DOUG McCULLOCH President The gain occurred entirely on the multifamily side, with single-family housing production falling 4.2 percent to 432,000 units. “Builders are very reluctant to build more homes in view of the current state of the economy and weak buyer demand,” noted Bob Jones, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. “Right now the housing market is essentially in a holding pattern,” acknowledged NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. “As our latest member surveys have indicated, builders are seeing greater hesitancy among potential home buyers who are uncertain about what’s in store for the economy and jobs going forward. That said, favorable home buying conditions including historically low mortgage rates and low house prices should help spur additional demand as the job market gradually improves later this year.” The entire 1.7 percent gain in housing production this July was due to a 32.6 percent jump on the more volatile multifamily side, which brought that sector back closer to trend at a 114,000-unit rate following a major dip in the previous month. Meanwhile, single-family housing production declined 4.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 432,000 units, its lowest mark since May of 2009. Two regions registered improved starts activity in July, with the Northeast and Midwest each posting double-digit gains, of 30.5 percent and 10.7 percent, respectively. The South, which is the country’s largest housing market, posted a 6.3 percent decline in starts this July, while the West posted no change in starts activity. Permit issuance, which can be an indicator of future building activity, declined 3.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rateof565,000unitsinJuly.Single-familypermitsfell1.2percent to 416,000 units, while multifamily permits fell 8 percent to 149,000 units. Regionally, permits fell nearly 26 percent in the Northeast, 1.1 percent in the Midwest, and 4.9 percent in the West, but gained 3.9 percent in the South in July.

To assist in the presentation, Christie introduced Chip Filer, current executive director of HHH, and Sandy Monson, executive director of Streams & Valleys. The HHH was organized as part of the 1982 Centennial of Wichita Falls. Christie noted that consultants to the Centennial Committee suggested a “rocking chair contest” to highlight the activities. “We decided on a 100-mile bike ride instead.” A total of 1,200 riders participated in that first ride. Owner of Guarantee Title Company and a longtime community leader, Christie said the four-day event, set for the weekend of August 28, “will be an opportunity to put our best foot forward and get the world involved in Wichita Falls.” It is the largest single-day bicycle event in the nation. “It is a year-around process to make this event a success. We bring together social services, medical services, and all levels of government to plain and make it a success. Profits from the event are put back into the community to fund projects like the Falls Campaign, the Wee-ChiTah sculpture, the city hike and bike trail, the River Bend Nature Center, and the MSU Bicycle Racing Team.” Riders can choose any of several distances to ride - up to a 100 miles. In addition to the ride, the fourday event also includes a road race, Criterium Races on Friday and Sunday, and an off-road bike race. He said every hotel within 60 miles of the city will be filled for the event. Riders from every state in the country plus riders representing 10 nations will be in our city for the ride. “Our Host Home” program that places riders in area homes is another way we’ve made friends with the world.” There’s also a consumer show where more than 100 vendors will display items. It will be held in the MPEC Exhibit Hall. Vendors include manufacturers, retailers, health and fitness companies show their latest products and provide information such as medical education, cycling information and more. The restaurant association will feed approximately 4,000 riders at the Friday night Spaghetti Dinner. Christie noted, “This event brings in a lot of tax revenue for the city. Close to 30,000 persons come to Wichita Falls for this event.” North Texas Home Builders Association President Doug McCulloch announced that the Greenbelt Show will be held in Dallas Oct. 14-16. Long-time member Dub Dennis will be inducted into the Texas Association of Builders Hall of Fame during the Greenbelt Show. He also said the association will stage a four-person scramble golf tournament on Thursday, September 23, at River Creek Golf Course. Chip Filer, Doug McCulloch, Roby Christie, Dennis Probst, and Sandy Monson are shown at the August home builders’ luncheon.
