COLUMBIA, MARYLAND RESIDENTIAL and NON-RESIDENTIAL SALES PRICE TRENDS: 2000 - 2010

Executive Summary Residential sales prices in Columbia’s villages have fared well in the past decade even with the “great recession” of 2008 to 2009. The greatest proportional increases in the average residential sales price for Columbia villages are associated with 2003 through 2006, while, not surprisingly, the largest decline occurred from 2008 to 2009. In general, the percentage increase in average sales prices for the Columbia villages were equivalent or exceeded those for Howard County for the years between 2001 and 2007 and fell less steeply than those in the county in 2008 and 2009.

All villages experienced increases in average residential sales prices. River Hill had the highest average sales price of all Columbia villages in 2000 and maintained that standing for most of the study period.

COLUMBIA, MARYLAND RESIDENTIAL and NON-RESIDENTIAL SALES PRICE TRENDS: 2000 - 2010

In 2010, Hickory Ridge and River Hill had the highest average residential sale price of all the villages. The average sale price for Howard County (other than Columbia) was only slightly higher.

The Columbia Association commissioned research and analysis on residential and non-residential real estate sales in Columbia, Maryland for the period from 2000 to 2010. This report entitled “Sales Price Trends, Columbia, Maryland: Residential and NonResidential Sales, 2000-2010” examines the trends for each of Columbia’s villages and Town Center and compares the villages, Columbia and Howard County. It also includes information on non-residential sales. The average sales prices presented in the report are derived from the calculated square foot price, based on the size of the unit sold. This allows for the comparison of sale prices that also account for the mix of unit types and sizes. The Columbia Association undertook this analysis to better understand Columbia real estate price trends, particularly home price trends, given the significant market changes and redevelopment activity occurring. The report provides important datasets that can be used to better understand Columbia and where further study, follow-up investigation or action might be warranted.

COLUMBIA, MARYLAND RESIDENTIAL and NON-RESIDENTIAL SALES PRICE TRENDS: 2000 - 2010

Introduction This report documents an analysis of residential and non-residential real estate sales in Columbia, Maryland for the period from 2000 to 2010. The average sales prices presented in this report are derived from the calculated square foot price, based on the size of the unit sold. This allows for the comparison of sale prices that also account for the mix of unit types and sizes. The methodology on page 2 explains how this analysis was completed. The report compares overall Columbia sales to those of Howard County as a whole, then examines the trends for each of Columbia’s villages and Town Center, and then is followed by a composite look at trends for all the villages, Columbia and Howard County. Residential trends are presented first followed by non-residential trends. This research and analysis was undertaken at the request of the Columbia Association to better understand Columbia real estate sales trends, particularly home sales trends, given the significant market changes and redevelopment activity occurring. As with Columbia Association’s recent analysis of Census Bureau data (“Characteristics of Columbia: a Demographic and Socio-economic Profile” http://bit.ly/columbiacharacteristics), this report provides important datasets that can be used to better understand Columbia and where further study, follow-up investigation or action might be warranted. Columbia, as a whole, and the individual villages have fared well in the past decade even with the “great recession” of 2008 to 2009, following national and regional patterns for established communities. The findings in this analysis are significant in the sense that few negative trends are discernible. Sometimes the inability to not find issues or problems is as or more important than the identification of negatives or issues.

COLUMBIA, MARYLAND RESIDENTIAL and NON-RESIDENTIAL SALES PRICE TRENDS: 2000 - 2010

Study Methodology A series of analysis steps were performed by consultant Chesapeake Group Inc. to create the datasets analyzed in this study of sale prices for the period 2000 through 2010. These included: 1. Obtaining property sales data from the Maryland’s Real Estate Information datasets as compiled by the state’s contractor SpecPrint. 2. Identifying sales of residential units for each calendar year from 2000 through 2010 for Columbia’s Town Center and villages (for Columbia Association assessed properties) and Howard County. 3. Identification within those sales of “arms-length” improved property transactions. This type of transaction is one in which the improved property was exposed for sale in the open market and the transaction involved a non-family member willing seller and willing buyer. 4. Defining the improved property as building area having an “enclosed area.” The enclosed area for residential property is one with a dwelling above ground level. Calculations of square footage therefore exclude the area of the basement (if any) even if it is finished. (For non-residential it is generally the square footage of the building and excludes parking structures and out buildings.) 5. Defining land area is defined in square feet, with acreage converted to square feet, employing the definition of 43,560 square feet per acre. 6. Since units vary in size, evaluation of units is performed on a “sale price” per square foot. 7. Determining the average (mean) sale price by taking the price of each unit sold, dividing each by the square footage of the unit, totaling the values and dividing the total by the number of units sold and multiplying this figure by the average sized unit. Whether residential or non-residential, there are many factors that impact the resulting trends. These range from national economic issues to data furnished by the State of Maryland’s contractor SpecPrint and its Maryland Real Estate Information DVD. These include but are not necessarily limited to: 8 /COLUMBIA, MD / TRENDS ANALYSIS / 04.2013


COLUMBIA, MARYLAND RESIDENTIAL and NON-RESIDENTIAL SALES PRICE TRENDS: 2000 - 2010

National housing and finance market issues, most notably those associated with the “great recession” of 2008 to 2009.

