5. REPLACE ARTICLE 2011 Prime – Urban Report Residential Review What Goes Up? Thomas Skahen, Co-Founder and Partner PrimeTime Communities You know the song. “What goes up must come down, Spinning wheel got to go round, Talking ‘bout your troubles it's a crying sin, Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel spin.” (Blood, Sweat, and Tears - 1969) From a Boston new construction sales perspective we went up in 2006 , came down in 2007 and 2008, and spun our wheels in 2009. That’s what it feels like anyway. 2010 will be the beginning of the going up again! In Massachusetts, single family home sales rose from 34,546 to 36,288 and condominium sales continued to slide down from 15,608 to 15,321 from 2008 to 2009. For Boston, sales declined from 3,002 in 2008 to 2,482 in 2009. This was the fifth year of declines for the Boston condominium market. Single family homes and condominium sales median prices continued to slide down from $310,000 to $290,000 for single family homes and $274,000 to $252,000 for condominium homes for the time period of 2008 to 2009. For Boston, median sales prices actually decreased from $733,000 in 2008 to $602,000 in 2009. For the same time period average sales prices in Boston went from $475,000 to $446,000 and have appeared to level off. Average days on market for Massachusetts single family homes and condominiums increased from 136 to 129 and 140 to 133 respectively. This downward trend is an indication that it may start getting easier to sell a home. For Boston, average days on market increased slightly from 91 in 2009 to 105 in 2009. Will lack of supply create demand? In Massachusetts, single family and condominium permits dropped from 4,764 to 4,094 and 3,994 to 2,053 respectively from 2008 to 2009. In 2005 permits were 14,000 and 10,000 for single family homes and condominiums. In 2008 the permits were 513 and 2009 is projected to be only even less. This is significantly lower than the last six years that we analyzed. Listings continue to drop from the 2007 peak in Massachusetts from 20,122 to 17,350 for single family homes and 9,131 to 7,589 from 2008 to 2009 respectively. For Boston, listings have leveled off from 1,064 to 1,044 for 2008 and 2009. Another positive indicator that will eventually drive sales back up because of the lack of supply. Overall, 2009 proved to be similar to 2008 in terms of price and sales declines. The real estate market has worked hard over the last two plus years to correct itself. As it relates to supply within the real estate market we’ve seen significant drops in inventory or listings and increases in average days on market to sell a home. Both positive indicators that will eventually move prices and sales up. We do need a rebound in employment before we will see a significant upturn in the real estate market. New condo developments in Boston that have clearly established market pricing and good end loan financing packages in place will realize a significant improvement in sales absorption in 2010. 5

9. REPLACE ARTICLE 2011 Prime – Urban Report New Condo Communities - Boston Thomas Skahen, Co-Founder and Partner PrimeTime Communities The stats highlighted above for Massachusetts and Boston were obtained from Multiple Listing Services , LINK, Mass. Association of Realtors, and U.S. Bureau of Census. The intent of The 2010 Prime Urban Report is to uncover at a micro level what is really going on with new construction condominium communities in Boston for residential and commercial developers, institutional investors, banks, buyers, and others associated with the Boston real estate industry. The approach includes utilizing MLS, Link, Book and Deed, and developer review to determine the most accurate sales data. As we did last year, we have focused on actual sales per multiple sources to uncover the real yearly and monthly absorption (sales) trends within the Boston market. We’ve been tracking new construction in Boston for three years now and have created an index to show exactly what’s going on with Boston new construction sales pace and how it compares to each of the developments. We looked at the largest and most prominent new residential communities currently under construction in Boston and this is what we found: Our study included 14 new construction residential communities consisting of 1,202 total units with 635 sold or 53 percent. Of the 635 units sold, 83 were affordable and 551 were market rate sales. This leaves us with only 567 new construction homes remaining in inventory as of year end 2009. This is down from 626 new construction inventory homes in 2008 and is a 9 .5 percent drop. If the Boston market monthly sales absorption per community increased to a more normal 3.0 sales per month for the 14 new construction communities or 36 per month in total, the 567 remaining units would be depleted in 15 months. As we pointed out last year, Boston new construction supply is extremely low. We will see a significant price increase in new construction inventory over the next few years as this inventory quickly diminishes and the job market begins to pick up. So what does our urban new construction index tell us? For the 14 new construction communities we looked at, we determined that there were 149 sales in 2009 . On average each of the communities sold 1.00 units per month (absorption). In 2008 the average was 1.2. The highest was 3.3 and the lowest was .2. The decline represents a 14 percent drop in the monthly sales rate. Developers have dropped prices, inventory is diminishing, and new construction home sales are still on the decline. We love to look at what’s working and why. The two highest absorption rates in Boston were The 1850 and The Bryant on Columbus with 3.3 and 9

