Housing market expected to stay healthy As Coronavirus affects other segments of economy real estate may be one sector that brings hope
Housing has long been known as making up 15% of the economy but its importance may be more fundamental than that. www.marketwatch.com
As the COVID-19 spreads and the patient count and death toll grow, economists are slashing their once-rosy expectations for global growth in 2020. But amid the anxiety, there’s one bright spot in the U.S. that is likely to be immune from the virus fallout. Analysts say the housing market isn’t just domestic in nature. It will also be buoyed by exceptionally cheap borrowing costs, years of pent-up demand, and a residential construction sector that may have finally figured out how to efficiently produce entrylevel properties.
“Year after year, through things like the Greek debt crisis I had a theory that home buyers were going to be spooked, and they just shrugged off the news,” said Glenn Kelman, CEO of home brokerage Redfin RDFN, -4.51%. “The past few years have made a fool out of anyone predicting higher rates and challenging American exceptionalism. The U.S. economy just keeps on going strong.” Just how ferocious is demand in the housing market? On his first-quarter earnings call last week, Kelman had this to say: “A Redfin agent just told us about a bidding war with 30 other buyers in a far-flung area outside of Portland, Ore., this month. The property being fought over was a mobile home. This situation can last longer than most realize, as the law of supply and demand works slowly in real estate.” That is helping to extend what has long been a seasonal business, Kelman told MarketWatch. Anxious buyers are pushing the “spring selling season” earlier and earlier. Investors may start to get a read on that activity this week, which will bring the first housing economic releases of 2020. On Wednesday, the Commerce Department will report the number of new homes started and permits applied for in January. On Friday, the National Association of Realtors will release data on January sales of previously-owned homes, which make up about 90% of the market. Kelman isn’t the only observer who expects big things from housing this year. “It will be a tailwind” for the broader U.S.
economy, said Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics. For Zandi, the state of housing comes down to financing costs. “If we have a 30year fixed-rate mortgage at 4% or below, we should have a solid market,” he said. “If we have 3.5%, we have rip-roaring growth. North of 4%, the market will fade.” A 1.60% benchmark U.S. Treasury 10year note rate TMUBMUSD10Y, -10.88%, which was the average in the most recent week, is the sweet spot for the mortgage market, Zandi said. Kelman said that similar to other exogenous events that manage to at least momentarily surprise markets and keep yields in check, the outbreak of coronavirus may have the unintended consequence of keeping borrowing costs low. “The coronavirus is sort of a dark irony helping out housing,” Zandi told MarketWatch. “It’s keeping rates down as global investors come piling into the U.S. but it’s not hurting our economy to the point where it’s costing us jobs,” he said. Related: Yes, Brexit will help you refi Zandi and others emphasize that it’s still too soon to know anything about the true impact of the infectious disease, but as Kelman put it, the housing market won’t turn down on a dime. “Do I see any storm clouds on the horizon? I don’t. But is it going to rain? I know it will,” he told MarketWatch. And for now, Americans may be mostly oblivious about the angst swirling through financial markets. On Friday, a closely watched measure of consumer confidence
roared past economist expectations to match a near-15-year high. Only 7% of survey respondents mentioned the coronavirus in early February. It’s too early to know whether that means Americans aren’t very aware of the situation - or that they are brushing it off. Still, as Kelman put it, the decision to buy a home is the most “macro-sensitive” purchase there is. Americans can put off clothing purchases or dine in rather than visit restaurants, but they know once they buy a home, they are making a 30-year commitment — and yet are still out in force touring open houses. Builders may also finally start to make a solid contribution to economic growth: Zandi thinks this could be the first year in a decade in which analysts underestimate the pace of residential construction rather than overestimate it. It’s taken a while, but builders have finally figured out how to make their costs pencil out at lower home purchase points, Zandi noted. Homeowners are also renovating and redecorating. In the government’s January retail sales data, one of the bright spots was home centers: stores like Home Depot Inc. HD, -5.13% and Lowe’s Cos. LOW, 4.05% (Both home-improvement retailers will report fourth-quarter earnings during the last week of February.)

