serve over 350 families a week during our Impact-to-Go,” said Kim Danly, director of Impact-to-Go. “They were able to haul in several pallets of food at one time, due to them using their commercial equipment - this translated into thousands and thousands of pounds of food to families in Eastern Jackson County.”
s unemployment numbers have climbed during the COVID-19 quarantine, more and more people have become dependent on donations to keep food on the table for their families. Several local organizations have stepped up to help meet the growing need, including Impact-to-Go, which is a ministry of First Baptist Church of Blue Springs. Every Tuesday, Impact-to-Go provides food for families in need. But when this all began, they had a problem — they had no way to get food from Harvesters to their site in Blue Springs. That’s when KCHBA members Shawn Woods of Ashlar Homes, Todd Campbell, and Chad McGraw of McGraw Homes stepped in. These three used their flatbeds to haul food from Harvesters to Impact-to-Go’s headquarters in Blue Springs for three weeks until Impact-to-Go was able to be added on Harvesters’ drop-off list. “I would like to thank Shawn Woods, Todd Campbell, and Chad McGraw for their selfless giving of their time, business equipment, and funds to help us with our operational set up as we prepared to

New Single-Family Home Size Declines Ending?

Board of Directors Meeting
N
ew single-family home size has trended lower over the last four years as builders sought to add additional entrylevel supply to an inventory-starved housing market. However, the coronavirus and the recession of 2020 potentially reset those trends, as evidence grows that households will seek more space for home offices, home gyms, and other purposes.

Early Deadline for Fall Parade of Homes Entries
According to first quarter 2020 data from the Census Quarterly Starts and Completions by Purpose and Design and NAHB analysis, median single-family square floor area ticked up to 2,291 square feet. Average (mean) square footage for new single-family homes was effectively unchanged at 2,506 square feet. On a less volatile one-year moving average, the recent trend of declines in new home size can be seen on the graph above. Since cycle lows (and on a one-year moving average basis), the average size of new single-family homes is now less than 5% higher at 2,487 square feet, while the median size is less than 8% higher at 2,266 square feet. The post-recession increase in single-family home size was consistent with the historical pattern coming out of recessions. Typical new home size falls prior to and during a recession as home buyers tighten budgets, and then sizes rise as high-end homebuyers, who face fewer credit constraints, return to the housing market in relatively greater proportions. This pattern was exacerbated during the current business cycle due to market weakness among first-time homebuyers and supply-side constraints in the building market. In contrast to single-family patterns, new multifamily apartment size is down compared to the pre-recession period. This is due to the weak for-sale multifamily market and strength for rental demand.
NATURAL GAS BRINGS YOU SAVINGS FOR YOUR FUTURE.
Given the importance of housing during the virus crisis, we are forecasting gains in home size in the quarters ahead.
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.

Lumber Prices Move Sharply Higher on Rising Demand and Supply Constraints NAHB Now, May 18, 2020
R
ising demand stemming from a surge of do-it-yourself projects from consumers working at home coupled with restricted supply due to lumber mills operating at a diminished capacity have led to a recent upsurge in lumber prices. The latest Random Lengths Framing Composite Price for the week ending May 15 rose by 6.3% to $406 per thousand board feet — the first time the index topped $400 since March 20, 2020.

Framing lumber prices have increased 13% since May 1 — the largest two-week increase in over a decade and the first increase greater than 10% since the start of the U.S.-Canada Softwood Lumber Dispute in early 2017.

This recent increase in lumber prices comes at a time when the government reported backward-looking data that shows building material prices posted a record decline in April — during the height of the pandemic and before many states rescinded stay-athome orders and began phased re-openings of local economies. Related factors driving this recent increase in lumber prices include: •
Rising demand from big box retailers — driven by do-it-yourself activity and the fact that building supply stores have been Continued on page 7
6
designated as “essential businesses” across the nation — has limited the supply available to traders, wholesalers and distributors; and •
Slowing mill production as home building activity dropped sharply during the early weeks of the outbreak.
•
The recent price increase has been especially acute in Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) dimension lumber, with SYP 2×4 prices climbing nearly 50% since mid-April. The four-week increase is the largest in at least 25 years (weekly data first became available in 1995), topping the prior record of 30% set in 2003.
Lumber demand tends to be a reliable leading indicator of residential construction activity, thus the recent price hikes due to increased demand coupled with reduced mill capacity should be viewed as a sign that mills must ramp up production as the home building industry continues into the spring home buying season. Meanwhile, builders should prepare accordingly and expect that the lumber price rebounds during the past couple of weeks are likely to continue.