10. 2011 Prime – Urban Report 1.9 sales per month respectively in 2009. Both were properties that were auctioned for all the right reasons. The strategy was to let buyers set the new market value for the homes because, quite simply, developers don’t set value in this current real estate market. At The 1850, it was the seller’s strategy to close out the property via an auction. Approximately 39 homes sold in 2009, mostly due to the auction. At The Bryant, the sellers utilized the auction strategy to reset the prices. Their approach was to put 10 of the 50 total units up for auction, have the buyer market reset prices, and sell the remaining inventory conventionally. They sold all 10 of the luxury homes with relatively good price points and continue to sell homes post auction. The same strategy was even more successful in the suburbs. The Nouvelle at Natick seller sold 50 of the 214 homes at auction, reset the prices for the remaining inventory, and achieved a 6.2 sales rate in 2009. Post auction, 31 additional units were sold (with 8 more under agreement) making Nouvelle the fastest selling community in Massachusetts. The auction strategy for a close out or a reset in pricing works. It drives huge traffic to the site that otherwise would not have visited. The buyer market just “gets” this process. Even if they don’t “get it” they understand pricing and will buy a well positioned and reasonably priced home. 10

17. 2011 Prime – Urban Report 2010 Sales Summary – New Construction NOTES: 1. Market rate sales are sales of homes sold at full market value without subsidization from public sector entities such as local governments, HUD, etc.; 2. "Absorption" measures the number of sales per month; 3. “Sales” refers to homes sales that were recorded by the Registry of Deeds by 12/31/2009; 17

18. 2011 Prime – Urban Report “In 2008, new construction sales per month were 1.2 and dropped to 1.0 in 2009. If we extrapolate the communities auctioned, the rate was .60 in 2009. With the drop in both new construction and re-sale inventory, price adjustments, and low interest rates, this sales rate should begin to trend up in 2010. Developers should continue to look for creative strategies to accelerate existing inventory.” 18

19. REPLACE ARTICLE 2011 Prime – Urban Report Streetwalking Gone Mainstream Anthony Longo, Founder & CEO, CondoDomain.com 2009 was quite the interesting year in Boston real estate (not to mention nationwide). It was the year us techies have all been waiting for, however there are two sides to this story. Good News First: The once protected pool of information used for “decision making” in regards to real estate was finally released into our world-wide-web. While the National Association of Realtors spent years fighting against it, MLS data was never more easily accessible than in 2009. (MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service) This sprouted the birth of hundreds of web-based real estate companies all gunning to create valuable online tools leveraging the newly available MLS and social media systems. Enter web-savvy consumers who ate up these new tools and proved to be smarter homebuyers and sellers than ever seen before. Because of the accessibility to information that was once only granted internally to a licensed broker and/or salesperson, consumers now had real and objective city, neighborhood and even individual property data. They had easy access to available and sold listings comparables. They had access to price changes, days on market and even tax information. Most importantly, they had access to this data in real-time just like the brokers did creating a “new type of sales process”. Homebuyers and sellers have never been more prepared and knowledgeable. Savvy clients toured open houses with spreadsheets and printed notes for not just that property, but the five comparable properties down the street. 2009 was the year that consumers made the home buying and selling process more efficient and transparent. The Bad News: Not all data is created equally and not all buyers and sellers handled it responsibly. Unfortunately, real estate has many variables and some of them have nothing to do with a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. We have seen, on countless occasions, buyers and sellers misuse or misinterpret data that brought the buying and selling process to a standstill. For example, if you compared home sales from 2008 to 2009 in downtown Boston you will see that decrease of 6% in overall transaction volume (3869 sales in 2009 vs 3636 units in 2008) and a decrease of 9% in average price ($452,918 in ’09 vs. $500,413 in ’08). One would generally assume they could get an 8-10% reduction of the listing price on anything in downtown Boston and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Buyers and sellers must understand that value holds true on a very local and specific level in downtown metropolitans. While the West End and Fenway may have seen steeper declines in 2009, the South End saw an increase in average sales prices. Obviously, for bargain hunters– South End was not a place for them to be. 19