Edgar Garcia President El Paso Association of Builders
Hello my builder’s and associates. First of all I will like to thank all the members of the Association for allowing me to represent this great association. Two months have already passed, and time is just flying by. I already have had two board and one general meeting under my belt. Since the beginning of the year the executive board has been extremely busy meeting with city and county officials. Am I glad to report at this time, that we have established great relationship with our community leaders. Our membership has increased by 10% in the last months and growing. The economy is doing very well and everyone seems to be busy with work. Texas Association of Builders recently had their board meeting here in El Paso. Ray can’t remember when was the last time they had board meeting here in El Paso. Everyone that came to the meeting was impressed with our city and especially our hospitality. Most
of the members had never been to El Paso. Something that was discussed at the TAB meeting and was very alarming was the fact that 41% of the construction workforce will retire by 2031, also for every $1,000.00 that house price is raised you lose about 21,000 potential clients. Your association is always working hard to keep impact fee and permits as low as possible to offer affordable housing to our clients. Please get involved as much as possible with our association and together we can accomplish great things. Reach out to your executive team if you are having any issues that we may help or if you have any suggestion how we can improve. Thank you for your time and own you part of this association by increasing our membership.

Executive Vice President El Paso Association of Builders
We are busier than a cat in a sandbox goes the saying and it’s true at the association. The year is only two months old, yet our association has had a full schedule. Aside from planning things like First Home Saturday, the spring golf tournament, the Su Casa magazine, going to IBS, having board and general meetings….we also have been holding meetings with the City of El Paso and the County of El Paso, along with water board meetings and the Texas Association of Builders Executive Leadership meeting. It’s been busy and I’m so grateful to our team for being involved. President Edgar Garcia has been at everything and then some. He knew it was going to be busy, but no new president is fully prepared for the onslaught of what is expected of you. The EPAB has engaged the government agencies to make sure

that we accomplish the work for the industry and this year we’ve had some big things to work on. It started in Socorro where with the help of a great working group long range changes were passed to help the industry meet the demands for housing by partnering up with the City of Socorro. What we’ve done will have implications for generations of future homeowners and builders. Our monthly meetings with the Planning department at the City of El Paso has allowed us to tackle hard issues one on one. We have been and will continue to meet with city representatives and the mayor and city manager, all to ensure that they understand we are watching and helping them govern better. We have started a new wave of meetings with the County of El Paso and their leadership. So much work is going on and we are fortunate to
have a good working relationship with them. It can only help us all. And our relationships at the Texas Association of Builders couldn’t be better especially now that Randy Bowling is the President. He was instrumental in bringing in the TAB Leadership team for a two-day meeting, with many of those members never visiting El Paso before. I think we made some new friends for the community, maybe even some new ambassadors for us. Scott Norman who runs TAB said that even though he’s been here many times he really appreciated having us host them. Our first 60 days of 2020 have been insightful, busy, and rewarding. We hope that you see the benefits of the work your association is doing. And that you will appreciate the efforts for a better place we call home.

NationalOutlook New Home sales start strong in 2020 NAHB
Sales of newly built, single-family homes rose 7.9% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 764,000 units in January, coming off an upward revision in December, according to newly released data by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau. The monthly number is 18.6% higher than the January 2019 rate and the highest monthly sales pace since July 2007. “The January sales pace matches what builders are saying in NAHB surveys – builder confidence is strong and low interest rates have fueled single-family housing demand at the start of 2020,” said NAHB Chairman Dean Mon, a home builder and developer from Shrewsbury, N.J. “Warm weather in many parts of the
U.S. meant an early start to the home buying season,” said Jing Fu, NAHB director of forecasting and analysis. “Meanwhile, the months’ supply has fallen to 5.1, indicating additional housing inventory is needed.” A new home sale occurs when a sales contract is signed or a deposit is accepted. The home can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction or completed. In addition to adjusting for seasonal effects, the January reading of 764,000 units is the number of homes that would sell if this pace continued for the next 12 months. Inventory fell to a 5.1 months’ supply, with 324,000 new single-family homes for sale, 6.6% lower than January 2019. Of that total, just 76,000 are completed, ready to occupy. The median sales price was $348,200. The median price of a new home sale a year earlier was $305,400.
Builders urged to take action against building code proposals NAHB
Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chairwoman Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Ranking Member Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) this week introduced a comprehensive energy bill, the American Energy Innovation Act of 2020. However, there are efforts underway to incorporate costly energy building code provisions from S. 2137, The Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act, as an amendment to this bill. This amendment would expand the role of the Department of Energy in the code development process by requiring it to establish energysavings targets, which denies the code consensus bodies freedom in decision-making. This represents an unprecedented power grab by the federal government in the building code development arena. These aggressive energy efficiency requirements would also drive up the cost of housing without proportional savings in energy costs. This comes at a time when housing affordability is near a 10-year low and just six in 10 households can afford a medianpriced home. Congress must consider the true economic costs of energy-use reductions and establish a practical payback period for these investments. Otherwise, fewer families will achieve the dream of owning a home of their own. Please call or write your U.S. senators and urge them to oppose energy building codes in the comprehensive energy bill.

