The Fall Parade of Homes returns to the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, September 29-October 14 and will showcase 242 new homes that will be free and open to the public 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Homes are located in eight counties with 117 in Kansas, 50 in the Missouri north area, and 75 in the Missouri south area from 79 home builders.

Planning a Parade experience is made even easier thanks to the wealth of resources available through the Fall Parade site, www.kcparadeofhomes.com.

Once there, visitors can browse homes by price, location, builder, floor plan, subdivision and more as well as visit builder websites.

“The HBA Fall Parade of Homes is the second largest in the United States due to extremely high builder participation,” stated Sara Corless, executive director of the HBA of Kansas City. “Owning your own home is not just an investment in your portfolio, it’s a place that derives happiness on a daily basis. We are thrilled to see that single family home building is on the upswing and home buyers are reconnecting with the American dream that owning your own home is still something worth cherishing.”

See this year’s entries on pages 4 thru 8 and online at KCParadeofHomes.org

Today’s market offers a number of reasons to buy a home including affordable prices, low mortgage rates and great new homes.

In addition, innovative materials and construction techniques mean that today’s new homes are built to be much more energy efficient than homes constructed a generation ago. We invite you to come out once again and experience the latest and greatest innovations in new homes.

For more than 60 years, home builders across the Kansas City metropolitan area have shown their commitment to building a better community by offering a wealth of housing choices in the places where we live, work and play. Everyone is invited to come out once again and experience the fall tradition. Visit KCParadeofHomes.com.

Government & Politics

Building Code Officials in Johnson County Finalizing Amendments to International Construction Codes Building code officials from several jurisdictions in Johnson County are working to develop final recommendations on amendments to the 2012 International construction codes to submit for consideration to their respective governing bodies.

On September 4, 2012, Shawnee Codes Official, Steve Thompson, was the first to present an update on the joint code review process to the City of Shawnee’s council

Building Business News

committee. Thompson stated that the various fire and code officials would meet again to finalize consensus on all remaining issues before the end of the year. He also affirmed that proposed amendments to the energy code are still under study. HBA members were in Shawnee to share the HBA’s position on amendments to the codes, provide some cost data analysis related to the energy code amendments, and urge building code

officials to continue the dialogue with the industry until a consensus can be reached. The new codes would take effect as early as January 1,2013.

Strong Summer Ends with a Dip for Single Family Permits

Overall there was a dip in permits, but don’t tell Platte County or Johnson County where some cities have enjoyed growth of more than 145 percent on average over the same period last year, according to the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City’s (HBA) monthly Residential Building Permit Statistics report. Platte County year to date has a total of 216 single family permits with nearly all coming from Kansas City, Parkville and in the county. Johnson County year to date has a total of 802 single family permits with the biggest jumps seen in Leawood and Shawnee as a percentage of the overall permits issued.

Multi-family numbers continue to grow rapidly, too, coming in at nearly twice the number compared to 2011 year to date and five times that of 2010.

In August, 457 multi-family permits were issued in apartment projects in Lenexa and Kansas City, Missouri (Platte County).

“Credit continues to ease slightly for builders and mortgage rates that were already at record lows continue to bring buyers into the market and allow homeowners to refinance which continues to help the Kansas City Market improve,” said Executive Vice President Sara Corless. “After more than five years of weakness in the Kansas City economy this improvement is bringing more builders and developers back into the market and creating exciting new product for a new generation of buyers.”
