Join Kosta and his guests: Catherine Jackson, Executive Officer of The Home Builders Association of the Upper Cumberland and Katie Hall, General Manager at Cookeville Kitchen Sales. In this episode: Building a house is like making a cake from scratch - I don't know how. Let's start there, because for most of us buying an existing home is confusing enough, what's it like to build a house? From 2014 to 2024, the median price of a 3-bedroom house in Putnam County has increased over 115%. Buying a home is mathematically impossible for the majority of the Upper Cumberland. How can building more homes help bring down demand and cost? How does building a new home in 2025 compare to buying a similar home at the same price point? Is it comparable or are there other factors we need to consider? Find out more about The Home Builders Association of the Upper Cumberland:https://uchba.com/

We asked Google's NotebookLM to simplify the latest news on the lawsuit the Goldwater Institute is bringing against the Governor of Arizona, Hobbs' water policy that the Institute argues illegally restricts new housing construction.The policy, implemented by the Arizona Department of Water Resources, uses a flawed "unmet demand" model to determine groundwater availability, effectively halting development in large areas of Maricopa County. This action is deemed illegal because it bypassed required legislative authorization and formal rulemaking processes. The lawsuit claims this policy exacerbates Arizona's housing crisis and violates basic democratic principles. The plaintiffs are the Goldwater Institute and the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona.However you look at it, we must learn to balance population growth, housing costs, business, and our water supply.Check out the CAST11.com Website at: https://CAST11.com Follow the CAST11 Podcast Network on Facebook at: https://Facebook.com/CAST11AZFollow Cast11 Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/cast11_podcast_network

Originally uploaded February 2nd, reedited February 14th. Chris Holman welcomes Bob Filka, CEO, Home Builders Association of Michigan, Lansing, MI. Welcome Bob, remind the Michigan business community about the Home Builders Association? What were some of your highlights for 2023? You recently released a 2024 forecast, tell us about that? The HBA reacted to some of the housing issues highlighted in Governor Whitmer's State of State address - what were those? Meanwhile HBA also responded to the Governor and LARA with a release: LARA: “We Don't Care About Governor's Housing Goals” Lansing, MI - Today the Home Builders Association of Michigan (HBAM) drew attention to the contradictory actions being taken by the Whitmer Administration. The Governor unveiled her plan to invest some $1.4 billion in much needed housing across the state this evening. However, recently proposed changes to building codes by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), including mandatory sprinkler requirements in all new homes and other costly changes, will raise the cost of building a typical Michigan home by more than $20,000. This will price-out some 100,000 families (or more) from being able to afford a home in Michigan and reduce overall housing production. “We remain hopeful that the Governor and other attainable housing advocates within her administration will communicate their opposition to these costly changes,” said HBAM CEO Bob Filka. “LARA is either operating in a vacuum or is pandering to manufacturers who would like to mandate the use of their products instead of convincing home owners their products are worth purchasing.” LARA's proposals, as currently drafted, will require new residential homes (and most renovated homes) to have 2 X 6 framing, R-60 insulation in ceilings, inch thick exterior sheathing, mandatory fire suppression systems (sprinklers inside homes) and arc fault circuit interrupters in every room, among other costly measures. “For every $1,000 increase in the cost of a home in our state, nearly 5,000 households are priced out of being able to afford one,” noted Filka. “If not altered, the state's proposed code changes will price-out more than 100,000 additional Michigan families. These proposed changes need to be modified and can be, while achieving similar goals at far less cost.” With high interest rates and a median home sales price approaching $450,000 or more in some areas, many Michiganders have already been priced out of the housing marketplace. Filka highlighted that builders are not opposed to improving state building codes. “HBAM has offered an alternative proposal to the state that would result in similar energy efficiency improvements at 1/3 of the cost of LARA's proposal, by removing manufacturer-driven proscriptive requirements and providing more options and flexibility for builders. In terms of ensuring citizens are protected from needless fire fatalities, neither sprinklers nor arc fault circuit interrupters will save lives. Research shows that properly functioning smoke detectors are the key to fire safety in homes. Requiring sprinklers in all new homes will not. To the contrary, it will make new housing more expensive and keep or push people into older substandard housing that is more susceptible to fire. Virtually every state in the country has rejected the idea that sprinklers should be required for residential homes. Michigan should too! We have been a partner with the Whitmer Administration in pursuing many new efforts to increase attainable housing production across the state. That positive momentum will be lost if we don't balance the cost of new building code standards with housing attainability.” #### » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCqNX… » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Gabe and Myles Chatham with The Chatham Company join the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the family's impressive 75-year legacy and the valuable knowledge that comes with it. The Chatham brothers sit down with host Carol Morgan on the Real Estate Legacy series. The two oldest of three brothers, Gabe and Myles Chatham, continue to build on the Chatham legacy in its 75th year, working personally and professionally to bring the company into the next generation, which will be inherited by 11 grandchildren. Growing up in the business, a regular Saturday for the brothers consisted of visiting job sites with their father and experiencing first-hand the tumultuous changes occurring in the industry. Myles said, “It's in our blood. We've been around it our whole lives [and we love it.] We feel like we've gained experience in this business.” The Chatham legacy is comprised of three separate entities. The first, a development company, focuses on building luxury communities in the north Atlanta area. A custom homebuilding business, ChathamBilt Homes was founded by their grandfather, Howard Chatham, and acted as the starting point for the family's legacy. Finally, The Chatham Company is a brokerage business connected to the family brand that primarily assists with the purchase and sale of homes and partners with buyers to succeed in real estate. A third-generation company, where The Chatham Company stands today was firmly built on the formative years the brothers spent visiting job sites with their father after Sunday church and learning the ins and outs of the business from a formative age. The brothers both commented that continuing the legacy of their father and grandfather and witnessing first-hand the impact their legacy has made makes a world of difference. Gabe said, “Ultimately, we've learned over time…that if something is a short-term loss, it's well worth it…for a long-term perspective of what we do.” Over 75 years, the builder has constructed 6,000 homes and counting in 150 neighborhoods! Turning back the clock to 1948, the Chatham legacy began when Howard Chatham founded his homebuilding business. Then in the mid-1950s, he began what would become the largest real estate company in the Southeast, Northside Realty. Myles said, “There's no way to count the thousands of folks through the legacy we've been able to help on the real estate side as well as but we're certainly proud of those statistics, stories and families.” Another notable milestone, David Chatham was recently inducted into the Home Builders Association of Georgia (HBAG) Hall of Fame. In the last few years, the builder was named Southern Living Custom Home Builder of the Year and was also invited to be on the board of directors for the company's custom builder program. This merely scratches the surface of the company's seven decades of accolades but is a testament to the ongoing commitment to beautiful, quality construction. Click here to listen to the Legends of Real Estate episode, starring David Chatham!

