APB Survey Indicates Positive Outlook for Homebuilder Market Despite Possible Recession

Association of Professional Builders

The Association of Professional Builders (APB), a leading business coaching service for custom home builders, with members in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, today provided additional insights on the homebuilder market in light of a possible recession that U.S. economists are predicting. While construction material costs, labor shortages, and other pandemic implications have arisen, the association remains optimistic about residential homebuilders’ businesses – provided that they know how to prepare for a possible recession. Recently, APB released findings from its annual 2022 2022 State of Residential Construction Industry (SORCI) Report. The report, compiled annually, surveyed more than 700 builders from the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and was sponsored by Buildertrend, CBUSA, Buildxact, Xact Accounting and Builda Price. Key findings concluded that 68.9 percent of U.S. homebuilders focus on new construction and take on approximately 13 projects per calendar year. “Smart builders must factor in extended lead times, material price increases, and labor shortages. These factors are all combining to erode what little margins builders have left in their projects,” said Russ Stephens, Co-Founder of APB. “The residential home builders who will continue to succeed are the ones that have a good understanding of their financials; this includes protecting their profit margins with at least a 25 percent gross margin.” The 2022 SORCI Report indicated that the benchmark for fixed expenses is approximately 15 percent of the company’s annual sales for those building companies with over $3 million in annual revenue. 55 percent of the home builders surveyed also projected marking up their jobs by 25 percent or more based on their profitability in 2022. More than 50 percent (56.6 percent) of U.S. builders noted that they monitor their gross margins on jobs every month. Optimistically, 46.7 percent of the residential home builders surveyed indicated that they are on track to earn more money this year, surpassing $120,000 in annual salary, also with 52.7 percent of their jobs completed on budget. APB predicts that with demand now starting to reduce for home builders in the U.S., it’s imperative that builders address how they are marketing their business before it’s too late. “Sales have been relatively easy for builders to achieve over the past two years due to unprecedented demand which has led to a reduction in marketing activity for most building companies,” said Stephens. “However, as demand softens, it’s important that companies factor in the long sales cycle in the industry. This means they need to be generating opportunities right now in order to still be signing contracts in 6-12 months time.” The right understanding of the company’s operating costs, both fixed and variable, accounting for lead times, taking on specific jobs that don’t stretch the company too thin, and marking up jobs correctly to account for the materials and labor market, are all critical with a possible recession looming. As some of the jobs the home builders are completing are already booked out with a more than 18-month lead time in their schedules based on prior demand, the building companies that will still be operating in 2023 will stay close to their financials, recalculating their costs every 30 days.

How Real Estate Agents Can Sell More Homes While Working Fewer Hours

Top Property Marketing

2022 has been quite the year for the real estate market. From a surge of home prices all across the board to investors pouring in money to protect their wealth against inflation. While real estate agents are transitioning from the old-fashioned way of billboard and magazine advertising to the more calculated and scalable approach digital marketing has to offer. One company, in particular, has set its sights on capitalizing on the massive opportunity… To help residential real estate agents generate qualified appointments and close deals on demand, Hasher Azizi founded Top Property Marketing (TPM). A digital marketing agency specialized in helping agents scale their business quickly and cost-efficiently through paid advertising and automated follow-up. TPM is a completely done-for-you marketing solution, so agents can focus on what really matters: closing real estate deals. Hasher's TPM chatbots has the innate ability to recognize whether a lead is looking to buy, sell or rent a home - all while carrying out the client qualifying process. This is simply done through the lead's preferred choice of communication: Messenger, Instagram or WhatsApp, before securing them as a qualified appointment on the agent's calendar. Then further following up with leads on a weekly basis for over a year through email, SMS and chatbot communication with the agent's listings and open houses, along with tips and resources - making the buying, selling or renting process easier for their time and money. It's a near-identical experience for real estate leads who are discussing their property plans whether it's with an agent or TPM’s chatbot on the agent’s behalf.

Airbnb’s $10M OMG! Fund to Finance the World’s Craziest and Most Unique Ideas

YourUpdateTV

From a UFO house to a giant potato hotel, the growing trend of flexible living encourages travelers to seek out more unexpected places to stay. This demand has created new opportunities for creative hosts with awe-inspiring spaces to share – and now, Airbnb is helping those with an out-of-this-world idea to bring their vision to life with a $10M fund. Recently, Kristie Wolfe, host of the Big Idaho Potato Hotel and member of the OMG! Fund judging panel, conducted a satellite media tour to talk about the OMG! Fund and her experience being an Airbnb host. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/XPKfKgzbCuk The first-of-its-size OMG! Fund is seeking original and offbeat ideas from existing and aspiring designers, architects, DIYers and makers from around the globe. The fund's $10 million will finance 100 of the craziest and most unique property ideas, giving 100 people the chance to turn them into actual Airbnb OMG! Category listings, which are Airbnb’s collection of one-of-a-kind, offbeat homes. Starting June 22nd, 2022, anyone with an out-of-this world idea for an OMG! Category listing can submit an application at airbnb.com/omgfund. One hundred people with the 100 craziest ideas will receive a grant of $100,000* each to make their fantastical creations possible and, ultimately, bookable. Ideas will be judged for their uniqueness, creativity, feasibility, sustainability and how immersive an experience they might provide for guests. The fund is shaped in part by the growing trend of flexible living that has emerged in the past two years. As part of this shift, Airbnb guests are craving more unexpected spaces that become the destinations themselves, and Airbnb Categories, which launched last month, provide a new way to search for these spaces. Over 30,000 unique listings across the world were added to Airbnb in 2021 and the OMG! Category showcases the craziest amongst them, making it easy for guests to discover these listings in places they wouldn't have otherwise looked. Additionally, Hosts of unique listings saw a 138 percent increase in worldwide earnings from 2019 to 2021, with nights booked at unique properties increasing globally by over 45 percent in the same two-year timespan. Applications for the OMG! Fund open today for a period of 30 days, through July 22 at 11:59 pm ET. The 100 grant recipients will be selected by the panel over the coming months, with the intent of having several newly-constructed spaces available for booking next year. To find out more about the OMG! Fund and how to apply go to airbnb.com/omgfund About Kristie Wolfe Kristie is a proud Idahoan who is passionate about living simply. In the winter of 2013, she fulfilled a lifelong dream of building her very own treehouse in Hawaii and sharing it with travelers from around the world. From the success of that unique stay, she has since been able to build a hobbit hole, refurbish a fire lookout and, of course, has transformed an over a 6-ton spud into a space guests can sleep in!
