Windwalker’s Nantucket Real Estate Review: Your Key to the 2013 Market A passing glance at the year-end sales figures for the 2013 Nantucket real estate market indicates that 2013 slightly underperformed the 2012 market. Yet, these summary numbers obscure the finer details that characterized the true nature of the market’s performance. For Windwalker’s annual review of the Nantucket real estate market, we unlocked the data and analyzed the trends to provide you with a better look at the big picture: In Our Eyes, The 2013 Market Came Out On Top Although the 463 real estate sales that took place in 2013 represent a two percent decline from 2012, 4Q12 was artificially buoyed by the threat of tax code changes, in effect moving forward some of the sales that may have otherwise occurred in 1Q13. Yet, despite this handicap, 2013 mounted an impressive, organic comeback through the first nine months of the year, rallying from a 20 percent transaction deficit in 1Q13 to a 26 percent lead by 3Q13. Were it not for the ‘unfair’ advantage held by 4Q12, we believe 2013 would have held the lead by year’s end. Even in the face of this headwind, the 2013 market was transactionally superior to the 2006 and 2007 markets — an impressive, post-crash comeback of its own. Lower Price-Point Plays Suggest Higher Dollar Volumes May Be Ahead The nine percent dollar volume decline in 2013 was not so much attributed to the slight reduction in overall transaction volume but rather the higher concentration in lower price-point sales as compared to 2012. Sub-$1 million single-family home buyers, as well as residential and commercial land buyers, drove dollar volume in the lower end of the market, igniting a shift into higher price points as inventory disappeared. We anticipate 2014 will enjoy higher dollar volumes if only due to the evaporating inventory in these lower price points. Performance Metrics Indicate Improved Market Efficiencies All segments of the local market, including single-family home sales, commercial sales, and vacant lot sales, demonstrated improved performance by way of lower months on market, higher sales prices as a percentage of both original and last list prices, and reduced inventory. Speculative Projects Highlight Increased Confidence Finished speculative home sales represented a higher proportion of 2013 sales than in 2012, signaling that speculative investors’ confidence has been steadily improving. This confidence surged even higher in 2013 as speculative developers nearly doubled their purchases of vacant lots from 2012 activity and continued their buying spree of renovation projects. Decline in Foreclosures Boosts Valuation Confidence Though not specifically detailed in this report, the overall health of the market improved in 2013 as foreclosures dropped significantly from eight percent in 2012 to just three percent. This decline aided in boosting valuation confidence for the entire market and provided direct support for the sub-$1 million segment as buyers finally saw relief from the valuation free-fall that had plagued this segment of the market in previous years. A sign that the 2013 market’s strength will carry into 2014, January sales posted the strongest transaction volume witnessed since 2007.

In reality, Windwalker posits that the 2013 market was even stronger than it appears as there were no external factors artificially boosting 4Q13 like we experienced in 4Q12 with the year-end tax code changes. Each quarter was stronger than the one that preceded it, indicating a steady, genuine strengthening of the market. At 463 transactions totaling $742 million, the 2013 market is the second post-crash market to match figures not seen since 2006 & 2007. It also represents double the transaction volume posted at the bottom of the market and is nearly 75 percent higher than the dollar volume at that time. Though the graph may paint a picture of a slight Nantucket real estate setback, the 2013 market was anything but… Absorption Rates & Sales Discounts 35 Another strong year of demand pushes inventory down and reduces sales discounts 4 95% 30 90% ABSORPTION RATE 25 85% 80% 20 75% 15 70% 65% 10 60% 5 55% 50% 0 ’06 ’07 ’08 Absorption Projected Months on Market ’09 ’10 ’11 Sale Price / Last List Price ’12 ’13 Sale Price / Original List Price SALES PRICE AS A % OF ORIGINAL & LAST LIST If there’s a solid metric that indicates a healthy, efficient market, it’s quickening inventory absorption and narrowing sales discounts. Strong buyer demand (especially in the lower end of the market) in 2013 continued to drive down inventory such that, at a consistent transaction pace, it would take approximately 10 months to clear all property inventory on island, an improvement of two months over 2012 and even with 2006. Based on 2013 sales and year-end inventory, properties located in Cisco, Naushop, Nashaquisset, Mid-Island (residential) and West of Town enjoy among the fastest absorption rates at less than six months. Sales discounts also continued to improve as older inventory cleared and vibrant demand encouraged fewer low bids. 100% M A R K E T D ATA In Focus: Single-Family Homes Single-Family Home Sales Metrics Moderate decline in YOY volume but inventory declines and pricing metrics strengthen Perhaps surprisingly, the number of single-family home sales dropped 12% from one year earlier and the median price declined 6% as the majority of buyers put their money to work in sub-$1 million properties. A portion of the transaction volume was redirected toward vacant land sales (see pg 6) as both speculative buyers and end-users sought to build rather than renovate, especially in a declininginventory market where options became limited. Despite the moderate drop in sales volume, total inventory actually declined while pricing metrics continued to improve.