Bob Chapin, senior vice president of SouthState Bank, joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast as part of the Legends of Real Estate series. Chapin chats with host Carol Morgan about his years in the industry, what sparked his interest in banking and his involvement in the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association and Home Builders Association of Georgia. Growing up in Doraville, Chapin has been a rare Georgia native who went to college at Georgia Southern University earning a degree in finance with an emphasis on real estate and banking. With a dad who worked as a company controller, Chapin grew up around spreadsheets and developed a real love for money and people. Chapin was treasurer of every school club and, in his senior year, was introduced to the owner of Peachtree Bank who offered him a summer/holiday position. From working in customer service and collection to the mail room and as a teller, Chapin built a strong foundation in banking at a young age. Chapin said, “My favorite movie is It's a Wonderful Life. I fell in love with the character of George Bailey…I thought banking was the perfect fit!” Right out of college, Chapin joined the training program at Peachtree Bank amid a recession with interest rates between 18 and 19%. While Chapin was involved in the training program, the Head of Real Estate for the bank asked for a volunteer to become the interim Construction Inspector and Chapin eagerly took on the job. Since then, Chapin has fallen in love with the real estate realm of banking and has never looked back! Chapin said, “When you are out on a job site, you fall in love with the sights, smells and sounds.” Experiencing four recessions, Chapin has developed a good eye and intuition when it comes to future economic changes. The banking president shared four quotes with the audience that he lives by: “The housing market never goes to zero.” “When the worst of my competition is doing well, it's time to pull back.” “The housing market is cyclical.” “Don't confuse a good market with genius.” In the first few decades of Chapin's career, the builders who typically worked with Chapin were all involved in builder's programs. The banks would try to provide A&D loans to builders under programs while as well as uphold the goal of providing individual small builders with construction loans. With the cost of development being at equal value as the cost of lots in today's market, builder's programs are a thing of the past with many disappearing after the Great Recession. Chapin said, “That was the lending process…there was very little end-user development in building.” While many aspects of the real estate and banking world have changed over the years, Chapin explains that the one thing that has never shifted is the relationships and connections made within the industry. Chapin said, “The relationship aspect has not changed and is one of the best parts of this business!” From the beginning of his career, Chapin has been heavily involved in both the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA) and the Home Builders Association of Georgia (HBAG). As a life director at the GAHBA, Chapin believes showing support for the industry along with networking with fellow industry professionals is extremely important. Chapin encourages his industry partners and employees to get involved in all the associations and organizations, including GAHBA, HBAG, HomeAid Atlanta and more! Chapin said, “We should support the association that supports the industry that puts food on the table.” Chapin explains that the best part of his job is walking the raw pieces of dirt and envisioning the possibilities with his clients. Chapin said, “After visiting lots and financing loans, you drive through the developments to see kids playing in yards and residents walking their dogs, and you know you've had a small part in providing the American dream." With decades of success under his belt,

