Home construction tumbles 8.2 percent in December Builders face pressure from land prices, immigrant workforce Josh Boak Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Groundbreakings on new homes fell 8.2 percent in December, with builders ending 2017 by slowing down their construction of single-family houses. The Commerce Department said Thursday that the monthly decline put housing starts at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.19 million units. Almost all of the decrease came from builders beginning work on fewer singlefamily houses, a reversal from the robust gains reported in October and November. Despite the monthly decline, housing

starts in 2017 were their strongest in a decade. But the ramp-up in construction has done little to offset the dwindling pool of homes for sale, which has caused prices to surge faster than wage growth. The hot housing market is being fueled by a strengthening job market. The unemployment rate is holding steady at a 17-year low of 4.1 percent. Workers are feeling more conÿdent as the Labor Department said separately on Thursday that the number of unemployed workers ÿling for jobless beneÿts, a proxy for layoffs, plunged by 4 1,000 last week to 220,000. That is the lowest level for beneÿt applications in nearly 45 years. Yet homebuilders face pressures from high land prices and a construction workforce that relies heavily on immigration at a time when President Donald Trump is seeking to limit the in‘o w of foreigners into the United States. “The pace of housing starts averaged just

1.2 million for the year, far short of the historical average of 1.5 million starts,” said Nela Richardson, chief economist at the real estate company Redÿn. “Given the three-year drought in inventory and surging homebuyer demand, a pace of 2 to 3 million starts would be reasonable and appropriate.” For all of 2017, housing starts have risen a mere 2.4 percent. Single-family house construction drove the entire annual increase, while the building of apartment complexes plunged last year as more renters appear to be seeking properties to buy. The slight gains in construction have been unable to fully offset the drastic fall over the past year in the number of existing homes put up for sale. Housing starts in December fell in the Northeast, Midwest, South and West. Building permits, an indicator of future construction, slipped 0.1 percent in December to 1.3 million.

Higher loan limits make homebuying easier Catherine Reagor Columnist Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

Thanks to a little boost from mortgage lenders this month, 2018 could be the year all those Street Scout and Zillow couch surfers ÿnally pull the trigger on their dream home. Rising metro Phoenix home prices are making it harder for many buyers. But this month, government mortgage backers began o“ ering a little extra help. The Federal Housing Administration, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have raised the loan limits for mortgages. Almost 64 percent of all Phoenixarea homebuyers used one of those loans to buy in 2017, so the higher limits are bound to give the market a boost. Homebuyers can now borrow up to $453,100 using Fannie and Freddie mortgages. That’s up $29,000 from last year. Almost half of Valley homebuyers took out a loan backed by one of those two federally-owned mortgage giants last year, according to The Information Market, owned by the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service. The loan limits on Federal Housing Administration loans climbed to $294,515 from $279,4 50 at the beginning of the year. More than 15 percent of Phoenix-area homebuyers took out Federal Housing Administration loans in 2017. Most mortgage brokers and real estate agents are cheering the loan increases. Limits on federally-backed mortgages went up in most parts of the U.S. “The loan limit increase is a small but necessary drop in the bucket of necessary moves that will continue to help the Phoenix housing market grow,” said Amy Swaney, branch manager of Citywide Home Loans in Scottsdale. And she said the changes will not only help ÿrst-time buyers but also move-up buyers. The Valley’s median home price is about $250,000, up about 6 percent from last year. Move-up homes in the area are typically priced at about $500,000. So with the new Fannie and Freddie loan limits, a buyer could now purchase an almost half-million dollar home with a 10 percent down payment. Government-backed mortgages are popular with lenders because they carry less risk and usually mean lower inter-

est rates for borrowers. And it sounds like the boost is paying o“ already. “I’ve been surprised by how many new loans we have seen since the limits were increased this month,” said Dean Wegner of the Scottsdale o‘ce of HomeStreet Bank. “I think the higher limits helped with some pent-up demand from buyers.” Since the too-easy-to-get subprime mortgages that spurred the housing crash, any changes to make getting a mortgage easier raises alarm bells with some real estate market watchers — including me. I’m watching closely for any signs that could spark another housing crash.

Thanks to a little boost from mortgage lenders this month, 2018 could be the year all those Street Scout and Zillow couch surfers ÿnally pull the trigger on their dream home. But this is only the second time since the crash in 2008 that federal loan limits have been increased. The ÿrst was in 2016. And metro Phoenix home prices have nearly doubled since the crash. Many of us bought our ÿrst homes

with a Federal Housing Administration loan, which we couldn’t have done if the limits were too low. We’ll see if the same proves true for the next generation of new home buyers and maybe even more Lindsays and Dylans will sign the dotted line on their ÿrst house.

Can a landlord sue a former tenant for defamatory statements? Christopher Combs Guest Columnist

GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

Question: We own a rental home in Gilbert. We had a tenant who was like the crazy tenant that Michael Keaton played in the movie “Paciÿc Heights.” We were ÿnally able two months ago to evict this tenant, who promptly posted defamatory statements on Yelp.com and other websites about both us and the rental home. We have been unable to rent the home, and two prospective tenants that were

interested changed their minds for no reason. Is there anything that we can do? Answer: Yes. Your former tenant can be liable to you for damages because of untruthful and defamatory online statements that a“ ect your ability to rent the home. In a 2013 California case a former tenant made false statements that unsanitary conditions at the apartment complex had caused the death of three tenants. The former tenant was found liable to the owner of the apartment complex for damages resulting from these false statements by the tenant in an online review similar to Yelp.com.

W e invite you to be our guest for lunch

and a tour of our friendly Village.
