ROGERS COUNTY ANALYSIS The purpose of this section of the report is to provide a basis for analyzing and estimating trends relating to Rogers County. The primary emphasis is concentrated on those factors which are of significance to residential development users. Residential and commercial development in the community is influenced by the following factors:

1. Population and economic growth trends. 2. Existing commercial supply and activity. 3. Natural physical elements. 4. Political policy and attitudes toward community

development. Location Rogers County is located in northeast Oklahoma. The southwest corner of the county is adjacent to northeast Tulsa County. The Rogers County Seat, Claremore, is approximately 30 miles northeast of the Tulsa central business district, 140 miles northeast of Oklahoma City, and 100 miles southwest of Joplin, Missouri. Population Trends Rogers County has experienced steady growth over the past 20 years and significant growth within the past 5 years. Much of this growth has come in the Claremore area. Claremore is the largest population center in the county and has had the greatest growth over the past several years. The following table shows population growth for Rogers County and the population centers within the county.

Source: United States Census Bureau The county population grew significantly between 1970 and 1980 (63.4%). The growth rate slowed during the 1980’s as the region suffered economically. However, it is interesting to note that during this period of economic decline, when many counties actually lost population, Rogers County still experienced average annual growth of close to 2.0%. The increase from 1990 to 2000 was 28.0% which would reflect an annual increase of approximately 2.8%. The result of these changes is that the county population has more than doubled since 1970. Future growth is anticipated to be within a

Page 9

range of two to three percent annually. This is realistic based on the availability and cost benefit of developable land in the area as compared to tracts within the Tulsa metropolitan area. Claremore is the largest population center in the county. The changes in population in Claremore mirrored the county. Significant increases in the 1970’s (33.0%) with a reduced rate of increase in the 1980’s (9.9%). During the 1990’s, the city had a total population increase of 19.5% or 2.0% annually. This high rate of growth is due to a very strong local and area economy, convenience of Claremore to Tulsa, and availability and cost benefit of vacant developable land. Based on the current economic climate and comparative alternatives, a realistic future estimate of annual population growth for the City of Claremore would be the in the three to four percent range. However, significant changes in the regional economy or local governmental decisions could quickly impact future growth. The remaining county cities with populations close to or in excess of 1,000 include Chelsea, Catoosa, Oologah, and Inola. Catoosa has had explosive growth since 1970. This is likely a result of its location between Tulsa and Claremore. Chelsea and Inola had declines in population between 1980 and 1990 but have both shown moderate to good increases during the past several years. Oologah had slight gains in the 1980’s and good gains in the 1990’s. It is evident from the previous chart that the largest portion of population growth has occurred in Claremore. This trend within the county is likely to continue. Based on county and city information, the population in the remainder of the county (outside of the identified population areas) grew approximately 22% during the 1980’s and 27.6% from 1990 through 2000. This growth includes rural homes on acreages and growth in small communities of less than 1,000 persons. It is likely that a significant portion of this growth has occurred in the western portion of the county close to the city of Owasso. The largest percentage growth in population has occurred in the cities rather than in the rural areas in the 1990’s. This suggests that primary population movement in the county in the 1990’s has been into the cities with secondary movement into the rural areas. Population by Age The following tables provide a breakdown of Claremore and Catoosa population by age in 2001 with a 2006 estimate. The greatest percentage in Claremore in 2001 is in the 40-44 year band. However, the age bands are spread relatively evenly from 25 to 54 years. The median age is just over 35 in 2001. The median is not anticipated to change significantly over the next 5 years. This is a comparatively young median as compared to state and national averages. The greatest percentage in Catoosa in 2001 is also in the 40-44 year band. However, the age bands are spread relatively evenly from 25 to 54 years. The median age is just under 35 in 2001. The median is not anticipated to change significantly over the next 5 years. This is a comparatively young median as compared to state and national averages.

Household Data Information provided by the U.S. Census Bureau indicates an average household size of 2.71 persons in Rogers County and 2.43 persons in the city of Claremore for the year 2000. The following table shows the housing unit breakdown for the two largest population centers of Rogers County. This data is from 1990 U.S. Census information assembled by CLARITAS Inc.

It should be noted that the previous information relates to all households within the area defined as a city by the census. In the case of Claremore, it is apparent that a significant population lives in the immediately surrounding areas. Demographic zip code breakdowns include larger areas and reflect substantially higher indications. It appears that at least ½ of the Rogers County population lives within the Claremore zip code area. The anticipated change in households in the various areas of Rogers County appears reasonable based on the previously shown population changes. The greatest anticipated percentage change should occur in Claremore and Catoosa due to its location and accessibility. The following table includes a breakdown of housing units within the county and owner/renter percentages. The table also includes estimates of median home values and median rents paid.

It should be noted that this information is taken from available 2000 U.S. Census information and estimates of Claritas. The survey data compiled by this analyst regarding current rental rates and occupancy levels is shown in a later section of this report. However, several conclusions can be drawn from the above information. The lowest vacancy indications come from the two largest and fastest growing population centers (Claremore & Catoosa). All of the county communities have relatively low vacancy percentages. This is reasonable based on the population growth in the county as previously discussed.

