sions determined to be ones that would help create more opportunities for housing to be built and sold in this region. The homebuilding industry is and can be very difficult. Every day it tests one’s abilities, skills, leadership, priorities and integrity. Many members give of their company, time and finances to advance the objectives of our industry and our Association. I am humbled by saying the great leaders must serve others first, be fair, compassionate, tough, genuine, but above all being a caring, giving person of faith and family.

Executive VP Column by Vincent J. Squillace, CAE, OHBA Exec. VP
OHBA AT MID-YEAR As you know, OHBA’s declared purpose is to represent the industry before state government. This is a big task and OHBA has been accomplishing our duty fully and with success; thanks to our committed officers who keep us on track. While internally we are well organized, outside influencers are, to say the least, unpredictable.

Recent actions and events in the Ohio House drew unwarranted attention. The Speaker resigned in the midst of an FBI investigation, possibly centered on him. Big news to say the least. What could be bigger? Turns out replacing him created its own firestorm. State law and House rules simply state the House can take no official action until a new Speaker is elected by the entire House. Simple enough.

Three candidates threw their hat in the ring. Two in the majority party and the minority leader. A fourth candidate jumped in at the last minute. A rule requires the winner obtain 50 votes. If 50 votes not received on the first 10 ballots the candidate receiving a simple majority on the 11th ballot wins. Sure enough, it took 11 roll call votes for Ryan Smith of Bidwell to get the gavel with 44 (out of 97) to win.

Emotions ran high within the majority party. What remains leaves a lot to be determined as to priorities and winners and losers. We are watching it all closely as the November general elections are just months away.

Eye on Housing
the percentage of loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure, dropped to 1.47% in the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in the serious delinquency rate indicates that the recent changes in mortgage debt outstanding are largely due to the increase in mortgage originations.
BY JING FU
Homeowners’ Equity Reaches a New High Over the first quarter of 2018, the value of owners’ equity in real estate expended and hit a new high on a nominal and not seasonally adjusted basis, according to the Financial Accounts of the United States for the first quarter of 2018. This data is published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. On a nominal and not seasonally adjusted basis, households’ owneroccupied real estate increased to $25.1 trillion totally in the first quarter of 2018, $544 billion more than the fourth quarter of 2017 and $1,674 billion more than the first quarter of 2017. The value of owners’ equity in real estate, the difference between the value of owner-occupied real estate and home mortgage debt, rose by $1.4 trillion over the past four quarters and reached $15.0 trillion in the first quarter of 2018. The blue line and the red line in Figure 1 show the changes in the aggregate market value of households’ real estate and aggregate mortgage debt, respectively; the light blue area presents the change in the ratio of owners’ equity in real estate as a percentage of household real estate from 1987 to the present. The owners’ equity share of home values increased to 59.7% in the first quarter of 2018, from 58.9% in the fourth quarter of 2017.
According to the New York Fed’s Household Debt and Credit Report, total mortgage origination volume declined by 12.9% from $491.4 billion in the first quarter of 2017 to $427.9 billion in the first quarter of 2018. Figure 2 shows that the share of mortgage originations by credit score has changed over time. Before 2007, among five categories of mortgage originations, the share of mortgage originations with a credit score equal to or exceeding 760 was less than the ones in the 720-759 credit score range, and had shares similar to the ones in the 660-719 credit score range. Meanwhile, over the same period, mortgage originations in the 620-659 credit score range and the ones with a credit score less than 620 accounted for about 9% and 11%, on average. During the past eleven years, households with the strongest credit score (760+) received the majority of mortgage originations, while the share of mortgage originations for households with a relatively good credit score (720-759) has shrunk. The share of mortgage originations with a credit score equal to or exceeding 760 climbed sharply from 24% in the first quarter of 2007 to 58% in the first quarter of 2018, widening the gap between it and the share of mortgage originations in the 720759 credit score range.
On the balance sheet of households and nonprofit organizations, home mortgages, the largest share of total household loans, had negative quarterly growth rates between the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2015 in response to the Great Recession, but have risen modestly since then. Over the first quarter of 2018, aggregate home mortgage debt outstanding increased to $10.1 trillion on a not seasonally adjusted basis, $280 billion more than the same period of 2017. Meanwhile, MBA’s first quarter National Delinquency Report (NDS) shows that the delinquency rate for mortgage loans on one-to-four unit residential properties dropped to a seasonally adjusted rate of 4.63% in the first quarter of 2018, which is an 8 basis point decrease from the same period of 2017. In particular, the serious delinquency rate, page 10
The analysis indicates that the majority of mortgage originations are obtained by those with the strongest credit scores. At the same time, leverage in the market overall, measured by the loan-to-value ratio, appears to be falling as home values grow faster than mortgage debt. However, on the margin, leverage (the ratio at home purchase) is likely rising. Together it indicates that, on average, those with the strongest credit scores are able to obtain a high amount of mortgage credit relative to the value of their home, and, in addition to house price appreciation, pay down their mortgage debt in a generally timely fashion. More subtly, it suggests that credit tightness restricts those that can get a mortgage, but not the amount that can be obtained given that they obtain one.

