Coronavirus Weakens Economy, Housing Data
NAHB Provides economic outlook for building industry
As unemployment rates
increase effects throughout
the industry expected
NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz
provided the following economic outlook on
Friday, April 24, 2020.
Due to government-imposed shutdowns
connected to COVID-19 mitigation, new
jobless claims continued at a high, although
slightly diminished pace this week with 4.4
million more unemployed. Over the past
five weeks, the total number of jobless
claims has reached 26 million, implying an
unemployment rate of at least 11%. Next
week should see a smaller new claims
number, but the overall impact on the labor
market is massive and will be reflected in a
surge for the April unemployment rate,
which will be reported on May 8.
New single-family home sales in March
declined, but performed better than

expected. Contracts for new sales fell
15.4% from the February pace to a 627,000
seasonally adjusted annual rate. Despite
the weakness in March, strength in January
and February left the first quarter total of
new home sales 6.7% higher than the total
for the first quarter of 2019. Data also
suggested that sales for smaller builders
held up better in March, as they have a
greater market share in more decentralized
exurban and rural markets. Overall months'
supply of inventory increased to 6.4.
The same pattern was seen for resale
housing activity. After reaching a 13-year
high in February, existing home sales
declined 8.5% in March, the largest monthly
decline in more than four years. Inventory
remains limited in the resale market, with a
months' supply measure of just 3.4.
In addition to declines in sales volume,
the housing market continues to adjust to
new market conditions. For example, NAHB
survey data collected in early April indicates
that 24% of builders operate in markets
where virtual inspections may occur. A full
VOL 2020 ISSUE 4
20 percentage points of that share are
markets where this is new policy in
response to the virus crisis. Thirty-two
percent of builders operate in markets
where third-party inspections may occur,
but for two-thirds of that total this rule was
allowed before the current crisis.
NAHB survey data also indicates the
impact the virus is having on the
remodeling sector. Ninety-six percent of
remodelers report declines in customer
inquiries. And consistent with single-family
and multifamily construction, 59% of
remodelers report at least some issues with
building material access.
Next week's data will feature the initial
estimate for first quarter GDP growth. With
the current recession having begun in
March, the data are expected to show
negative growth for the quarter, the first
decline since the first quarter of 2014.
Additional data will explore the current rate
of homeownership.
Finally, the debate concerning the
impacts of recent fiscal and monetary policy
actions is underway. For example,
generous unemployment benefits may
result in a slowing of some small business
re-opening, such as restaurants, due to the
difference between offered wages and
existing benefits. Additionally, an editorial in
the Wall Street Journal on April 23
suggested that recent monetary policy
moves would result in inflation. While this is
possible in the long-run, in the short-run the
economy faces greater risks for deflation,
which is a more painful phenomenon for
holders of business and household debt.
Inflationary pressures should be relieved as
the economy reopens.
We will continue to update our outlook as
more data become available. Further

Executive’sMessage
Association moves forward as we return to business not ‘as ususal’
Ray Adauto
Executive Vice President
El Paso Association of Builders
The silent killer came into our
lives. It has done more damage
to our businesses and families
than any other event in my life.
Nowhere is clearer than the rules
to stay at home, social distancing,
face covers, closures of
businesses, schools, events. The
list goes long and deep.
It has affected the building
industry in those and other ways.
While I can go on and on about
the ill effects of the covid, I would
like to share some good that has
come our way.
Our associations value was
really shining during this time. We
had the opportunity to run and
hide or lead the way through the
rules, regulations, risks,
misunderstandings, and much
more.
Our state association was as
much a partner in everything we
had coming from Austin and
across the state. Scott Norman
has been available to me any
hour and day. The fight from here
was as important to TAB as TAB
was important to EPAB.
Our members stepped up to the
challenge. I mean like you would
not believe. Innovation from our
Associate members as they dealt
with office challenges, protecting
the client while servicing the
consumers.
Our builder members rose to
the needs of their crews and the
real estate world. Additionally, the
issue of dealing with customers
who traditionally include every
family member in the purchase of
a home.
Our biggest struggle, beyond
dealing with rules and rule
makers, was changing a culture
of workers who bravely show up
to work not knowing much more
than how to work. It must be hard
to take new orders on doing
something you have done for
decades, but like these workers
have done they took the bull by
the horns and took the
instructions to heart. Oh, I am not
saying we have had everything
go super, no not at all. But those
who initially refused to follow the
protocols the peer pressure and
warnings may have done the job
for us. I will take that anytime.
So, as I write this we go into the
unknown again, as the city is
reopening and with that, we enter
the twilight zone for a while. We
2020Issue4
just do not know if we are too
early or just right reopening now,
but clearly, we just cannot hide
anymore. The economy went
from best in the world to having
more that twenty-one million
people out of work, food lines,
facemasks, and more.
I will not say we are now well
because I have reservations. Did
we need to open now?
Absolutely. Can it come back? No
doubt. But we are Texans,
Americans, proud of doing the
work we do, proud of our
community and our fellow
members. With God’s help we will
not only survive but thrive. So far,
we have proven we can respect
the orders, now let us hope the
government respects us.

