FROM THE PRESIDENT We are now midway through the construction season, and most of us are still facing an uncertainty in materials and labor shortages, as well as volatility in material pricing. Cabinetry and Appliance delays have had a big impact on us here at Stier Construction, and it has been a bit trying at times to keep to our tight schedules. Recent news released that lumber pricing is starting to finally recede and should return to some level of stability, but pre covid pricing and ample supply will not be here any time soon. NAHB has been busy working on ways to solve the lumber crisis over the past year, including asking congress to consider ways to boost lumber supply and increase production. We are fortunate to have them on our side and advocating for a stable and more competitive price on lumber that is currently in such high demand. Being a member of RAB provides the support these organizations need to in turn support us and our builders, and you should be proud to be part of this group. Speaking of membership, I would like to talk a bit about how getting more involved RAB can maximize your membership benefits. Joining one of the boards or committees is an excellent way for you to contribute your thoughts, as well as connect with fellow members. As for myself, I have learned a ton, as well as made some awesome connections along the way! Our organization relies on active members to volunteer and keep the wheels turning. So, if this is something you may be interested in, please reach out to an existing member or myself to chat.
Golf Outing: A big thank you to all the sponsors of the golf outing. The weather cooperated and we had a great turnout. Eischen paired me up with BAM president Howie Zetah and Builder VP, John McGuine, and we had an awesome day of golf. I am glad I was able to get to know these great guys better. Team registration is now open for the Builders, Bags and Brews event in August, so get your buddies together and put it on your calendar! Sponsorships are also available, and you can contact RAB office if interested. Come join us and celebrate your membership, at our Member Appreciation Night. We will be recognizing our honorary members, as well as introducing the new. Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be provided as well as a cash bar. Hosted beer from LTS thanks to Home Federal! The annual Member Appreciation Night is being held Tuesday, July 27th from 4:30-7pm at Mayowood Stone Barn. Register on the app, or online.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Residential Development Opportunity:
Roverud Park Neighborhood
About Spring Grove Spring Grove is a scenic town in Southeast Minnesota of approximately 1,300 people. Located along State Highway 44, Spring Grove has convenient access to Rochester, Decorah, and La Crosse, and the Mississippi River is only a short drive away. Despite its small size, Spring Grove boasts a number of amenities that many small towns seek, including a local grocery store, pharmacy, healthcare clinic, nursing home facilities, cinema, public aquatic center, several childcare options, an award-winning school district, and much more. The town features a robust business and non-profit presence, with a charming historic downtown, an expansive network of parks, and a high level of civic engagement and pride. With numerous opportunities for recreation and business development, Spring Grove is an ideal location for people from all walks of life to live, work, and play.
Overview of Development Opportunity Spring Grove is a town poised for growth. According to the City’s housing study completed in 2020, Spring Grove will need to add an additional 82 housing units by 2030 to accommodate the projected population growth. The City has identified the City-owned public works property overlooking scenic Roverud Park as a prime location for new housing development. This is due to several factors favorable to both the City and a potential developer: ● Utilities are already present on the property, reducing upfront cost to extend infrastructure ● The property is City-owned, so there are no third party land-owners to contend with ● The site is ideal for building small housing units, which have been identified as a critical need in Spring Grove’s tight real estate market as seniors age out of their homes and are looking to downsize while maintaining independence ● The site is located in a quiet, established residential area only a block from downtown, with lovely views of Roverud Park to the west and farmland to the south Spring Grove is looking for an interested party to develop this space into residential units. Deadline to submit a proposal is August 2, 2021. 1

NAHB Study Finds Double Sinks & Pantries the Most Popular Kitchen Features BY PAUL EMRATH on JUNE 17, 2021 In the recent NAHB study, What Home Buyers Really Want, 2021 Edition, side-by-side double sinks and walk-in pantries ranked as the most popular of 30 listed kitchen features. This result is based on a comprehensive, nationwide survey of 3,247 recent and prospective home buyers conducted in the summer of 2020. Among other things, the survey asked recent and prospective buyers to rate over 200 home and community features using the following, four-tier scale (which emphasizes how a particular feature influences the buyer’s purchase decision):
Topping the list of kitchen features, the side-by-side double sink and walk-in pantry are rated essential or desirable by 81 percent of buyers. More than four of every 10 buyers think the double sink is so essential they would be unlikely to buy a home without it, the highest essential share of all kitchen features listed. After the top two, four features are wanted by more than 70 percent of buyers: table space for eating (78 percent), a central island (77 percent), drinking water filtration (76 percent), and granite or other natural stone countertop (73 percent). Not far behind, three features are essential/desirable to more than two-thirds of all buyers: recessed lighting (69 percent), customized backsplash (69 percent), and pull-out shelves (68 percent). Overall, more than half of home buyers rated 20 of the 30 kitchen features either essential or desirable.
Millennial (born 1980 to 1996) and Gen X (born 1965 to 1979) buyers are more likely to want certain kitchen features than their Boomer (born 1946 to 1964) counterparts, by a margin of 25 percentage points in some cases. For example, a steam oven is desirable or essential to 51 percent of Millennials and to 47 percent of Gen X buyers, but only to 19 percent of Boomers – a 32 point difference between the youngest and oldest buyers. Likewise, considerable shares (>50 percent) of the younger two generations would be positively influenced to purchase a home if the kitchen included a trash compactor, a wine cooler, a central island with range, and a double island. In contrast, the share of Boomers who want those features only ranges from 25 to 37 percent. All these generational differences are statistically significant, and remain significant after controlling for the income, race, geography and household composition of the buyer. To see home buyer preferences for other features (including all results broken down by Census division, age, generation, race/ethnicity, income, priced expected to pay for the home, household composition, and first-time vs. repeat buyer) and a complete description of the survey design and sampling methodology, please consult the full study.

