After seeing the virtual reality transformation that could be accomplished they was not question but to renovate. The renovations gave this house exactly what the owners needed for their family. This home is located on a popular lake and fell behind in both design and upkeep. When entering the home it was stepping back into 1970’s. All of the renovations within the home truly lightened up the space while bringing in better views of the lake along with an additional bedroom allowing the family to continue their gatherings for generations to come. Now everyone can enjoy the lake at it’s best. This historic farm house built in 1900 was in desperate need of a kitchen remodel. The client requested to include current features with a high-end historic look. The final renovations did exactly as the client asked and brought older country charm into the current times. Adding nostalgia is the custom cabinetry made from cherry trees off of the 40 acre farm. ׉ 7cassandra://7UtlgZMmONmwl2XWfOGPim1p7QpG_H6iHwYhuqby0_A4%`Zr(BZr(A(בCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://kyQM9bZP59I9OirpvcE0zspSC6Qqkw0WxqSN6jWsUHA ^`׉ 7cassandra://8tMVLb4V3hi5-dOcTpxpxZQzyC_nOk71ENgY7NldbHQ`s׉ 7cassandra://q_XAANPFZVgLlWFc-cE_GEt1V7U-n25K0g7mWPr51pU6`׉ 7cassandra://JI8wGciB3xvwgz6N0nGB9TiaeyQICy_hT4ec_Hcn2cA{(͠]Zr(Cט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://i4lmZI3U930hKHzsQZexm-K0hxlK_uCzg02TclAVNn8l`׉ 7cassandra://UkLWph6QMYLzE6CRSQKTheuWrxFI6SKRbB4gwg-Afcoy`s׉ 7cassandra://VyHnhNgZNK8idn3Zdh3RLyDj526qvl7FLYoqUBVUArw%`׉ 7cassandra://BP4Y9K5op5cZHu85B-xuV44eXPI4KPV8ORimTrFGfect.͠]Zr(DנZr(k9ׁHhttp://www.stlouisvaloans.comׁ ׁ ЈנZr(jm̯9ׁHmailto:mdapkus@vu.comׁ ׁ ЈנZr(i9ׁHhttp://www.rosecreeklumber.comׁ ׁ ЈנZr(h~9ׁHmailto:rclumberco@gmail.comׁ ׁ ЈנZr(g89ׁHhttp://www.illinoiscloset.comׁ ׁ ЈנZr(f9ׁHmailto:paul@illinoiscloset.comׁ ׁ Ј׉EEconomic Forecast 2018: Like 2017 But Slightly Better The combination of solid, widespread global growth; strong labor markets; low inflation; improving commodity prices; a slightly weaker dollar; and continued easy monetary policy from most central banks sets the stage for a good year. Moreover, the recently passed front-loaded tax cuts here in the US will help by adding a pleasant tailwind to the domestic economy. The possibility of increases in infrastructure and defense spending, along with the continued deregulatory efforts of the Trump administration, make the domestic economic landscape heading into 2018 as strong as it has been since the end of the Great Recession. However, there are also economic headwinds. The fear of inflation could spook the Federal Reserve to raise rates more rapidly than expected, which would slow growth and unsettle financial markets. A large confidence-shattering drop in the stock market, for any number of reasons, might hurt the economy. With the now low tax rate on repatriated earnings, American firms might bring back substantial profits from abroad, and in the process, boost the dollar, which will hurt manufacturing activity. Lastly, geopolitical problems always lurk and could easily have negative growth implications. With all this in mind, I expect full-year 2018 GDP to come in at 2.6%, slightly higher than the 2.3% growth experienced last year and the 2.1% average rate of growth since the end of the Great Recession. Headline inflation looks to pick up from roughly 2% to 2.3% in 2018, while core inflation (which excludes food and energy) will edge up only slightly. Because of the slow rise in core inflation, the Federal Reserve will probably have the luxury of time to raise the federal funds rate from where it is now, at 1.375%, to 2.125% by year’s end, with a quarter-point rate increase roughly every three or four months with the first one in March. Turning our attention to the labor market, I expect net new monthly job growth to average 150,000/month, which, while down from 167,000/month in 2017, is excellent given that 10 we are late in the business cycle and few potential workers remain on the sidelines. The unemployment rate will fall from 4.1% today to 3.6% or even 3.5% by year end, a rate not seen since the late 1960s! As the labor market tightens, nominal wage growth should increase in 2018, with average annual wage increases rising from 2.4% to 2.75% and as much as 3% by the end of the year: a healthy rise. Because of faster GDP growth and the falling unemployment rate, 10-year Treasuries will end 2018 at 2.75%, and the rate on 30-year mortgages will be at or near 4.40%. However, continued easing of credit conditions and rising consumer spending due to continued strong employment growth and better wage growth will keep the economy and housing market on track. Despite passage of the new tax bill, which is likely to modestly slow home sales and house price appreciation in some high -cost areas because of the reduced benefits of homeownership, housing starts should increase by about 7%, to 1.29 million. Single-family starts will likely total 930,000, up from 850,000, while multifamily starts should flatline at about 360,000. New and existing home sales should collectively rise by about 3% and end the year at 6.35 million, with mortgage purchase volume advancing by $100 billion, and refinance activity falling by about $200 billion due to the rise in mortgage rates. Housing inventories will, regrettably, remain unchanged, and combined with limited new home building, home prices will rise by 5%. Motor vehicle sales will slip to 16.5 million from 17.1 million and the chances of a recession in 2018 is low given the very solid global economic conditions that currently prevail. I peg the chances of a recession in 2018 at just 15%.