Small numbers of units sold in any given year or geographic area.

The timing and number of new buildings constructed, which can significantly alter the composition in any geographic area.

The types of housing units sold.

Inconsistencies in data for a composite of units or for any one unit over time, which results from issues with recordation, changes/additions to units made by ownership and other factors.

The following is a synopsis of the average sales price study for Columbia conducted by Chesapeake Group Inc. on behalf of the Columbia Association. The residential properties are analyzed separately from the non-residential properties.

Residential Sales Trends The analysis begins with a comparison of residential sales between Columbia and Howard County, then delves deeper to examine sales prices in each village for each year in the study period, and concludes with a tabular summary of the villages as compared to Columbia and Howard County. As shown in Table 1, in general, the average sales price for housing in Columbia and Howard County rose from 2000 through 2007. The average sales price of a home in the Columbia Association-assessed area rose from roughly $177,000 in 2000 to more than $374,000 in 2007. The average sales price for a home in 2010 was about $326,000 ($326,516), a lower number that reflects the loss of home values during the national “great recession” of 2008 and 2009. This recession was linked to the housing market and had its impact on both Columbia and Howard County. Housing values fell less in Columbia’s villages overall than in other parts of Howard County for 2008 and 2009.

HARPER’S CHOICE With the exception of 2003 and 2010, Harper’s Choice sales prices essentially mirrored the directional pattern of rising or falling values for Columbia in general. The village saw steady sales price gains through 2007. This was followed by a decline in sale prices for Harper’s Choice beginning in 2008 and then reversing course in 2010.

HICKORY RIDGE With the exception of 2010, Hickory Ridge trends and patterns mirror the defined patterns for Columbia. However, during the previous decade, Hickory Ridge sales prices increased to a greater extent than Columbia overall. The price differential grew from roughly $17,000 to more than $65,000 by 2008. On the other hand, as a result of the recession, the fall in prices in 2008 and 2009 exceeded Columbia’s fall in prices. Then in 2010, Hickory Ridge sales prices increased significantly, recovering much of the loss attributed to 2008 and 2009. Table 7 shows the average sales prices during the study period.

KINGS CONTRIVANCE Kings Contrivance reflects the general pattern for Columbia and overall the village has seen a substantial increase in the average sales price over the study period. However, it appears that the declines since the “great recession” are much steeper, with an overall decline of more than 25 percent since 2007. This is almost double that of Columbia, and over two and a half times that of Howard County outside of Columbia. Table 9 shows the average sales prices during the study period.

LONG REACH Long Reach average residential sale prices reflect the general Columbia pattern with prices rising through the mid portion to late in the decade and then declining during the recession. However, in 2004 and 2005, the percent change in average sale prices in Long Reach was higher than both the average for Columbia villages and for Howard County (other than Columbia). While declines related in average sale prices in Long Reach actually began in 2007 versus the more typical 2008, the proportional decline related to the recession was relatively small and statistically insignificant. Table 11 shows the average sales prices during the study period. Long Reach, the largest village in Columbia, had the highest number of residential home sales with almost 2,200 during the study period. See Table 25 for number of sales for each village by year.

OAKLAND MILLS Oakland Mills mirrored the pattern of average sale prices for Columbia in general. The average sales price increased each year from 2000 through 2007 and then dropped off during the recession as they did throughout the community. While the average sale prices are more modest than some other villages, Oakland Mills had the highest percentage increase in average sale prices during the study period for all the villages with a 120 percent increase, as compared to the average for Columbia villages of 84 percent and the Howard County average of 82 percent.

OWEN BROWN Owen Brown’s patterns follow a similar pattern as that for other Columbia villages. It had steady increases in average sale prices from 2001 until the beginning of the recession in 2008. However, average sale prices for Owen Brown beginning in 2008 fell at a rate higher than that for Columbia. Over the study period, average residential sales prices rose by 71 percent.

