The prices listed below provide an overview of the behaviors within the U.S. framing lumber pricing market. The information is sourced each week using the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite, which is comprised using prices from the highest volumeproducing regions of the U.S. and Canada. Information provided by Random Lengths.

Builder confidence in the market for newlybuilt single-family homes jumped seven points to a level of 70 on the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI). This is the highest reading since July 2005.

Lumber prices are steady to higher than the five week average at this point. Plywood and OSB sheeting are higher than the 5 week average with some increasing by as much as 10%. As the national single family starts keeps increasing we will likely continue to see a steady to strong market.

Federal Judge Blocks Overtime Rule In a victory for NAHB, a federal judge in Texas on Nov. 22 granted a preliminary injunction to delay implementation of the Department of Labor’s new overtime rule. The rule, which was scheduled to take effect Dec. 1, would double the minimum salary limit from $23,660 to $47,476.

NAHB joined other business groups in filing a legal challenge to the overtime rule on Sept. 20. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. In addition, 21 states have also filed suit challenging the rule and the two lawsuits have been consolidated. The parties have filed motions for a summary judgment.

While the injunction is only temporary, the ruling by Judge Amos Mazzant sent a strong signal that he could likely side with NAHB and our business coalition. “The State Plaintiffs have shown a likelihood of success on the merits because the Final Rule exceeds the Department’s authority,” Mazzant wrote in his opinion.

Working with House and Senate lawmakers and members of our business coalition, the Partnership to Protect Workplace Opportunity, NAHB has been leading the effort to mitigate the effects of the overtime rule. In addition to the lawsuit, the association is asking Congress to phase-in the new salary requirements, as well as provide permanent relief from the rule’s provision to automatically update the salary threshold every three years. As NAHB keeps working toward permanent relief, the association will continue to provide members with the tools they need to comply with the new overtime requirements in the event that the court rules against NAHB, our business coalition and the 21 state attorneys general.

Fed Raises Interest Rates For just the second time since the Great Recession, the Federal Reserve increased its target for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points. While still low, the rate increase continues the path toward higher interest rates and a normalized monetary policy after years of stimulative policy designed to support an economic recovery. The current outlook is for three additional rate hikes in 2017. Economic growth remains modest, though the pace could increase with a fiscal stimulus in the form of deficit-financed tax cuts or government spending increases as the Trump administration takes office.

The move by the Fed is consistent with recent labor market data, which reveal tight employment conditions. The unemployment rate declined to 4.6% in November, as 178,000 jobs were created during the month, of which 19,600 positions were in the home building and remodeling sector. Over 120,000 jobs have been created in residential construction within the last year. While solid employment figures are good news for housing demand, ongoing labor constraints are an inflation risk and a motivation for the Fed to continue raising rates in 2017.

–NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz

2017 Color of the Year Greenery is symbolic of new beginnings.

Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew.

Illustrative of flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and reinvigorate.

Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life, the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty and inherent unity of the natural world. This shift is reflected by the proliferation of all things expressive of Greenery in daily lives through urban planning, architecture, lifestyle and design choices globally. A constant on the periphery, Greenery is now being pulled to the forefront - it is an omnipresent hue around the world.

A life-affirming shade, Greenery is also emblematic of the pursuit of

personal passions and vitality.

What is the PANTONE Color of the Year?

A symbolic color selection; a color snapshot of what we see taking place in our global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.

NAHB Challenges Flawed WOTUS Rule NAHB and its industry partners presented their first brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit that challenges the Waters of the U.S. rule in November.

“The Sixth Circuit issued a nationwide stay of the Waters of the U.S. rule because it is deeply flawed, arbitrarily written, and provides no clarity or certainty to members of the regulated community,” said NAHB Chairman Ed Brady in a press statement. “The brief hammered home those points and several others: The water rule does not conform to Congress’s intent or Supreme Court precedent and is not supported by scientific evidence. Further, the EPA deprived the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment on critical aspects of the rule and the agency violated the law by conducting grassroots lobbying.

