The BMHBA partnered with Lowe’s for a Summer Skills & Construction Camp for elementary and middle school kids in Bismarck. BMHBA Director and Landscape Designer McKenzie Lawler from Dakota OutdoorScapes visited with the kids about a career in Landscaping. Executive Officer, Dawn Watson, led a fun interactive landscaping project with the kids. We will incorporate different themes each summer with this camp and introduce kids to all areas of our building industry.

I can't believe I'm saying it, but kids are back to school and kid activities are in full swing which only can mean that the parade of homes is fast approaching. It is one of our most popular events and one I feel our community loves attending to see all the homes that are being built by our talented members. The parade will start September 29 and run through October 2; we hope to see everyone there.

Continuing education can be a struggle, but not when you’re a member. Through a partnership between Home Builders Association of Fargo Moorhead and NDAB, we offer a variety of webinars and in person classes to make the most of your time and membership dollar. NAHB expands the opportunity, providing classes online, at IBS, and through their large online store of publications, subscriptions, and digital media.
While there are a lot of reasons to become a member of your local, NDAB and NAHB, one of the reasons we don’t talk about enough are the endless member benefits that come with membership. This month, we’re going to walk through some of those advantages you have as member.Asamember of your local and state home builders’ association, you can take advantage of NAHB’s Member Savings Programs. NAHB negotiates on your behalf to offer the best pricing available with national companies.So,forinstance, whether you’re looking for a new fleet or personal vehicle, there are discounts available through Nissan and GM. Need new computers for your business? Dell Computers offers up to 40% off computers, servers, electronics & accessories. These, and other offerings, can be found at www.nahb.org/savings.
Finally, I cannot stress enough how important it is to network with your peers. While gaining ideas from each other is priceless, “doing business with a member” can save your countless dollars. The local association’s Builder After Hours, meet ups, and other events are a great way to get to know leaders in your industry. There’s no real way to put a dollar amount to what your membership in this organization is really worth but taking advantage of it is a no brainer.

Joe Vetter Construction truly is a family operated business. My mom Berna who had owned the company for over 34 years still works for me in the office and to have that amount of experience in the office to lean back on if needed is truly incredible. My favorite part of the job is making people’s thoughts and wishes come true. It is such an honor to be able to build someone their dream home. In my spare time I love to spend it with my family. I also like to travel, spend time at the lake in the summers, and go fishing with my brother and dad.
both with clients and subcontractors is a huge part in making a business run smoothly. A typical day consists of checking on my ongoing projects. Getting in touch with subcontractors that are needed for particular jobs, and meeting with both clients and vendors to make sure both quality control and timelines are met. It’s tough to imagine myself doing anything else right now, but if I wasn't building, I would probably be working in the healthcare industry. I grew up around it. With my parents owning the business through my entire childhood and having the opportunity to come back to Bismarck to work alongside them was really a special opportunity I could not pass up.

Roughly one in five (19%) home builders in the HMI survey reported reducing prices in the past month to increase sales or limit cancellations. The median price reduction was 5% for those reporting using such incentives. Meanwhile, 69% of builders reported higher interest rates as the reason behind falling housing demand, the top impact cited in the survey.
“Ongoing growth in construction costs and high mortgage rates continue to weaken market sentiment for single family home builders,” said NAHB Chairman Jerry Konter, a home builder and developer from Savannah, Ga. “And in a troubling sign that consumers are now sitting on the sidelines due to higher housing costs, the August buyer traffic number in our builder survey was 32, the lowest level since April 2014 with the exception of the spring of 2020 when the pandemic first hit.”
Tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve and persistently elevated construction costs have brought on a housing recession,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “The total volume of single family starts will post a decline in 2022, the first such decrease since 2011. However, as signs grow that the rate of inflation is near peaking, long term interest rates have stabilized, which will provide some stability for the demand side of the market in the coming months.”
“
Derived from a monthly survey that NAHB has been conducting for more than 35 years, the NAHB/Wells Fargo HMI gauges builder perceptions of current single family home sales and sales expectations for the next six months as “good,” “fair” or “poor.” The survey also asks builders to rate traffic of prospective buyers as “high to very high,” “average” or “low to very low.” Scores for each component are then used to calculate a seasonally adjusted index where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor.
All three HMI components posted declines in August and each fell to their lowest level since May 2020. Current sales conditions dropped seven points to 57, sales expectations in the next six months declined two points to 47 and traffic of prospective buyers fell five points to 32.
Builder confidence fell for the eighth straight month in August as elevated interest rates, ongoing supply chain problems and high home prices continue to exacerbate housing affordability challenges. In another sign that a declining housing market has failed to bottom out, builder confidence in the market for newly built single family homes fell six points in August to 49, marking the first time since May 2020 that the index fell below the key break even measure of 50, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) released today.
Looking at the three month moving averages for regional HMI scores, the Northeast fell nine points to 56, the Midwest dropped three points to 49, the South fell seven points to 63 and the West posted an 11 point decline to 51. HMI tables can be found at www.nahb.org/hmi

The index for shelter, which makes up more than 40% of the “core” Consumer Price Index (CPI), rose by 0.5% in July, following an increase of 0.6% in June and May. Nonetheless, it is likely that the core CPI measure of inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, has now peaked as tighter monetary policy from the Fed slows the housing market and overall economy.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported today that consumer prices eased slightly to an annual rate of 8.5% in July from a 40 year high of 9.1% in June, as declines in energy prices offset increases in food and shelter indexes. Despite this improvement, inflation remained above an 8% rate for a fifth straight month and rent increases continue to stay stubbornly high.
Meanwhile, the indexes for owners’ equivalent rent (OER how much money a property owner would have to pay in rent to be equivalent to their cost of homeownership) increased by 0.6% and rent of primary residence rose by 0.7% between June and July.
Monthly increases in OER have averaged 0.6% over the last three months. More cost increases are coming from this category, which will add to inflationary forces in the months ahead. These higher costs are driven by lack of supply and higher development costs. Higher interest rates will not slow these costs, which means the Fed’s tools are limited in addressing shelterNAHBinflation.constructs a “real” rent index to indicate whether inflation in rents is faster or slower than overall inflation. It provides insight into the supply and demand conditions for rental housing. When inflation in rents is rising faster than overall inflation, the real rent index rises. The real rent index is calculated by dividing the price index for rent by the core CPI (to exclude the volatile food and energy components).
The Real Rent Index rose by 0.4% in July. Over the first seven months of 2022, the monthly change of the Real Rent Index increased by 0.1%, on average.