Page 12

Claremore has the greatest percentage of rental units and the highest median home values. Claremore is the employment center of the county and Catoosa benefits from being built around a highway between Claremore and Tulsa. As will be discussed later, a significant amount of new single family detached housing has occurred recently in Claremore. This new development increases the median home value for the area. Median rental rates for Claremore and the remainder of the county are relatively low. This is due to the lack of new rental unit development in the county recently. Rental rates since the census have increased significantly. This will be shown later in the report. The smaller communities tend to have a lower percentage of renter occupied housing. Much of the population of these communities tend to commute to larger employers in population centers. Renters tend to locate in close proximity to employment, if units are available for reasonable prices. Claremore has several large employers and Catoosa has a significant employment base as well as having the benefit of good accessibility to employment centers. Income Characteristics The following table shows income levels for different areas of Rogers County. This information is defined on a city area basis. The first column identifies 2001 median household income. The second column estimates median household income in 2006.

Income Levels in Rogers County

Source: CLARITAS Inc. Household income is anticipated to increase in all areas of Rogers County over the next several years. It is interesting to note that Catoosa has a median household income level much higher than that of Claremore. This may reflect Catoosa’s position as a bedroom community of Tulsa, rather than an independent economic entity like Claremore. The per capita indications reflect similar current and trend indications. Household income throughout the County is anticipated to increase approximately 10% during the next 5 years. The following chart reflects household income banding in Rogers County.

Talala Oologah Chelsea Inola Catoosa Claremore

The previous chart shows household income broken into bands by city area. The left vertical axis represents the number of households within a particular income range. These bands are based on 2001 income estimates. The 2001 median income for the county is $42,599. Based on the census data, 27.7% of the county households make less than $25,000 annually. Households in the $25,000 to $50,000 per year make up approximately 30.2% of the total and the remaining 42.1±% of households have incomes above $50,000. Economy

Page 14

The Rogers County area economic base is primarily concentrated in agriculture, petroleum, industry, and education. Because of its advantage as the county seat and excellent highway system connections, Claremore is the primary trade center for Rogers County. Historical economic growth for the area has been slow but steady. Claremore's relatively close proximity to City of Tulsa, Port of Catoosa, and Tulsa International Airport also provide additional employment opportunities for local residents. Based on June 2001 data, the county unemployment rate was 2.5%. The rate has been consistently below 3% since the beginning of 2000. The total number employed was 36,210 for the same time period. This indicator has increased annually since 1989.

Rogers County Unemployment RateState of Oklahoma Unemployment Rate

Several important issues are presented by the previous tables. The number of persons employed in Rogers County has increased steadily since 1990. The rate of increase appears to have slowed since 1999. During this period, the percentage of unemployed has consistently decreased, reaching a low of 2.2% in December, 2000. The second chart graphically displays the change in unemployment rate for Rogers County and the state of Oklahoma. Rogers County had higher unemployment rates until the beginning of 1995. Since that time the county unemployment has been lower than statewide averages. With a stable local economy and increasing population, the demand for housing and retail/commercial facilities should increase. The following chart lists the major employers impacting the labor market in the area.

These categories also include several large employers in Rogers County. The majority of the above noted employers have been located in Rogers County for several years and many have expanded their workforce. Most of the large employers are located in close proximity to Claremore or at the Port of Catoosa. The Port of Catoosa is a part of the Arkansas River Navigation Channel providing barge service to points as far south as New Orleans. This industrial area is just west of Catoosa and is the primary industrial area in Rogers County. Employment has been expanding in the county for the past few years and this trend is anticipated to continue as the economy grows. Information from the Center for Economic and Management Research, based on data provided by the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission, indicated a total workforce in Rogers County in June 2001 of 37,130 with 36,210 employed. This reflects a unemployment rate of 2.5%. This rate is well below statewide indications and reflects the economic growth of the area. The unemployment rate for the Tulsa Metropolitan Area in April 2001 was estimated at 2.4% and 2.7% for the state, according to data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The national average unemployment rate in April 2001 was 4.5%, also according to the BLS.

Rogers County Employment and Payroll by Major Industry Category: 1999 and 1998Source: U.S. Census Bureau County Business Patterns

The previous table identifies county employment and payroll by major industry in 1998 and 1999. The largest employment group is manufacturing followed by retail trade and health care. Manufacturing and retail trade had increases in employment from 1998 to 1999 while health care had a 9% decline. Most industry groups had increases in income levels. The Rogers County 1999 average annual payroll is higher than the state average in several categories including construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, and information but lower in categories including transportation and warehousing, finance & insurance, professional services, and health care services. Transportation The county is well located in relationship to state and national highway systems. U.S. Highway 412 traverses the southern edge of the county. Interstate 44, a major regional expressway, allows access throughout the southeast portion of the county. State Highway 66 crosses the county from southwest to northeast and U.S. Highway 169 and State Highway 88 allow north/south travel. Access to the Tulsa metropolitan area, Claremore, and most rural parts of the county is easily accessible from the various state and federal highways. Additionally, the county has a well maintained interior road system. The area is serviced by the Greyhound Bus Lines. Local rail service is provided daily by the Missouri-Pacific, and Burlington Northern Railroad with an average of four local trains per day. Motor freight carriers providing service on a daily basis include B & B Lines and C & P Lines.

