Besides labor and materials, what do you need for more starts? LOTS!!!! Lots ready to be started on today are at the lowest level ever per our lot supply index. Future lots are important too: up 1% QOQ and 2.2% YOY #housing #housingstarts

I knew some builders were pausing sales entirely but this is the first time I’ve seen the supply and demand imbalance be so publicly advertised #housingwows
Replying to @EricHiguchi
Since this tweet yesterday, I got an email from a big private builder who basically said- due to unprecedented demand, we are not accepting visits to any of communities at this time as we don’t have any selling opportunities 🤯

We are thrilled North Carolina is recognized as the 2020 State of the Year by @bizfacilities! Large project wins across a diverse group of growth sectors were cited as a reason NC came out on top. Find out why NC is the State of the Year: ow.ly/XBXh50D0Hy5
Our new home sales index is made up of 2 components: new home orders & the average sales rate per community. We've never seen the gap of the components be so large. This is saying: builders that have the homes to sell are crushing it, but inventory is holding back greater growth

New home sales increase in July. Up 14% to a post-Great Recession high pace of 901K annual rate. Months' supply falls to a low level of 4 pointing to construction ahead. Prices rising as material costs increase, including lumber now up more than 130% since mid-April. @NAHBhome
Single-family housing starts up 8% in July, rising to 940K annualized pace. 2020 single-family starts up 0.9% YTD, with @NAHBhome / @WellsFargo HMI up to level of 78 in Aug. Lumber prices, up more than 110% since mid-April, adding $14,000 to price of a typical new home.
The Triangle-area housing market has a current inventory of ~16-month supply of finished/developed lots. So if no other lots were developed, builders would eat through those lots in 16 months & be completely out. For context, equilibrium is 24-28 month supply of lots.

Americans are showing more interest in suburban and rural areas as the housing market recovers from shutdowns. Views of suburban home listings on Realtor.com in May 2020 grew 13% compared to May 2019, roughly double the rate of urban areas. marketwatch.com/story/americ…

#Homeownership rate bounced back to 64.8% in Q3 from 64.1% in Q2 and 64.4% in Q3 2018 @uscensusbureau #Housing shortage+more sf rentals keep this number from rising faster. #realestate

Always good to be in the know as the housing market and commercial property markets are linked when it comes to jobs and development. @Metrostudy @ColliersRDU

Some see a dirt road. We see game night in the living room 🎲, playing fetch in the yard 🐶 and holiday cheers around the table 🥂. This is the future site of The Cottages…and future memories. Coming in 2020! What’s your favorite memory from your childhood home?

Dr. Michael Walden @NCSU and Dr. Eugene Flood at Next Sector Capital agree: 2019 will be a growth year, but not quite as robust as 2018. Flood expects a .5% drop in GDP growth from 2018 to the end of 2019. #NCForecast2019
