New home sales reach highest level since great recession

n a sign that the housing market is leading the economy during the coronavirus outbreak, sales of newly built, single-family homes rose to their highest level since the Great Recession, up 13.8% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 776,000 units in June, according to newly released data by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau. The June rate is 6.9% higher than the June 2019 pace. “While Wall Street may have been expecting a smaller gain, anyone following the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index would know these numbers are in line with what we are hearing from builders,” said NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke. “Builders are moving to ramp up production to meet growing demand.” “Along with rising builder sentiment, we are seeing increasing consumer demand in the sub-

urbs, exurbs and rural areas,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “At the same time, builders are dealing with supply-side concerns such as rising material costs, particularly lumber, which surpassed its 2018 price peak this week. Nonetheless, low inventory levels point to construction gains ahead.” 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 June reading of 776,000 units is the number of homes that would sell if this pace continued for the next 12 months. Inventory fell to a 4.7 months’ supply, with 307,000 new single-family homes for sale, 7% lower than June 2019. The current months’ supply is the lowest since 2016. Of the inventory total, just 69,000 are completed, ready to occupy. The median sales price was $329,200. The median price of a new home sale a year earlier was $311,800. Regionally, on a year-to-date basis new home sales were up in all four regions: 22% in the Northeast, 12.6% in the Midwest, 0.2% in the South, and 3.1% in the West. n

Permits and starts on the rise, builder confidence up

ed by solid single-family production, total housing starts increased 17.3% in June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.19 million units, according to a report from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development and Commerce Department. The June reading of 1.19 million starts is the number of housing units builders would begin if they kept this pace for the next 12 months. Within this overall number, single-family starts increased 17.2% to an 831,000 seasonally adjusted annual rate, after an upward revision from the May estimate. The multifamily sector, which includes apartment buildings and condos, increased 17.5% to a 355,000 pace. “Fueled in part by record low mortgage rates, builders are seeing solid demand for housing despite the challenges of the virus and elevated unemployment,” said NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke. “Demand is growing in lower density markets, including exurbs and small metros.” “Single-family construction is expanding off April lows due to lean inventories of new and existing homes,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “However, builders face challenges in growing costs, particularly rising prices for lumber.” On a regional and year-to-date basis, combined single-family and multifamily starts are 2.2% higher in the Midwest, 0.2% higher in the South, 2.9% higher in the West and 5.4% lower in the Northeast.

Overall permits increased 2.1% to a 1.24 million unit annualized rate in June. Single-family permits increased 11.8% to an 834,000 unit rate. Multifamily permits decreased 13.4% to a 407,000 pace. Looking at regional permit data on a year-todate basis, permits are 3.4% higher in the South, 8.8% lower in the Northeast, 2.3% lower in the Midwest and 3.9% lower in the West. Builder confidence rallies In a strong signal that the housing market is ready to lead a post-COVID economic recovery, builder confidence in the market for newly-built single-family homes jumped 14 points to 72 in July, according to the latest NAHB/ Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) released today. The HMI now stands at the solid pre-pandemic reading in March before the outbreak affected much of the nation. “Builders are seeing strong traffic and lots of interest in new construction as existing home inventory remains lean,” said Fowke. “Moreover, builders in the Northeast and the Midwest are benefiting from demand that was sidelined during lockdowns in the spring. Low interest rates are also fueling demand, and we expect housing to lead an overall economic recovery.” “While the housing market is clearly rebounding, challenges exist,” said Dietz. “Lumber prices are at a two-year high and builders are reporting rising costs for other building materi-

Remodeling industry optimistic

AHB recently released its Remodeling Market Index (RMI) for the second quarter of 2020, posting a reading of 73. This is the second quarter with a new RMI, redesigned to ease respondent burden and improve its ability to interpret and track industry trends. The new series is not seasonally adjusted, therefore index readings cannot be compared quarter to quarter. “Many remodelers are busy, even busier than prior to COVID-19. Home owners are calling for decks, patios, porches, and kitchen and bathroom jobs,” said NAHB Remodelers Chair Tom Ashley, Jr., CAPS, CGP, CGR, a remodeler from Denham Springs, La. “Their optimism for a stronger market is evident through their RMI responses.”