RIVER HILL River Hill had the highest average sales price of all Columbia villages in 2000 and maintained that standing through most of the study period. However, River Hill increases did not keep pace with average increases for Columbia or other areas of Howard County. In addition, declines in sales prices during the recession were steeper than either Columbia in general or other parts of Howard County. This difference may be a result of the average price of a unit in River Hill generally being above the average price of units in other Columbia villages and Howard County. Between 2000 and 2010, River Hill saw increases in the average sales price in six of the years and, unlike most of the other areas, River Hill saw increases in sales prices in 2008 during the beginning of the great recession period. Table 17 shows the average sale prices during the study period. Table 17 – River Hill, Average Residential Sales Price per Year, 2000 through 2010

TOWN CENTER Town Center’s average sales price increased over the study period by a higher percentage than the overall average for all the villages. However, the average sales price for Town Center residential units in 2010 were below the norm for Columbia and were below the norm throughout the previous decade. One possible reason for these trends includes the uncertainty associated with Downtown Columbia redevelopment during much of the last decade, which could have weighed on the sale price patterns. Another more likely reason is the residential unit composition of Town Center, which is comprised of almost all single-family attached and multi-family units, which generally bring lower sale prices then single-family detached units. Table 19 shows the average sales prices during the study period. Table 19 – Town Center, Average Residential Sales Price per Year, 2000 through 2010

WILDE LAKE Wilde Lake’s sales price patterns differ from most of the other villages as well as Howard County. In general, the proportional price increases from 2000 through 2007 (before the recession) for Wilde Lake were below the norm for other villages of Columbia or Howard County. Between 2000 and 2010, sales prices declined in five of the years, with prices peaking in 2005 or before the start of the “great recession” in the economy and housing market. Possible reasons for these trends include the uncertainty associated with the neighboring Downtown Columbia redevelopment during this time as well as the uncertainty about the redevelopment of the Wilde Lake Village Center, which may have impacted residential sales.

COLUMBIA, MARYLAND RESIDENTIAL SALE PRICES and NON-RESIDENTIAL SALE PRICES TRENDS: 2000 - 2010

Non-Residential Sales Trends Unlike residential sales, the numbers of non-residential sales in any given year was small. In fact, while the information is furnished in this document on sales by geographic area, other than for Columbia in general and Howard County other than Columbia, the number of sales is too small for any statistically valid evaluation. As can be seen in Table 26, there are many years in almost all of the villages of Columbia where there were three or fewer sales and, in some years, none whatsoever.

COLUMBIA, MARYLAND RESIDENTIAL SALE PRICES and NON-RESIDENTIAL SALE PRICES TRENDS: 2000 - 2010

The average sale per square foot of building varies substantially from a high of $932 to a low of just under $9. This is because of many variables, such as: use of property; condition of structure; intended for reuse or demolition; whether single building or a shopping or other center; condominium; and whether the sale included land and building or simply building; or low number of sales in some areas. The details are shown in Table 27. Table 27 – Village Comparison, Non-Residential Average Price per Square Foot of Building Area, 2000 through 2010 2000 Dorsey Search Harper’s Choice

Conclusion The findings in this analysis are significant in the sense that few negative trends are discernible. Sometimes the inability to not find issues or problems is as or more important than the identification of negative issues. From what can be discerned from the data, generally Columbia as a whole and its villages have fared well in the past decade, following national and regional patterns for established communities, as well as when compared to Howard County in general. Two geographic areas within Columbia seem to have residential sale price patterns that are worth mentioning. One of those two areas – Town Center – is in the process of undergoing substantial new investment with a potential dramatic change in character for Downtown Columbia. While Town Center’s average sales price increased over the study period by a higher percentage than the overall average for all the villages, the average sales price for Town Center residential units in 2010 were below the norm for Columbia and were below the norm throughout the previous decade. In addition to the uncertainty associated with Downtown Columbia redevelopment during at least half of the last decade, another reason for these lower values in Town Center is certainly the residential unit composition of Town Center, which is comprised of almost all single-family attached and multi-family units, which generally bring lower sale prices then single-family detached units. The other geographic area is the residential market in Wilde Lake. The village experienced falling average sale prices in a few years before the commencement of the “great recession” and associated economic and housing issues. This suggests that a review of housing, social, investment patterns and other community factors should be undertaken either to understand existing issues or prevent potential future ones. However, Wilde Lake is likely to benefit from the reinvestment to both Downtown, which is immediately adjacent to Wilde Lake, and its own village center, currently undergoing redevelopment. In general, both commercial and residential markets have fared reasonably well and remained strong when compared to Howard County during the “great recession” period and its aftermath. There is no evidence to suggest that, in general, home and commercial values will not increase as general national market forces strengthen.
