President's Message
New
Homes Benefit More Than Just Buyers and Builders
by BRANNJ President, Don DiNovi
 |
| Don DiNovi |
The only people who
benefit when a house is built are the family members who get to live there, and
the builder who constructed and sold the home, right?
Wrong. The positive
impact of new residential construction is far-reaching, bringing benefits to
families, businesses and services throughout a community immediately, as well
as for years to come.
According to economists
at the National Association of Home Builders, the one-year estimated local
impacts of building 100 single-family homes in a typical metro area include
$28.7 million in local income, $3.6 million in taxes and other local government
revenue, and 394 local jobs.
But what does that
economic impact mean in the real, day-to-day lives of community residents?
Just think about it.
When a family moves to a community and buys a new house, they will likely shop
at local stores to buy furniture and accessories to decorate the home. They
will fill their car’s gas tank at local gas stations so they can get to the
stores, have local mechanics work on the car when it breaks down or needs the
oil changed, or buy a new car at a local dealer when it’s time to replace the
old one.
The family may need
to hire local companies for regular services to maintain their home, such as
landscaping, house cleaning, pet sitters or pool upkeep.
The children will enroll
in local schools. This increases enrollment, meaning more teachers, janitors,
cafeteria workers and other school support staff will need to be hired. Those
kids will also join sports leagues and other activities, buy equipment and pay
registration fees that provide stipends for referees and coaches.
All of this economic activity
puts income into the pockets of local business owners and their families, who
can then afford to go out and spend money themselves, which recycles even more
money into the community’s economy.
The new family also
pays local and state taxes. These tax revenues help pay for a wide range of
government services, including school teachers, police departments, refuse
collection, parks maintenance and road repairs.
Over the long term, as
the families who move into new homes become part of the community, their
positive impact continues. NAHB estimates that those 100 new homes also provide
the community with additional, annually-recurring impacts of $4.1 million in
local income, $1 million in taxes and other revenue for local governments, and
69 local jobs.
Families who buy a
newly built home enjoy benefits including safety, amenities, energy efficiency
and floor plans to fit a modern lifestyle. But the advantages of new homes
extend far beyond the buyers and the builders—residential construction has a
positive, direct impact on the local community for years.
Regards,
Don