More States See Job Gains in May BY DANUSHKA NANAYAKKARA-SKILLINGTON According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 43 states and the District of Columbia, and decreased in seven states in May 2018 compared to April 2018. Over the month of April, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 26 states and the District of Columbia, was unchanged in two states, and decreased in 22 states compared to March 2018. Nationwide, total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 223,000 over the month of May, faster than the increase of 159,000 jobs in April.
Year-over-year, ending in May, 20 states recorded annualized growth above 1.6% in employment, which was the national growth rate. Seventeen states out of the 20 which recorded growth above the national growth rate were in the Western and the Southern (including South Atlantic) regions of the country. Utah posted the highest growth at 3.4%, adding 49,800 workers during this time. Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia recorded annualized growth between 0.4%-1.5% while Alaska and North Dakota recorded declines in employment. A previous post suggested that the energy industry in these states is likely not responsible for the employment declines in these two states. In the construction sector specifically, which includes both residential and non-residential construction, across the 44 states which reported construction sector jobs data, 23 states had an increase in May, 16 states reported a decline, and five remained unchanged compared to April. Construction sector posted a net gain of 25,000 jobs which is 0.3 percentage points higher than in April. Between April and May 2018, North Dakota had the largest increase in construction job growth with 8.7% followed by Rhode Island (3.2%) and Maine (3.1%). The largest decline was in Wyoming where total construction employment fell by 2.0%. During this time, New Jersey declined by 1.9% and Kentucky declined by 1.5%. Year-over-year, The U.S added 286,000 construction sector jobs which is a 4.1% increase. West Virginia had the highest annual growth in construction sector by 11.1%. Arizona (8.8%) and Georgia (8.4%) round out the top three. Over this period, North Dakota reported the largest decline at 6.4%, followed by New Jersey (3.0%) and South Carolina (1.4%).
Over the past 12 months, total nonfarm employment in May increased by 2.36 million jobs which is a 1.6% increase compared to May 2017. During this time, total nonfarm employment in the Western region increased by 2.2% and the Southern region increased by 1.9%. In comparison, April added 2.30 million total nonfarm jobs, which is also 1.6% ahead of it level in April 2017. Year-over-year, 48 states and the District of Columbia increased in employment while two states, Alaska and North Dakota, lost payroll employment during the month of May. The same number of states increased and decreased (Alaska and North Dakota) in employment over the year ending in April. Stronger growth in jobs across the West and the South is broadly consistent with the faster growth in single-family and multifamily permits across these two regions. Meanwhile, the Northeast and Midwest have experienced year-over-year declines in both singlefamily and multifamily permits.

