EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Landlords have reported that more Tenants are renewing rather than
The Baton Rouge office market continued to show slow improvement throughout 2012. downsizing or vacating and there has been a slow trickle of new tenants entering the market and some local expansion. While there is mixed reaction on the overall health of the market, most agree that it has at least stabilized or slightly improved. Transactions are moving at a steadier pace with companies feeling more confidence in the economy. Tenants still perceive it to be a favorable market and continue to seek aggressive rental rates, large concessions, free rent, flexible lease term, and abundant tenant improvement allowances; especially those with a national or international reach. However, most local landlords have been able to keep the concessions under reasonable control. Those who did get aggressive to lease vacant space mainly chose to lower rental rates or increase TI allowances slightly to sign tenants. Demand is becoming stronger for buildings with efficient space. More owners and tenants are focusing on energy efficiency, green initiatives, paperless environments, open/flexible floor plans, and cubicles to create lower occupancy costs. Older buildings that are functionally obsolete are being overlooked by tenants and may require some renovation to attract tenants. Sales activity is also on the rise as owner occupant transactions picked up substantially in 2012. The investment market is still slow, especially with speculative markets, but as occupancy continues to rise it should improve. New construction has been limited mainly due to difficult financing requirements and construction costs. Overall, activity has continued to increase in early 2013, and early indications are again pointing towards a slowly improving market. seen prior to hurricane Katrina. Occupancy levels have continuously risen for the past three years and we are now back to traditional levels

A few notable transactions have changed the office landscape over the past year. It was announced in late 2012 that the Commerce Building downtown was purchased to be redeveloped into multi-family. The adjacent former Capital One building is under contract for the same purpose after Capital One relocated into One American Place in late 2012. Additionally, the sale of 1771 Lobdell Avenue to a church/non-profit group has taken this building out of use. All of these buildings were deleted from the survey this year. The current State Farm Operations Center located at Towne Center will be vacant late this year as State Farm has plans to relocate. This will create a 66,000 square foot vacancy in the market. However, the location, condition of the space, and quality of the building is sure to produce strong interest.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The demand for industrial real estate strengthened throughout 2012, and the trend should continue into 2013. By the end of 2012, the inventory vacancy rate stood at approximately 11.60% as compared to 14.36% at yearend 2011. This is an important note, as this reflects the third consecutive year that available industrial space has declined. The last recorded vacancy rate of 11% was in 2004, a marketplace considered stable and not stimulated by the abnormal impact on demand for space resulting from Hurricane Katrina (20052006). By comparison, the national industrial vacancy rate yearend was near 10% and dropping into 2013. Absorption, the net change in occupied inventory from one year to the next, rounded out at 868,000 square feet, nearly quadrupling the net absorption of 220,945 square feet in 2011. While a statistically significant event, this number should be noted with some degree of caution, as large blocks of space in bulk storage facilities were absorbed with relatively short-term leases in place. The leading factor for absorption was the sale or lease of bulk warehouse distribution space to logistic companies that facilitate the packaging and shipment of plastic and chemical products manufactured from local chemical and petroleum producers. Additionally, as the economy strengthened, so did small businesses which absorbed smaller industrial buildings (5,000 to 10,000 square feet). The abundance of low cost natural gas used as a feed stock to the petro-chemical manufacturers has been the number one reason for a rebound in the greater Baton Rouge industrial real estate market, a trend carried over from the previous year. This is particularly evident in East Baton Rouge, Ascension, and West Baton Rouge

Staying Strong... Building Stronger! Stronger
2013 INDUSTRIAL TRENDS COMMITTEE Parishes due to their areas proximity to the plants, and better/closer access to the interstate-highway systems, skilled labor and the availability of rail. Existing service companies operating in this field, such as industrial cleaning, supply stores, and engineered product service centers are expanding facilities; and newcomers are entering the market and opening regional office-warehouses from out of state. The merger of companies and the consolidation of service centers with multiple locations under the one roof concept is a continuing trend.

