MRG poll shows 1/3 of Michigan citizens believe their communities don't have adequate housing options. We agree! https://t.co/zHufMbYQ7q

[Bob Filka @Mihomebuilders]

While this is a national survey the sentiment is similar here. Collectively, these issues push the industry to concentrate almost exclusively on higher priced homes. Does your community have adequate housing options for the average citizen?

[NAHB 🏠 @NAHBhome]

Labor is now the top concern for home builders in early 2019. In 2018, materials prices were cited by 87% of builders as a significant issue. This year, that number has fallen to 69%. Now "cost/availability of labor" has taken over as the top concern. https://t.co/p5xKsTCCJ4

[Bob Filka @Mihomebuilders]

State law allows builders some new options for building that can save time and money. We've produced a book outlining those most cost-effective options https://t.co/bPjhtU0oFm

[Bob Filka @Mihomebuilders]

Despite our state’s housing challenges we’re still more competitive than most of the country. https://t.co/lzb1gFZOSy

@JDHornski @briancalley Hey JD, l’ll check...big issue for the industry... the cost of an average home has increased by nearly $10,000 as a result. I can tell you that our congressional delegation has gotten very involved in urging resolution (as has our National Association of Home Builders).

[Bob Filka @Mihomebuilders]

Builders endorse Brian Calley for Governor. When you have a candidate that has championed policy changes that have brought our state back & when you have a candidate that is smart & puts the state's best interests ahead of politics, you support him! Vote Calley @briancalley

Preparation for 28th Annual Parade of Homes hosted by @HBAWMI Homes are being staged ahead of the event which runs from June 8-16. Contractors are encouraging young people to tour properties to learn more about trade skills & home construction business. 23 homes will be displayed

[Bob Filka @Mihomebuilders]

On the heels of Memorial Day, very happy to say we delivered a change that enables Veterans to more easily purchase homes in our state.

Michigan's growth in new home construction exceeded national average in 2017. Can that continue given constraints facing industry? https://t.co/AGRkiYpxsG
