Construction employment stalls as industry unemployment rate falls to 4.5 percent Construction employment edged up by 2,000 jobs between March and April as contractors scrambled to find workers in an increasingly tight labor market, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America of new government data. Association leaders urged officials in Washington to address both shortand long-term worker shortages with expanded permits for foreign-born

workers and support for career training and education to enable more workers to acquire the skills for high-paying construction careers. “The pause in employment gains last month most likely signifies a shortage of qualified workers, rather than any slowdown in demand for projects,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “In fact, job openings in construction hit an all-time high at

the end of March, while the industry’s unemployment rate was the lowest ever recorded for April.” The unemployment rate among jobseekers with construction experience tumbled from 7.7 percent in April 2021 to 4.6 percent last month, the lowest April rate since the series began in 2000.

Providence Group Capital acquires four South End parcels in Charlotte Providence Group Capital, a Charlotte based commercial real estate investment and development company, announced today that it has closed on the acquisition of four properties located at a prime intersection in South End; the corner of South Tryon Street and Remount Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. The four properties, which combined total approximately 1.75 acres, include: 2513 South Tryon Street, 2519 South Tryon Street, 2535 South Tryon Street, and 318 Remount Road. Providence Group Capital, which has now made thirteen new property investments in South End/LoSo in the last 12 months, does not currently have any specific development plans for the properties but did recently rezone the parcels to TOD-UC (CD). These properties were targeted for purchase by Providence Group Capital due to South End’s explosive residential, office, brewery, restaurant, and entertainment growth. The firm is under contract to

purchase an additional 5 properties in South End/LoSo before the end of the year. Three existing businesses; Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff, Charlotte Community Tool Bank, and Morales Tire’s Auto Shop will continue to operate on the property for some period of time before relocating to new facilities elsewhere. The sellers of the 4 parcels were represented on this transaction by Lawrence Shaw and Rob Spier of Colliers International’s Charlotte office. Providence Group Capital is a real estate investment and development firm focused on maximizing equity returns with integrity and professionalism. The firm possesses traditional ground-up and acquisition expertise but it’s deep bench of relationships with sellers, consultants and industry insiders enables it to find and procure prime assets. Once these assets are under control, the team employs extensive market knowledge, conservative underwriting, thorough

due diligence and creative vision to drive values for the benefit of its debt and equity partners. Geographically seeking both core infill and suburban assets primarily in the southeast, Providence Group Capital pursues value-add commercial and residential sites. The principals of the firm have been involved in the development of over 12 million square feet domestically and internationally representing $3.5 billion in total project development costs. Their experience in many regions allows the firm to pursue a wide range of entrepreneurial opportunities, delivering maximum results. Providence Group Capital works on multiple product types including land assemblage, multifamily, office, retail/ entertainment, adaptive reuse, and self-storage. As part of The Providence Group, we have in-house leasing and property management capabilities for all commercial projects. Staff report

Home buyers may find less competition near city centers for the first time in years For the first time since the Great Recession, buyers may have an easier time buying a home in the city than in nearby suburbs this home shopping season. That’s because homes in the suburbs recently have been appreciating faster than urban homes, a new Zillow® analysis shows, indicating stronger demand and fiercer competition. While competition is strong in most of the country, there are pockets of opportunity for home buyers. Home values in suburban ZIP codes have been growing faster than those in urban areas since July 2021. The typical home in the suburbs gained $66,490 in value in the past year, compared to $61,671 for the typical urban home. That is a reversal from previous norms and from the first 15 months of the pandemic. From January 2013 — about the time when home values began to recover following the housing crash — through June 2021, urban homes were generally gaining value more quickly. “In the beginning of the pandemic, home values in urban areas generally

outpaced suburban areas, counter to what many expected during the rush for more space,” said Zillow economist Nicole Bachaud. “And while urban home value gains have continued to accelerate, the suburbs are even hotter, showing just how strong demand is for limited suburban inventory. That could mean competition for homes will be lighter near city centers this home shopping season, something we haven’t been able to say for nearly a decade. That’s not to say shopping for a home in the city will be a leisurely affair, but any sliver of opportunity for buyers is welcome in this market.” Faster home value growth in the suburbs comes as remote work has changed the U.S. housing landscape. Research from the National Bureau of Economic Research found the shift to remote work is responsible for more than half of the gain in U.S. home prices since late 2019, and that the evolution of remote work is likely to have a major impact on the future path of home values.