To keep workers safe on the job

the Construction Industry Safety
Coalition put together a Coronavirus
Preparedness and Response Plan
for Construction that outlines the
steps every employer and employee
should take to reduce the risk of
exposure to and transmission of
COVID-19. It describes how to
prevent worker exposure to
coronavirus, protective measures to
be taken on the job site, personal
protective equipment and work
practice controls to be used,
cleaning and disinfecting
procedures, and what to do if a
worker becomes sick. The plan
served as the basis for materials

Safety Stand Down held April 16.
While it was clearly demonstrated
that residential construction could
continue in a safe manner as long as
workers were cautious and altered
their normal behavior to comply with
these new safety guidelines, five
states refused to designate home
building as an essential business.
NAHB and the state home builders
associations remained in contact
with the five governors and state
officials and now that is changing.

Here is the latest update:

Michigan: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

conference that she may soon allow
construction to restart in the state if
the trajectory of coronavirus
hospitalizations goes down and
testing goes up. She told Politico
that “low-risk” work such as
construction and other “outdoor
enterprises” could reopen in the next
phase.
New York: Gov. Andrew Cuomo
(D) has announced plans to reopen
regions of the state in coordinated
phases, starting with construction
and manufacturing, in mid-May. The
Empire State’s number of cases and
death rate from the coronavirus is
the highest in the nation.
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.

EPAB Board Meeting Ideas on how to make an online meeting fun

goes online
Times change and so do the
way we do business. We have
held more online meetings in the
weeks since the shelter in place
orders than in the entire history
of the association.
The El Paso Association of
Builders board met via
GoToMeeting on April 16. The
historic meeting went for about
an hour when President Edgar
Garcia opened the meeting. For
some the meeting was a
godsend since they were stuck
away from the office or in an
office with very few people
around them.
As we move forward the new
normal may be what you see
today, refined we hope with
better equipment, better abilities,
and skills to actually conduct
these meetings.
Before planning an online meeting,
brainstorm ways to keep your remote
workers engaged. Listening to a manager
read from a cue card won't stimulate the
energy needed to reinvigorate your team.
These are some potential fun ways to liven
up an online meeting:
Make introductions. Go around the
virtual meeting room and ask everyone to
introduce themselves. This acts as an
icebreaker and sets the tone for everyone
contributing to the call.
Introduce brainteasers. Start with a team-
building exercise before getting into the
point of the meeting. Make it a contest on
who can build the most creative object out of
Lego bricks or time the team to finish a
puzzle. A funny interactive quiz could also
break the ice between online meeting
attendees.
Play a guessing game. Another
icebreaker is to play an I Spy game before
your online meeting starts. Ask each
participant to describe a unique item in their
remote work area and have team members
guess the object.
But with remote employment on the rise,
even conventional businesses will see an
increase in online meetings in the coming
years. To help you conduct more productive
online meetings, here are seven tips that
can be implemented immediately.
1. Have a clear and well-communicated
agenda.
A meeting with a vague purpose often leads
to confusion and a lot of wasted time. Never
hold an online meeting without a clear
agenda. To make things easy for everyone,
prepare a formal agenda with all the key
issues to be discussed in the meeting and
sort them according to your business needs.
Also clearly mention what role you expect
from each participant in the meeting. Send
this agenda at least 24 hours before the
meeting, and seek acknowledgment from all
the participants. Also, set automated
meeting reminders using Google Calendar.
2. Appoint a meeting moderator.
A meeting without a moderator is almost
certain to go off track. By appointing a
moderator, you give that person the
authority to control proceedings. No one can
speak without the moderator's permission,
and the moderator is the one keeping
everyone focused on the topic. This is
particularly important in online meetings,
since there's a high chance of
miscommunication due to internet
connectivity and audio or video quality
issues.
3. Prepare your system in advance.
Ask all the participants to restart their
computers at least 20 minutes before the
meeting gets underway. Make sure your
camera and microphone are working and
that your meeting software supports multiple
participants. For one-on-one meetings, you
can go for a standard video calling service
like Skype. But if there are multiple
participants, I'd recommend using a
specialized application like ClickMeeting,
which gives you the ability to conduct online
meetings much more professionally.
4. Set time limits.
Time-capping your meetings can
significantly boost your productivity and help
you extract a lot more value in the limited
time you have. For example, you can set the
meeting duration to 30 minutes and assign
10 minutes to each of the agenda points.
This way, the participants will stay focused
and the meeting will not go off track.
5. Minimize distractions.
Distractions can easily cause
miscommunication in online meetings. To
avoid them, make sure all your participants
are sitting in a closed and well-illuminated
room with a clear background. Also, it's
better to use headphones and a collar mic
instead of your laptop's mic to ensure clear
communication.
6. Conclude with clear action items.
Many corporate meetings end with vague
promises and assurances from the
participants. It is the responsibility of the
moderator to extract action items for each of
the agenda points and get acknowledgment
from all the participants. The key rule is to
identify an action item, assign it to one
individual and agree on a deadline. Without
these three things, no action item can be
tracked effectively.