Don’t Miss FCA and Ram Commercial Truck Season
Housing Starts Reach Post-Recession High BY NAHB CHIEF ECONOMIST ROBERT DIETZ Housing starts increased 5% in May, reaching a 1.35 million seasonally adjusted annual rate. Construction expanded for both single- and multifamily sectors. Construction volume has increased on a year-to-date basis by 9.8% for single-family construction and 13% for multifamily, both numbers exceeding beginning-of-the-year forecasts as demand and demographic conditions remain positive, boosted by tax reform. However, permit growth was negative in May, with single-family permits down 2%. This decline matched the small drop in the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index measure of builder confidence, which declined two points to a still-positive level of 68. The drop was due to recent increases in lumber prices, which have surpassed expectations due to tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber. The Secretary of Commerce has indicated a willingness to look at the factors behind these hikes. In addition to supply-side cost concerns, interest rates are likely to rise, driven by improved economic growth and tight labor market conditions. Our expectation is for a strong second-quarter GDP estimate and ongoing low rates of unemployment. The Federal Reserve is closely watching labor markets, and at the conclusion of its June meeting, the Fed’s policymaking committee raised the federal funds rate for the second time in 2018, with two more rate hikes predicted this year. This projection for four increases, however, means that we would only expect one rate hike in 2020 instead of two.
When your business calls for more hauling power, you need a vehicle that can handle the job as well as the road. And with a long-lasting Ram Truck, you can be confident that you have the capability to conquer any challenge. Your $500 NAHB Member Benefit Discount is stackable with other great offers during Commercial Truck Season. See your dealer or Ramtrucks.com/commercial for more information. With the FCA US vehicle allowance, members, their employees and household family members, are eligible for a $500 cash allowance toward the purchase or lease of a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram or FIAT vehicles. This extra benefit is stackable with most national and local offers, increasing your ability to save! Visit the FCA page nahb.org/fca to learn more about this program and to access your Proof of Membership Form. Please note, only named NAHB members of record are able to access and print eligibility forms for their employees and family. Here’s what NAHB member Travis Braxton had to say about this and other great NAHB member benefits: “I wish I knew that as an NAHB member I was eligible for a $500 [FCA] vehicle allowance and other perks, like discounts on services like shipping, rental cars and insurance. My best advice is to take the time to look into your member benefits. It’s invaluable.” --Travis Braxton of RMB Building & Design, LLC, Wilmington, NC
Overall, housing market conditions remain strong, although price gains are being driven by low levels of inventory and insufficient single-family construction. In fact, first-quarter data for 2018 indicates that the total value of owner-occupied housing has reached $25.1 trillion, with $15 trillion in equity.

The secret to happiness is freedom…and the secret to freedom is courage.” ~Thucydides It might help businesses to think of the workers’ compensation year in three parts: Education, Evaluation, and Enrollment. Spring is generally the time for “Education”, with our seminars and the Ohio Safety Congress taking place. As we’ve now moved on to the middle of the year, we’ve reached the “Evaluation” phase. Here at CareWorksComp, we’re working hard and making sure that we form the strongest and most stable programs, as well as, incorporating any BWC changes so that we can offer your business the best possible options for the 2019 policy year. If you’re not currently a CareworksComp client, we will be reaching out to you soon so that we can provide you with potential savings in our program. CareWorksComp will soon be sending out our invitations to these various alternative rating programs, which will begin the “Enrollment” phase. In the coming months, CareWorksComp will be contacting you about enrolling in the Program that is the best fit for your business. We look forward to discussing the various Programs with you in the near future. Important dates and upcoming deadlines (for Private Employers): ● July 1, 2018 o Start date of the 2018 policy year, including new 2018 rates and programs. ● July 31, 2018 o Final day to join a safety council for the 2018 policy year. o Deadline to complete DFSP accident analysis training for 7/1 program start date (initial year only!). Please note that new su pervisors have 60 days from the date of hire to complete. o Deadline to complete the online safety management self-assessment (SH-26) for a 7/1 start date for both the DFSP program and the ISSP program. ● August 15, 2018 o Due date for BWC to receive your 2017 payroll True-Up report, as well as any True-Up payment for the July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 rate year. 2017 Rate Year True-up: True-Up reconciliation must be completed by 8/15/18 for the July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 rate year. It is very important that your true-up is done timely or BWC may lapse your coverage and/or remove your company from any alternative rating programs. The BWC considers the True-Up complete when payroll is reported and any related premium payments are made. ● August 30, 2018 is the o DFSP action plan deadline for 7/1 start date – advanced level only. Unemployment Update: An analogy for paying out an unemployment claim is like a tire warranty! It is only good for a set amount of miles (money) or a set time frame. Claimants that qualify are awarded a total amount of money (current maximum is $15,548) and a benefit year within which they can collect the money. Like a tire warranty, claimants can only collect on the claim while they still are owed money (or mileage) and are within their time limit. Once either is used up, they cannot collect any more money until the claim year expires. The money they collect is only dispersed one week at a time, and the total awards do not exceed twenty-six (26) weeks. They can open up their claim and never collect against it (drive zero miles), they can file weeks sporadically or they can use up their entire award (maximum mileage). CareWorksComp can assist you in controlling unemployment claims and taxes. If you would like more information on how much a claimant can collect per week, how the amount is determined, and how much you, as an employer, may be charged, please contact Kammy Staton, our Unemployment Manager, at 614.526.7165, or kammy.staton@careworkscomp.com. Policy Activity Rebate (PAR): Employers may have heard about a new program developed by BWC, which, according to the BWC, is intended to help employers expand their knowledge of key facets in workers’ comp, such as claims management and safety. Participation in this plan enables some penalty rated companies to earn a premium rebate, for completion of specific activities. Please contact your CareWorksComp representative if you have questions about this, or any other, BWC program.