Page 18

Other carriers include Campbell "66" Express, Riss International, Lee Way Motor Freight, Chief Freight Lines, Roadway Express, Yellow Transit, and Consolidated Freightways. Express lines include United Parcel, Magic Empire, and Mistletoe Express. The nearest commercial airport (Tulsa International) is located in Tulsa 25± miles southwest of Claremore. This airport offers regional, national and international carriers. City Governments The City of Claremore operates under a Mayor/Council form of government. The city provides a full time police department with 35 employees and a full time fire department with 21 employees. Both departments have fully qualified and equipped personnel. The local government utilizes a Comprehensive City Plan and zoning classifications are in force in the city limits. The smaller communities in the county typically have a combination of volunteer and/or full-time police and fire department personnel. Most have a mayor-council form of government. Most also have water and sanitary sewer facilities. Rural areas are dependent upon rural water supply and onsite septic systems for sanitary sewer. Medical Facilities County medical services are provided by the newly expanded Claremore Regional Health Center and the Claremore Indian Hospital, a federally operated institution. Professional services are offered by local physicians and dentists. Claremore also has a full time city/county health department providing health services to the community. The smaller county communities typically have either small out patient medical services or doctors officing in the community. Educational Facilities All of the county communities have public school facilities. In addition, the Northeastern Oklahoma Area Vo-Tech is located 10 miles east of Claremore on Highway 20. Rogers State College is a four year institution located in Claremore. Several other colleges and universities are accessible to students including Tulsa University, Rogers University, Oral Roberts University and Tulsa Community College. Each of these higher level institutions are located in Tulsa. Oklahoma State University is located in Stillwater, 90 miles from Claremore, and Oklahoma University is located in Norman, 150 miles southwest of Claremore. Conclusions The Rogers County economy experienced a recession as a result of the declines in the agricultural and energy sectors of the State's economy from 1983-1985. The depressed conditions persisted through the late 1980's to early 1990's. Recent economic indicators have improved significantly. The beginning of a recovery is evidenced by declining unemployment rates, increasing per capita income levels, increased real estate sales activity, declining vacancy rates, and gradual stabilization of both rental rates and market values in all real estate sectors. Although the economic recovery is expected to continue, it is reasonable to assume that the rate of growth will not continue at current levels.

Housing Supply Characteristics This section of the report will discuss the Rogers County housing market. Information in this section was gathered from the available public information, U.S. Census information, and Claritas, Inc. Claritas uses census information in conjunction with growth trends to estimate demographic changes in most cities nationwide. This analysis is concerned with the population centers of Claremore and Catoosa with an overview of the remainder of the county. Housing Supply Available 2000 Census information reflected 27,476 housing units in Rogers County. This included single and multifamily units that were owner occupied and rentals. The following chart reflects changes in the number of building permits in Rogers County since 1996. The figures for 1996 do not include data for the months of January or February for lack of information. This is the most recent information available. Building permit information is not available from 1990 to 1995. However, it is reasonable to assume, based on the 1996-2000 indications that the number of single family permits from 1990 to 1995 averaged around 250.

Rogers County Building Permit Activity

* Through March, 2001 The previous table shows new housing in Rogers County during the previous several years. The majority of new development has occurred in the single family residential market. The number of new single family permits increased in 1996 from the previous two years. The number of new single family permits represent an approximate increase of 1.5% in the total number of housing units based on the 2000 Census. The period of time between 1996 and 2000 saw a total increase of approximately 9% in the number of housing units just based on new single family development. The number of duplex and apartment units developed during this period was limited. A total of 13 duplexes (26 units) and 466 multifamily units have been developed since 1994. The highest concentration of new duplex development occurred in 1994. All apartment development has occurred in Claremore. New apartment development has consisted of a 20 unit expansion of an existing complex, a 38 unit rehabilitation of a downtown hotel for elderly living, a 312 unit market rate development, and a 96 unit affordable housing development. All of these developments were well received by the market and maintain high occupancy levels. The average single family permit value gives an indication in the change of cost during the past several years. The average permitted value has increased every year since 1995. It should be noted that the permit value does not include land cost and is estimated by the builder. These indications historically are low. The range of new home cost varies from approximately $50,000 to close to

Page 23

$500,000. The majority of new homes appear to be owner occupied. The exception is a large number of homes built in 1996 by the Cherokee Housing Authority in an addition just south of Claremore. These homes had an average cost of $55,000 and are for rent or purchase. The average cost of a new home in Rogers County during 2000, including land cost, appears to be close to $125,000. This represents a significant increase from prior years. The average in 1994 was $80,091 and in 1995 was $81,977. However, it is also apparent that overall, new single family housing is more expensive to build than in previous years. This may be due to increased materials costs or increased demand for construction employees which in turn has increased labor costs. It should also be noted that the 2000 median home values for the county (shown on page 11) reflect lower indications than the current average construction costs. The 1990 median home value for Rogers County was $53,985. This increased to just over $87,313 in 2001, a 61.7% increase. This indication is still well below the new home cost averages of the past few years. It is apparent that the majority of new single family residential development involves custom building for specific buyers rather than speculative building available to a wide market. This analyst spoke with several real estate professionals throughout the county. Custom and speculative new single family residential development is occurring in Claremore as well as other areas of the County. The growth in housing in the county has not kept pace with the growth in population since 1990 which has increased at an average rate of 2.8% annually. The number of new housing units, based on building permit data, has increased at an average of approximately 1.5% annually during the past 10 years. Although only a portion of the population will be single family home occupants, the growth in single family housing has increased at a slower pace than the growth of owner occupants. The anticipated growth in households from 2001 to 2006 was previously estimated at 9.69% for the county. This is approximately 2.0% annually. As the population continues to increase, the gap between housing supply and demand will continue to widen. Previous information indicated that 81.1% of the housing units in the county are owner occupied with the remaining 18.9% renter occupied. While single family residential development has expanded at a rate of approximately 1.5% per year for the past several years, multifamily development has only recently occurred in Claremore. No other communities have new multifamily development. It is reasonable to assume that as the population has increased, the number of potential renters has expanded. While new single family development has attempted to satisfy expanding area population, the expansion of renters has not been provided similar supply. County population growth, based on the rental household percentage would indicate a need for approximately 1,300 rental units countywide during the past 10 years. As mentioned previously, less than 500 multifamily units have been added to the market. Until 1998, the cost of new market rate apartment development was not financially feasible in Oklahoma due to low rental rate levels. Rental rates significantly increased in the large metropolitan areas in the late 1990's, spurring large numbers of new rental unit development. However, while some rental rate growth has also occurred in rural communities, the degree of increase has not been sufficient to economically justify new market rate rental housing. Most new multifamily development in rural communities has been with the assistance of government support including

