SALES AND MARKETING (SMC)

Hone Your Marketing Goals

Can you believe we are already at the

half year mark? The first half of 2015

went by so fast for me and seems so

for most of you who have shared the

same! I am taking this time to evalu-

ate my goals for the year to make

sure I am on target and see if I need to make any changes

to my marketing plan. I have been taught by very successful

individuals that writing down your goals makes them more

attainable – prudent advice that has been working for me.

Our next Morning Buzz will give you the tools you need to

evaluate your marketing plan and hone your goals for the

second half of 2015. We are very excited to have Miia

Olesh, with The Orlando Sentinel Media Group, share with

us some very interesting statistics on our area such as our

demographics, who is moving here, where they are moving

from, and how we compare to other counties. Her presenta-

tion will give us a look at where we are today and what we

can expect tomorrow with changes coming in transportation,

sports, and business. So please join us 8:30 a.m., Thursday,

June 4, at the HBA office to hear this valuable infor-

mation and network with other members and potential mem-

bers. As always feel free to bring a friend as we are always

looking to expand our organization.

On behalf of the Sales and Marketing Committee thank you

for your membership and participation. And we look forward

to seeing you at our next Morning Buzz!

Governmental Affairs and Community Service

Governmental Affairs This committee meets on the first Wednesday of each month. This month’s meeting is June 3rd and we will be discussing the Penny Sales Tax. Attend and give your input on this and other various issues that we are facing. Remember that the new building code will be used starting July 1 throughout the state. Be prepared!

Community Service The 8th Annual Tasting Gala was held at the Mount Dora High School Cane Café on May 2nd. The Architectural Drafting Program and the Culinary Arts students had their Restaurant Expo. The competition among the six countries of China, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, and Mexico was a fun event. Korea swept the competition in all the categories except for two. Thank you to those that helped the architectural drafting students throughout this past school year. Keep this in mind for next year. Cindy Brisson, the Architectural Drafting teacher at Mount Dora High, has asked if we could help in October of this year by providing job site visits for the students. This would give them a visual experience of what they are learning in the classroom. Keep this in mind so she can plan the field trip at the beginning of the school year in September.

NAHB News

NAHB Members Bring Clean Water

Act Worries to White House

Read full article HERE...

Dave Carter, a civil engineer and past president of the

Florida Home Builders Association, told officials there are

too many technical problems in his state associated with

the definition of “neighboring” wetlands. Unclear lan-

guage could allow the Corps to automatically assert juris-

diction over any isolated wetland that has a “shallow sub-

surface connection” to another traditional navigable wa-

ter.

Over half of Florida is covered by a shallow subsurface

aquifer. Carter explained, resulting in a groundwater ta-

ble within a few inches or feet underground. But the pro-

posed definition of “neighboring” means that any isolated

wetland or ephemeral stream would be jurisdictional be-

cause of that large underground connection.

“In Florida, this would mean effectively all isolated wet-

lands are covered by the Clean Water Act and require

federal wetland permits, despite the fact that under the

act, states – not the EPA nor Corps – have the legal au-

thority to regulate groundwater,” said Carter.

NAHB’s meeting at the White House coincided with the

U.S. House of Representative’spassage of H.R. 1732, Reg-

ulatory Integrity Protection Act. H.R. 1732 passed with

strong bipartisan support and the support of NAHB.

If enacted, the bill would require EPA and the Corps to

withdraw the proposed rule and address its numerous

scientific, economic, procedural and practical flaws. For

additional information, contact Owen McDonough at 800-

368-5242 x8662.

Carter and Robert Anderson

June 2015

Your home Builders Association Wood Commodity Index (Index) continued to move lower in May, as supply continued to overpower sluggish demand. The Wood Commodity Index, which is com-prised of a lumber and sheathing composite, dropped 3.8% to $282.49 per thousand. The drops were across the board, except for OSB sheathing, which struck bottom the month before. The lumber portion of Index dropped to $310.42 per thousand, or a 5.4% decline. Spruce studs gave back 3.0% to 7.5% depending on the size. Dimensional spruce was down across all sizes

with the popular 2x4-16 SPF dropping 9.2%. Weak housing demand and fewer Asian exports are cited for the retreat in spruce. Wide width pine was generally down $10 per thousand with popular lengths actually remaining flat to plus a few dollars. Narrow width pines were consistent with the $10 per thousand drop in price. The question is, “How low can it go and is the bottom near?” The sheathing part of the Index dropped 2.7%, as OSB sheathing added $5-$10 per thousand while CDX pine ply-wood retreated on average $50 per thousand. It appears the resistance to drop prices by CDX producers has been broken while the OSB manufacturers have already taken their medicine and hit bottom in April. It appears the CDX pine market has more drops to go, especially with the large price differential in OSB sheathing. In other areas, the roofing manufacturers are desperately trying to make a May 1, 2015 5.0% price increase stick. There is a lot of resistance from suppliers and roofers who believe the increase is not justified, especially given the huge drop in oil prices. The next few months of hurricane season will probably determine if this increase holds to year-end. The wood commodity markets are getting to a level wherein some manufacturers may start scheduling extended maintenance shutdowns. If future housing reports show little hope of increases, many companies may rethink their strategic plan for 2015. Without some major event impacting the market, prices should fluctuate more on the availabil-ity of just in time inventory. Inventory remains low in the supply chain, as dealers see little danger in a rapidly increas-ing market.