Demand for space from companies operating in the consumer goods and business service sectors have improved, but vary according to products. As the heavy industrial segment of the industry expands and adds jobs, and US factory orders go up, so will consumer demand for housing, office, and retail. This directly affects the demand for office-warehouse space of every size, but especially the space needed less than 20,000 square feet.
20 13
The Tuscaloosa Shale play for oil exploration has not developed as rapidly as expected; and therefore did not have an impact on demand for industrial space, which would have benefited East Feliciana, West Feliciana, and St. Helena Parishes.
Land is again beginning to trade for both the large petro-chemical operators, investors with build to suit projects and speculative purchases, and companies that are either moving from a lease interest to ownership or expanding. This interest has occurred more frequently in Ascension Parish and parts of East Baton Rouge Parish.

INDUSTRIAL Trends
2013 forecast
The industrial market should continue to show improved absorption rates and declining vacancies. Expect vacancy rates to be between 9% and 10% by yearend 2013. The largescale industrial projects started, not including the announced projects underway, are investments well into the billions of dollars. Some speculative small scale building is beginning and will continue to occur to satisfy the pent-up demand that is now moving forward after years of deliberation, especially in the southeast areas of East Baton Rouge Parish and Ascension Parish. Suitable land, zoning and the associated development costs will temper this somewhat. The announcement of Katoen Naties construction of 2,000,000 square feet bulk warehouse in Baton Rouge (first phase 600,000 square feet) may have an effect on existing numerous small warehouses servicing the plastic and chemical industries where short term leasing are in place. Landlords holding these properties may need to source other long term industries requiring storage and distribution. Therefore, the committee cautions against large scale development for bulk storage and distribution facilities. National service companies, both industrial and heavy commercial, will continue to seek locations for consolidation of multiple facilities. Rents should improve modestly in the growth areas; however, older facilities will remain locked in at the same rates or possibly even decrease.

Baton Rouge Apartment Market introduction & Summation

Data collected and analyzed each Spring & Fall (most recently in Fall/Winter 201213) regarding apartment rentals and vacancies by Cook, Moore & Associates (CMA), the LSU Real Estate Research Institute, the CID of GBRAR and the Baton Rouge Apartment Association (BRAA) suggests that apartment vacancies in the Baton Rouge area have declined to a level slightly lower than historical norms. Prior to Katrina, the Baton Rouge Apartment Association was reporting city-wide vacancies at 8%. A similar figure (6%) was reported in the LSU/CMA Spring 2005 report (PreKatrina). For roughly 3 years following the arrival of Hurricane Katrina (August 29, 2005), both survey sources were reporting less than 1% vacancy market-wide. Vacancies rose in 2008-10 (as a result of a post-Katrina construction boom), but declined in 2012. The Fall/Winter 2012-13 LSU/CMA report reflects 5.57% vacancy market-wide (154 complexes surveyed), down from 6.84% vacancy reported in East Baton Rouge Parish for January 2012. We analyzed two sets of rental data (collected in the Spring and/or Fall each year), which differ by composition and number of properties included. The larger matched dataset consists of 136 complexes, with a smaller matched sample of 49 large (200+ unit) complexes also analyzed. Rentals for the 136-complex matched sample increased 2.1% from January 2012 to January 2013 (over a 12-month period). The reported vacancy rate for the matched sample was 5.56% (down from 6.0% in Fall 2011; note that this figure excludes consideration of the newly-built & vacant units in the new complexes in lease-up). The matched sample of units is a strong indicator of overall trends.

A bulleted summary of our key considerations & expectations is provided: The diminished availability of mortgage financing for home purchases 2013 MULTI-FAMILY TRENDS COMMITTEE D. Wesley Moore, II MIA, CCIM Speaker, Trends Cook, Moore & Associates SEAN MCDONALD, MAI Cook, Moore & Associates craig davenport Cook, Moore & Associates Abby MCMASTERS Cook, Moore & Associates appears to have substantially slowed the transition of renters to home ownership, resulting in greater tenant retention. Tenants lacking a strong credit rating, income history and/or assets for down payment now have much greater difficulty in securing mortgage financing and graduating to home ownership. This appears to have a been a catalyst for absorption of the incoming units over the past 5+ years. The supply of rental units in the Baton Rouge MSA has increased substantially
(5,682 new apartment units were completed from when Katrina hit on August 29, 2005 through the end of 2011, 632 units were built in 2012, 781 units are under construction, and 1,281 units are proposed for construction in 201314). The total new rental supply for 2006-14 could exceed 8,300 units, which would equate to roughly 930 units per year over a 9-year span (if all of the planned units are completed by the end of 2014). Market-wide vacancies have returned to a level of roughly 5.5%, with rental increases in 2012 consistent with historical norms (average rentals rose to $0.93/square foot, reflecting 2% growth). Economic rents and occupancies (net of concessions, typically in the form of waived rentals, or free appliances) have moderated in many market segments, as competitive pressures to lease the remaining inventory of new/ vacant units appear to still be having an effect. Net absorptions for the new complexes, per discussions with owners and managers, have predominantly hovered in the range of 10 to 30 units per month. The historical norm for new complexes locally has been 12 to 20 units per month.