As foreclosures declined significantly from prior years, prices stabilized in the lower end of the market and demand rebounded. This, combined with historically low investment yields and fear of increasing mortgage rates, drove low-end volume. As inventory evaporated, demand in the $1-$2 million segment increased nearly proportionally, suggesting would-be, Entry-Level buyers had to increase their budget to the next tier. Demand in the higher-end price points was consistent throughout 2013 with a slight boost in transaction volume in the final half of the year, especially in the Ultra-High-End. Home Absorption by Price Point Absorption quickening not enjoyed by all price points Demand for Entry–Level properties clearly outweighed supply, creating an exceptionally low absorption rate of five months, down one month from the same time in 2012. The Low-End witnessed slightly fewer transactions but absorption improved one month from 2012 as well. The higher end of the market experienced a far different scenario, one characterized by a higher saturation of inventory that was not supported by a corresponding increase in buyer interest. The $5-$9.99 million price point lagged behind all others with a 45 month absorption rate, an increase of 26 months from 2012, due to a nearly 50 percent decline in demand but a 25 percent increase in inventory in 2013. Ultra-High-End properties fared slightly better as transactions experienced a minimal year-over-year gain, but with inventory doubling, absorption still increased seven months from 2012.

Interestingly, 49 percent of these transactions were private sales (primarily commercial or speculative lot sales) so it should be noted that pricing metrics aren’t indicative of the entire sample size. The median sale price declined but this metric tends to vary substantially year by year depending on the type, size and location of the properties. Notably, the average lot size in 2013 was .58 acres compared to 1.35 acres in 2012 (excluding large conservation transactions) which was the main driver for the decline in median value. Vacant Lot Sales by Price Point Vacant Lot Sales by Intended Use Sub-$1MM transactions represent the lion’s share but decline from 2012 Speculative lot development nearly doubles in 2013 $5-$9.99MM 1% >$9.99MM 1% Conservation 2% $2-$4.99MM 2% Spec/Residential 20% Residential 57% $1-$1.99MM 34% Commercial 15% <$1MM 62% Sub-$1 million lots represented the biggest slice of transaction volume, though slightly less than the 65 percent witnessed in 2012. A significant portion of these transactions were comprised of 5,000 sf lots in the Arrowhead Drive (RC-2/CI zoning) subdivision (10 transactions) and Naushop (six transactions). Vacant land sales in the $1–$2 million range increased from 27 percent to 33 percent year-over-year, spurred in part by demand from speculative builders. The upper-end price points each declined by one to two percentage points largely due to the fact that only a few private, large parcels of vacant land remain on island. Res / Comm 6% Given recent market strength, it should come as no surprise that speculative residential development has returned in force and increased substantially in 2013. According to Windwalker estimates, speculative lot purchases represented 11 percent of land transactions in 2012, a figure that jumped to 20 percent in 2013. Commercial lot sales also increased considerably, rising six percentage points, thanks in part to the vacant lots that traded near the airport within the Arrowhead Drive subdivision. This analysis accounts for the $30 million mid-island portfolio as one transaction when in reality it was comprised of over 60 mixed-use parcels, many of which were commercial. Our estimate of commercial land sales is thus overly conservative. Vacant Lot “Resales” Limited but impressive data in 2013 Windwalker monitors property resales in order to gain insight