Message from the President<br />
Dear HBA Members,<br />
What do higher interest rates mean for the housing market?<br />
If you have been thinking<br />
about buying or have<br />
recently purchased a<br />
home you know that<br />
the market is incredibly<br />
competitive. Part of the<br />
reason for the vibrant<br />
housing market is that<br />
interest rates have been<br />
low for almost a decade.<br />
But the era of ultra-low<br />
interest rates appears to<br />
be slowly coming to an end. The current national average<br />
interest rate for a 30 year fixed loan home mortgage is 4.4%<br />
as of July 1st, <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
So how do rising interest rates translate into real dollars?<br />
Let’s say that you decided to purchase a $300,000 home<br />
and you are planning on putting 20% down, or $60,000 and<br />
finance $240,000 over 30 years. If you locked in your loan at<br />
3.5% interest rate your monthly payment would be $1,078<br />
and you would end up paying $387,975 over the term of the<br />
loan. If you locked in your loan at 4.25% interest rate your<br />
monthly payment would be $1,180 and you would end up<br />
paying $425,036 over the term of the loan excluding taxes<br />
and insurance.<br />
When should you buy?<br />
If you are looking to buy and are able to do it now, you’ll<br />
save money over doing it later. Not only are interest rates<br />
expected to continue to climb, we are also seeing building<br />
material price increases that are outpacing wage growth.<br />
Any additional increases in the interest rates mean that<br />
your monthly payment is higher, which decreases your<br />
purchasing power.<br />
Some Perspective.<br />
Mortgage rates will continue to be low by historical standards.<br />
They were around 7% in the 1990’s and in the early 1980’s they<br />
were as high as 18%! So while interest rates may creep toward<br />
5% over the next year remember that we didn’t see a rate<br />
below 5% until 2009. So while the rates aren’t as low as they<br />
once were it is still a good time to buy a home.<br />

<strong>Builders</strong> Respond to Growing Interest in Green Homes<br />
During National Homeownership Month in June, we’re focusing<br />
on the critical role that the home plays in our lives and how NAHB<br />
members are finding innovative ways to build the American Dream.<br />
Ongoing research by NAHB and its partners shows that many<br />
home buyers are interested in green, sustainable and highperformance<br />
building practices. NAHB’s report, Housing<br />
Preferences of the Boomer Generation: How They Compare to<br />
Other Home Buyers, asked home buyers across four generations –<br />
millennials, Gen Xers, baby boomers and seniors – what features<br />
they consider essential/desirable in a new home.<br />

Energy-efficient strategies, including ENERGY STAR appliances<br />
and windows and above-code insulation made the most-wanted<br />
list and would positively influence the purchase decision of 80% or<br />
more of all home buyers. Water-efficient features were also cited as<br />
essential/desirable by 72% of respondents.<br />
<strong>Builders</strong> are responding to this interest by increasingly<br />
incorporating these strategies in new home construction.<br />
“Homes constructed with green, sustainable and high-performance<br />
strategies offer home owners a product that can reduce their<br />
total cost of ownership through lower utility bills and can be<br />
resold at a premium in many markets,” said Troy Johns, founder<br />
of Urban Northwest Homes in Vancouver, Wash. “These homes<br />
also generally provide increased comfort and a healthier indoor<br />
environment for occupants.”<br />
Approximately one-quarter of the single-family builders in NAHB’s<br />
2017 Green Practices Survey are building with strategies that would<br />
qualify for at least Bronze-level certification under the requirements<br />
of the 2015 National Green Building Standard (NGBS).<br />
The NGBS is the only green rating system approved by the<br />
American National Standards Institute and provides thirdparty<br />
certification for residential construction through six key<br />
categories: site design, resource efficiency, water efficiency, energy<br />
efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and building operation<br />
and maintenance. Homes must meet a minimum threshold in each<br />
category to achieve certification.<br />
The Green Practices Survey also showed that current home building<br />
practices among respondents met Bronze level certification in energy<br />
efficiency for 74% of the properties and over half met it for water,<br />
indoor environmental quality and operation/maintenance.<br />
To help industry professionals respond to the growing interest in<br />
green building, NAHB offers the Certified Green Professional<br />
and Master Certified Green Professional designations. These<br />
designations recognize builders, remodelers and other industry<br />
professionals who incorporate green and sustainable building<br />
principles into homes. NAHB also offers educational courses in<br />
green building. Get started at nahb.org/learn.<br />