David Clough, president of Waterford Homes, joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast as part of the Legends of Real Estate series. Clough chats with host Carol Morgan about his decades in the homebuilding industry, working through the Great Recession and his involvement with the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA) and the Home Builders Association of Georgia (HBAG). An alumnus of Princeton University, Clough holds a degree in economics and politics. Clough started his career in construction, working summers for Ryan Homes while still in school and later took on a permanent position with the homebuilding company as an assistant superintendent. Finally settling down after several promotions and locational transfers, he landed in Atlanta in 1980 as a division manager. After serving on the team at Ryan Homes for many years, Clough went on to work with a few Atlanta builders, including fellow legend of real estate John Wieland. Clough said, “I had a great experience with Ryan Homes and learned a lot about the homebuilding industry.” Bringing Waterford Homes to life in 1991, Clough and his team started with just five lots in Dekalb County. Sporting a different style and aesthetic than popular homes today, the company's first projects were traditional, two-story homes around 2,220 to 2,600 square feet featuring brick and stucco exteriors. Clough said, “The early 1990s was a great time to get started…the Atlanta market was bouncing back, and we grew rapidly from there!” With several opportunities to buy lots within quality communities, Waterford Homes quickly expanded into Gwinnett County. Construction in the 1990s within Atlanta consisted of an ample number of small builders and developers, local bankers and public companies – making competition strong but connected. Many local real estate businesses joined builder's groups to form an inclusive community of builders and developers. Waterford Homes became involved in groups across metro Atlanta, including Dekalb, Gwinnett, Forsyth and Fulton counties. Clough said, “From 1993 to 1994, we closed over 100 homes with an average sales price of $170,000. In 2022, our average sales price was $950,000!” Waterford Homes continues to build multiple types of residential projects across metro Atlanta! The homebuilding company is currently closing out a community in Acworth and has several projects underway, including homes on Lake Oconee and an upcoming townhome community in the heart of Milton. Clough and his team also specialize in custom homes, primarily Brookhaven and Sandy Springs. Serving as the president for both the HBAG and the GAHBA, Clough is a significant advocate for the Home Builders Associations. Providing a safe space to build valuable relationships, the HBA allows homebuilders, trade workers, suppliers, bankers and other real estate professionals to mingle and connect. In addition, HBA members have access to incredible educational opportunities as well as several volunteer initiatives to give back to the community. Clough said, “The Greater Atlanta HBA and the HBA of Georgia are incredibly important to our industry!” As Clough thinks back on his time building in the Great Recession, he explains that his team survived the challenging time with appreciated help from his banker. With the housing industry constantly evolving, today's market involves many more large builders and developers compared to pre-recession. Clough said, “I like to say we survived the Great Recession with lots of sweat, blood and cash.” Clough advises young professionals looking to start a career in the industry is to find a successful builder to work under and learn as much as you can! Clough said, “Put in your proverbial 10,000 hours and work hard!” With decades of service within the construction industry, Clough is most grateful for his team and everyone who's had a hand in the success of Waterford Homes. He is also incredibly proud of the legacy he is building wi...