SBA and Treasury Release PPP Loan Forgiveness Application NAHB Now, May 16, 2020
T
he U.S. Small Business Administration, in consultation with the U.S Department of the Treasury, has released the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan Forgiveness Application and detailed instructions for the application. The form and instructions inform borrowers how to apply for forgiveness of their PPP loans, consistent with the CARES Act. SBA will also soon issue regulations and guidance to further assist borrowers as they complete their applications, and to provide lenders with guidance on their responsibilities. The form and instructions include several measures to reduce compliance burdens and simplify the process for borrowers, including: • Options for borrowers to calculate payroll costs using an “alternative payroll covered period” that aligns with borrowers’ regular payroll cycles; • Flexibility to include eligible payroll and non-payroll expenses paid or incurred during the eight-week period after receiving their PPP loan; • Step-by-step instructions on how to perform the calculations required by the CARES Act to confirm eligibility for loan forgiveness; • Borrower-friendly implementation of statutory exemptions from loan forgiveness reduction based on rehiring by June 30; and • Addition of a new exemption from the loan forgiveness reduction for borrowers who have made a good-faith, written offer to rehire workers that was declined.

ousing data was in focus last month, with April readings showing market impacts from government-imposed shutdowns intended to facilitate virus mitigation. While those impacts were strongly negative, the realized declines have been relatively smaller in the housing industry than initially forecasted.

Moreover, the notable resiliency of housing demand amid historic job losses is an indicator of the potential of the housing sector to help lead the economy in an eventual rebound. While challenges still lie ahead — particularly the possibility for a large, second outbreak of the virus in the fall — the designation of home construction as an essential industry combined with the reopening of major portions of the U.S. economy sets the stage for improving data for the housing sector in the months ahead.

The benchmark measure of builder confidence, the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI), rebounded in May, increasing seven points to a still negative reading of 37. The gain in May nonetheless pointed to improvements for housing starts ahead, with April being a low point for the current recession.

Single-family starts were down 25% in April from March, declining to an annualized rate of 650,000. The April level marks the slowest annualized pace since 2015 and is off 37% since the strong rate recorded in February. The strength of the early 2020 data means that even with recent declines, single-family starts remain 1% higher for the first four months of the year compared to the first four month of 2019.

Existing home sales, as estimated by the National Association of Realtors, experienced the largest decline in 10 years. Despite being down 18% in April relative to March, current inventory remains tight, with only a 4.1-months’ supply. Pricing actually accelerated to a 7% year-over-year gain, which is another indicator of the potential gains for housing.

Another positive indicator comes from the Mortgage Bankers Association mortgage data, which finds that mortgage applications for home purchases have increased for five straight weeks and are down only 1% compared to a year ago. Given this demand environment, thus far, relatively few builders are cutting prices to

generate sales. In the April HMI, only 22% of builders reported using price incentives, and among those, the typical price cut was only 5%. In contrast, 40% of builders reduced prices at the end of 2018, during the housing soft patch of 2018-2019. Despite these relatively encouraging housing data points, macro data continue to show historic challenges. Another 2.4 million jobless claims were filed this week, bringing the two-month total to almost 39 million total job losses. The data implies an unemployment rate of more than 17%, with our forecast suggesting a rate closer to 20% for the second quarter. Such job losses will have ripple effects on purchase data for consumers, although it is worth noting that prior economic research finds that duration matters for job losses. When unemployment is held to periods of less than six months, consumers are able to adapt without major changes in decisions regarding large purchase plans. The April job report found that 18 million individuals believed it was possible for them to regain their prior employment, which is an encouraging sign for a rebound.

2020 Residential Permitting Holds Steady
M
etro-wide single-family permits totaled 434 during April— leading to a four-month total of 1,702 units according to statistics compiled by the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City (KCHBA). This year-to-date total is an increase of 38 percent over the same period in 2019. Each county in the area has recorded an increase during 2020, with the exception of Jackson County which has only a small overall decrease of 1 percent (three permits). Cities in Cass County have reported the largest increase with 183 more units permitted in 2020 to date than in 2019. This increase is largely attributable to building activity in Belton which has jumped from 20 permits in 2019 to 168 during 2020. In single-family activity, Kansas City, Mo., tops the most active city list with 287 permits issued (compared with 198 in 2019), followed by Olathe with 208, Belton at 168, Overland Park with 124, and Lee’s Summit with 119 permits.