Page 24

federal tax credits. One new market rate development has occurred in Claremore. This development has rents well above the other market rate alternatives, but still well below new properties in the city Tulsa. However, it has performed very well, maintaining high occupancy levels. New garden developments in Tulsa with good property amenities typically have a cost of over $60,000 per unit. Rental rates must be high enough to justify the cost in order to support new market based development. Claremore Single Family Sales Activity The following table shows single-family housing sales listed with a member of the Claremore Board of Realtors in Claremore during the past 4 years. It is reasonable to assume that these sales are primarily resales of existing housing stock since most new building permits involve custom homes built by a builder for a specific owner.

Several market conclusions can be drawn from the previous tables. Overall the Claremore single family market is active and healthy. The average list term is relatively short for all categories and the list price to sale price ratios reflect high demand for housing. As with the building permit

Page 26

indications, most categories reflect increasing sale prices over the past four years. The total sales of 2 to 4 bedroom units has increased in per unit price 24.9% since 1997. The number of 2 bedroom homes sold during 1997 through 1999 remained relatively stable with an increase in 2000. The average sale price increased significantly from 1997 to 1998 but dropped in 1999 and again in 2000. The average sale price increased 13.2% from 1997 to 2000. The ratio of list to sale price has consistently been above 90%, peaking at 99% in 1999. The average days on market has been less than 2 months with shortest indication of just over 1 month in 1999. Although the sale price indication has declined, the number of sales is recently increased and the ratio of sale price to list price is close to 100% indicating a strong market. The average size is reasonable for this floorplan. It should be noted that the average price per square foot increased from 1999 to 2000. This reflects the smaller average size of the unit sizes in 2000. Hence, the more reliable market indicator of value trends is the price/SF which accounts for differences in unit size as well as price. The number of 3 bedroom homes sold during 1997 through 2000 remained relatively stable. This floorplan is most common and most heavily traded. The average sale price increased in each year. The average sale price increased 21.9% from 1997 to 2000. The ratio of list to sale price has consistently been above 95%, peaking at 98.2% in 2000. The average days on market has been less than 2 months every year. It is apparent that a high demand exists for these homes based on the increase in sale price and the small amount of downward negotiation from the list price. The average size appears somewhat small for 3 bedroom units, but the resulting price per square foot indication is approaching $100 per foot. The per square foot indication has increased approximately 45% since 1997. The number of 4 bedroom homes sold during 1997 through 2000 remained relatively stable. The average sale price increased in 2000 after leveling in 1999. The average sale price increased 31.1% from 1997 to 2000. The ratio of list to sale price has consistently been above 95%, peaking at 97.5% in 1998. The average days on market has been approximately 2 months in 1998 through 2000 with a slightly longer period in 1997. It is apparent that a high demand exists for these homes based on the increase in sale price and the small amount of downward negotiation from the list price. It is interesting to note that the price per square foot indication was relatively level from 1997 through 1999 and increased significantly in 2000. The previous information is taken from available multiple listing service information of the Claremore Board of Realtors. Sales of single-family units for 1996 and year-to-date 1997 are reflected. The information involves primarily existing housing stock as custom homes are not listed on the market. In all cases, the number of sales has remained relatively stable, while the average unit price has increased. The number of units sold includes houses sold by a member of the Claremore Board of Realtors. It does not include sales by homeowners, non-Realtor members or sales of custom homes by builders. It is apparent from the above information that 3 bedroom homes are preferred by the market. In the information shown, approximately 67% of all sales were 3 bedroom homes.

Assuming interest rates remain close to current levels, the Claremore single-family market is expected to remain stable. However, as resale and new home prices escalate, an expanding segment of the lower income population will be excluded from home ownership. New Subdivisions It should also be noted that several new subdivisions have been platted in Claremore during the past several years. These include saddleback estates with 48 lots, Greenbriar with 77 lots, Pecan Chase with 44 lots, and Canterbury II with 77 lots. This new platting activity is a further indication of likely continued single family development in Claremore into the foreseeable future. Claremore Rental Data The following table shows apartment rents for complexes in Claremore. This table is included to give the reader a better understanding of the availability and cost of rental housing in the city. Rental information is also included for the other population centers in Rogers County.

