2009 RESIDENTIAL General Overview The Hampton Roads Residential Market statistics covered in this report analyze the new home building industry and the existing home sales activity for the year 2008. Included are the cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Poquoson, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, and Williamsburg, and the counties of Gloucester, Isle of Wight, James City, Southampton, and York. The new construction data contained in this report was gathered from the actual deeds recorded and from the building permits issued by each city or county. The sales data and existing home closings data was gathered from the Real Estate Information Network. THE YEAR IN REVIEW 2008 was a year of challenges for the Hampton Roads real estate market. The average closing prices for new and existing homes experienced a decline in 2008, correcting the unsustainable run-up in prices that occurred in 2004 and 2005. The market continues its period of readjustment. The number of new, residential building permits issued in 2008 decreased 32.8% to 3,380 permits as the focus of builders turned to selling current inventory instead of to-be-built homes. This is the fewest amount of new residential permits issued in one year since Residential DataBank began tracking data in 1984. There were 496 permits issued in the fourth quarter, a decrease of 42% from the fourth quarter of 2007. The number of new, residential building permits issued in 2008 decreased 32.8% to 3,380 permits as the focus of builders turned to selling current inventory instead of to-be-built homes. New construction closings were the fewest number recorded since 1984. There were 3,311 total closings for new homes in Hampton Roads, a decline of 19.9% from 2007. The largest downturn occurred in the fourth quarter, with closings down 29.3% year over the previous year s final quarter. By the end of 2008, the existing home market ended with a 24.9% reduction in closings as compared to 2007. A total of 13,957 existing homes closed in 2008, which was 4,631 less than 2007. There were 2,676 existing home closings reported during the fourth quarter, a decline of 24.5% year over year. 2009 Hampton Roads Real Estate Market Review 58

NEW CONSTRUCTION For 2008, the average price of a new construction, single-family, detached home in Hampton Roads was $400,494, down 7.1% from 2007. Williamsburg had the highest average closing price, but as this number is calculated on only six closings it may not be a true indicator of average price. Virginia Beach had the largest number of closings with an average price of $492,281.

Each of these areas has several high end, custom home communities; just one or two high end closings are capable of elevating the average closing price. The largest percent decline in average price was in Gloucester County where the average price for a new, single-family, detached home dropped 16.2% to $269,941. This drop in average price can be attributed to Centex Homes significantly lowering prices in both Courthouse Square and Courthouse Spring, where the average price of 87 closings was $251,425. The average closing price for a multi-story condominium unit during 2008 was $411,907, down 16.9% from 2007. Multi-story buildings are defined as flat over flat buildings with 3 or more stories and, with the exception of Southmoor at Ridgely Manor, are elevator served. Currently, only a few cities/counties in Hampton Roads have new construction, multi-story buildings: Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Newport News and James City County. All experienced increases in average closing price, except for Virginia Beach where the average price dropped 42.8% from 2007 to $445,813. Southmoor Village at Ridgely Manor, the #1 new construction community in Hampton Roads for 2008, based on permits and closings. Built by Dragas Homes. The decline in Virginia Beach s average closing price is due to the introduction of Southmoor at Ridgely Manor in Virginia Beach by Dragas Homes. Southmoor was the #1 new construction community in Hampton Roads for 2008. Closings began in March and, through December, there were 86 closings recorded. These 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1,340 square foot units had an average closing price of $183,845. This number of closings was substantial enough to offset numerous $1 million+ closings in several multi-story buildings in Virginia Beach. 2009 Hampton Roads Real Estate Market Review 60

The average closing price of a multiplex condominium unit was $238,550, down 3.2% from 2007. Representative examples of multiplex condominium units are the classic Dragas fourplex product and the Franciscus ten-plex product. Chesapeake experienced the largest drop in average closing price, down 16.1% to $251,412. Again, the drop in average closing price can be attributed to the introduction of a new, less expensive community and not necessarily a decline in average value. Brighton Park at Greenbrier is one of the latest multiplex communities in Hampton Roads. When complete the Dragas community will have 240 multiplex units in two different, fourplex product lines. In 2008, Brighton Park accounted for more than half of all multiplex closings in Chesapeake and the average closing price was $200,434.

2009 RESIDENTIAL In contrast, James City County experienced a 26.9% increase in average closing price to $285,691. This is due to closings in the new, larger section of Braemar Creek by Franciscus Homes and the new Villa Development community, Villas at Five Forks. Graph II New Construction Closings Product Mix 2008 The average closing price for townhomes and duplexes in Hampton Roads dropped 4.1% from 2007 to $292,522. All areas experienced declines in average closing price, except for Virginia Beach and James City County with increases of 1.3% and 8.0% respectively. The largest decline was in Norfolk where the average price dropped 27.5% from 2007 to $326,910. A part of the decline in Norfolk is due to a fairly large price reduction on the townhomes in The Landings at Bolling Square by Collins Enterprises. Overall, the average price for a new construction home in Hampton Roads was $361,720 for 2008, down 6.7% from 2007. As seen in Table II, the overall average price continued to drop throughout the year and the fourth quarter average was down 15.8% from the previous fourth quarter. 56% Single Family Detached 22% Townhome/ Duplex 12% Multi-Story 10% Multi-Plex EXISTING HOMES The overall average closing price for an existing home during 2008 in Hampton Roads was $251,115, down 4% from 2007. James City County had the highest average closing price for an existing home with $356,761, on par with the average of 2007. Gloucester County had the highest decline in average price, down 11.7% to $230,442. On average, existing homes in Hampton Roads sold for 86.1% of the original listing price. The fourth quarter average for Hampton Roads was $241,309, down 4.2%, from the fourth quarter of 2007. Throughout most of 2008, the average closing price of existing homes continued to decline and, as the market continues to correct, the decline is likely to continue. For 2008, the average price for an existing detached home in Hampton Roads was $267,123, a decline of 5.8% from 2007. James City County had the highest average closing price reported during the year at $377,392, although this is a loss of 4% from 2007. The largest decline in average price was in Gloucester County with a decline of 12% down to $231,407. Existing detached homes in Hampton Roads on average sold for 84.6% of the original listing price. The average price for the fourth quarter was at $255,468, down 6.1% year over year. Existing attached homes in Hampton Roads had an average closing price of $199,335 during 2008.

