The Arizona governor is calling for new limits on construction in the Phoenix suburbs due to a dwindling supply of groundwater. Governor Katie Hobbs announced a pause on new subdivisions that don't have a proven source of water. The policy comes after an analysis that says the supply of groundwater will fall short of demand over the next 100 years.   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. Please remember to subscribe to this podcast and leave us a review.   Growth Putting Pressure on Water Supply   Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the U.S. with more than 1.6-million people, but the entire metro area has closer to 5-million people. Those suburbs and outlying areas are also growing rapidly, and putting more and more pressure on groundwater supplies that do not replenish rapidly, especially during times of drought.   The city's groundwater analysis involved tests on more than 40,000 wells, along with the testing of aquifers and streamflows. Those tests show that water levels will fall about 185 feet across the entire basin over the next century. Outlying areas that are closer to the mountains will see a bigger decline in those levels.   As reported by the Washington Post, the outflow of water is expected to exceed the inflow by a factor of 1.4 or 140%. The unmet demand would be about 4% or close to 5-million acre-feet of water over 100 years.    One acre foot is about 326,000 gallons. A typical home might use half- to one-acre foot per year. At one acre-foot per home, about 50,000 homes would run dry in the Phoenix area over that 100 year period. At a half-acre foot, it would be more like 100,000 homes. Those are very rough figures.   New Policy Requires Water Assurances   To address the issue, Governor Hobbs announced that any new development projects will have to have proven water supplies. And many Phoenix area cities already have them, such as Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, and Goodyear. But more rural communities that rely on groundwater don't have those assurances. Former Phoenix mayor Terry Goddard says: “You can't build unless you know exactly where the water is coming from.”   Developments that have already been approved can still move forward, but those cities are also scrambling to be sure they have adequate water for the decades ahead. Places like the town of Queen Creek, east of Phoenix, is working on a way to import water and meet demands for mushrooming growth. According to the Post, the town is spending $27 million to buy Colorado River water from a farm elsewhere in Arizona.  It also made a deal for groundwater in another part of the state.   The town's water resource director, Paul Gardner, says the town has about 10,000 lots ready to build, and water has been secured for those homes. But the city is working on ways to import water for other parts of the project, and while water importation will help solve the problem, Gardener also says the water price tag is rising.   One of several landowners involved with development projects expects the cost of water to add as much as $15,000 to $25,000 to each home. Dan Reeb told the Post: “Arizona has gotten very good at stamping out four-bed, two-and-a-half bath, three-car garage homes, and a great job to go with it.” But he says: “It's not going to be as inexpensive and simple as it has been for the last 50 years of phenomenal growth.”   Massive Development Project on Hold   One massive development plan in Buckeye called Teravalis is now on hold. Plans call for some 100,000 homes on 37,000 acres for what would be the largest planned community in Arizona. But most of the property currently lacks the necessary water supply approvals.   Buckeye officials are working on a solution, and they insist that their water future is secure. A big part of their plan is an $80-million deal to purchase groundwater from another rural part of the state.    Each town, city and/or region is dealing with its own water supply problem, so there's a difference in how well they are each solving this problem. While some cities have already invested a lot of money in their water supplies, newer communities that rely on groundwater are having to rethink their options.   In addition to informing residents about the water situation, Governor Hobbs is also offering assurances that the city won't be running out of water anytime soon. She says: “We are not running out of water and we will not be running out of water. We have to close this gap and find efficiencies in our water use.”   Sharon Megdal of the Water Resources Research Center at the University of Arizona says it's a matter of responsible growth. She says: “What these models are suggesting is that the patterns of growth may change.” She says: “It's part of our reality check, an appropriate one, that we make sure the people buying these homes can be confident that the water is there.”   Groundwater as Key to the Future   An Arizona State University professor doesn't feel that the issue is being addressed as a major priority. He told the Post: “I'm incredibly concerned. I don't think that people, and this is everyone, the general public, but right up to our water managers and elected officials, really understand now that groundwater is the key to our future.” (2)   It's a reality check for states and cities across the west, including those who draw water from the drought-stricken Colorado River. The Colorado River supplies drinking water to 40-million people along with hydroelectric power to millions. As the two states using the most water from the Colorado River, California and Arizona are part of a preliminary deal to conserve and reallocate water from the river. Nevada is also part of that preliminary deal, but the seven states drawing from the river also include Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico along with 30 Tribal Nations. (3)   Under that agreement, California, Arizona, and Nevada would conserve 3-million acre-feet of water over three years. That's expected to be enough water savings to protect reservoirs through 2026 when the states and the federal government hope to come up with a more comprehensive plan on how the river water will be shared.   You can read more about this by following links in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.