The previous rent surveys encompass several hundred rental units in seven complexes. These properties are located throughout the community and provide a good indication of the availability and rental structure of multifamily property. The comparables were constructed mostly prior to the mid-1980's, except for the Chalet 1400 expansion in 1995 and Deer Run which was new in 2000. Most of the older apartment complexes have similar physical characteristics. The following property characteristics were identified as the major variables which directly affect market rental rates. Although this analyst recognizes other minor differences or characteristics would require an appropriate adjustment, an empirical dollar amount is not discernable from the market. The city also has 200± units in three, Section 8 or HUD-Seniors projects

New Construction $25 Exterior Storage Closets $5 Washer/Dryer Hookups $20 Carports $10 Special Complex Features $10

Concessions such as free rent or no deposit were not evident in the competitive market survey. These inducements appear to have phased out over the market, and appear only sporadically at individual complexes to induce leasing activity in a particular unit type. Review of historical rental data indicates the comparable rental rates have increased in a predominant range of $10 to $20 per unit per month annually over the past 36 months. Occupancy levels in the Claremore area have continued to increase to its present level in the upper 90% range. Rental rates also increased during this same period. The area should continue to show good rental rate and occupancy support due to proximity to the employment centers and limited number of new available units. A rental market factor in Claremore is Rogers State University. Rogers recently expanded its curriculum to 4 years. The university is currently building a residence hall which will house up to 250 students. Prior to this addition, the university had no residence hall capacity. This addition to the market may slightly soften the overall Claremore multifamily market. Based on the number of units identified as rentals by the 1990 Census, it is reasonable to assume that a significant number of single family residences are rentals as well as smaller complexes (under 20 units) not surveyed by this analyst. This analyst also spoke to a property manager with approximately 30 single family houses and/or duplexes which rent in Claremore. These units are 2, 3, and 4 bedroom floorplans and rent in the $500 to $650 per month range. Some of the older 2 bedroom duplexes rent for $350 to $375 per month. The property manager noted that the units are typically 100% occupied and can be rented as quickly as the vacancy occurs. She receives several calls a day inquiring about available units. Increasing occupancy and rental rates during the early 1990's supports the demand for new apartments in Claremore. Based on the success of the available units, well diversified economy, and continued growth of the business base, it is apparent that additional supply will be needed in the future Market Vacancy This section will discuss the trends of vacancy in the rental market over the past few years. The developments outlined previously report occupancy levels typically above 95%. These occupancy levels are typical of well maintained and poorly maintained properties alike. The ability of older, physically deteriorating facilities to maintain high occupancy levels reflects the lack of superior alternatives in the Claremore market. The Section 8 units, according to property managers, typically

Page 29

stay well occupied. The overall market vacancy of total housing units was reported at 7.4% by the 2000 U.S. Census. A portion of this percentage is attributable to single family residences which are typically owner occupied. As noted above, the majority of complexes in Claremore report occupancy levels above 95%. Although this analyst’s survey does not include all rental units in Claremore, it represents a reasonable market sample of available units. It is the opinion of this analyst that the overall vacancy rate will remain at minimal levels if no new units are added. It is also obvious that new moderately priced well managed apartment developments would be quickly absorbed and not have a significant negative impact on existing properties. Infill Lot Inventory The city of Claremore does not maintain an inventory of infill lots. It is apparent that some infill lots are available in older areas close to the downtown district. These lots which are vacant or occupied by vacant deteriorated housing, are a good source for affordable housing. Infill lots have all services provided and typically are relatively inexpensive. It is the recommendation of this report, that the city of Claremore gather an inventory of infill lots. Substandard Housing The city of Claremore does not have an inventory of substandard housing. Substandard housing is defined by HUD to have incomplete kitchen or plumbing facilities. Although the 2000 census information regarding this issue is not yet available, the 1990 census for Claremore identified 45 housing units lacking complete kitchen facilities and 56 housing units lacking complete plumbing facilities. It also is noted that 63 housing units are heated by wood. This also is considered to be a substandard item. It is unknown if some of these units have both kitchen and plumbing deficiencies. However, it is apparent that less than 100 units in Claremore were considered substandard in 1990. It is reasonable to assume that this number has remained relatively level as units have been demolished and other units have fallen in disrepair.

Catoosa Single Family Sales Activity The following table shows single-family housing sales listed with a member of the Board of Realtors in Catoosa during the past 4 years. It is reasonable to assume that these sales are primarily resales of existing housing stock since most new building permits involve custom homes built by a builder for a specific owner.

Several market conclusions can be drawn from the previous tables. Overall the Catoosa single family market is fairly active. The average list term is relatively short for all categories and the list price to sale price ratios reflect good demand for housing. Most categories reflect increasing sale prices over