into what may be more broadly happening with property values. Vacant land is particularly helpful as there is typically very little alteration to the property between sales, unlike single-family homes where renovations may take place. Although the data is very limited for 2013, the three vacant lot resales in the Brant Point and Town areas suggest that land values have rebounded quite nicely over recent years with gross annual returns (excluding taxes and fees) ranging from 10 to 37 percent. It should be noted that while the value of two of these properties nominally improved with the inclusion of HDC-approved plans, the returns would still be impressive over and above this added value and the marginal expenses incurred. 6 2013 LOT RESALES ORIGINAL SALE DATE PRICE 2013 SALE DATE PRICE GROSS TOTAL RETURN GROSS ANNUALIZED RETURN May 2010 $1,700,000 Aug 2013 $2,300,000 35% 10% 11A Crooked** Jun 2012 Lane $775,000 Sep 2013 $1,450,000 87% 65% 18 Cherry* Street $190,000 Aug 2013 $320,000 68% 37% ADDRESS 62 Walsh Street Dec 2011 *Sale included HDC approved plans **Sale included HDC approved plans and house removal M A R K E T D ATA In Focus: Commercial Property Commercial Property Sales Metrics Slight volume decline from 2012 but 150% of the 5-YR average COMMERCIAL 2013 2012 % CHANGE 5-YR AVG. 18 20 –10% 12 55% $14,367 $39,403 – 64% $25,156 – 43% Median Sale Price ($000s) $704 $1,970 – 64% $1,668 – 58% Average Months on Market 14 19 –16% 14 3% Sale Price / Original List Price 74% 72% 3 84% – 11% Sale Price / Most Recent List Price 90% 83% 8 91% 1% 11 19 – 42% 23 – 51% Transaction Volume Dollar Volume ($000s) Inventory % CHANGE Although commercial property sales typically represent less than five percent of the Nantucket real estate market, they may indicate how buyers view the island economy when considering a Nantucket real estate investment. With 18 commercial transactions totaling $14 million, buyers have increasing confidence in this asset class which has significantly improved from 2009 when only three transactions closed. Dollar volume declined from 2012, but this is due to the fact that the majority of the pricier, downtown commercial inventory traded in 2012. The bulk of 2013 transactions were either smaller condo units or mid-island properties where values are comparatively lower. Pricing metrics for commercial properties tend to be slightly less meaningful than the metrics for other types of property given that many of the properties transfer privately where price history is unknown. Commercial Sales by Price Point Dearth of Town inventory results in lower price point concentration As with both single-family home sales and vacant lot sales, the sub-$1 million price point dominated 2013 commercial transactions. This is a dramatic shift from just one year ago when this price point represented only 20 percent of all commercial transactions. In 2012, there were eight core Town properties that traded between $1.4 million and $4.5 million. In 2013, there was only one notable downtown sale, the transfer of 21 Broad Street for $3.05 million. This data excludes the aforementioned $30 million portfolio sale which would lift commercial activity even higher. $2-$4.99MM 5% >$5MM+ 0% $1-$1.99MM 17% <$1MM 78% Commercial Sales by Location Big year for commercial properties in Mid-Island Mid-Island commercial property sales represented 56 percent of all commercial transactions. Once again, this is a conservative figure due to the treatment of the $30 million portfolio transfer. Were this portfolio to be broken out, the Mid-Island percentage would be higher as there were 60 properties included in this bulk purchase, many of which were residential/commercial or commercial properties. Given the substantial commercial investment that is occurring outside of the core district, it would not be surprising to see this concentration of sales continue in the Mid-Island area.