CURRENT POLICY ISSUES At any given time, federal regulators are working on dozens of rules that can have significant impacts on the viability and costs of housing projects around the country. This section looks at just four of those issues – housing finance, resiliency, regulatory reform and tax policy – with an overview of the challenge and proposed solutions that could benefit small businesses and consumers alike.

EXCESSIVE REGULATIONS LUMBER TARIFFS TAX POLICY FEDERAL RESILIENCY REQUIREMENTS
Congress must reassert meaningful oversight authority over, and ultimately fix, our broken regulatory rulemaking system. Any overhaul must acknowledge the disproportionate compliance burden small businesses face. On average, almost 25% of the cost of a typical new single-family home — close to $85,000 — is due to government regulation. Reasonable regulations are essential to protecting health and safety. However, many regulations are imposed by unelected bureaucrats who establish laws far beyond Congress’ original intent. What’s more, legislators often fail to see how countless layers of regulation imposed by numerous and varied agencies slow the economy, prevent families from achieving homeownership and harm small businesses. Since January 2017, rising lumber prices have increased the price of an average single-family home by $6,388. Much of these price hikes are due to monetary tariffs on Canadian lumber imports, making housing less affordable for American families. Tell your member of Congress to urge President Trump to re-start softwood lumber trade negotiations with Canada.

National Area Chairs, State Representatives, State and Local HBA Presidents, HBA Executive Officers, Senior Life Directors, Life Directors, and Spikes
NAHB has called on the Internal Revenue Service to provide a safe harbor for anxious home builders and other small businesses that pay estimated quarterly taxes but don’t yet know how recent tax reform legislation will be implemented – and thus may underpay.

Register Now for NAHB’s Midyear Board Meeting
Regulatory Costs Hit Multifamily Development Hard Regulation imposed by all levels of government accounts for an average of more than 32% of multifamily development costs, according to new research by NAHB and the National Multifamily Housing Council. In fact, in a quarter of cases, the number can be as high as 42.6%.
Registration is open for the 2018 Midyear Board of Directors Meeting, which will take place July 24-28, 2018, at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Ore. Registration is $75 for NAHB members and $50 for a spouse. Board members can reserve lodging through the registration link.
Lawmakers Press Administration to Negotiate on Lumber
Association Health Plan Rule Will Boost Small Businesses
At NAHB’s request, 171 members of Congress last week sent a letter to the Trump administration calling on the U.S. to resume talks with Canada on a new softwood lumber trade agreement. Since the beginning of 2017, rising lumber prices — worsened by tariffs on imported Canadian softwood lumber — have increased the price of an average single-family home by nearly $9,000. NAHB leaders also met with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on June 19 and urged him to
The Trump administration has issued a final rule on association health plans (AHPs) that will help small businesses — including home building firms and local HBAs — rein in skyrocketing health care costs and provide better health coverage for workers. NAHB is a long-time proponent of AHPs, which empower small businesses to pool together to purchase health insurance plans for their employees.

Young Adult House Sharing is on the Rise BY NATALIA SINIAVSKAIA New NAHB research shows that sharing housing with roommates, housemates and other non-relatives is rising in popularity among young adults. While only 4% percent of young adults ages 25 to 34 shared housing in 1990, that segment increased to 7.5% in 2016. This is in addition to increasing numbers of young adults that now choose to live with their parents or parents-in-law. Moreover, the rising portion of young adults (5% in 2016 vs 3% in 1990) chose to live with relatives other than parents. As a result, one in three (this adds up to more than 15 million) young adults ages 25-34 now live with parents, relatives or sharing housing with nonrelatives.
heads) in the nation. At the same time, the list of states with the largest segments of house sharers contains several states with the above average headship rates, such as Colorado and Oregon, where 11% of young adults are house sharers. District of Columbia, known as a city of transients, stands out for housing the nation’s highest share of 25-34 year old house/roommates – 20%. At the same time, due to its relatively stable job market, DC’s headship rates are well above the nation’s average, with 45% of young adults leading their own households. North Dakota simultaneously registers the highest headship rate of 54% and one of the highest segments of house sharers, 9%, among young adults.
The share of young adults living with parents or other relatives remained relatively stable from 1990 to 2000 (see Figure below), fluctuating around 15%. The persistent and rising trend emerged a few years later. By 2006, 19% of young adults ages 25 to 34 lived with their parents or relatives. The trend continued its steady climb through the housing bust, a period of declining home prices, economic downturn and showed no sign of reversing even as an economic recovery took place. By 2016, the share of young adults ages 25 to 34 living with parents or relatives exceeded 26%. Out of these, more than 21%, or 9.4 million, lived in homes of their parents or parents-in-law and additional 5.2% (2.3 million) lived with other relatives.