Page 31

the past four years. The total sales of 2 to 4 bedroom units has increased in per unit price 24.9% since 1997. The number of 2 bedroom homes sold during 1997 through 1999 remained relatively stable with an increase in 2000. The average sale price increased significantly from 1997 to 1998 but dropped in 1999 and again in 2000. The average sale price increased 23.4% from 1997 to 2000. With the exception of 1997, the ratio of list to sale price has consistently been above 90%, peaking at 98% in 1999. The average days on market has fluctuated from 9 days in 1997 to 87 days in 1999. The year 2000 indication was 40 days. Although the sale price indication has declined, the number of sales is recently increased and the ratio of sale price to list price is close to 100% indicating a strong market. The decline in sale price may be a reflection of available inventory. Additionally, the averages are significantly affected by single sales due to the small number of sales in the calculation. The number of 3 bedroom homes sold during 1997 through 2000 remained relatively stable. This floorplan is most common and most heavily traded. The average sale price increased in each year. The average sale price increased 37.9% from 1997 to 2000. The ratio of list to sale price has consistently been above 95%, peaking at 97.0% in 1998. The average days on market has ranged from 46 to 83 days with the shortest indication in 2000. It is apparent that a high demand exists for these homes based on the increase in sale price and the small amount of downward negotiation from the list price. The average indications appear to be questionable due to the relatively small number of sales. The average size dropped significantly in 1998 which results in a very high price per square foot indication. The averages in 2000 appear reasonable based on available information. The number of 4 bedroom homes sold during 1997 through 2000 fluctuated from 1 to 15 with the highest number in 2000. This may reflect available inventory. The average sale price has fluctuated, but this indication is inconclusive due to the small number of sales. However, it is interesting to note that the average sale price for a 4 bedroom home in Claremore during 2000 was under $158,000 as compared to $163,500 for Catoosa. This suggests that the larger homes in Catoosa are a good quality product with strong demand. The ratio of list to sale price has consistently been above 94%, peaking at 98.3% in 2000. The average days on market has been approximately 2 to 3 months in 1998 through 2000. It is apparent that a high demand exists for these homes based on the recent average sale price and the small amount of downward negotiation from the list price. The averages are significantly affected by the small number of sales and may not be representative of the overall market. The previous information is taken from available multiple listing service information of the Board of Realtors. The information involves primarily existing housing stock as custom homes are not listed on the market. In most cases, the number of sales has remained relatively stable, while the average unit price has increased. The number of units sold includes houses sold by a member of the local Board of Realtors. It does not include sales by homeowners, non-Realtor members or sales of custom homes by builders. It is apparent from the above information that 3 bedroom homes are preferred by the market. In the information shown, approximately 67% of all sales were 3 bedroom homes. Assuming interest rates remain close to current levels, the Catoosa single-family market is expected

Page 32

to remain stable. However, as resale and new home prices escalate, an expanding segment of the lower income population will be excluded from home ownership. Catoosa Rental Data The following table shows apartment rents for Catoosa. This table is included to give the reader a better understanding of the availability and cost of rental housing in the city. Catoosa is a small community with limited rental property available.

8. Carport A survey of Catoosa revealed only one market rate apartment community. The complex above has a total of 30 units. The property has a waiting list for available units. Other market rental property in the community is made up of duplexes or single family units. The Cherokee Housing Authority is active within Catoosa. The Cherokee tribe operates a low income apartment community in Catoosa. The property has a waiting list for available units. Rents at the complex are based on income levels of tenants. Occupancy levels in Catoosa area rental property appear to be stable. The market rental managers noted that their respective properties remain fully occupied the majority of the time. The manager of the Riverport Apartments reported 2 vacancies which were preleased and in the process of being cleaned for new tenants. The subject's area should continue to show good rental rate and occupancy support due to the growth of the area and lack of alternatives. Market Vacancy Based on the number of units identified as rentals by the 1990 Census, it is reasonable to assume that a significant number of single family residences are rentals as well as smaller complexes (under 8 units) not surveyed by this analyst. Increasing occupancy and rental rates during the early 1990's supports the demand for new apartments in Catoosa. The Chamber of Commerce noted that new units are planned in Catoosa. However, this analyst could not verify this statement. The owner of the Riverport Apartments owns adjacent land and has recently considered construction of additional units. Based on the success of the available units, well diversified economy, and continued growth of the business base, it is apparent that additional supply will be needed in the future. The overall market vacancy of total housing units was reported at 5.8% by the 2000 U.S. Census. A portion of this percentage is attributable to single family residences which are typically owner occupied. The population has grown, the economy has improved, but no new rental property has been developed

Page 33

since the census. It is reasonable to assume that new rental property is needed in Catoosa and would be quickly absorbed. Although this analyst’s survey does not include all rental units in Catoosa, it represents a reasonable market sample of available units. It is the opinion of this analyst that the overall vacancy rate will remain at minimal levels if no new units are added. It is also obvious that new moderately priced well managed apartment developments would not have a significant negative impact on existing properties. Infill Lot Inventory The city of Catoosa does not maintain an inventory of infill lots. It is apparent that some infill lots are available in older areas. These lots which are vacant or occupied by vacant deteriorated housing, are a good source for affordable housing. Infill lots have all services provided and typically are relatively inexpensive. It is the recommendation of this report, that the city of Catoosa produce an inventory of infill lots. Substandard Housing The city of Catoosa does not have an inventory of substandard housing. Substandard housing is defined by HUD to have incomplete kitchen or plumbing facilities. Although the 2000 census information regarding this issue is not yet available, the 1990 census for Catoosa identified no housing units with inadequate kitchen or plumbing facilities. However, it is noted that 18 housing units are heated by wood. This also is considered to be a substandard item. It is apparent that less than 25 units in Claremore were considered substandard in 1990. It is reasonable to assume that this number has remained relatively level as units have been demolished and other units have fallen in disrepair.

