Is the housing market sending warning signs about the U.S. economy? In this episode of The Fastest Four Minutes in Finance, Scott Inman breaks down the latest earnings reports from the Big 4 homebuilders—D.R. Horton, Lennar, Pulte Group, and NVR—and what their forward guidance says about affordability, tariffs, and mortgage rates.

The Build Podcast tackles a very timely and top-of-mind topic: tariffs. This episode dives deep into the current (as of April 28, 2025) and forecasted state of the U.S. housing and remodeling industry, with a spotlight on tariffs, economic uncertainty, and demographic trends. Matt is joined by two experts from Zonda (a leading housing data and insights company), Matt & Todd, to discuss how global tariffs are expected to raise material costs by up to 9%, even for companies that don't directly import goods. The conversation covers how these pressures are reshuffling market share among building product brands, highlighting the rise of private labels and the shifting loyalty to names like Kohler and Moen.They explore how an aging, wealthier homeowner demographic is driving demand for higher-quality, longer-lasting products—especially in remodeling. They also emphasize a growing labor shortage, suggesting that skilled contractors will become more valuable, with fewer available by 2030.Zonda's Matt & Todd unpack the revolution in supply chains: contractors are increasingly purchasing materials via e-commerce and direct-from-manufacturer channels. Digital fluency has become an essential in building materials sourcing and distribution.Thank you to episode sponsors Huber & Midea.

An expectation less red tape for Kiwi businesses bidding for Government contracts will benefit the economy. The Finance Minister's slashing 71 requirements in the Government's procurement rule book down to 47 – including scrapping a company's requirement to pay their employees a living wage. It's also introducing a new economic benefit test. Building Industry Federation chief executive Julien Leys told Mike Hosking this will help growth. He says we're going to see better deals, more work for local companies, and a move towards outcome driven decisions. Leys says some of the current rules are very prescriptive, often creating a burden rather than focusing on what the company has to offer.

Ever seen two inspectors fight? You will here... well, nicely. In fact, this might be the most gentlemanly fight ever. With Brad Lowery moderating, Matt Brading, and Beau Brown duke it out discussing the intersection of artificial intelligence and home inspection. They explore the benefits and challenges of integrating AI into the inspection process, emphasizing the importance of human expertise and experience. The discussion also touches on the significance of builder conferences and the evolving landscape of the construction industry. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the implications of AI and technology in the home inspection industry. They explore the potential benefits and limitations of AI as a tool, emphasizing that it should not be seen as a replacement for human inspectors. The discussion also touches on the importance of proper marketing and understanding the legal ramifications of using technology in inspections. Simply put, tools are useful so long as they're used properly. THE TLDR: Home inspectors and builders are intertwined in their work. AI can enhance knowledge about building products. AI should augment, not replace, human inspectors. Homeowners need to understand the limitations of AI. Experience in inspections is irreplaceable by AI. New inspectors may misuse AI without proper knowledge. Builder conferences provide valuable networking opportunities. AI can streamline the inspection process. The future of home inspections will involve both AI and human expertise. Proper marketing is essential for technology implementation. Lawsuits will impact the adoption of AI in inspections. AI can streamline tedious tasks but has limitations. Networking at industry events is valuable for growth. Understanding code is crucial for builders and inspectors. AI can enhance efficiency but cannot replace human intuition. The building industry is evolving with new technologies. Staying forward-thinking is important for professionals. Beta testing new tools can provide valuable insights.

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation about mental health challenges for people who build and maintain roads and bridges. Gregg Brunner, chief engineer and chief operations officer at the Michigan Department of Transportation, spoke about the issue last month on a panel convened by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.As someone who has spent a career focusing on the safety of the transportation system and work zones, Brunner said his interest in making improvements was piqued as he pored through crash reports and visited the scenes. He learned of the toll crashes, especially where road work is occurring, takes on the workers. Members of the panel shared some chilling statistics, including: Overall, suicides in the U.S. increased to 49,300 in 2023, up from 48,183 since just 2021. In the construction industry, 5,000 workers died by suicide in 2022, which climbed to 7,000 by 2023. By contrast, the industry loses an estimated 1,000 annually to construction site incidents.In Michigan, a construction worker is now 12 times more likely to die by suicide rather than due to an on-the-job injury.There is a 75 percent remission rate for mental health and even substance abuse issues if one stays engaged six months to a year in a treatment plan. Also discussed: The Michigan Senate recently adopted legislation to allow the use of safety cameras in work zones to monitor vehicle speeds and initiate citations for those exceeding work zone speed limits. On a previous episode of the podcast, Juan Pava, Safety Programs Unit chief of the Bureau of Safety Programs and Engineering at the Illinois Department of Transportation, talked about the success of a similar program there.

There's a belief the problems in the building industry are due to an insufficient number of pre-requisites. The Government's looking at changes to registration and licensing regimes, with a focus on lifting competence and accountability requirements. Larger fines could also be on the cards for individuals and companies for hiding non-compliant work during inspections. New Zealand Certified Builders chief executive Malcolm Fleming told Mike Hosking it's more of a skills issue. He says the bar for entry-level builders is far too low, and needs to be tightened up.

Dr. Robert Tino Sonora 10 Minutes on the Economics affecting the building industry

The government's recently announced plans to reform the building materials sector, has the potential to be a massive shake-up to the industry. Before a product can be used on site, builders must demonstrate it meets the standards laid out in the NZ Building Code. Under the newly proposed system, they may soon be able to rely instead on certifications from trusted overseas jurisdictions.

Part 1 of 2 Mike Kaeding: Solving the Housing Crisis by Transforming the Building Industry! The American Dream of homeownership has been a symbol of prosperity, stability, and success for generations. Unfortunately, that dream is becoming increasingly difficult for many Americans to achieve.  Major institutional investors such as BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, and Blackstone have negatively impacted housing affordability. By purchasing single-family homes in bulk, these firms are making it more challenging for average Americans to afford homes or find affordable rental properties. High home prices, elevated mortgage rates, and limited inventory make it increasingly difficult for many Americans to afford homes.  It's time to address this crisis and work towards ensuring that the American Dream of homeownership is attainable for all. But how? That's what we are examining over the new two episodes, and no, we are not speaking with a theorist but rather someone who has rolled up his sleeves and has boots on the ground making it happen.  Mr. Mike Kaeding, CEO of Norhart.  Mike Kaeding, CEO of Norhart, a $200 million Real Estate business with over 250 employees based in Minnesota. He's a man on a mission to solve America's housing shortage by transforming the way apartments are built and managed, and he's the host of the Zero To Unicorn Podcast.
