Executive Summary
New home permit issuance for the three-county area (Collier, Lee & Charlotte) totaled 4,751 for the
2nd quarter of 2018. This being the highest quarterly recording since the 2nd quarter of 2006, or the
past 12 years. Median sale prices for single family detached homes in the second quarter also reached
their highest levels since 2007 in all three counties. A spike in the average home sale prices also
accompanied the rise in the median sale prices, which typically signals strength at the high-end. We
believe this may be a product of the new federal tax reforms that were passed in late-2017. One of
the biggest changes to the new federal tax reform that was passed is the elimination of the deduction
for state income tax. The ability to deduct state income tax from federal income tax has unjustly
incentivized some states to spend without limit in the past. These states just kept increasing state
income tax at the expense of other states that did not have state income tax to deduct. Eliminating
the state income tax deductions levels the playing field among states and forces them to be
competitive. This is highly advantageous for Florida who is starting with a budgetary mindset that
already accounts for this reform, not to mention the warm southern weather and business friendly
environment, all while the high tax states duke it out and find new avenues of taxation to remain
fiscally solvent. Over the coming years as this plays out, we believe housing and jobs will be positively
impacted here in Florida in general relative to the rest of the country. Locally, we have already seen
many who live in high state income tax states switch their primary residence to a home they own
here in Southwest Florida.
As Land Solutions prepares to move forward, our forecast for the next 12 months calls for new
residential unit permit issuance to be slightly negative (-9% to -7%) and for home prices to be
relatively flat (-3% to 2%) overall. Current home prices in Lee and Charlotte Counties are nearing
their peak figures experienced in Q3 2006 – Q2 2007, while prices in Collier County are still roughly
15% below what was experienced back then. Primary home demand from full time residents will
likely remain fairly strong in the more affordable areas such as Cape Coral, Golden Gate Estates,
Lehigh Acres and Charlotte County as a whole. Baby Boomer retirees will also continue to fuel
demand for new housing. Fear of rising interest rates as well as an increase in boomerang buyers
(buyers who previously defaulted on a mortgage) will likely be catalysts driving demand over the
next year. After seven years, most negative inputs on an individual’s credit report lapse; thus,
allowing them more economic freedom to obtain a mortgage. This would apply to individuals who
had defaults prior to the third quarter of 2011.

Socioeconomic Conditions
Population
Southwest Florida continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in the nation. Growth is attributed
to in-migration, mostly from Northeastern and Midwestern states; however, foreign migration and
intrastate migration are also significant factors for growth. U.S. Census Population Estimates,
updated on March 22, 2018, showing the recent growth can be seen in the graph below. The data
highlights population estimates as of July 1st each year through 2017. It shows Southwest Florida
continuing to experience significant gains in population with a 2.16% gain (or 27,379 people) in 2017
over 2016 for Collier, Lee, and Charlotte Counties combined. If you divide the population gain
(27,379) by the average household size in Southwest Florida over the past five years (2.55), we get
the number of new residential units (10,737) needed to support our current annual level of
population growth (27,379). There were 14,223 new residential units permitted in Southwest
Florida over the past 12 months (July 1, 2017 - June, 30 2018).

The University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) released their
updated population projections through 2045 on June 28, 2018, which can be seen below for each
county. Lee County’s population is expected to grow 43.4% from 2017 (U.S. Census) to 2045 (BEBR),
which is the third highest percentage gain for any county in the state of Florida with a current
population of 350,000 residents or more. Only Orange County and Osceola County has a higher
projected percentage increase.
Collier County’s population is expected to grow 38.7% from 2017 to 2045, which is the sixth highest
percentage gain for any Florida county with at least 350,000 current residents; trailing Orange,
Osceola, Lee, Manatee, and Hillsborough Counties. There were 18 counties in Florida with at least
350,000 residents, according to the U.S. Census figures as of July 1, 2017.

Population growth from migration can be seen in the following chart broken out into foreign and
domestic migration into Collier, Lee, and Charlotte Counties combined. Total migration turned
slightly negative in 2009 but has since rebounded quite positively. This data is derived from the U.S.
Census and represents figures as of July 1st of each year.

Future growth in Southwest Florida will be due largely to record numbers of Baby Boomers retiring
and migrating south. Southwest Florida has and will continue to appeal greatly to affluent Baby
Boomers who are looking for sun, beaches, boating, and championship golf. Foreign migration is also
expected to grow to record levels in Southwest Florida over the coming years, which will be aided by
an increase in international flights at Southwest Florida International Airport.