Anticipated Future Demand Future demand for housing units in Rogers County can be estimated from population and household growth. Population estimates are based on known factors such as noted increases in the city employment base and indications from demographic services. Claritas Marketing Systems and the Claremore Chamber of Commerce estimate demographic information. Where available, actual census information has been relied upon. The estimates of changes in households and population were presented in a previous section of this report. The anticipated future demand is estimated for Rogers County as a whole, the City of Claremore, and the City of Catoosa. The calculations are shown in the following tables. Rogers County Demand

Page 34

The increase in population in Rogers County between 1990 and 2000 represents 28.0% increase or a 2.5% annual compounded increase in population. Estimated increases from 2001 to 2006 indicate growth at a slower rate. The estimated compounded growth of households is 1.94% annually from 2001 to 2006. These slightly lower increases, as compared to population changes, are due to the increasing size of the average household size and an anticipated economic slowdown. These changes are estimates by Claritas Marketing Systems, a national demographics trend analysis firm. The percentage of renter households was estimated at 18.9% with owner households estimated at 81.1% of the total city population. The estimated number of additional units needed to service increasing demand can be estimated by applying this percentage to the anticipated growth in households. It should be noted that this is an estimate of rental and owner requirements and should be relied upon only as a guideline for possible new demand. The calculations are shown below. Household size tends to remain fairly constant and is estimated for this analysis at 2.71 persons per household. The population increases are estimated at 2.0% annually which is less than the percentage growth estimate from 1990 to 2000, but above the Claritas estimate which appears low. However, it is reasonable to assume some moderation in growth based on the cyclical nature of regional economies.

Anticipated Future Housing Demand in Rogers County

The previous table reflects a necessary addition 513 rental units and 2200 ownership units in Rogers County during the next five years. This is based on anticipated changes in county population. The new owner households represent 440 per year. It is interesting to note that in 2000, just over 400 new single family residences were added to the market in Rogers County. It is reasonable to assume that the majority of these units were constructed for owner occupancy. Approximately 450 rental units have been added to the Claremore market over the past 5 years, excluding the new resident housing at the university. It is obvious from the above information that a current demand exists for rental housing in all areas of Rogers County and this demand will continue to grow. This assumption was verified with several real estate professionals located throughout the county. Many apartment managers in the secondary population centers noted that a significant portion of their tenants commute to work in Claremore due to the lack of available housing in the county seat. Claremore Anticipated Demand The increase in population in Claremore between 1990 and 2000 represents 19.5% increase or a 1.80% annual compounded increase in population. Estimated increases from 2001 to 2006 indicate growth at a slower rate. The estimated compounded growth of households is 1.27% annually from 2001 to 2006. These slightly lower increases, as compared to population changes, are due to the

Page 35

increasing size of the average household size and an anticipated economic slowdown. These changes are estimates by Claritas Marketing Systems, a national demographics trend analysis firm and the Claremore Chamber of Commerce. The percentage of renter households was estimated at 37.8% with owner households estimated at 62.2% of the total city population. The estimated number of additional units needed to service increasing demand can be estimated by applying this percentage to the anticipated growth in households. It should be noted that this is an estimate of rental and owner requirements and should be relied upon only as a guideline for possible new demand. The calculations are shown below. Household size tends to remain fairly constant and is estimated for this analysis at 2.43 persons per household. The population increases are estimated at 1.5% annually which is less than the percentage growth estimate from 1990 to 2000, but above the Claritas estimate which appears low. However, it is reasonable to assume some moderation in growth based on the cyclical nature of regional economies.

The previous table reflects a necessary addition 191 rental units and 314 ownership units in the city of Claremore during the next five years. This is based on anticipated changes in city population. The new owner households represent 63 per year and new rental households represent 38 per year. It must be noted that the previous analysis reflect only the city of Claremore. It is reasonable to assume that the majority of these units were constructed for owner occupancy. Catoosa Anticipated Demand The increase in population in Catoosa between 1990 and 2000 represents 84.5% increase or a 6.31% annual compounded increase in population. Estimated increases from 2001 to 2006 indicate growth at a slower rate. The estimated compounded growth of households is .63% annually from 2001 to 2006. However, it should also be noted that Claritas did not anticipate the significant amount of growth which occurred in the 1990’s. Some of the Catoosa growth is the result of annexation which would not have been attributed for in the Claritas estimates. However, it is the opinion of this analyst that the rate of growth will decline over the next 5 years to between 2.5% and 3.5% annually. These slightly lower increases, as compared to population changes, are due to the increasing size of the average household size and an anticipated economic slowdown. The percentage of renter households was estimated at 27.3% with owner households estimated at 72.7% of the total city population. The estimated number of additional units needed to service increasing demand can be estimated by applying this percentage to the anticipated growth in

Page 36

households. It should be noted that this is an estimate of rental and owner requirements and should be relied upon only as a guideline for possible new demand. The calculations are shown below. Household size tends to remain fairly constant and is estimated for this analysis at 2.72 persons per household. The population increases are estimated at 3.0% annually which is less than the percentage growth estimate from 1990 to 2000 but reasonable based on the location of the city, ongoing development, and anticipated economic growth. It is reasonable to assume some moderation in growth based on the cyclical nature of regional economies.

