inflation is rising faster than income, purchasing
power for some is reduced, and home inventory
has lessened as people are choosing to live in theirs
longer.
is that lead times that might have previously been
six weeks have increased to 26 weeks.
" Beginning in Q3 2020, supply-chain dis " In
response to rising inflation, the Fed is expected
to change its stance on monetary policy,
moving away from its near-zero interest rate policies, "
said Manuel Gutierrez, consulting economist
for the NKBA. " Any move to tame inflation
will be gradual, with increases in the Federal
Funds Rate potentially ranging from 0.25% to
0.50% every one or two months in 2022. "
According to the National Association of
Realtors' Existing-Home Sales data, as of press
time there were 1.11 million homes available for
sale, down 9.8% from the previous month and
down 13.3% from 1.28 million one year ago.
At the current sales pace, this KBB 2022 outlook
represents a 2.1-month supply of inventory,
continuing to indicate a high demand and low
supply of houses.
SUPPLY-CHAIN AND BUILDING
MATERIAL CHALLENGES
Despite these two major COVID-related strains
that are upon us, like the rising cost of caulk, metal
and lumber, many new-build and remodeling
projects are still moving forward. The difference
ruption has been the top challenge reported by
NKBA members in the 'NKBA/John Burns
Kitchen & Bath Market Index,' " said Darcy, who
also noted cost of materials, availability of skilled
laborers, cost inflation and capacity shortages as
additional hurdles. " Congested ports and labor
and material shortages further compound already
strained supply chains. Cost inflation is putting
upward pressure on products and materials, forcing
some consumers to defer their remodeling
projects to 2022. Despite these challenges and
concerns, kitchen and bath industry firms remain
largely optimistic about continued demand and
sales growth into 2022. "
The collective consensus from our panel of
experts is that solving these problems will be
an ongoing process for 2022 and that suppliers
and design professionals are working hard to
find alternative solutions. Darcy cited several of
those, including switching to domestic suppliers
to reduce delivery times, specifying products
and brands never previously used to maintain
supplies for clients and retailers and manufacturers
stockpiling products and raw materials
whenever possible.

THE UNEXPECTED FROM 2021
" The real jump in townhome
spending, inner suburb
demand and second-home
markets heating up were all a
bit of a surprise. "
DIETZ, NAHB
" As a designer, I think 2021 felt like warp speed after
2020 because we toggled between both
in-person and Zoom activities and commitments as
we emerged in public spaces again. "
NOBLE, ASID
" We have been in this pandemic for so long,
but it has been a good thing to see how well
our contractors and remodelers have adapted
to working in this environment. "
EGNER, NARI
" Despite a large number of very
significant industry challenges,
consumer demand for kitchen
and bath products remained
strong in 2021. "