While only 4% of 24-35 year olds shared housing in 1990, the segment surpassed 5% a decade later, exceeded 6% by 2008 and reached 7.5% in 2016. As a result, over 3.3 million of young adults shared their housing with unrelated housemates in 2016. This represents an 80% increase since 1990 when only 1.8 million of 25-34 year olds were house sharers.

The spatial analysis provides additional insights into house sharing arrangements of young adults. The list of states with the largest segments of house sharers includes states with some of the most expensive housing markets, such as California, Hawaii, and New York – where one in ten 25-34 year olds are sharing their homes (and presumably, expensive housing costs) with unrelated roommates or housemates. These states also stand out for having some of the lowest headship rates (the share of young adults who are household page 24

The bill was approved months ago by the House Ways and Means committee on a 12-3 bipartisan vote. Then, mysteriously, the bill was pulled from the floor and remains in limbo. We are told House leadership will not allow the bill to move to the floor until 50 majority members agree to vote for it. As of this week, it was told to us that 20 to 24 majority members are opposed to the bill. The caucus canvas “whipping� is secret, though we can only guess who is holding the bill up. A few members have told us they are opposed, but a number are on record as cosponsors or have indicated they will vote for it. To no surprise, some are taking both sides here. Every local government group is steadfastly opposed and that seems to be the factor in preventing a vote. On a positive note, minority leader Strahorn and others in his party are supporting the bill. We believe we have ample votes if the bill reaches the floor, but House leadership is holding it up. The only avenue at this time is to quiz your House member as to their level of support. We have a good idea of who the fence sitters are. Please call us if you want some help in this effort. Thanks to Majority leader Schuring who has been out front trying to move the bill. It appears though not all his members are good followers. Session days for the rest of the term will be limited. SPLIT RCAC ACTS ON ENERGY CODE RECOMMENDATIONS; RETAINS OHBA PATHS ALONG WITH MODIFIED 2018 IECC At its meeting this week, the Residential Construction Advisory Committee (RCAC) finished up its code review and put together the statutorily required cost impact analysis before voting to move the proposed RCO along in the rule making process. The most contentious discussions came from the review of the 2018 IECC. The sub-committee charged with reviewing the IECC changes recommended the adoption of a modified 2018 IECC with alterations to maintain current 2013 RCO Energy requirements for remodeling/additions, as well as, the OHBA Alternative compliance paths, among a few further modifications hoping to mitigate some of the cost increase associated with the changes. With the changes made, the committee voted 4-2 to include the recommended 2018 IECC in the RCO code update. The RCAC assigned a cost impact for the energy code changes ranging from $100 to $1200, depending on what path a builder chooses to use for construction. OHBA is still evaluating the actual cost impact of moving from 2009 to the modified IECC 2018. The code package now is moved for stakeholder comments and the Common Sense initiative (CSI) process. ELEVATOR LICENSING LEGISLATION TESTIMONY HB 236 Model Elevator Law (Patton, Cupp) and SB 308 (Uecker, Yuko) had hearings this week in the House and Senate committees. The House committee heard from proponents, opponents and interested parties, while the Senate heard from the sponsor in its first hearing. Two representatives from the residential/accessibility elevator industry came to testify on some concerns with the way the correct bill is drafted. Their testimony is attached. It appears HB 236 and SB 308 may continue moving and OHBA will be contacting and meeting with committee chairs and sponsors over the summer. Please contact OHBA with questions or if you have an interest in contacting the sponsors of the bills. Please feel free to contact OHBA with any questions. OHBA 17 S.