The second largest trade show in North America attracted an estimated 87,000 builders and associates from around the world. Held in conjunction with the Kitchen & Bath Show, there is no place on Earth to learn more in one week about your business, your association, and your industry. Here are some bullets of information I gathered at this year’s IBS. Government Affairs 1. Tax Reform has landed and it is now time for all of us to take a deep dive into how it will affect our individual & business taxes. NAHB is creating a webinar for this that will be available to all members and HBAI has requested a knowledgeable NAHB staffer to come to our state to provide guidance on what you need to know about tax reform. 2. Did you know that dropping the cap on home mortgage interest deduction from $1 million to $750,000 still includes 98.7% of all home mortgages in the U.S.? This may be a loss to us, but it wasn’t a bad one. 3. 34 million Americans filed itemized tax forms for their 2016 taxes. It is estimated that this number will drop to 14 million. Will that be bad for home ownership or will increased net income mean more home buying? 4. The price of softwood lumber and drywall may go up so Association Affairs  The NAHB Board of Directors passed the Governance Bylaw changes allowing a more executive style board (corporate council) to operate most NAHB matters. The 1200 member BOD will be referred to as Delegates in the future and will still have the ultimate authority to make bylaw changes.  Sooner or later, NAHB wants to go to a centralized, online membership payment process. Illinois State & Local Associations need to work together now to discuss our needs for functioning in a centralized, online system. We want every local to have a system that easily pays dues, makes payments for special events, and allows negative PAC fund checkoffs.  A third meeting of the NAHB Board of Directors will be put back into place in 2019. The IBS, a Mid-Year meeting in Washington, D.C., and third meeting that moves around the country will be back on the calendar like it was for many years.  Did you know that National Area Chair, Mike Nagel from Illinois, sponsored the resolution to bring back the third meeting?  Chuck Fowke of Tampa, Florida defeated Fred Hoppe of Lincoln, Nebraska for 3rd Vice Chair at NAHB. Randy Noel of La Place, Louisiana was unanimously installed as the Chairman of the Board for NAHB.  Kevin Chaffin is once again our State Representative to NAHB from Illinois and will have a seat on the new Corporate Council once it is initiated. You can experience the same when you attend the 2019 IBS in Las Vegas - February 18, 19, & 20th 12 much this year that NAHB has developed a “cost adjustment clause” for builders to place in their contracts to protect their profit margins. Call or write for more information. 5. 2017 was the most expensive year for natural disaster damage. Stronger building codes could result from this. 6. New Construction is back in the House Flood Insurance bill. This is good. 7. U.S. EPA is working on a new rule to replace the Obama WOTUS rule. U.S. Supreme Court to rule on WOTUS this year. 8. Bring Housing Home is scheduled for April 30 thru May 5, 2018. Do you know what that is? Call or write for more information. 9. NAHB wants President Trump to move on the Dreamers issue. We need to solve the Visa issue for our industry. Politics  There will be 45 open seats in the U.S. Representative 2018 elections; 30 of those seats are in Republican districts.  11 Democratic Senators are running for reelection in Republican States.  Arizona will have two open seats with the eminent departure of Senator John McCain.  4. BuildPAC has raised $1.2 million in this election cycle (2017/2018). Their goal is to raise $3 million in total this year. ׉ 7cassandra://Y0wv_uNDLIHQ7M2ASIV9D4jMJzOsroH7e9tF0MtQzSQ.`Zr(I׉EfThe show was an exciting time for our organization as our HBA was recognized for hard work and contributions made to the industry!
