I don't know if you know that, but for tracing buildings you can use the 
buildings_tools plugin. It already draw a rectangle shape and automatically 
fill it with tag building=yes. More info in the wiki - 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/BuildingsTools altogether with 
a link to the short tutorial video

Best,