3rd Annual Construction Camp at Clear Creek Amana<br />
The 3rd Annual Construction Camp was held the weeks of June 10th and June 18th.<br />
With the help and support of the Greater Iowa City Area Home <strong>Builders</strong> Association, the third Annual CCA Construction Camp was a success! Mr.<br />
Clark and Mrs. Boeset, both returned as instructors for week one with Mr. Clark bringing in help for week two as Mrs. Boeset had another commitment.<br />
Middle school students in the <strong>2018</strong> camp participated in 5 days of learning and doing from 9 am to 3 pm. The campers learned how to use a tape<br />
measure as well as tool safety before they constructed a box to take home and a swing to share with local trails.<br />

Housing Starts Reach<br />
Post-Recession High in<br />
May as Permits Soften<br />

<br />
Total housing starts rose 5% in May to a<br />
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.35<br />
million units, according to newly released<br />
data from HUD and the Commerce<br />
Department. This is the highest housing<br />
starts report since July 2007.<br />
<br />
<br />
While housing production numbers rose,<br />
overall permits dropped 4.6% to 1.3 million<br />
units: Single-family permits fell 2.2% to<br />
844,000 while multifamily permits fell 8.7%<br />
to 457,000.<br />
“Ongoing job creation, positive<br />
demographics and tight existing home<br />
inventory should spur more single-family<br />
production in the months ahead,” said<br />
NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz.<br />
“However, the softening of single-family<br />
permits is consistent with our reports<br />
showing that builders are concerned over<br />
mounting construction costs, including the<br />
highly elevated prices of softwood lumber.”<br />
The May reading of 1.35 million is the<br />
number of housing units builders would<br />
begin if they kept this pace for the next<br />
12 months. Within this overall number,<br />
single-family starts rose 3.9% to 936,000—<br />
the second highest reading since the Great<br />
Recession. Meanwhile, the multifamily<br />
sector rose 7.5% to 414,000 units.<br />
Year-to-date, single-family and multifamily<br />
production are respectively 9.8% and 13.6%<br />
higher than their levels over the same period<br />
last year. The year-to-date metric can help<br />
compare performance data over a specific<br />
time period and show growth trends.<br />
“We should see builders continue to<br />
increase production to meet growing<br />
consumer demand even as they grapple<br />
with stubborn supply-side constraints,<br />
particularly rising lumber costs,” said<br />

REMODELER’S CORNER<br />
Martin Construction, founded in 2007, is a family-owned remodeling company<br />
with Andy Martin—former Greater Iowa City Area HBA President—<br />
at the helm. Martin Construction works with clients in the Iowa City area<br />
on projects from the smallest repair to total renovations, offering personal service<br />
and professional work, while achieving the highest standards; whether it’s fixing a<br />
sticky door or re-designing your whole home, they’ve got you covered!<br />
This remodel involved transforming the entire first level of the home: the entryway,<br />
living room, dining area, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms. In addition, a threeseasons<br />
room used for storage was fully enclosed, and made into the master bedroom.<br />
Kitchen cabinets and counters were provided by Kitchens by Design using Ultra Craft<br />
and Ceaserstone. The Alabaster Oak LVP flooring and glass backsplash were supplied<br />
by Bachmeier Carpet One, and the Kohler faucet and stainless-steel double-bowl sink,<br />
along with other plumbing fixtures, were supplied by Studio H20.<br />

“One of the best things about what we do is we get to help our clients solve<br />
the problems they have with their home. Another is the opportunity to completely<br />
transform spaces. On this project, we got to do both of those things, so<br />
that was really rewarding. This was a fun young family to work with, and now<br />
their home will really work for them as their kids grow.” - Andy Martin, owner of<br />
Martin Construction<br />
“Our experience with Martin Construction was first rate. From the planning and<br />
conceptual phase to demolition to framing and finish work, Andy and crew were<br />
very detailed, tidy, and respectful of our home and our plans to make it better. They<br />
were conscientious of any concerns or problems that came up and immediately addressed<br />
any issues we raised. Most of all, the completed work is excellent, and we<br />
love our new house! We would gladly recommend Martin Construction to anyone<br />
looking to hire a builder.” - Eric and Eve Menzel<br />

BEFORE<br />
Bea Day Plumbers, Inc. founded in 1980, is a women-owned<br />
plumbing remodeling company and the lead contractor on this<br />
project. Jane Hagedorn is the Owner and on the Remodeler’s<br />

they offer clear and honest communication with their customers.<br />
The owner of this bathroom remodel project chose to maintain<br />
the basic footprint and fixture placement for the bathroom.<br />
Plumbing and electrical systems were upgraded to comply with<br />
modern codes. Per the homeowner’s request new fixtures were<br />
chosen to be consistent with the vintage of the home. Custom<br />
cabinetry and trim was buil to match existing cabinets and trim<br />
in the home.<br />
Bea Day Plumbers utilized a team of Remodeler’s Council<br />