Government Affairs Director Garrett Wiley with the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA) joins the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the growing housing affordability crisis. On the All About Real Estate segment, Wiley joins host Carol Morgan to discuss the increase in moratoriums nationwide, the revised Atlanta tree ordinance and more. With an extensive background in politics, Wiley's first job out of college entailed working for a Georgia state senator, which led to working on several political campaigns, including a United States senate campaign in Louisiana and a mayoral race in Jacksonville. Wiley later served in economic development and government affairs for the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce and Jackson EMC. After working in business development for a commercial construction firm, Wiley transitioned back to government affairs for the GAHBA and has been there for two years. Wiley said, “It's been a blast! We have a great team and I love working with our members.” As part of the government affairs team, Wiley helps to handle the seven GAHBA chapters and the many events those groups host, as well as tracking local legislation and over 70 municipalities within the greater Atlanta area. Serving nine counties, the government affairs team is tasked with building relationships with local city and county staff members, including code enforcement, planning and development, fire marshals and many more. While Garrett is a registered lobbyist, he is really here to act as a liaison between the GAHBA's many members and the politicians that make up the many local governments around the metro area. Wiley said, “Our goal is relationships…to be the catalyst and liaison between our members and the government departments that we work with.” The government affairs team's top priority is the ongoing litigation between the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association and the Henry County government. Two years ago, Henry County presented a nearly 500% increase in impact fees on builders for single-family homes. The GAHBA put together a task force of builders currently working in the county and hired Dr. Chris Nelson, the original architect of the impact fees law in Georgia, to help stop Henry County from passing the impact fee increase. While the attempt was unsuccessful at stopping the increase, it was not the 500% increase originally recommended, and Wiley and his team still work hard to reverse the impact fees. The association is working with attorney Simon Bloom and has filed within the Henry County government to challenge the processes of the impact fees. Wiley and his team also track local government lot-size changes, design standards, code changes and moratoriums. There are several reasons to clarify why moratoriums are increasing within local governments, but the top explanation given by those local governments is infrastructure needs. With many builders starting projects in rural areas within populated counties, governments are placing moratoriums on builders because of increasing infrastructure demands. Many local governments are also changing development codes, especially to address build-to-rent housing, and while the changes are in process, governments are requiring all residential construction to stop. Wiley said, “The unfortunate part of moratoriums is that they happen without a warning.” To learn more about the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, listen to the full interview above, or visit www.AtlantaHomeBuilders.com.

On this week's episode, the CEO of the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans says the vast majority of insurance claims during recent Louisiana hurricanes were caused by roof failures that could be prevented by improved installation techniques. So, getting some of the region's roofs up to code could be the key to solving the current residential insurance crisis.
Capital equity and debt are the two ultimate keys to driving real estate deals and value. In today's episode, our guest, Greg Dickerson, tackles everything about cap rates expansion and interest rates going up and how it all boils down to the cost of the capital. He explains why educating ourselves right now is a crucial thing to do especially in the state of today's real estate market and the opportunities out there.He also talks about what is going to happen and what we can expect in the future.

Listen to this episode and brace yourselves as Greg helps us start and grow our business, raise capital and most importantly, do bigger deals! Don't miss it!Key Points from This Episode: Greg talks about today's state of the real estate market and how the banks are reacting. How does Greg tell someone who's thinking about getting into real estate that they can still do it? The two things that create and drive real estate deals: equity capital and debt. Greg advises us that there'll be opportunities, we just have to educate ourselves, understand what we can do, where banks are and what they are willing to do. What's going to happen when the dust settles and the Fed is resolved? The biggest risks to the real estate market. Why political pressure will be put in the Fed in 2024 If you're a new investor, you don't need 50 properties. Greg believes you only need a win or two. Greg explains that the inflation numbers being reported aren't right because rents are currently lagging in their numbers. With what is happening right now, why is it definitely the time to educate yourself? Greg claims that we are currently in a risk-off environment right now. The most important message of the podcast. The journey of how Greg started in real estate. The state of the real estate market right now. How did the Navy help Greg in real estate? Tweetables:“The reason the markets are reacting like they are, and the reason bonds yields are going up and rates are going up is because the Fed said we're gonna be a hundred basis points above inflation.” – Greg Dickerson“As the market continues to adjust, you need to be very conservative in your underwriting. You need to be very conservative in your assumptions. You need to assume whatever you're buying now is gonna be worth less potentially for a little while.” – Greg Dickerson “I think the big opportunity is gonna be next year once we really start to see where the economy's going and the effects of what the Fed's doing. Potential slowdown in the economy as we get into 2024. That's where you might see some real opportunities.” – Greg Dickerson“At some point, people, they can only afford what they can afford. So they quit paying or they move.” – Greg Dickerson“I'm a developer, so I take a lot of risks and I'm used to big risks, big, big rewards. But there's also times where you have to be cautious. You have to be cautiously optimistic, and you have to just risk it off.” – Greg DickersonLinks Mentioned:Greg Dickerson WebsiteAbout Greg DickersonAs an entrepreneur, real estate investor and developer, Greg has bought developed and sold over $200 million in real estate, built and remodeled hundreds of custom homes and commercial buildings and started 12 different companies from the ground up.Greg is an expert on the topics of Real Estate and Construction.