The new RMI survey asks remodelers to rate five facets of the remodeling market as “good,” “fair” or “poor.” Each question is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, where an index number above 50 indicates that a higher share view conditions as good rather than poor. The overall RMI is calculated by averaging the results of two components: the Current Conditions Index and the Future Indicator Index, each of which uses a similar scale from 0 to 100. The Current Conditions Index examines the current market for large remodeling projects, moderately-sized projects and small projects. The Future Indicators Index looks at the current rate at which leads and inquiries are coming in and the current backlog of re-

als while lot and skilled labor availability issues persist. Nonetheless, the important story of the changing geography of housing demand is benefiting new construction. New home demand is improving in lower density markets, including small metro areas, rural markets and large metro exurbs, as people seek out larger homes and anticipate more flexibility for telework in the years ahead. Flight to the suburbs is real.” Derived from a monthly survey that NAHB has been conducting for 30 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 the HMI indices posted gains in July. The HMI index gauging current sales conditions jumped 16 points to 79, the component measuring sales expectations in the next six months rose seven points to 75 and the measure charting traffic of prospective buyers posted a 15-point gain to 58. Looking at the monthly average regional HMI scores, the Northeast surged 22 point to 70, the Midwest jumped 18 points to 68, the South increased 10 points to 73 and the West increased 14 points to 80. HMI tables can be found at nahb.org/hmi. More information on housing statistics is also available at housingeconomics.com. n

modeling projects. In the second quarter, all components and subcomponents of the RMI were well above 50. In an effort to track quarterly trends, the redesigned RMI survey asks remodelers to compare market conditions to three months earlier, using a “better,” “about the same,” or “worse” scale. This index posted a reading of 66, indicating that market conditions have improved substantially since the first quarter. “An RMI of 73 indicates positive remodeler sentiment, and a change index of 66 indicates that business has picked up since the previous quarter as home owners focus on the importance of home for work and life amidst the pandemic,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “However, rising material prices and ongoing skilled labor access represent ongoing supply-side challenges.” n August, 2020

Employer-focused tax changes in Relief Bill

he Health, Economic Assistance, Liability Protection, and Schools (HEALS) Act introduced in the Senate recently includes four notable tax provisions, including substantial modifications to the existing Employee Retention Tax Credit. The HEALS Act is a $1 trillion Senate coronavirus relief bill introduced in response to the $3 trillion House HEROES Act legislation passed by House Democrats in May. Both parties are now negotiating a final bill. The following tax provisions in the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HEALS Act may be significantly altered or eliminated in any bipartisan compromise. Additional 2020 recovery rebates for individuals and modifications to recovery rebates made under the CARES Act The Senate Republican plan proposes a second round of $1,200 recovery rebates. This would follow the same eligibility requirements as the first round of checks, but with a notable difference in the treatment of dependents. While the first round provided an additional $500 for each child aged 16 or younger, the HEALS Act would expand the eligibility for the additional $500 to include all dependents regardless of age or income. Taxpayers who cannot be claimed by another taxpayer as a dependent and meet the same income thresholds as the first round of checks would receive another check for $1,200.

Enhanced employee hiring and retention payroll tax credit The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) was enacted as part of the CARES Act in March. It was designed as an alternative to a loan through the Payroll Protection Program (PPP). In practice, the qualification thresholds as well as the prohibition on using the ERTC if you receive a PPP loan marginalized the ERTC. The HEALS Act proposes significant structural changes to the ERTC which could open it up to wider use. Under current law, employers become eligible for the ERTC if, within a calendar quarter in 2020, the operation of their business is suspended or if the business experiences a 50% decline in gross receipts relative to the same quarter last year. The HEALS Act proposes to reduce the revenue decline trigger to 25% for the third and fourth quarters of 2020. In addition, it would allow businesses to calculate the revenue decline by comparing gross receipts to either the same quarter in 2019 or to the preceding quarter in 2020. Several changes in the Senate plan would increase the value of the credit. The ERTC would increase from 50% of eligible wages to 65%. In addition, although eligible wages for each employee would be subject to the same per-quarter maximum ($10,000), the annual cap on eligible wages would increase from $10,000 per year to $30,000 for the year.

