THE COSTS OF BUILDING A HOME

Speaker:

Andy WhiteDeveloper and Builder

BurnieMaybankTax and Economic Development Attorney

Land represents a large share of the value of homes in much of the country and S.C, these rapidly rising land values are a key driver of recent home price increases—along with labor constraints, building materials costs, and regulatory barriers. Combined, these factors make it increasingly difficult for homebuilders to construct new modest-cost housing, which could accommodate the growing demand for starter homes by millennials aging into peak home buying years. Therefore, finding ways to slow the rise in land prices will be an important part of any effort to address the continued challenge of making housing attainable for more people.

Session will discuss:

·        Horizontal and Vertical Financing

·        Construction and Infrastructure Costs

·        Attraction: Developers + Spurring Growth

·        Tax Credits

Virtual Conference #3

THE MISSING MIDDLE

John HuntMarketNsight

South Carolinians love having choices, but when it comes to where we live or how to get around, our choices can be limited. Exploring the “Missing Middle Housing” is primarily about the form and scale of these buildings, designed to provide more housing choices and to be more affordable than other new housing products currently being built. John Hunt will explore new trends to provide attainable housing.

Virtual Conference #4

Tuesday, August 25, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.

PANEL DISCUSSION WRAP-UP

How can our elected officials help? A panel of experts led by a moderator will discuss the questions and comments that we were not able to discuss in the previous 3 sessions. They will then wrap-up the exchange of ideas and solutions to propose to the SC General Assembly and provide a roadmap for the future of home attainability in South Carolina.