DESIGN WITH NATURAL GAS IN MIND. Nothing is more attractive to homebuyers than the right mix of comfort and value. You can provide both when you build homes that have natural gas. Natural gas furnaces, water heaters and clothes dryers offer greater efficiency and lower operating costs than their electric counterparts, and natural gas kitchens sell themselves. Let us help you plan for natural gas right from the start.

CHARLES B.(CHUCK) HASKINS, JR. Haskins Electric Chuck, tell the Builders Outlook a little bit about you: My Grandfather was an electrical contractor there and retired and moved to Tucson Az. My father took over his business in 1958. West Virginia was very depressed in those years and Arizona was booming and my grandfather convinced my dad that Arizona was the place to be. So, mom and dad sold everything loaded me and my three sisters in a 1960 Ford Econoline van and all off to Arizona. We made this trip in 1961 We all had the chicken pox so no place would
let us stay so we slept on the side of the road and dad cooked us meals on an old Colman stove which I use to this day. We have four great kids. One is in the business as our CFO, another son lives in San Francisco where he works while our youngest son grows marijuana in Northern California, and our daughter is a high school teacher and head varsity coach for girls’ basketball.
Where does Haskins Electric do business? How big a crew? Currently we employ about 400 people. Our main office is Phoenix with offices in Prescott, Flagstaff, and Tucson Arizona; also in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Las Cruces, New Mexico; and in El Paso, Texas. We have been very successful because of the great people that work with me and my wife.
How did you become an electrical contractor? In Phoenix dad worked for APS and a couple of contractors then hooked up with Mitchell Droz and became partners and built a great business. I grew up there and my dad started me working at the age of 6 by the time I was 15 I could estimate commercial and residential as well as do the work. However, I did not want to be an electrician and went off and trained racehorses for about five years. We had a couple of kids and decided the racetrack was no place to raise kids. So, I called dad and his partner and went back to work with them in 1984. My dad and his partner decided to go their separate ways in 1989 so dad and I started Haskins Electric in 1990 but he and my mother decided to retire in 1995 so my wife and I bought them out. Met my wife in 1988 we dated three years and got married in 1991. When my parents retired my wife came in to run the office and we wouldn’t be where we are today without her. We make a great team.
Why did you join the association, and would you recommend it to others? We joined the El Paso Association of Builders because we are members in other states and towns. We felt it was a great place to meet builders and connect with the community. The association has been great for our business because of meeting builders and all the good things the association does for our industry and the community, and this is important to my wife and I. Not to mention that everyone in the organization are great wonderful people and all have helped us in so many ways to be successful and be part of the community. I have said this before that this is the best association we belong to. My wife and I now own a home in El Paso, so we have a great place to stay when we are there.
Did you always want to work as an electrical contractor or what? I always wanted to be a farmer.

EventOutlook Association unites to help ‘Sandals of Faith’ The Community Outreach committee from the EPAB gathered items from our members to give to the homeless population in the downtown area. The members contributed clothing, blankets, socks, hygienic items, bags, shoes, and other items that the homeless can use. The event is coordinated with the Sandals of Faith ministry at St. Pius but is a nondomination community activity for the Association. Chairman Angelique Roman was once again very thankful for the contributions made by the members. “I know that we have a lot going on in our lives but the overwhelming contributions of materials for us to hand out is heartwarming,” she told the Outlook. “I want to thank our association member companies for acting as collection points as well which makes it convenient for the collection,” Roman said. Laura and Gus Loy head brought the need to the association and they do the collecting and distribution along with volunteers from St. Pius. “I want to say thank you to all of our members who gave and especially those who joined us to distribute,” Laura told us. “The need is
very real in our community and we are just so overwhelmed with how the Builders Association has responded,” she said. The homeless get something to eat as well as things like soap, shampoo, lotion, deodorant, and clothing. There are special items for the women as well as sometimes they are forgotten. Several of the folks told us how thankful they are for the help. “We just want you to know we appreciate you thinking of us,” one man told us. “It really does make a difference for us.” Collection is going on for the next
outing. You are invited to give as well as to help in the distribution. “It was so fulfilling to be here and help those less fortunate,” said President Edgar Garcia as he helped with food and donations. “I am grateful that my grandson Matt joined us in the event, really taking time to help us,” said a proud grandma Margaret Adauto. We will be announcing our next Sandals giving day soon.

