About the Dayton HBA: With a mission to make the Dayton region more attractive to businesses and residents by providing superior home ownership opportunities, the Association focuses on promoting industry standards, educating members, marketing member services, and advocating responsible development.

Founded in 1942, the HBA works with local governments at the county, municipal and township level to advance the interests of the home building industry, discourage needless regulation, and otherwise create and sustain a builder-friendly environment in the Miami Valley.

The Association’s award-winning home shows — HOMEARAMA, Citirama and Rehabarama — have drawn more than a million visitors over the past 20 years. Citirama and Rehabarama have won the highest national awards of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

The HBA represents nearly 400 member firms – 80 firms engaged primarily in new residential construction, and firms providing products, services, materials or skilled craftsmanship related to new home construction. HBA members employ more than 12,000 men and women in full-time jobs throughout the Dayton Region.

Do signs point to another housing boom? Perhaps, says Dennis Fisher of Rapid Mortgage. “Home sales are poised to zoom to the highest levels since 2006 next year, according to a 2016 housing forecast issued by realtor.com®. Gains in new-home construction and existing home sales are both expected to push total home sales to the highest levels in years. The new-home construction market is expected to see the most gains in 2016, with realtor.com® forecasting a 12 percent year-over-year increase in housing starts and a 16 percent year-over-year growth in new home sales. The gains in existing-home sales are expected to be more moderate, with expectations of a 3 percent year-over-year gain.”

Third generation new home builder John Peebles was named 2016 Vice President of the Dayton Home Builders Association at the organization’s annual meeting on October 28.

A graduate of Southern Adventist University, John has been a member of the Dayton Home Builders Association Board of Directors since 2013, serving the organization as a Board Builder Member-at-Large and on the Executive Committee in 2015.

Active within the community and a Green Certified Professional, John oversees the day to day construction operations of Peebles Homes in the Miami Valley.

“I’m excited to be able to serve the housing industry of Dayton in this role. I look forward to helping our association grow and our industry to thrive!” said John in a recent interview.