James City County had the only notable increase in average closing price with a 14.3% increase to $245,355. On average, attached homes sold for 94% of the original listing price. The average price during the fourth quarter was $193,212, down 1.1% from year ago numbers. 2009 Hampton Roads Real Estate Market Review 62

INDIVIDUAL MARKET SEGMENTS Single-Family Detached is still the dominant type of housing in Hampton Roads. For 2008, more than 67% of all new residential building permits issued in Hampton Roads were for detached housing. There were 2,280 permits issued, down 36.4% from 2007. Chesapeake had the largest number of permits issued, with 413 (18%) issued for the year. All municipalities experienced large declines in the number of permits issued, most notably Portsmouth, James City County and York County. Portsmouth had the largest percent decline in permits issued, with a 51.1% decline. This is due in large part to the slowed sales pace at New Port by Chesapeake Homes. In 2008, detached housing accounted for 56% of the new construction closing market. There were 1,832 new construction closings recorded in 2008. This is a decrease of 26.5% from the previous year. The largest percent decline occurred in York County, down 52.5% to 115 closings recorded for the year. In 2008, detached housing accounted for 56% of the new construction closing market. There were 1,832 new construction closings recorded in 2008. This is a decrease of 26.5% from the previous year. Portsmouth, Gloucester County, and Williamsburg each experienced increases in the number of closings with 59.3%, 24.2% and 50% increases respectively. The increase in Williamsburg is based on a small number of closings (6). The increase in Portsmouth is due to the success at Kings Gate Crossing, a Pace Construction community located off of Airline Boulevard which accounted for 39.5% of all detached closings in Portsmouth. Homes there range in size from 1,725 to 2,175 square feet and for 2008 had an average price of $253,595.

2009 RESIDENTIAL the abundance of inventory in the market, permits were down 16.9% from 2007 with only 111 issued. Closings were up 38.9% to 411 closings records, due in large part to Southmoor at Ridgely Manor. Norfolk experienced a 35.2% loss during 2008, with 94 closings for the year. With regard to elevator served buildings, the top multi-story condominium for 2008 was the Westin Residences at Town Center. There were 61 closings, with an average price of $739,622. Based on the sales pace of 2008, Hampton Roads has a current supply of more than 5 years of multi-story inventory. Multi-Plex condominium permits accounted for 22.9% of all new, attached housing permits issued in Hampton Roads during 2008. There were 252 permits issued, a decline of 29% from 2007. The largest decline occurred in Isle of Wight County, down 81.5% to 10 permits for the year. Graph IV 100% Market Share for Attached Homes Closings by Price Range There were 329 multi-plex condominium closings recorded in 2008. This is a decline of 31.9% from 2007. All areas suffered declines except for Chesapeake and Suffolk where the introduction of affordable product lines helped to inflate the number of closings. 75% 50% $500+ $400K to $500K $300K to $400K The top multi-plex community for 2008 was Remington Park in Suffolk by Chesapeake Homes. The community is made up of 184 three-story back to back units ranging in size from 1,600 to 1,750 square feet. During 2008 there were 67 closings recorded with an average price of $199,502. 25% 0% Resale New Construction $200K to $300K <$200,000 Townhome and Duplex permits experienced the smallest decline of all the product types during 2008 with a loss of 17.9%. More than half of the municipalities experienced a decline in permits with Isle of Wight County having the highest percentage loss. Closings were off 14.5% from last year, with 739 closings recorded. The largest loss occurred on the Southside, where closings dropped 16.4%. The Peninsula dropped 10.8% to 265 closings recorded.

In 2008, there were 69 closings recorded with an average price of $267,415. 2009 Hampton Roads Real Estate Market Review 64

AGE RESTRICTED COMMUNITIES There are currently 15 new construction, active adult, age restricted communities in Hampton Roads. During 2008, these communities yielded 181 closings, a market share of 5.5% of all new construction closings. This was a decline of 29.6% from a year ago. There were 168 permits issued, a decline of 34.6% from 2007. The top new construction, age restricted community for 2008 was Colonial Heritage in James City County by Lennar Corporation. There were 58 closings recorded with an average closing price of $381,139. The age restricted market continues to be challenging in Hampton Roads. The most successful communities are designed with the traditional active adult model in mind and, as a result, have had better sales results. The builders of two communities propose to have the age restricted proffer removed on their sites so as to appeal to a larger market. Based on the closing pace of 2008 it will take over 13 years to absorb the 3,300+ homes/lots in the currently active communities. In addition, more than 1,000 additional homes have been approved throughout Hampton Roads. EXISTING HOME MARKET Existing home closings for 2008 were down 24.9% from 2007 with 13,957 closings reported for the year. The 2008 average closing price for an existing home in Hampton Roads was $251,098, a decline of 4% or $10,408 from 2007.