This figure grew to nine percent in 2013, which is not surprising given the overall strengthening of the market and the limited inventory of turnkey vacation properties. As the table below shows, aside from a speculative Brant Point property that came on the market in 2007, spec homes enjoyed a rapid absorption rate compared to the average marketing time for the overall market. 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% 2012 2013 Non-speculative Residential Sales Speculative Residential Sales by Area Speculative Residential Sales Surfside 8% Cliff and Town areas host majority of speculative sales activity Though property sales on the Cliff represented only seven percent of all single-family home transactions in 2013, this highly sought after area represented 34 percent of total speculative sales activity as estimated by Windwalker. Nearly one out of every two single-family home sales on the Cliff represented the transfer of a spec home to an end-user. The Town area represented 22 percent of all single-family homes sales during the year and 27 percent of all speculative activity. At 11 percent, the Miacomet area saw a slightly higher concentration than the remaining areas thanks to the success of the Finback subdivision. In reviewing vacant lot sales and renovation projects that sold during 2013, Windwalker anticipates that 2014 speculative sales data will have a similar distribution by area. ’Sconset 4% Pocomo 4% Town 27% Miacomet 11% Brant Point 4% Cliff 34% Speculative Home Sales Metrics 2013 FINISHED SPEC HOME SALES BY AREA A snapshot of strong data Disregarding the Brant Point sale of 1 Dolphin Court, the data for residential spec sales is by and large much stronger than the averages for the market as a whole. Marketing time was significantly lower across the board, indicating just how strong demand is for recently renovated homes. Sales prices as a percentage of the original and last asking prices were also above the market averages, suggesting not only that these homes more accurately reflected current market pricing compared to the broader market, but also that readily available buyers were willing to pay top dollar for a product that was in low supply. The price per square foot of finished living space predictably varied by area. And while this data should be analyzed more granularly given the diversity in the finished products and characteristics specific to each area, one can’t deny the impressive $900+ average price per square foot of finished living space that these speculative projects boast overall.

Months on Market Average and median sales prices in Brant Point increased from 2012 to 2013, due in large part to the higher concentration of transactions that closed for above $2 million in the area in 2013 (43%) as compared to 2012 (32%). The last undeveloped lot on Dolphin Court sold for $1,050,000 in November, while a previously built spec project at 1 Dolphin Court finally sold after more than 5 years on market for 55% of its original asking price.

Most notably, these properties sold for an average of 90% of the original asking price, versus 84% for the overall market, and were only marketed for an average of 4 months, versus 12 months for the overall market. There were 11 vacant lot sales in the area, a sign that the Cliff could continue to be a hot-spot for finished spec projects in 2014. 13 Sold Properties by Area West of Town ALL SALES # of Transactions 15 26 – 42% % Total All Transactions 3% 6% –3 $15,255 $29,412 – 48% 2% 4% –2 Average (in thousands) $1,017 $1,131 – 10% Median (in thousands) $755 $925 – 18% Sale % Original Price 91% 84% +7 Sale % Last Ask Price 93% 90% +3 Sale % Assessed Value 131% 106% +25 7 10 – 27% Dollar Volume (in thousands) % Total All Dollar Volume 2013 HIGHEST SALE 88 Madaket Road $4,265,000 I 2013 LOWEST SALE 4 Cato Lane (Land) $305,000 The West of Town area experienced increases in all 3 pricing ratios year-over-year, and with 15 transactions closing in 2013 versus only 7 properties listed for sale at year-end, it also had an absorption rate of less than 6 months. Avg. Months on Market 3 Robert’s Lane was under agreement almost immediately upon hitting the market, and closed for $1,000 over the $599,000 asking price, illustrating the continued exuberance in the low end of the market for well-priced starter homes.

Months on Market * Includes sole Tuckernuck transaction which traded for $825,000 in 2012 The Madaket area experienced a bit of a down year as transaction and dollar volume both fell 12% and 24% respectively. Furthermore, average sales prices fell 15% while median sales prices fell 25%. These drops are most likely attributed to the fact that 35% of 2013 transactions in Madaket closed for under $500,000 whereas that price-point represented only 8% of Madaket transactions one year earlier. The sale of 1 Esther’s Island Road for $2.6 million marked the transfer of one of Nantucket’s most unique properties: an off-the-grid, ocean-front retreat on 13+ acres that is inaccessible via vehicular access from time to time.