To be sure, urban real estate has seen incredible growth, as well. This is not a case of housing in the suburbs gaining value at the expense of urban real estate; rather, it’s something akin to one world-class sprinter edging out another. And there are signs that demand may be shifting back in favor of urban homes. In each of the first three months of this year, the gap between annual home value growth in the suburbs and in urban areas has shrunk. Annual suburban home value growth outpaced urban home value growth by about $7,250 in December, but only by about $4,820 in March. The shift has been more pronounced in a few metro areas where suburban home values grew especially fast compared to urban home values in 2021: San Francisco, Columbus, Seattle and Boston. This may reflect home buyers reacting to employers’ return-to-office plans, realizing that the cost savings of a move to the suburbs are not as big as they once were, or sensing that competition may not be as stiff for homes

in urban parts of the metro. Nashville and Raleigh are two notable counterexamples. In both metros, urban home values rose more than those in the suburbs in 2021. However, after the first three months of 2022, those positions have been reversed. In the year ending March 2022, the typical suburban home in Nashville gained $7,350 more than the typical urban home, and in Raleigh, the typical suburban home gained about $9,800 more. This could signal a shift in demand in these markets, with home shoppers searching for more-affordable options in the suburbs, especially as mortgage rates keep rising. In today’s hot sellers market, buyers should consider Zillow’s tips to win a competitive bid. Hiring the right local agent and embracing new real estate technology for a speed advantage can help during the home search. Securing mortgage pre-approval and using strategies such as submitting an offer before the offer review date can help an offer stand out. Staff report

Dream home must haves: new AIM research gets answers straight from the consumer

Accountability Information Management, Inc. (AIM), recently published a new report, “The Dream Home – What Consumers Really Want.” The AIM research looked squarely at what consumers HAVE in a home and what they WANT in a home (the research involved almost 400 consumers living in all manner of homes from all types of income levels). “Just considering all the design possibilities is daunting and can seem quite impossible to determine which home features today’s home owners want most,” says Patty Fleider, Lead Researcher for AIM. “And while there will inevitably be other many different preference choices, it only makes sense then, to identify the trends by speaking directly with home owners. “ Conducted in December 2021, AIM focused on those two parameters: what homeowners currently own, and what they would like in their dream home. AIM asked consumers the importance of over 50 different aspects of a home. That unique point of view produced significant insights in terms of the “rooms” of a home beyond the kitchen and bath – rooms that designers and builders may see as differentiation points in their marketing. While kitchens and baths will always be important to home owners, there are other rooms in the home that are becoming more important too. The other rooms and how they are folded into your designs will impact consumer satisfaction. “With so many professionals involved in designing and building a home, knowing which aspects are important to buyers is crucial to give designers an edge,” explains Fleider. “What we are suggesting is that builders have to continuously keep up with trends or they get passed up for other alternatives.” For example, the 2021 edition of “What Home Buyers Really Want” is a comprehensive study from the NAHB. Interestingly, the NAHB research and AIM’s research produced the exact same result in terms of which room is becoming most important to consumers: the laundry room! Any research done in the market today can result in different findings. There are, therefore, differences between AIM’s report and the NAHB’s. But those differences, represent opportunities for designers and builders. Two examples of these differences include: • The NAHB study stated, “over 45 percent are unlikely to buy a home if it comes with a wine cellar (48 percent),” while in the AIM study, 588% more consumers wanted such a room in their home! In the AIM report, a wine cellar is “redefined” and showed what it could be. • The NAHB study noted, “The preference for multi-generational housing is much more pronounced among minorities,” but the AIM study found no

such differentiation. In the AIM study, 243% MORE people wanted multigeneration rooms in their homes. It did not matter about the size of home because more people are living together. Staff report

U.S. Foreclosure activity in April 2022 declines slightly ATTOM has released its April 2022 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 30,674 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — down 8 percent from a month ago but up 160 percent from a year ago.

