New Construction Start to Finish Daily Videos
What would it look like to watch a new construction start to finish?
Last week they broke ground at a lot on Thursday June 17th, 2021 and completed that excavation on Friday June 18th, 2021. Yes, there was a purchase of the lot, a dig safe order, and a survey ahead of the excavation yet I started with the excavation for video documentation purposes.
Before I continue with the video links of the construction coverage shown below, for those who wish to just start searching for new construction, New Construction in Eastern Kansas & Western Missouri will show you all the new construction homes (253 as of today's date) for Topeka KS on the west to Lawrence KS to Overland Park KS to Kansas City MO to Lees Summit MO to Warrensburg MO on the east and Saint Joseph's MO on the north to Atchison KS to Leavenworth to Olathe to Ottawa to Linn Valley to Ft. Scott KS on the south.

A bit about the market at the time of breaking ground...
1) Builders are altering their standard new construction contracts with A) No set closing date and B) No set price
2) Builders are experiencing delays where cabinets, for example, used to take 10 days to arrive are now taking 4 months to arrive
3) Builders are having to pay triple the price for lumber
4) Builders higher new construction costs and delays have made entry level new construction impossible
5) Builders are aware of the Fed likely raising interest rates quickly to ward off inflation as the Fed is forecasting 3.4% inflation for 2021 and 2.1% for 2022 which means builders will have to charge more tonew construction house buyers to cover their higher interest payments
6) Builders have lost many workers who chose to stay home and collect unemployment benefits
7) Builders know unemployment benefits just ended in Missouri for gig workers and those who are self-employed and it is expected for Kansas to end those benefots soon as well so they will be starting to get some of their lost work force back
8) Builders are aware some of their lost workforce won't be back as new business applications jumped 24% last year and remain high for 2021 meaning continued delays due to lack of workers in new construction
9) Builders have been recruiting laborers from other construction sites in an effort to build their workforce back up
10) Builders have been getting only 25% of the building permits in the past 5 years so there has been a 75% shortage for five years now which is one of the causes of the housing shortage we have been experiencing
11) Builders are aware that buyers who haven't been able to purchase a new construction house are now having to rent which is making for a rental property shortage which builders are beginning to shift more and more from single family new construction to multi-family new construction rental properties which will cause an even greater single family housing shortage than we have already
12) Builders know single family houses have fallen from 1,620 houses available in one city's market to only 56 single family houses when there is a demand for thousands of houses in that city