Months on Market Low inventory in this increasingly popular beach neighborhood led to a year-over-year increase in the average sale price from $1.766 million to $2.16 million and a sharp drop in average marketing time from 11 months to 6 months. Given the high number of 2013 sales in Cisco, combined with low yearend inventory (2), the projected months on market as of December 31, 2013 was only 3.4 months. 15 Sold Properties by Area Hummock Pond ALL SALES # of Transactions 9 8 13% 2% 2% 0 $11,443 $10,262 12% 2% 1% +1 Average (in thousands) $1,271 $1,283 – 1% Median (in thousands) $980 $1,404 – 30% I 2013 LOWEST SALE Sale % Original Price 87% 88% –1 11 Aurora Way (Land) $700,000 Sale % Last Ask Price 91% 92% –1 Sale % Assessed Value 131% 105% +26 12 13 – 10% % Total All Transactions Dollar Volume (in thousands) % Total All Dollar Volume 2013 HIGHEST SALE 1 Osprey Way $3,400,000 Sales statistics in the Hummock Pond area remained relatively flat year-over-year. The median sales price, however, dropped 30% from $1.4 million to $980,000 as sub-$1 million transactions represented a larger portion of total transaction volume (56% in 2013 versus 38% in 2012). Avg. Months on Market The only other metric that experienced a sizable year-over-year change was the sale price as a percentage of assessed value ratio, which increased 26 percentage points from 105% in 2012 to 131% in 2013. This increase was in large part due to 2 transactions: the 2013 land sale at 11 Aurora Way, which included HDC-approved plans and sold for $700,000 (209% of the assessed value), and the 2012 REO sale of 30 Hummock Pond Road for $425,000 (49% of the assessed value).

Months on Market 8 20 – 59% One of the more consistently sought-after beach neighborhoods on the island, Surfside saw improvements across nearly all sales and pricing statistics except for a negligible 2 percentage point drop in sales price as a percentage of assessed value. The most notable change from 2012 to 2013 was the drop in average months on market from 20 months to 8 months. This was the result of older inventory clearing and new inventory pricing that was more aligned with the market, as is apparent in the 19 percentage point increase in the sale price to original asking price ratio (from 70% in 2012 to 89% in 2013), and the 8 percentage point increase in the sale price to last asking price ratio (from 85% in 2012 to 93% in 2013).

This drop from $1.435 million to $1.31 million is attributed to the concentration of transactions below $1.5 million, which increased from 51% in 2012 to 58% in 2013.

Months on Market The Quidnet / Squam area boasted the highest average sale price ($7.813 million) of any area on Nantucket, thanks to two Ultra-High-End sales, but also the lowest ratio of sale price to last asking price (83%). The decrease in this ratio is attributed to the sale of 5 Beacon Lane which closed for 74% of the last asking price. 18 Two Ultra-High-End sales, with an average sale price of $16.2 million, led to the largest year-over-year gains in dollar volume (205%) and average sales price (265%) of any area, and made Quidnet/Squam the only area that saw 2 Ultra-High-End transactions close in 2013.

Months on Market The Polpis area saw the lowest ratio of sale price to original asking price (66%) of all areas on island, due in large part to the transfer of 3 properties that were marketed for an average of 30 months and sold on average at 44% of their respective original asking prices. After a strong performance in 2012, the Shawkemo area within Polpis saw fewer transactions (2 versus 4), lower dollar volume ($5.9 million versus $25.8 million), lower average sale price ($2.96 million versus $6.46 million) and lower median sale price ($2.96 million versus $6.35 million) in 2013. 19 Sold Properties by Area Shimmo ALL SALES # of Transactions 3 5 – 40% 1% 1% 0 $20,450 $11,190 83% 3% 1% +2 Average (in thousands) $6,817 $2,238 205% Median (in thousands) $6,300 $1,660 280% % Total All Transactions Dollar Volume (in thousands) % Total All Dollar Volume 2013 HIGHEST SALE 21 & 23 Shimmo Pond Road $12,600,000 I 2013 LOWEST SALE Sale % Original Price 101% 75% + 26 7 South Valley Road Sale % Last Ask Price 101% 92% +9 $1,550,000 Sale % Assessed Value 126% 90% + 36 1 18 – 97% Avg.

The impressive activity in Shimmo in 2013 also translated to the largest yearover-year increase in median price ($1.66 million in 2012 to $6.3 million in 2013) and largest decrease in months on market (from 18 MOM in 2012 to 1 MOM in 2013).

Months on Market The 9 transactions that occurred in the Monomoy area in 2013 carried the highest percentage of sale price to assessed value (139%), largely due to the 48 Monomoy Road sale that closed for 220% of assessed value. Sales in this area also represented the longest average marketing time of 20 months as 2 of the 9 properties were listed for sale for a combined 110 months. 20 Dollar volume in this area nearly tripled due to a combination of increases in transaction volume (9 versus 5), average sales price ($3.7 million versus $2.5 million) and the above-referenced sale of 48 Monomoy Road that was almost triple the price of the highest transaction to close in Monomoy in 2012.