7
Airport Traffic
Growth in passenger air traffic usually portends population growth. Passenger traffic figures at
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) concur with that notion, as seen in the following
graph. Passenger traffic has increased 69.8% between 2000 – 2017 while the population increased
54.0% over the same time period for the three-county area.

Passenger traffic at RSW increased 5.16% through the second quarter of 2018 over the same period
from the prior year. Monthly passenger traffic reached new record highs for eight out of the past nine
months. In February 2018, RSW surpassed 9,000,000 passengers on a rolling 12-month annual basis.
This figure is significant for single runway airports like RSW because it typically signals that the
airport is at critical mass and a second runway is needed. Plans for a second runway and terminal
expansion are currently in the design phase. Solicits for construction bids are expected to go out in
mid-to-late 2019 with construction to start soon after.

Charlotte County Airport (PGD) has been able to attract and maintain a regional carrier over the
past seven years, which has led to significant growth in passenger air traffic for Charlotte County.
Currently, the only carrier at the Charlotte County Airport is Allegiant Air with services to 40 U.S.
cities in the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast. Passenger traffic for the airport over the past 12
months was 1,467,616 passengers. To put those figures into perspective, the Sarasota/Bradenton
International Airport saw 1,211,709 passengers over the past twelve months. The chart below
highlights the converging trend of the two airports from 2009 to present.

Looking at 2018, the Charlotte County Airport experienced a 25.50% increase in passenger traffic
through the second quarter, over figures from the same time period in 2017. Charlotte County
Airport will be a major economic driver in the future, which is likely to present ample opportunities
for homebuilders, developers and the like.
The other two major airports on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Sarasota/Bradenton Airport and Tampa
International Airport, saw a 4.48% increase and 8.90% increase respectively in passenger traffic
through the second quarter of 2018 over figures from the same time period in 2017.

10
Age Distribution
Due to a large number of Baby Boomers coupled with a declining birth rate, the U.S. population is
getting older. Data from the U.S. Census 2016 ACS (American Community Survey) supports this
notion in Southwest Florida. The table below shows the population changes by age groupings. Data
for the U.S. Census 2016 ACS was released in September 2017. Data from the 2017 ACS is scheduled
to be released in September 2018.

older.

11
Further BEBR projections of people 55 and older, released on June 28, 2018, indicate a population
increase of 58.5% by 2045 over 2017 data for Collier, Lee, and Charlotte Counties combined.
The aging population almost certainly ensures an increase in housing demand from older, more
affluent empty nesters and retirees in Southwest Florida moving forward.

12
School Enrollments
Southwest Florida school enrollments saw an overall declined in the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009
school years. As a result of the 2004-2007 run-up in real estate prices, many young families opted for
less expensive areas to raise their families. Families continued to exit the market when
unemployment began to spike in 2008 due to the economic downturn. Enrollment figures; however,
from the past nine school years showed a reversing trend to positive growth in Lee and Collier
Counties, while Charlotte County enrollment continued to decline. The decline in Charlotte County
seems to have finally started to flatten. This leads us to believe the prevailing trend is about to reverse
course in the years ahead. Enrollment growth is indicative of an improving job market in Southwest
Florida. Enrollment trends are depicted in the following graphs.

Migration
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides annual migration data based on the addresses from
annual tax returns received and compared year over year. IRS migration data captures roughly 80%
of all United States residents but excludes those lower income residents who do not need to file a
return. While it does not capture all migration, it does represent data regarding migrants who have
the ability to purchase a home in Southwest Florida.
Data depicted in the following tables is from the 2016 tax year, which was released on November 30,
2017. Data for the 2017 tax year is scheduled to be released in October 2018. The data below shows
the top originating counties and states for in-migrants.

Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres Lot Sales Trends
The real estate bust of 2008/2009 led to a massive decline in single family lot prices in Cape Coral
and Lehigh Acres. The average selling price for a lot in Lehigh Acres and Cape Coral fell about 92%-
95% from their peak in late 2005 and have since rebounded. Sale prices for these lots started to show
healthy gains in 2013 and continued into early 2016. As we approached the end of 2016/beginning
of 2017, we started to see lot prices in Cape Coral plateau. We expect to see the same phenomenon
play out in Lehigh Acres over the next year. The following charts indicate average lot sale trends in
those markets for lots under 0.33 acres on a monthly basis. Lot data for Cape Coral only pertains to
non-waterfront lots.

Construction Material Indexes
The following graphs produced by Ken Simonson, Chief Economist for the Associated General
Contractors (AGC) of America, show price indices for various construction materials with a base
starting point of May, 2016. Higher material costs are a concern because they make new homes less
competitive against re-sales.