Nationwide one in every 4,580 housing units had a foreclosure filing in April 2022. States with the highest foreclosure rates were Illinois (one in every 2,241 housing units with a foreclosure filing); New Jersey (one in every 2,292 housing units); Ohio (one in every 2,585 housing units); Indiana (one in every 2,660 housing units); and Nevada (one in every 3,043 housing units). Among the 223 metropolitan statistical areas with a population of at least 200,000, those with the highest foreclosure rates in April 2022 were Greeley, CO (one in every 1,237 housing units with a foreclosure filing); Cleveland, OH (one in every 1,326 housing units); Elkhart, IN (one in every 1,531 housing units); Fayetteville, NC (one in every 1,639 housing units); and Chicago, IL (one in every 1,851 housing units). Those metropolitan areas with a population greater than 1 million, with the worst foreclosure rates in April 2022, aside from Cleveland, OH and Chicago, IL were: Philadelphia, PA (one in every 2,196

housing units); Indianapolis, IN (one in every 2,268 housing units); and Riverside, CA (one in every 2,366 housing units). Lenders started the foreclosure process on 22,286 U.S. properties in April 2022, just down slightly from 22,360 last month but up 251 percent from a year ago. Counter to the national trend, states that had at least 100 foreclosure starts in April 2022 and saw the greatest monthly increases in foreclosure starts included: Massachusetts (up 133 percent); Colorado (up 95 percent); Minnesota (up 59 percent); Indiana (up 39 percent); and Washington (up 24 percent). In looking more granular, those counties that had the greatest number of foreclosure starts in April 2022 included: Cook County, IL (759 foreclosure starts); Los Angeles County, CA (652 foreclosure

starts); Harris County, TX (429 foreclosure starts); Maricopa County, AZ ( 331 foreclosure starts); and Philadelphia, PA (277 foreclosure starts). “The extreme difference between foreclosure starts and foreclosure completions in April might be the beginning of a trend,” said Rick Sharga, executive Vice President of market intelligence for ATTOM. “Record levels of homeowner equity should provide financially distressed homeowners the opportunity to sell their homes prior to a foreclosure auction, meaning we should continue to see fewer foreclosure completions. While it may take several months to determine if this is actually what’s happening, it seems like a real possibility in today’s low supply/high demand housing market.” Lenders repossessed 2,830 U.S. properties through completed foreclosures (REOs) in April 2022, down 36 percent from last month but up 82 percent from last year. Those states that had the greatest

number of REOs in April 2022, included: Illinois (417 REOs); Pennsylvania (266 REOs); Michigan (187 REOs); Ohio (150 REOs); and California (148 REOs). Those major metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with a population greater than 1 million that saw the greatest number of REOs in April 2022 included: Chicago, IL (347 REOs); Philadelphia, PA (149 REOs); New York, NY (128 REOs); Detroit, MI (64 REOs); and St. Louis, MO (53 REOs).