multi-family Trends
Consideration should also be given to the 1,954 for sale condo units built in the Baton Rouge MSA during 2006-10. These have historically drawn primarily on the segment of the market oriented toward owner-occupancy, but many have been acquired by investors, or have been converted back to rental units by the original developers (who have had difficulty attracting purchasers capable of securing mortgage financing since 2008) and represent competition for traditional rental units. Absorption of these units by investors has diminished greatly, as financing for these acquisitions has become extremely difficult to secure. Virtually all proposed condo projects have been put on hold (except for a few, small, student-oriented projects near LSU).
The basic mechanics of housing demand are as follows: the national and local
norm has historically been roughly 2.75 people per household, so, for each 1,000 people that have remained long-term in Baton Rouge as a direct result of Katrina, we should need to have roughly 360 additional housing units to satisfy the incremental demand created by such a population increase. As roughly 33% of the local units have historically been renter-occupied, roughly 120 of these 360 units (per thousand residents) need to be rental units. As the Baton Rouge areas long-term population increased by roughly 30,000 directly due to Katrina (as well as the normal population growth we would normally have generated), the local market should have been able to absorb roughly 3,600 new rental apartment units to satisfy the incremental longterm demand stirred by Katrina without producing materially adverse impact on the existing rental housing stock. While the Post-Katrina additions to the supply of rental units has exceeded this mark, the single-family residential mortgage market wild card appears to have come into play (as the adverse impact on market occupancies such an oversupplied state should produce has not been noted).

multi-family Trends
A key impetus for the substantial construction in 2006-08 was the GO Zone Act, which generated substantial short-term tax benefits for those investing in newly-built realty. To take advantage of the GO Zone benefits, however, new apartments in the Baton Rouge area had to have a certificate of occupancy in place prior to December 31, 2008. These federal tax incentives prompted initiation of construction for certain apartment units that might otherwise not have commenced. The 12/31/08 deadline (and the associated rush to complete units by then) might have resulted in a ripple throughout the local apartment market, but for the other considerations previously mentioned. The absence of this incentive should have slowed the influx of new units, though there are still 781 units under construction, and 1,281 more units proposed/ planned.
20 13
multi-family Trends
In Spring 2008, we expected the local apartment market to become highly concessionary by the end of 2008, particularly in the Class A submarket. While it took a while longer for the ripple to surface, by latter 2009 we began to see free month and a free TV (or other similarly structured) concessions offered at a number of the upscale properties. As the vast majority of the incoming supply of units has been upscale, the Class A properties appear to have felt the brunt of the competitive pressures from the incoming units. Their competitive adjustments in 2009-10 appear to have eventually forced rental adjustments by the Class B properties, who then put pricing pressure on Class C properties. Nobody is bullet-proof. With the additional supply absorbed in 2012, competitive pressures appear to be subsiding, and rental increases have proven more readily attainable.
There was a short-term oversupply of apartment units in the Livingston Parish
submarket that resulted from the completion of 3 complexes with a combined total of 512 units. BRAA reported 32% vacancy in this submarket in their 2011 survey. Absorptions in the 3 new complexes have, however, been strong (roughly 20 units per month), and the newer complexes are now reporting occupancies of over 90%.
The critical factors that will ultimately drive the long-term demand for, and
absorption of, additional housing units in the Baton Rouge area are the number of jobs that can be retained locally (where the jobs go, the population will follow) and the ability of our infrastructure (roads, schools, governing bodies) to accommodate this growth and maintain the character and marketability of Baton Rouge as a place to live. Baton Rouge appears to have dodged the brunt of the recession, and remains well positioned to prosper. With numerous recent announcements of major industrial expansions and planned construction of multi-billion dollar facilities in the Baton Rouge MSA, we expect further population expansion (and correspondingly positive absorptions of new and existing apartment units).