Today we're going to discuss how to approach your investment strategy from a long-term perspective.One question we hear a lot at our company is "should I use my savings and buy a property outright, or make a down payment and use financing?" We always encourage our investors to keep some of their cash reserves. While I understand the appeal of unloading your savings on one property for quick cash flow, I'd like to encourage you to think about things from a different perspective. Here's why: if your goal is to reach your Freedom Number and build long-term wealth, you're going to need some tools to help you get there. And leverage is a great tool.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending June 3rd, 2023... a new surge in job openings and job creation, a big drop in investor activity, and a new legal battle over short-term rentals in New York City.   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   Economic News   We begin with economic news and several reports on the strength of the job market. The government reports that companies created a whopping 339,000 new jobs in May. That's a sign of strength for the job market, but the report also shows a surge in unemployment from 3.4% to 3.7%. That's the highest jobless reading since October. Some economists see that as a potential warning sign.   But job market resilience is also showing up in a report on job openings which rose from a revised 9.7 million in March to a three-month high of 10.1 million in April. Wall Street Journal economists had forecast a drop in job openings to 9.5 million. (1)   Job openings increased the most for retail, health care, transportation, and warehousing. They were down for manufacturing, government, leisure and hospitality. When comparing job openings to the number of unemployed workers, they rose in April from 1.7 to 1.8 openings per person. The Fed would like to see those numbers at a pre-pandemic level of 1.2. (2)   The weekly unemployment report shows only a slight increase in claims. Applications were up 2,000 to 232,000. The takeaway from all this – the labor market is showing strength overall, with businesses hiring and no word of major layoffs. That's not exactly what the Fed wants to see. It's hoping for a weakening of the job market in its fight against inflation. (3)   Builders are among those contributing to job market strength. The Commerce Department reports that construction spending was up 1.2% in April. That's much higher than a Wall Street forecast of .1%. The numbers break down to a .5% monthly increase for private residential construction but that includes a .8% decrease for single-family and a .6% increase for multi-family. The construction industry contributed 64,000 of those new jobs in May. (4)   Home prices are still moving higher. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller national index shows a .4% increase in March. The Southeast shows the strongest price growth, thanks to strong demand for housing and potential sellers who don't want to list their homes right now. The 20-city index was up .5%. A few of the cities showing the strongest price growth were Tampa at 4.8%, Charlotte at 4.7%, and Atlanta at 4.5%. On the flip side, Seattle prices are down 12.4%. San Francisco prices have also fallen by almost as much at 11.2%. (5)   Consumers are showing more concern about the economy. The Conference Board says consumer confidence was down in May to a six-month low. (6)   Mortgage Rates   High mortgage rates are one of the things consumers are worried about. And they spiked a bit last week ahead of another potential rate hike by the Fed this month. Freddie Mac says the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was up 22 basis points to 6.79%. The 15-year was up 21 points to 6.18%. (7)    In other news making headlines…   Record Slowdown for Investor Home Purchases   Many investors are sitting on the sidelines as interest rates rise and home values fall. Redfin says investor home purchases shrank almost 50% year-over-year in the first quarter. But investors are still accumulating a large share of homes, buying up 18% of homes that sold in the first quarter. That's higher than pre-pandemic percentages, but down slightly from a peak of 20% last year. (8)   The Redfin analysis covers 40 of the most populated metros in the nation, and includes both institutional and individual investors. But one Redfin agent says there isn't much activity from the Wall Street investors. The agent from Jacksonville, Florida, says: “Some smaller companies and mom-and-pop investors are still active in the market, but the big corporations aren't buying anymore.”   Redfin expects to see investor activity slow further as interest rates rise. Of course, investors with cash aren't feeling that kind of restraint.    Short-Term Rental War Heats Up in New York City   The battle over short-term rentals is escalating in New York City. Airbnb is suing the city for what it says is an “extreme and oppressive” law that the city plans to begin enforcing next month. It claims that the law is confusing and conflicts with Federal law that protects websites from liability for content posted by users. The New York Times also reports that three Airbnb hosts have filed similar lawsuits for a law that they say is too complicated.    The Big Apple is a huge market for Airbnb with more than 38,500 active listings and $85 million in revenue last year. The company argues that short-term rentals are important for tourism and for hosts who need extra income. The city says it is committed to preserving permanent housing as it deals with a lack of housing for residents.   Other cities have fought similar short-term rental battles including Santa Monica, Boston, and San Francisco. Airbnb worked out a deal in Santa Monica to be sure that listings are registered with the City, and according to the Times, Santa Monica is currently looking at ways to expand the number of legal Airbnb listings.   You can get more information on all these stories by following links in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.