Workers say they are better off than two years ago Two years since COVID was declared a pandemic, employees say work and family are the areas of life that have shown the most change for the better. Despite the devastation and tragedy many have suffered over the course of the pandemic, remote and flexible work options have brought benefits to families. Sixty-eight percent of employees say they have grown closer to family members over the past two years, and 89% of remote workers with kids say their kids are happier when they are working from home, according to new research from Qualtrics (Nasdaq: XM). See full study results here. Even pets have seen life improve. Nearly all (95%) of remote workers with pets say their pets are happier when they are working from home. Employees are better off when it comes to work as well, with flexible work, remote work and hybrid work being the most favorable changes. Nearly half (43%) of U.S. employees say their worklife balance is better now than it was prepandemic. Employees also report better job satisfaction, career progress, finances and overall happiness. Mental health, however, is the one area where employees are split — 31% say they are better off and 31% say they are worse off than they were two years ago. As employee needs and priorities have shifted during the pandemic, nearly half (47%) have changed jobs, including 15% who changed industries in the past two years. The top reasons employees gave for seeking a new job were: they wanted a more flexible schedule (16%), they wanted more growth opportunities (14%) and they wanted to work remotely (11.5%). All of these reasons beat out higher pay (10.5%). “It’s clear that the past two years have brought lasting change to work-life for American employees,” said head of employee experience advisory services at Qualtrics, Benjamin Granger, Ph.D. “As we enter a new phase of COVID, where measures like remote work and social distancing may become optional, it’s time for us to take stock of what we’ve learned so we can be intentional about what changes from the pandemic are worth keeping and which should be discarded. It’s critical that leaders don’t forget how flexibility and new ways of working have made life better for employees.” Staff report

ENNICO: Protecting your online business with exclusive agreements “I buy a fashion accessory at the full retail price, directly from the manufacturer’s own retail store, and then resell it on Amazon and eBay where, believe it or not, I make money. The only official way to get this product as ‘new’ in the United States is through the manufacturer. They know exactly what I am doing, as this is not a product a customer orders hundreds of at a time every two weeks. In fact, on their Facebook page, when they are out of stock or need shipping to Canada, they direct customers to my eBay or Amazon pages. Of course, I have asked them a million times for a volume discount, but they will not give me one. To be honest, I started selling a half-dozen of these on eBay to make some beer money, but it has grown beyond my wildest expectations, and now about one in 20 of these sold in the United States goes through my hands (judging by the order numbers I get). The money is great; it is not hard work, and I am good at it. But I’m always looking over my shoulder for either the manufacturer pulling the rug out from under me, or worse, a lawsuit by the manufacturer. Neither the manufacturer nor I make any warranties, express or implied, on this product. The manufacturer does offer the product from its own website, but my return policy is significantly better than

the manufacturer’s own (and its customer service gets awful reviews online). I know I can grow my sales easily. With a little advertising, I can direct more customers to my Amazon store. I have also considered setting up a separate e-commerce site and selling them there to avoid commissions from Amazon/eBay, but that may put me at greater risk of trouble with the manufacturer. If you could comment on what my risk is and anything I can or should do to protect myself, I would appreciate it.” Folks, if you don’t yet believe in the power and potential of retail arbitrage, please reread the above message. I wouldn’t worry too much about a lawsuit here; if the manufacturer is directing buyers to your online stores, they will have a hard time proving that your activity damaged them in any way. Your online activities have been pretty notorious, and they can’t seriously argue they didn’t know what you were doing when you are buying hundreds of items every week. Your biggest risk here, as you correctly point out, is that the manufacturer is offered a better opportunity for online distribution and cuts off your source of supply for this product, rendering you unable to sell it. What you need here is not so much a volume discount as an exclusive

distributor relationship with the manufacturer. This would guarantee you a steady source of supply and enable you to build your business with confidence, at least for a while. You would buy the product for an agreed-upon price, in agreed-upon minimum quantities and at agreed-upon times (thereby guaranteeing the manufacturer a certain volume of sales) and resell it for whatever you can get online. (Legally, the manufacturer cannot dictate your resale price.) The toughest negotiating point with the manufacturer will be the scope of your “exclusivity.” Your exclusivity could cover all online sales or only online sales to customers in North America. In either case this will force the manufacturer to cease selling the product online from its website, which it may be reluctant to do, especially if it has other merchandise. You might, however, be able to talk them into forwarding all inquiries for the product to you for processing. As for the term of the agreement, I would ask for five years, with automatic renewals. Be sure the agreement covers any new versions of this product and any complementary products the manufacturer may offer as part of the same product line. If you want to be really aggressive, you can ask the manufacturer to grant you a license to the products’ patent or other