EventsOutlook El Paso hosts TAB Leadership
The El Paso Association of Builders partnered to bring the Texas Association of Builder Executive Leadership team to El Paso for the first time in over 20 years. The conference was a quarterly meeting with council chairs and committee chairpersons to look at the current status of TAB and to vote on items required by the bylaws. Scott Norman, Executive Vice President of the state association welcomed the opportunity to come to El Paso. “ I’m surprised and pleased that we were able to introduce many of our executive team to El Paso, something that in my 17 years at TAB we’ve never done,” he told the Outlook. Randy Bowling, TAB 2020 President was encouraged by the comments made to him during the visit. “I can tell you that anytime we can promote our wonderful city and all we have to offer I’m going to do that,” he said. “I want to let everyone know that we are open for business and hope to have the members go out to their communities and tell people about El Paso,” Bowling said. The three-day event required the leadership to travel from all points in Texas. The comments were all the same, all good, and with some interesting surprises. “We only have seen what the news says, and this trip has convinced us that El Paso is unique but in a Texas way,” said one out of towner. “We knew you were on the border, just didn’t realize you were literally on the border,” said Debra Guerrero of San Antonio, a first-time visitor. She left with a new appreciation for El Paso and suggested that as a member of other organizations in and around San Antonio she would be telling them to come and visit. “I had no idea what a gem this place is, the history, the culture, the people,” she continued. The team did a bus tour of the area including going along the border highway, seeing the Luchese boot factory store, and traveling through Trans Mountain. UTEP was featured as well after a sunset dinner at the Coronado Country Club. “I think that we showcased El Paso pretty well, and now we have some new ambassadors to talk good about us,” Bowling said. The meeting normally for only the leadership included EPAB President Edgar Garcia and VP Sal Masoud along with Ray Adauto who was the tour guide for the bus trip. Local members Stewart Title, HUB International joined StrucSure Home Warranty and Builder Agent Network and Morrison Supply as partners.

MarketOutlook El Paso Builder Market Breakdown By the El Paso Association of Builders Market Intelligence Committee
Here is a collection of key housing market indicators gathered from industry expert sources. The El Paso Builders Association also puts out a monthly Builder Member Exclusive report detailing new home sales Trevor Turner, numbers that are not available through the MLS or Market Intellegence Chair any other research organization. If you would like to access to a detailed proprietary information be sure to join the El Paso Association of Builders to gain access to this EPAB exclusive market data.
Land Development Council Report Rainwater requires careful planning for how and where it flows, ponds, and ultimately winds up. As the City of El Paso grows and develops, it creates impervious surfaces, which do Sal Masoud, not allow rainfall to drain Land Devlopment Chair naturally and percolate into the ground. Building roofs, driveways, concrete slabs, and asphalt parking lots etc., creates an impediment for storm water to soak back into the earth's surface as nature intended, becoming developed runoff. This is crucial for not only plants and wildlife to live, but also for drinking water. Some of our drinking water comes from underground formations called aquifers that we cannot afford to squander. This creates a safety issue as it causes communities to be more susceptible to flash flooding. We live in a desert climate of potential drought, but when it rains, it really pours. Rainstorms can
By Sal Masoud
generate six inches of water on a street in a couple of hours, which is enough to knock adults off their feet. The accumulation of water can cause flash floods, which can carry mud, trash, and debris reaching critical speeds quickly. When the City reviews and issues grading and drainage permits, we are being responsible for ensuring that the City’s infrastructure functions properly for generations to come. Our main objectives are to provide for the safety of the residents and welfare of their property too through welldesigned drainage infrastructure by complying with City regulations. Great News! The City of El Paso currently participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)/ Community Rating System (CRS) certification, which is run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) This helps to keep our residents safe from flooding damage and to provide this community with more affordable flood insurance premiums.
The Planning & Inspections, Land Development Department is providing to the public all requested information about the effective flood zones, flood determination letters, answering flood inquiries, reviewing and certifying CLOMR (Conditional Letter of Map Revision), reviewing and certifying LOMR (Letter of Map Revision) and LOMA (Letter of Map Amendment), and updating the public with the latest FEMA regulations and requirements Through City’s efforts in stormwater infrastructure improvements, over a thousand properties in the East side Pico Norte (District 3) area, and approximately six thousand properties in the North East (Districts 2 & 4) are now mapped by FEMA as being outside of high risk flood zones and safer from flood waters.
