PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Shane Wagoner – Wagoner Homes, Inc.
Regulation Halloween is around the corner and our annual Fall Parade of Homes is here. The leaves are changing, and the temperature is starting to drop. I just closed on a home and I couldn’t be happier. The buyers were pleased and I consider myself fortunate. As success seems more difficult to achieve in our industry, I am glad to have had the opportunity to sale a speculative house in a difficult market. I plan to start a couple more and keep my fingers crossed for more success. Success has become tough for small independent builders in part due to rising costs. I have vented about this before but in reality, the numbers are showing this to be true, maybe more so than we thought. A new study by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) shows just how much government regulation affects the price of a new home. The study indicates that regulation imposed by the government at all levels account for 25% of the final price of a new singlefamily home built for sale. Nearly two-thirds of this is due to land development for the finished lot. Just over one-third of the house price is a result of costs incurred by the builder after purchasing the finished lot.
This study is nothing new, it just puts a startling number to what we already saw happening. If this doesn’t change, people will only be able to afford a one bedroom house due to regulatory inflation. They’ll have to fill it with bunk beds just to make sure everyone has a place to sleep! Maybe that’s too sarcastic, but my point is that a change is in order. Supporting your local HBA is a way we can all have a voice at the state and national level, supporting common sense policies and advocating against those that are imbalanced and oftentimes, unnecessary. Reach out to other members, have them reach out to nonmembers and let’s work together to grow our membership, so our voice can be even louder. Get to know your state representatives. To be honest, when I first joined, I didn’t personally know our state reps. Now that I have gotten to know them, I have found them to be great people. They are very knowledgeable and more than willing to have a discussion about policy. I don’t know about you, but I’m too big and getting too old to sleep in a bunk bed.

Residential elevators are becoming the new appliance for multilevel homes. A residential elevator can enhance any home’s aesthetic appeal while adding function and luxury. For those with mobility issues, an in-home elevator or stair lift can dramatically improve quality of life and increase independence. With the baby boomer population aging, now is the opportune time to incorporate residential elevators or stair lifts into new built homes as well as upgrade current residences with an addition. According to the latest U. S. Census bureau statistics there are over 40 million people in the United States that are 65 or over. This aging population combined with the steadily increasing life expectancy in our country presents a large target audience for in-home mobility services. If your client isn’t quite ready to install an elevator in their new home, some extra planning prior to new construction can make it easier to add one in the future. We provide construction tips to make it easier to make new homes “elevator ready,” making the home attractive to new buyers if they decide to delay the elevator purchase.
Some of the important benefits of a residential elevator are: Baby boomers aging and wanting to stay in current home or build new homes It makes multi-level homes much more accessible Homes are more marketable, livable, valuable It makes it easy to get people and things from floor to floor Building up more economical than building out Dramatic design feature that makes people proud of their homes Priced comparable to other home upgrades Easy to incorporate in home design Increases your home resale value