“THE ZUMBRO RIVER STARTS HERE” Downtown Stormwater Demonstration Site
E
xplore the completed pocket park on the west side of 1st Avenue SW adjacent to the 3rd Street Parking Ramp. This is a new stormwater demonstration site highlighting green infrastructure design in an ultra-urban environment. The City of Rochester was awarded an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Section 319 Grant in January of 2015 to improve the water quality of the Zumbro River by identifying feasible demonstration sites in the downtown area for demonstrating the implementation of green infrastructure designs, benefits, and maintenance practices in an ultra‐urban environment. Green infrastructure practices need to be implemented when (re)development projects exceed thresholds determined by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The site demonstrates several stormwater management practices including:
• Rainwater harvesting from the parking garage • Curb cuts to accept runoff from the street • Rain gardens to infiltrate stormwater • Stacked Limestone fountain to filter and recirculate stormwater • Underground storage of rainwater to supply irrigation and the water feature • Filtration of stormwater • Runnels to transport stormwater across the site • Educational signage on stormwater management
Visitors to the demonstration site will learn from interpretive signage about why it matters that we help capture, purify and reuse stormwater and how stormwater best management systems do this. Visitors can also trigger water effects through the garden, demonstrating in real time how the various systems work. We hope you check it out! Please contact us with any questions on how to include green infrastructure design to address stormwater management if your building projects.

Q1 2021 HBGI: Home Building and Commuting BY LITIC MURALI on JUNE 18, 2021 In addition to its analysis on areas with the longest commuting times, the Q1 2021 Home Building Geography Index (HBGI) features two other Commute-to-Work data series: counties with top shares of bicycle commuters (i.e., greater than or equal to 0.5 percent) and counties with top shares1 of work-from-home workers (greater than or equal to 6.6 percent). Single-family and multifamily housing submarkets for both categories had been bifurcated at the county-level between the top quintile and all other areas for this analysis. The HBGI data show that the top quintile of counties of bicycle commuters accounted for 31.3 percent of single-family homebuilding as of the first quarter of 2021. During 2016, that is, the first few quarters under the HBGI’s purview, the share had been slightly larger.
approximately three times greater in counties where the share of work-from-home workers is less than 6.6 percent, which effectively make up 80 percent of all counties surveyed.
The data show that single-family home building outpaced its multifamily counterpart in recent history, particularly in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated work-from-home arrangements that often resulted in many Americans moving away from core counties of large metro and small metro areas. 1.
The market shares have a more intuitive result when looking at the multifamily sector: top bicycle commuter counties accounted for 52.4 percent of multifamily home building. Therefore, one might reasonably expect the share of multifamily home building to be greater in these counties, as commuting by bicycle is a popular choice of transit in urban areas. Counties with a relatively high percentage of workfrom-home workers, have lower market shares in both single-family and multifamily home building, by about 50 percent in both submarkets, than their office-focused commuter counterparts. In other words, single-family and multifamily homebuilding is
Both shares are derived from data from the “Commuting Characteristics” table of the 2018 5-year American Community Survey. Hence, they do not account for any subsequent changes that might have ensued in later years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the number of work-from-home workers greatly increased due to shelter-in-place restrictions.

Real Estate Market Values Surge in the First Quarter BY LITIC MURALI on JUNE 11, 2021 The latest results from the Federal Reserve’s Z.1 Financial Accounts of the United States, i.e., the “Flow of Funds”, show that, in the first quarter of 2021, the aggregate market value of all owneroccupied real estate in the United States registered the largest numerical quarterly increase in the last 20 years’ worth of data. From $32.84 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2020, real estate rose by $0.94 trillion to $33.78 trillion. The market has been bolstered immensely by nationwide home price appreciation, which only overheats it even more.
On the liabilities side of real estate’s balance sheet, home mortgages rose by $120 billion in the last quarter to $11.04 trillion. In terms of the scale of increases, the real estate assets are increasing much faster than real estate liabilities. The change in the value total home mortgages owe to the combination of more mortgages being undertaken by prospective homeowners and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all mortgages being paid down. Per the Mortgage Bankers Association’s latest assessment, the share of home loans in forbearance is currently 4.16%, an important data point to consider as the American economy reopens from the pandemic and many Americans exit the financial hardship they had previously experienced under COVID-19’s stranglehold on the economy. Meanwhile, aggregate owners’ equity, that is the difference between the market value of all owneroccupied real estate and the aggregate value of home mortgages increased in the latest quarter to $22.7 trillion, or 67% of all household real estate, the highest share since 1989. This high share speaks more broadly for all homeowners as a good time to refinance their existing loans, which the Mortgage Bankers Association’s recent weekly survey data reflect.