Anticipated Future Housing Demand in Catoosa

The previous table reflects a necessary addition 87 rental units and 232 ownership units in the city of Catoosa during the next five years. This is based on anticipated changes in city population. The new owner households represent 46 per year and new rental households represent 17 per year. It must be noted that the previous analysis reflects only the city of Catoosa. It is reasonable to assume that the majority of these units were constructed for owner occupancy. Summary and Conclusions The previous analysis has attempted to described the state of the residential housing market in Rogers County, Oklahoma. Where possible, information regarding the population centers of the county was included to assess need on a community level. Much of the information is based on demographic information from local authorities and national information services. However, personal interviews were performed with property the and owners and managers, real estate professionals, and community officials in an effort to substantiate information from the national organizations and understand current market conditions. Several important issues regarding housing have become apparent through this analysis and are identified below. Rogers County has undergone significant growth during the past several years in population and economy. The Claremore Chamber of Commerce states that Rogers County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state since 1990 and Claremore is one of the fastest growing cities with over 10,000 population in the state for the same period. Available population data support these claims. The county population has almost tripled since 1970. Since 1990, the county population has increased at an average annual rate of 2.8%. While growth has occurred throughout the county, Claremore, the county seat, has increased during the 1990’s at a rate of approximately 2.0% annually. This growth can be attributed to economic development of the industrial and commercial base, relatively low land prices for development, and easy access to employment centers or business

opportunities in Tulsa. The Catoosa has also shown significant population increases. This is largely due to its location between telephone and Claremore Available 2,000 U.S. Census information reflected approximately twenty 27,476 housing units in the county. This is an increase of over 7,000 housing units since 1990 which indicates a percentage increase of approximately 37.4%. Based on available building permit information, the number of new single family residences has been increasing at a rate of approximately 1.5% for the past several years. The majority of these homes are “custom” built for a specific buyer. This is reflected by the average new home price of approximately $112,000 year 2000. This pricing trend is also consistent in home resale’s where average sale prices have increased significantly over the past several years. The average home value in the county in 1990 was estimated at $53,985. This increased to $87,313 in 2001, a 65% increase. This is based on Claritas estimates. Actual year 2,000 census data is not yet available for the average home value. However is apparent that values across the county have increased significantly for new and resale property. While significant new development has occurred, it is apparent that moderately priced housing marketed towards households at or below the median income level, does not reflect a large percentage of these new homes. The 2,001 median household income for Rogers County was estimated at $42,599. Typical mortgage requirements would allow a homeowner with this income a monthly payment of approximately $1,000 per month (excluding real estate tax or property insurance). This would justify a mortgage, based on current available terms, of approximately $150,000. These estimates justify much of the new county residential development. However, approximately 27.7% of the county households have a median income below $25,000 annually and 41.35% make less than $35,000 annually. These households could afford a significantly lower monthly living cost and based on the average new home cost may not have easy access to new single family home ownership. It is also important to note that although the family may be able to afford the monthly mortgage payment, a significant down payment would also be required to afford a house which costs well above $100,000. Some new ownership and rental property is being developed for the lower income groups. It is being done sporadically by indian tribes and affordable home developers throughout the county. The Delaware and Cherokee tribes have rental and ownership property in Catoosa, Claremore, and Inola. These properties are typically occupied based on income of the tenant. Although these developments provide housing for the lower income groups, tribe members are given preference for tenancy or ownership. The number of new or planned units in these programs is limited and will not noticeably increase overall supply or satisfy demand. A new affordable rental housing development is currently under construction in Claremore. This development is targeted towards moderate income families. Most other new rental housing in the county is market rate. The 2,000 U.S. census information estimated owner occupied housing vacancy at 1.9% and a rental vacancy rate of 8.2 percent. 81.1% of the housing units owner occupied and the remainder (18.9%) were renter occupied. Current surveys by this analyst revealed occupancy levels of rental and owner property at well over 95% in the population centers (Claremore, Chelsea, Catoosa, Oologah, and Inola.) Virtually all property managers and real estate professionals noted very little vacancy in rental units throughout the county.

While some areas have rental developments under construction, it is apparent from building permit information that new multifamily housing development has been limited for several years. This is due to the cost ineffectiveness of development. New multifamily housing development costs in Tulsa recently are $60 to $70 per square foot of living area or $55,000 to $65,000 per unit. Rental rates of at least $.80/SF per month are required to financially justify new multifamily construction. This indicates $520/month for a typical one bedroom unit (650 SF) and $680/month for a typical 2 bedroom unit (850 SF). These costs assume that the tenant is responsible for partial utility payment. It is reasonable to assume that new multifamily development in Rogers County could be accomplished for significantly less cost due to cheaper land costs and by reducing property amenities. However, current market rental rates for apartments in Rogers County range around $300-$400 for one bedrooms and $400 to $600 for two bedroom units. The disparity between market rent and cost effective development rent is significant. The gap between current market rent and rents required to make development financially feasible should continue to close due to constant strong demand for rental units. However, new multifamily development is currently needed in all parts of Rogers County. Median income levels suggest that a portion of the population could afford the higher rental rates which support development. However, as with single family ownership development, a large percentage of the population would be excluded from new multifamily housing based on cost required rents. This indicates that in order for multifamily development to be economically feasible, developers must receive some financial incentive to build. In summary, it is apparent that new housing in several categories is required in Rogers County. While the upper end of the market is being satisfied, the lower end of the population which requires rental and moderate cost ownership property has a very limited product available. Demand for rental housing is currently strong in all areas of the county. As the population continues to grow, this demand will continue to increase. It is the opinion of this analyst that a significant need exists for rental housing in all price ranges. Additionally, single family ownership property is needed in the price ranges typically below $80,000.