intellectual property, which would give you the right to have it manufactured by someone else if this manufacturer decides to discontinue the product for any reason. If the manufacturer won’t agree to an exclusive distribution agreement, you might want to consider buying large quantities of the product at regular intervals of time anyway so that, as a practical matter, the manufacturer becomes dependent on your business. You are, after all, paying full retail price plus sales tax for each purchase. Your bigger long-term problem with this business is that you have become too heavily dependent on one product and one manufacturer. The safest way of managing this risk is to diversify your product offerings online to include similar merchandise that people might want to buy along with this product but that doesn’t compete directly with the manufacturer’s other product offerings -if, of course, that’s possible.

NOVAK: Ditch limiting beliefs for your best life Q: I never finished my college degree, but I did exceptionally well in everything I studied, enough to get high-paying jobs without it. I am in my late 40s; I’ve considered going back for my bachelor’s degree, but I don’t know if it will help. Not having a degree affects my confidence; I accept unacceptable behavior in the way people treat me, personally and professionally, but I don’t know how to change it. A: First, here is a brief list of people who have achieved millionaire to billionaire status without having degrees: Tony Robbins, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Mark Zuckerberg, Grant Cardone, Zhou Qunfei, Michael Dell, Evan Williams, Ted Turner, Jay-Z, Simon Cowell, John Mackey, Anna Wintour, David Murdock and Rachael Ray. Ask yourself if any of these individuals regret not having college degrees.

Degrees, whether from a top university or a bottom-rung college, do not guarantee success in the world of work. All of these people created wealth in different ways, with some starting at the bottom and working their way up in a particular industry or hitting on a business idea and carrying it through to fruition. That doesn’t mean attaining a degree is worthless, but it should not automatically connect to a person’s level of confidence. There are many unknown graduates who have not reached millionaire or billionaire status, and there are those who have but remain unknown in the public’s eye. Confidence, according to Dictionary. com, is “1. full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing, and 2. belief in oneself and one’s powers or abilities, and 3. certitude, assurance.” The lack of confidence or low self-esteem can often be traced to

an unhappy childhood where parents or significant others, including childhood peers, were extremely critical in their treatment of the child. Once you stop blaming your lack of confidence on not having a degree, reflect on why your ability to forge ahead and become successful in business has not given you the confidence you need. Many people with and without college degrees would not have made it as far as you have, to maintain a high-paying job in an area where you are self-taught. It takes bravery to dig into one’s childhood, especially a painful one, to recount experiences that might contribute to the tearing down of your confidence. As talk therapy relies on one’s trust and ability to talk about and relive the past, it’s important to connect with a therapist you feel most comfortable with who also has insight and experience working with

clients with similar problems. One drawback in the therapeutic process is when you rely on a therapist who no longer helps you reach your goals for your visits. Make sure you are moving forward in your goals, which you can decide weekly as you see changes in your confidence levels. If the process turns into a habit without progress, it may be time for an evaluation break. Patients can develop a sense of loyalty and fear changing therapists, so it is important to stay in touch with your reason for being there -- you are there for you, not for the therapist.

CONSTRUCTION FROM PAGE 1

residential construction rose by 3,800 workers, including 2,500 employed by homebuilders and multifamily general contractors and 1,300 at residential specialty trade contractors. Employment dipped by 2,000 at nonresidential construction firms, the first decline in eight months. The losses were limited to nonresidential specialty trade contractors, which shed 6,400 employees. General building contractors added 3,900 workers, while heavy and civil engineering construction firms added 500 employees.