II. New Apartment Construction

Baton Rouge experienced a recovery period in apartment construction from 1995 to 2005. During this period, 36 apartment complexes containing a total of 6,800 rental units (excluding for sale condos) were built in Baton Rouge. Very few of those new complexes offered standard, mid-grade apartment units (i.e., virtually all were oriented toward niche markets, such as students or lower-income households). The vast majority of the new supply over the past 20 years has been oriented toward either more affluent tenants, or lower-income households. Roughly 5,682 new apartment units were completed from when Katrina hit on August 29, 2005 through the end of 2011, then 632 units were built in 2012, now 781 units are under construction, and 1,281 units are proposed for construction in 2013-14). The total new rental supply for 2006-14 could exceed 8,300 units, which would equate to roughly 930 units per year over a 9-year span (if all of the planned units are completed by the end of 2014). The new apartment complexes built, underway and/or planned in Baton Rouge area are listed on the following pages.

Not included in the following list may be additional properties (in the planning and/or financing stages) for which the site has not been purchased, site plan approval has not been granted and/or plans have not been publicly announced. As construction of new units cannot occur without site plan approval and the process of acquiring such approval is highly political and speculative (as can be the site acquisition process), inclusion of such properties in a traditional pipeline analysis would be inappropriate.

A Survey of Shopping Centers in Baton Rouge: Spring 2013

This report was prepared from data collected from e-mail and telephone surveys of shopping center managers, leasing agents, and owners conducted by members of the Baton Rouge TRENDS in Real Estate Retail Committee. Surveys were conducted in February and March 2013. Extensive independent verification was not provided, however quoted rents and/or vacancies that appeared anomalous were checked.
Description of the Analysis

Once again our survey included breaking down data for anchored and nonanchored spaces. We believe this is the best indicator of what small shop space is actually leasing for. Previous surveys reflected rental rates collected on a high-low basis, with an average rental rate for each property calculated based on the highlow indicators. This caused anchored centers (with typically lower rentals for the large spaces) to significantly skew the rental figures. This is now the third year of breaking out the anchor spaces in the rental survey and we now feel we are able to track an accurate trend in the rental rates. The shopping center survey analysis is structured as follows: Suites over 15,000 square feet are considered to be anchor spaces. Rental rates for non-anchor spaces are collected on a high-low basis, with an average rental rate for each property calculated based on the high-low
indicators. The rentals indicated are reflective of varying lease terms, with some
shopping centers requiring expense reimbursements from tenants in addition to base rentals and some shopping centers requiring no additional reimbursements. To arrive at consistent rentals, any additional reimbursements paid by tenants (generally for common area maintenance
40
r e ta i l T r e n d s
(CAM), taxes and insurance) are added to each shopping centers calculated average rental to arrive at a total average rental. Jonathan Walker, CCIM Speaker, Trends Maestri-Murrell Charlie Colvin, CCIM Beau Box Wade Greene Maestri-Murrell Austin Earhart Beau Box 2013 RETAIL TRENDS COMMITTEE Attempts to survey each shopping center are made each year, however, due to turnover in management and/or ownership, results for each shopping center are not available every year. Comparison of the total surveyed leasable space and number of shopping center indicated in each time period should not be taken as an indication of new construction and/ or demolition, but as an indication of properties for which data was provided.
The Vacancy Rate figures presented should not be viewed as a matched sample, as the figures for each time period reflect the results for each individual survey. They are, however, considered to be indicative of general market conditions.

Justin Langlois, CCIM Mike Falgoust & Associates Sean McDonald, MIA Cook, Moore & Associates Evan Scroggs Latter & Blum Colin Smith Kurz and Hebert Dottie Tarleton, CCIM Stirling Properties
Only shopping centers of over 15,000 square feet of leasable space are included in the survey. Numerous small strip centers throughout the Baton
Rouge area are excluded from the analysis due to the minimal size requirement for the survey.
Baton Rouges two enclosed shopping malls, the Mall of Louisiana and
Cortana Mall, are excluded from the survey. Due to the large size of these centers and significantly higher rentals collected for mall spaces compared to standard multi-tenant retail spaces, these properties have historically caused significant skewing of the vacancy and average rental results when included in past reports. They were eliminated from the survey in 2007, with results from earlier surveys revised to exclude these
centers.
41 3
Baton Rouges three completed lifestyle centers Perkins Rowe, The Boulevard at the Mall of Louisiana and Towne Center were surveyed for the first time in 2008. As with the shopping malls, these centers collect significantly higher rentals, inclusion of which would likely significantly skew the data. These three centers are generally excluded from the figures presented, and specific information will be given on these centers during the actual presentation.
Analyses are performed by Vacancy Rate (Table 1), Size/Type (Table 2), Age (Table 3), Location (Table 4) and both Location and Type (Table 5).
Summary of Spring 2013 Retail Survey