20. 2011 Prime – Urban Report The point I am trying to make is that it is an amazing feat that consumers now have access to detailed property information and there is no question it has made the process more efficient and, hopefully, more affordable at the same time. The necessity of a true “expert” real estate agent is still very much needed and important. The term “expert”, however, has been redefined over the past year because the average buyer has become smarter. Jessica Quirk, our top producer and one of Boston’s top real estate agents, spent 2009 closing more than 40 purchases and touring more than 500 properties in the Boston area. She knows value when she sees it and understands what makes the pricing in a particular neighborhood, street or even a building fluctuate over time. She knows, better than anyone, how powerful data can be and that, along with her overall real estate knowledge, is why she is one of the top agents in Boston. Consumers are now armed with the information at their fingertips and this will only continue to grow in 2010 and beyond. With more and more home shoppers on the web and as we have expanded our web footprint (www.CondoDomain.com) we can really get our arms around search analytics. If our traffic patterns are any indication of what 2010 will look like, everyone should hold on tight. With inventory limited downtown we may see a booming spring, summer & fall.

21. 21 REPLACE ARTICLE 2011 Prime – Urban Report Boston is fortunate in having in our city CBRE’s global chief economist, Ray Torto. When I asked for his prediction as to when our country will regain all jobs lost since the December, 2007 start of the recession, I immediately received his answer: “Q1-2, 2013 with Boston one or two quarters ahead.” The purpose of this article is to attach meaning to the recovery. As I will now describe, the recovery I believe will be unlike anything we have seen before. Foundation for Recovery The foundation for recovery remains unchanged – job growth. It was jobs that grew after 1974-1976, 1981-1982, 1991-1992, 2001-2003 recessions and it will be jobs again in Q4 2012. That said, this time around there will be a strong overhang from the last 10 years. That overhang will be the impact of excess spending in the United States. We are sitting with $12 trillion of debt. We are sitting with federal tax revenues that can cover only 2/3’s of the $4 trillion in operating costs. “Stimulus” is a pet word. Just look at the stimulus that has taken place since 2000: *Huge supply of capital chasing real estate. *An economy going gang-buster from 2004 to the end of 2007. *Plentiful capital through the CMBS vehicle. History of Recoveries If we study the history of past recoveries, they were created by sound, basic real estate economics. One new office job requires 250+ s/f of space. One new industrial job requires 500+ s/f of space. One new person can live in an apartment. I saved Spaulding & Slye reports of the late 1970s and 1980s which tell an interesting story: *Office vacancy rates – 1.5% to 11% *Dramatic dwindling of first class supply *Significant pre-leasing *R&D/Industrial space – new active area *”A 4% annual growth rate will reduce vacancy to nearly zero.” For the 1990s, when I shifted to the Whittier Partners Bottom Line Report, it mirrored readings from the 1970s and 1980s: *Steady economic growth *Build-to-suit construction *Renovation of older buildings becoming a source of supply The Boston Commercial Real Estate Market After Recovery From the “Great Recession” Webster A. Collins, Executive Vice President/Partner of CB Richard Ellis New England

