Housing Starts Edge Lower in August,
Permits Up
Who we are
September 17, 2015
- The Johnson
County Builders Association is a nonprofit organization formed to operate for
the benefit of builders, remodelers, subcontractors, and persons or firms and
corporations engaged in allied trades,
businesses, industries and professions
in the County of Johnson, of the State
of Texas. The membership consists
of building trade professionals and
supporting businesses that are the voice
of the construction industry and promotes
and protects the interest of our members
and consumers.
Nationwide housing starts dropped 3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.126 million units in August, according to newly released data from the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development and the Commerce Department. Overall permit issuance rose 3.5 percent to
a rate of 1.170 million.
“Permit growth indicates that our members feel confident that consumers are returning to the
market,” said NAHB Chairman Tom Woods, a home builder from Blue Springs, Mo. “However,
builders are reporting concerns with lots and labor availability, which could have contributed to
this month’s production dip.”
“A slight one-month decline is not unusual as the housing market moves forward at a slow and
steady pace,” said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. “However, encouraging permit data,
year-over-year increases in single and multifamily production, and rising builder confidence all
bode well for a continuing, gradual recovery throughout the rest of the year.”
Both housing sectors posted production declines this month. Single-family housing starts fell
3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 739,000 in August while multifamily starts
dropped 3 percent to 387,000 units.
Combined single- and multifamily starts fell in three of the four regions in August. The Northeast, Midwest and West posted respective losses of 33.7 percent, 9.8 percent and 1.1 percent. The
South registered a 7.1 percent gain.
Multifamily permits rose 4.7 percent to a rate of 471,000 while single-family permits increased
2.8 percent to 699,000.
Regionally, the Midwest, South and West posted respective permit gains of 2.9 percent, 2.4 percent and 9.6 percent. The Northeast fell 4.4 percent.

Mission Statement
Improve your home’s energy
- Our
primary purposes are to provide
information, exchange communication
and education for members; to interact
with local and state legislative bodies
to foster a positive building climate; to
provide a forum to implement policies
that affect the building industry; and
to promote professionalism among our
members.
efficiency this fall with these
smart winterizing tips
(BPT) - Cooler temperatures and shorter days can only
mean one thing — winter is on its way. January and February are typically considered the coldest months in the
Northwest, Northeast and Midwest regions of the United
States. It can be tough for homeowners to stay cozy inside without running up monthly heating costs. Building
professionals say fall is the ideal time to consider winterizing your home for a more energy efficient and comfortable winter.
Look for simple, affordable fixes.
There are some simple, inexpensive measures that homeowners can do to ensure their homes remain energy efficient, warm and comfortable. For less than
$100, weather-stripping for windows, a door sweep strip and some caulking can help fill any air
leaks to limit energy loss. Replacing the furnace’s air filter every three months can also help create
a more comfortable environment since a clogged filter can reduce the unit’s overall efficiency and
lifespan.
Set the temperature.
Investing in a programmable thermostat allows homeowners to monitor the indoor temperature of
their home remotely via a smart phone or online. Keeping the temperature low when no one is home
and programming the thermostat to increase the temperature when everyone arrives home, annual
heating costs can be reduced anywhere between 5-15 percent, according to the U.S Department of
Energy. The same principle can be applied during summer months to help save on cooling costs.
Prevent ice damming.
If ice damming on the roof is an annual problem, consider taking measures to completely stop dams
from forming. Major damage can result from ice damming, so it’s never too early to start thinking
about a long-term solution. Ice damming occurs when warm, indoor air escaping through the roof
melts snow on the shingles. The water then refreezes as it runs off the roof, creating a barrier of ice
at the edge. Shovelling snow or chipping ice away can threaten life, limb and roof, so it’s best to
consider more permanent solutions.
Keep warm air inside.
While weather-stripping and caulking can help address air leakage, the U.S. Department of Energy’s
Home Energy Saver website says that proper air sealing insulation and attic venting are the best
methods to stop ice damming from occurring. Spray foam insulation is a modern solution that both
insulates and seals to help stop ice damming. Installed by licensed professionals, spray foam insulation, like that available from Icynene, works well in all climates and fills in gaps and cracks to help
stop air leakage as well as ice dams formation.
As a long-term solution, spray foam insulation helps maintain a comfortable temperature year round
while helping to control monthly heating and cooling expenses. Thanks to spray foam insulation’s
air-sealing qualities, homeowners can reduce the size of their heating and cooling equipment since
less effort is required to heat or cool the home.
While air leakage can play a role in higher-than-average heating and cooling bills, a well-insulated
home and economical winterizing can help you get through the cold winter months. Homeowners
can learn the five easy steps of selecting the right insulation for their home on icynene.com.