Attempts were made to contact 133 shopping centers in East Baton Rouge, Ascension and Livingston Parishes, with responses obtained from 124 shopping centers.
Acadian Village was demolished in 2008 but is now under redevelopment. The property is being pre-leased, and has been included in this years survey.
Excluding the lifestyle centers, a total of 8,616,676 square feet of leasable space was surveyed, with 849,429 square feet (9.86%) reported to be vacant. This vacancy rate is only slightly higher than the 9.23% reported in the 2012 survey, and lower 10.33% vacancy rate reported in the 2011 survey, and much lower than the 12.55% vacancy rate in the 2010 survey.
Average Total Collections (rent and expense reimbursements) for non-anchor space were $16.21/square foot, which reflects a 3% drop in rental rates from the 2012 survey.

ANALYSIS BY SIZE/TYPE
Table 2 contains the analysis by shopping center size/type. The surveyed shopping centers are categorized based on discussions with local leasing agents in cooperation with CID and the Greater Baton Rouge Association of REALTORS and definitions used by the Urban Land Institute and International Council of Shopping Centers. The shopping center types are as follows: Convenience Centers (under 30,000 square feet) typically provide for the
sale of convenience goods and personal services without having a standard anchor space.
20 13
Neighborhood Centers (30,001 to 100,000 square feet) typically provide
for the sale of convenience goods and personal services with a grocery anchor space.
Community Centers (100,001 to 250,000 square feet) typically provide
clothing, hardware, and appliances, in addition to convenience goods and personal services. Typically, these are built around a small department, variety, or discount store.
Regional Centers (over 250,000 square feet) typically provide general
merchandise, furniture and home furnishings, as well as services and recreational facilities. These larger centers are often built around one or two full-line department stores that are generally larger than 100,000 square feet.
40% of the surveyed centers are considered to be Convenience Centers, though only 11% (980,321 square feet) of the surveyed leasable space is located in these centers. 40% of the surveyed centers are considered to be Neighborhood Centers, which contain 32% (2,771,455 square feet) of the surveyed leasable space. 17% of the surveyed centers and 35% of the surveyed leasable space (2,990,007 square feet) are considered to be Community Centers, while 3% of the surveyed centers and 22% of the surveyed leasable space (1,874,893 square feet) are considered to be Regional Centers.
45
Since the Spring 2012 survey, vacancy rates have increased in every shopping center type except for Convenience centers, which noted only a slight decrease (12.90% to 11.27%). The highest vacancies are noted in the unanchored Community Centers (12.98%), while Regional Centers continue to have a low vacancy rate (1.15%). Convenience Centers have a vacancy rate of 11.27%, while Neighborhood Centers have a vacancy rate of 11.89%. 46% of the reported vacant space is located in Community Centers, while only 3% is located in Regional Centers. 13% is located in Convenience Centers and 39% is located in Neighborhood Centers. The highest collections for non-anchor space were noted in Regional Centers ($20.59/square foot). The lowest average collections were noted in Neighborhood Centers ($13.77/square foot).