Wages are based on full-time, W-2 employees. Another key change would allow businesses to take out a PPP loan and also claim the ERTC. Safeguards are included to prevent double dipping. The final notable change to the ERTC increases the threshold from 100 to 500 fulltime employees for the more robust wage calculation. Businesses under this threshold can include the wages of all employees. Larger businesses can only include the wages of employees who are unable to work. Temporary expansion of Work Opportunity Tax Credit The Work Opportunity Tax Credit is a federal tax credit available to employers for hiring individuals from certain targeted groups who have consistently faced significant barriers to employment. The Senate Republicans propose to add a new, temporary targeted group: 2020 COVID-19 unemployment recipients. A 2020 qualified COVID-19 unemployment recipient is an individual who is certified by the designated lead agency as having received (or is approved to receive) unemployment compensation and who begins work prior to Jan. 1, 2021. The bill would also increase the credit amount for this new group to 50% of the first $10,000 of qualified first-year wages. Safe and Healthy Workplace Tax Credit The HEALS Act would establish a refundable payroll tax credit to help employers pay for expenses incurred to protect employees from COVID-19. The proposed credit is equal to 50% of qualified expenses. Qualified expenses includes PPE, cleaning supplies, qualified workplace reconfiguration expenses, and qualified technology expenses. In each calendar quarter, qualified expenses cannot exceed a cap based on the average number of W-2 employees. The cap is equal to $1,000 for each of the first 500 employees, plus $750 for each employee between 500 and 1,000, plus $500 for each employee that exceeds 1,000. The credit covers expenses incurred after March 13, 2020 and before Jan. 1, 2021. Self-employed individuals are eligible to claim a credit against income taxes. n NAHB is providing this information for general information only.

Housing share of GDP climbs to 13-year high

ousing will lead the economic recovery. Due to low mortgage interest rates, a renewed focus on the importance of home, and a lack of for-sale inventory, housing data has been a relative bright spot as the overall economy struggles to establish a rebound. Due to this broader weakness (GDP declined at a -32.9% rate for the second quarter) and gains for residential-related economic activity, housing’s share of GDP reached its highest mark since the third quarter of 2007, increasing to 16.2% during the second quarter of 2020. The home building and remodeling component – residential fixed investment – held at 3.3% of GDP. Housing gains will continue as the consequences of the virus crisis are likely to lead to a reversal for declining home size trends and a greater need for additional home office space. For these and other reasons, home building and remodeling have demand-side potential

that can help fuel a recovery in the labor market, given the widespread impact that construction has on the economy in terms of jobs and state/local tax revenue. Housing-related activities contribute to GDP in two basic ways. The first is through residential fixed investment (RFI). RFI is effectively the measure of the home building, multifamily development, and remodeling contributions to GDP. It includes construction of new single-family and multifamily structures, residential remodeling, production of manufactured homes and brokers’ fees. For the second quarter, RFI was 3.3% of the economy, recording a $564 billion seasonally adjusted annual pace (measured in inflation adjusted 2012 dollars). This did represent a decline from the first quarter, which recorded a post-Great Recession high pace of $638 billion. The second impact of housing on GDP is the measure of housing services, which includes

gross rents (including utilities) paid by renters, and owners’ imputed rent (an estimate of how much it would cost to rent owner-occupied units) and utility payments. The inclusion of owners’ imputed rent is necessary from a national income accounting approach, because without this measure, increases in homeownership would result in declines for GDP. For the second quarter, housing services represented 12.9% of the economy or $2.2 trillion on seasonally adjusted annual basis. Taken together, housing’s share of GDP was 16.2% for the quarter. Historically, RFI has averaged roughly 5% of GDP while housing services have averaged between 12% and 13%, for a combined 17% to 18% of GDP. These shares tend to vary over the business cycle. However, the housing share of GDP lagged during the post-Great Recession period due to underbuilding, particularly for the single-family sector. n