Association officials said demand for construction workers remains strong and will grow further as funds are awarded from the recently enacted Bipartisan Infrastructure law. To meet that demand, they called for an immediate expansion of work permits for foreign-born workers. To ensure more Americans have the skills for highpaying careers in construction, officials called on Congress and the Biden administration to add funding for career and technical education and to support a wider range of apprenticeship and

training opportunities. “With an overall unemployment rate approaching all-time lows, it is clear that employers in general--and construction firms in particular--need more foreignborn workers immediately,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “It is also vital to provide more opportunities for American students and workers to gain construction skills through a range of career education, training, and apprenticeship programs.” Staff report

workers fell by 304,000 or 40 percent to 464,000, a 22-year low for April. There were 415,000 constructionindustry job openings at the end of March, a jump of 69,000 or 20 percent from March 2021. That was the largest total for any month since that series began in 2000, Simonson noted, citing government data released on Wednesday.

Stocks fall sharply as Target’s woes renew inflation fears BY DAMIAN J. TROISE AND ALEX VEIGA AP BUSINESS WRITERS ‘NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank more than 1,100 points Wednesday, as big earnings misses by Target and other major retailers stoked investors’ fears that surging inflation could cut deeply into corporate profits. The broad sell-off erased gains from a solid rally a day earlier, the latest volatile day-to-day swing for stocks in recent weeks amid a deepening market slump. The S&P 500 fell 4% as of 3:16 p.m. Eastern. The benchmark index is now down more than 18% from the record high it reached at the beginning of the year. That’s shy of the 20% decline that’s considered a bear market. The Dow was down 1,143 points, or 3.5%, at 31,502, and the Nasdaq fell 4.6%. “A lot of people are trying to guess the bottom,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA. “Bottoms occur when there’s nobody left to sell.”

Retailers were among the biggest decliners after Target plunged following a grim quarterly earnings report. Target lost a quarter of its value after reporting earnings that fell far short of analysts’ forecasts. In a sign of the impact of inflation, particularly on shipping costs, Target said its operating margin for the first quarter was 5.3%. It had been expecting 8% or higher. The company also said consumers returned to more normal spending habits, switching away from TVs and appliances and buying more toys and travel-related items. The report comes a day after Walmart said its profit took a hit from higher costs. The nation’s largest retailer fell 7.2%, adding to its losses from Tuesday. The weak reports stoked concerns that persistently rising inflation is putting a tighter squeeze on a wide range of businesses and could cut deeper into their profits. Retailers had some of the biggest losses. Dollar Tree fell 15.4% and Dollar General slumped 11.8%. Best Buy fell 11.6% and Amazon fell 7%. Technology stocks, which led the

market rally a day earlier, were the biggest drag on the S&P 500. Apple lost 5.9%. All told, more than 95% of stocks in the S&P 500 were down. Utilities also weighed down the index, though not nearly as much as the other 10 sectors, as investors shifted money to investments that are considered less risky. Bond yields fell as investors shifted money into lower-risk investments. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.89% from 2.97% late Tuesday. The disappointing report from Target comes a day after the market cheered an encouraging report from the Commerce Department that showed retail sales rose in April, driven by higher sales of cars, electronics, and more spending at restaurants. Stocks have been struggling to pull out of a slump over the last six weeks as concerns pile up for investors. Trading has been choppy on a daily basis and any data on retailers and consumers is being closely monitored by investors as they try to determine the impact from inflation and whether it will prompt a slowdown

in spending. A bigger-than-expected hit to spending could signal more sluggish economic growth ahead. The Federal Reserve is trying to temper the impact from the highest inflation in four decades by raising interest rates. On Tuesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell told a Wall Street Journal conference that the U.S. central bank will “have to consider moving more aggressively” if inflation fails to ease after earlier rate hikes. Investors are concerned that the central bank could cause a recession if it raises rates too high or too quickly. Worries persist about global growth as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine puts even more pressure on prices for oil and food while lockdowns in China to stem COVID-19 cases worsens supply chain problems. The United Nations is significantly lowering its forecast for global economic growth this year from 4% to 3.1%. The downgrade is broad-based, which includes the world’s largest economies such as the U.S., China and the European Union. ___ Veiga reported from Los Angeles.
