunity to comment on the applicability date rule. Thus, it nullified the applicability date rule nationwide.
According to EPA’s current regulatory agenda, the rule repealing the 2015 WOTUS rule is expected to be finalized by November of this year. Moreover, the Trump administration’s proposed version of a new regulatory definition of WOTUS consistent with the president’s guidelines contained within his executive order on this issue is expected by October. Given the legal confusion created by the U.S. District Court for South Carolina ruling coupled with various WOTUS-related rulemakings expected from EPA and the Corps of Engineers over the coming months, NAHB will provide regular updates as the situation develops.
This decision leaves the regulated community in a state of disarray. Other courts have previously enjoined, or prohibited, application of the 2015 WOTUS rule.
So where do things stand now?
For more information, contact Michael Mittelholzer at 800-3685242 x8660.
In 24 states (see map), the 1986 definition of waters of the United States is applicable. In the remaining 26 states, the 2015 WOTUS rule defines the term “waters of the United States.”

KC, MO Tops List of Most Permits Issued in 2018 So Far Permit issuance slowed in July, but with 485 single family units permitted during the month, the year-to-date total of 3,594 is within 2 percent of 2017’s first seven months, according to the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City’s (HBA) monthly Residential Building Permit Statistics report. Multi-family units (five or more units per building) has surpassed the same period last year, with 1,305 units permitted in 2018 compared to 1,191 in 2017.
YOU SEE A WARM HOME WE SEE SAVINGS FOR YOUR FUTURE.
Kansas City, Mo., has recorded the highest number of permits so far in 2018, with 526 in its three-county reach. Olathe has the second highest number of permits issued with 342 units. Lee’s Summit (269 permits), Blue Springs (266 permits), and Lenexa (228 permits) round out the top five cities with the most permits issued in the first seven months of 2018.
Homeowners save with natural gas. Natural gas furnaces heat homes more efficiently than electric heat pumps: the average household can save $400 to $500 a year with a natural gas furnace.
New homes are under construction in several new subdivisions. The permit increase in Blue Springs (from 106 in 2017 to 266 in 2018) is centered in neighborhoods that feature duplex and four-plex homes: Tequesta Village, Colonial Highlands and Eagle Ridge Villas. North of the river, the Thousand Oaks subdivision in Parkville has increased its number of permits issued by 20 compared to the same period in 2017 and Seven Bridges (Platte county) is also growing. The Meadows, in Spring Hill, and St. John’s Highlands in Gardner are also reporting increased permit activity.
A BETTER TOMORROW STARTS TODAY. www.kansasgasservice.com
Home buyers will be able to visit these subdivisions and many others during the Fall Parade of Homes, September 22 through October 7, which will feature 330 new homes built by 105 of the HBA’s member builders.