22. In the 2000s, there is a different story: *A huge supply of capital chasing real estate *Mezz debt – the new wave *20% to 25% availability rates for office space *34.4 million s/f more office construction than jobs can support Job growth, the cornerstone of the market, was forgotten. Conclusion The Boston market after recovery will become a far more balanced market. We will be the beneficiary of being one of only five 24-hour cities in the United States. At the same time, we like the rest of the United States, will suffer from bad political decisions. Real estate over the next 10 years will be risk/return driven. This time around, the tightened underwriting standards of the 1990s will not be loosened by a flood of capital. Tightened controls will be placed on government. We have GDP of close to $13 trillion and $12 trillion of debt. A 1:1 ratio is unsustainable. We have no choice but to cut the ratio of debt to GDP in half. As described at our 2010 CBRE kick-off meeting on January 6, 2010, we are in a heavy weight fight. We are 7-8 rounds into it with 7-8 rounds to go. If the stamina of 1776-1782 prevails, we will be the winners. Webster A.

23. REPLACE ARTICLE 2011 Prime – Urban Report Navigating Condo Project Approval There’s good news out there if you know where to look Chris A. Kulp, Regional Builder Sales Manager, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Without a doubt, when it comes to new construction/conversion condominium financing, confusion abounds for builders/developers, mortgage professionals, and borrowers alike: Why do I need to get a project approval? What does a project approval mean? If so, what kind of approval do I obtain? And what is a CPM, PERS, or HUD approval anyway? What is the right pre-sale number? What counts as a pre-sale? What about phasing? Does it make a difference if my project is a low-rise, mid-rise, or high-rise? These are some of the questions that are asked every day, and depending on whom you ask, answers may vary. But, there is good news on the horizon for condo developers and their ultimate customer – the home buyer. Earlier this year the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), delivered some much needed relief to its condominium guidelines. Additionally, Fannie Mae (FNMA) has shown a willingness to review the individual merits of a condo project in its continuing efforts to help a successful project and accomplish its mission to provide home buyers with competitive home mortgage products. First, let’s look at Fannie Mae’s different approval levels, and what they mean to the marketability and viability of a project. FNMA offers lenders two options to approve a project for financing. The first is known as Condo Project Manager or CPM. After a lender reviews the project and determines acceptability, information is submitted to an automated approval database with standardized questions. If a project doesn’t meet standardized Fannie Mae guidelines, especially with regard to pre-sale, budgeted reserves, or insurance coverage, it will not pass the CPM approval process. However, all is not lost. An additional option for FNMA is called Project Eligibility Review Service or PERS. This is the old 1028 process under which a complete package of material is forwarded directly to FNMA to underwrite. Fannie Mae may approve the project with specific conditions, or it may make recommendations on what needs to be changed so the project is acceptable for financing. In addition, Fannie Mae has started allowing developers to vertically sub-phase through the PERS approval process – or to market their buildings in phases. This means a high-rise developer may have the opportunity to more readily reach FNMA’s specified presale requirement within a group of floors, instead of having to put more than half of the units in a building under contract before being able to close on their first sale. 23

24. 2011 Prime – Urban Report Developers, especially those with high-rise condo projects, have previously been told they couldn’t get their building approved for financing until they had a lot more purchase and sale agreements in place. They can now investigate sub-phasing their building to start closing units immediately. This strategy wasn’t previously widely known or even considered, so it provides an enhanced option. In December, 2009 FHA lowered its pre-sale requirement to 30 percent of the units in a project or approved legal phase in which the builder or developer has gone through the necessary steps to get FHA project approval. And here too, time is of the essence as the lower pre-sale requirement is set to expire December 31, 2010 after which FHA's normal 50 percent pre-sale requirement will go into effect. In addition, HUD has made numerous additional changes to enhance its project approval requirements to help create a successful environment for condominium homeownership. The good news is that the agencies, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and FHA, are committed to making financing available for condominium. While many developers have taken a swing at the ball and missed in the past, it’s definitely worth stepping up to the plate again. Discussing what options may be available or what changes or phasing possibilities exist with a professional in the lending industry can make all the difference in the viability and success of a condo project.
