I wanted to let BANN members know that after nearly 6 years of working for this association, I will be moving on. It was a difficult decision because I have loved the opportunity to work with our members and advocate on behalf of the industry.
It has been an honor and I thank all of you for your support over the years. I am currently finishing my last month here as our hiring committee interviews candidates to ensure BANN continues to grow and improve on your behalf.
Many of you have become my close friends and I intend to continue to be engaged with BANN’s efforts, I will just be sitting on the same side of the table as you. I am proud of what we have accomplished together, and I look forward to helping the organization succeed as a member instead of as an employee. Together we have helped advance the organization’s mission, shared in great times and improved housing in our region.
I will be working with Northpointe bank as sales manager and loan originator for all residential mortgages for new construction, existing purchases and refinances. My new contact is don.tatro@northpointe.com
Thank you again for the opportunity to represent you and your business.
Regards,
Don

New Home Sales at Highest Pace Since September 2006
Article by NAHB
In another indicator that housing continues to lead the economy forward, sales of newly built, single-family homes in August topped the 1 million mark and reached their highest pace since September 2006. Sales increased 4.8% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.01 million units, according to newly released data by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau. The August rate is 43.2% higher than the August 2019 pace. “Surging sales are consistent with record builder confidence levels stemming from higher buyer traffic, historically low interest rates and a shift in demand for lower density markets,” said NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke. “However, higher lumber costs and limited building material availability in some markets signify we could see higher prices down the road.”
“New home sales are now 15% higher on a year-to-date basis, with gains in all regions,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “But with inventory at just a 3.3 months’ supply, more construction is needed. The challenge will be whether ma terials and labor are available.” That 3.3 month's supply means just 282,000 new single-family homes are for sale, 40% lower than August 2019. The current months’ supply is the lowest in the history of the data series, which goes back to 1963. Of the inventory total, just 54,000 are completed and ready to occupy.

HUD Secretary Carson Speaks with NAHB
Article by NAHB
HUD Secretary Ben Carson on Sept. 24 participated in an exclusive webinar that more than 1,000 members and invited guests registered to attend. He discussed the need to address the lumber crisis as well as HUD’s actions to address housing needs in response to COVID-19. Carson told the NAHB members that lumber prices are “a big roadblock” and that he would seek to “elevate” this issue by engaging with other top administration officials.

CDC Imposes Eviction Moratorium
Article by NAHB
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a nationwide order that will halt millions of U.S. renters from being evicted through Dec. 31, 2020. The CDC said halting residential evic- tions of any covered tenants for failure to pay rent is necessary to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. NAHB is deeply concerned the CDC’s rental eviction moratorium through the end of the year will result in negative economic consequences without dedicated funding for rental assistance.