“Meanwhile, two reports from Congress, one released just last week, corroborate these facts and highlight that the rule was politically motivated and based on flawed scientific analysis. While there is a high likelihood that the EPA’s water rule is illegal, builders face an increasing backlog in obtaining federal permits. In turn, these bureaucratic delays increase project costs and harm housing affordability. “It could be more than a year before we get a final decision. Therefore, Congress must act now to prevent this rule from moving forward,” Brady said.

NDAB NEWS Monthly News from the North Dakota Association of Builders - January 2017

Happy New Year!

Time to Come Together

Hello fellow Happy New Year! It is hard to believe 2016 is behind us already Many of you will probably be reading this around the time of IBS. I hope to see many of you there.

I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and reflect on where we have been Eric Brenden and look forward to 2017. My name is Eric 2017 NDAB President Brenden. I have worked at Northwest Contracting in Bismarck since 1998. My wife, Tara, has been teaching Math at Bismarck High for the past 10 ½ years. We have three children, ranging in age from 13 to 3.

I would like to thank our past president Arnold Karsky for his service this past year. It has been a privilege working with Arnold, and I know that he will continue to be involved in the Association for years to come. I would also like to thank all of the committee members and the board of directors.

Many of them have spent countless hours working behind the scenes on behalf of the Association. Finally, I would like to thank our outgoing directors for the work they have done the last several years for NDAB. As I mentioned at the annual banquet, the mission of the ND Association of builders is to represent the professional building industry through legislation, information, and education. This year is a legislative year, and I believe that one of the most valuable member benefits are the efforts of the local, state, and national associations to promote builder friendly legislation. There are many examples of legislation that NDAB has promoted in the past that have helped keep housing more affordable. One specific example was the fire sprinkler legislation from a few years ago. North Dakota became the first state in the nation to prevent fire sprinkler codes from being mandated in the state building code for single family homes and duplexes. Since that time, several states have passed similar laws that have been modeled after ours. I would encourage everyone to get involved.

One person can, and often does, make a difference.

However, the more people that we have engaged, the more our voice is heard at the Capital.

Finally, I would like to thank our membership for the opportunity to serve as your President for the upcoming year. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to working with the NDAB staff, committee members, and our board of directors in 2017.

Eric Happy New Year!

As we ring in the New Year NDAB is also excited to welcome new Board Members and members across the state! 2016 was a busy year for NDAB and we are looking forward to presenting new opportunities to our membership, visiting each of the six local associations (hope to meet you!) and continuing our strong advocacy work.

Kim Schneider NDAB Executive Officer

Last month we all came together as we teamed up with the Bismarck-Mandan HBA to host our Annual Awards Banquet in Bismarck. We had a fun night reflecting back on a successful 2016, presenting awards, swearing in our 2017 NDAB Board of Directors, reconnecting with friends and ending the night with laughter brought to us by a construction comedian. It was a great escape from the cold and snow! One important event of the night was the passing of the hammer as we gave a heartfelt thank you to our 2016 NDAB State President, Arnold Karsky. Arnold, along with his family and his business, dedicated countless hours and miles to NDAB and we feel so fortunate to have such wonderful volunteers in our organization willing to work hard for the building industry. With the outgoing of Arnold, we are proud to announce our 2017 NDAB State President, Eric Brenden. Eric and his family live in Bismarck and he has taken the opportunity to introduce himself in his article. Thank you to Eric, Tara and their children for their dedication and support through the years as Eric climbed the NDAB ladder to the position of State President. We are excited for your year ahead as our leader!

We truly value all of our Board Members and the time and dedication they put into serving on the board. We also send our heartfelt thank you to the board members families for the time away. Thank You! We are proud to announce that at our banquet we also presented four state-wide awards. Congratulations to our winners: Builder of the Year: Tom Spaeth, Accent Contracting, FM HBA Associate of the Year: Dawn Cruff, Green Team Reality, FM HBA BEAM Award: Chad Moldenhauer, K&L Homes, Bis-Man HBA Membership Award: Bryce Johnson, Fargo-Moorhead HBA January is also the month to renew your sponsorships or sign up for one!