ANALYSIS BY AGE
Table 3 contains the analysis by age, with the shopping centers categorized based on the year of their construction. This year we began looking at newer centers that were built in 2006 or later. Consisting of 886,546 square feet, they not only had the lowest vacancy rate at 4.13%, but had the highest rental rate at $22.44/ square foot. The second set of shopping centers consists of 44 properties that have been constructed from 2000 - 2005. There were 11 more recently-built centers included in Spring 2010 than in Spring 2009, primarily due to the surveying of Livingston and Ascension Parishes (which have experienced substantial retail growth in the past decade) for the second time. Two of the five additional centers included in Spring 2011 are centers in Central, LA that previously had not been surveyed (one completed in 2006 and the other in early 2011). These newer centers report a Spring 2013 vacancy rate of 4.23%, compared to the Spring 2012 vacancy rate of 5.41% and the Spring 2011 vacancy rate of 5.15%. 39.19% of the space is anchor space and average total collections for non-anchor space are $20.84/square foot. The next set of shopping centers consists of 11 centers constructed between 1995 and 1999. These centers report a Spring 2013 vacancy rate of 3.39%, which is slightly better than the Spring 2012 vacancy rate of 4.08% and Spring 2011 vacancy of 4.21%. 64.27% of the space is anchor space and average total collections for non-anchor space are $20.27/square foot. 20 surveyed shopping centers were constructed between 1985 and 1995. These centers report a Spring 2013 vacancy of 4.70%, which is down from the Spring 2012 vacancy rate of 8.05% and the Spring 2011 vacancy rate of 8.38%. 34.20% of the space is anchor space and average total collections for non-anchor space are $16.53 per square foot.
48 2
15 surveyed shopping centers were constructed between 1980 and 1984. These centers report a Spring 2013 vacancy rate of 25.31% which is up from the Spring 2012 vacancy rate of 15.47% and the Spring 2011 vacancy rate of 22.49% 42.06% of the space is anchor space and average total collections for non- anchor space are $12.04/square foot. 34 surveyed shopping centers (representing 32% of the surveyed leasable space and 44% of the vacant space) were constructed before 1980. These centers report a Spring 2013 vacancy rate of 13.58%, up from the Spring 2012 vacancy rate of 12.51% and the Spring 2011 vacancy rate of 13.44%. 25.56% of the space is anchor space and average total collections for non-anchor space are $12.80/square foot. The lowest rentals and highest vacancy are noted in the shopping centers built before 1985. These centers represent 39% of the surveyed shopping centers, 45% of the surveyed leasable space and 76% of the total vacant space.

Summary
Of the 8.616 million square feet of leasable space represented in our sample (not including lifestyle centers), 9.86% is reported as vacant. This represents only a .63% increase in vacancy from the Spring 2012 survey. It should be noted that these figures do not represent a matched sample of shopping centers, but only reflect the results of each survey. Regional centers, those over 250,000 sq/ft, continue to have low vacancy rates and demand higher rental rates. After peaking at its highest in the past 5 years in Spring 2010, the overall vacancy rate has stabilized the past two years, and is more in line with the vacancy this area enjoyed in 2007, which was 9.53%.

OVERVIEW OF COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE FINANCE

Financing is becoming more readily available for commercial and residential real estate projects in the Greater Baton Rouge area from a growing number of sources in 2013. Banks, credit unions and thrifts are remaining dedicated to the construction market and are filling in when and where needed for term loans of up to five years. Credit problems have been largely dealt with and capital levels have been restored, allowing these short term and construction lenders to increase budgets in 2013. Whereas in the recent past there have not been sufficient sources for longer term loans, particularly for property types other than multifamily, insurance companies have increased their allocations and the conduit market is making a comeback. Added to this availability is an historically low interest rate environment that has been extended far beyond the expectations of most economists who have been forecasting increased rates for years, only to have the Federal Reserve extend its accommodating monetary policies. While not recovering at the speed that many would wish, the economy is recovering nonetheless, allowing families to purchase homes and real estate practitioners to develop new projects. The financial community appears able to support this recovery.
OUTSTANDING COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE DEBT

Banks and thrifts continue to hold the majority of commercial real estate debt in the United States as of the third quarter of 2012. Securitized lenders hold the second largest piece, though regular principal reductions and payoffs have outpaced new originations. Agency and GSE-backed mortgage pools hold the third position, followed by life insurance companies, government and other lenders.

FINANCE Trends
Within just the Multifamily sector there have been significant increases in the portfolios of the Government Sponsored Enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, leading to record origination volumes and outstanding balances. The rate of growth is not sustainable, however, and in 2013 these agencies have been charged with reducing originations by ten percent. Filling the gap will be increased originations from life insurance companies and a recovering CMBS market. Already, many large banks and smaller boutique shops have restarted their CMBS platforms and intend on focusing on multifamily. The future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac remains uncertain. Still under the conservatorship of the Federal Government and administered by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the GSEs continue to operate under the specter of sweeping reforms

NEW LOAN ORIGINATION Commercial Lending Through Banks, Thrifts, Credit Unions
Banks, thrifts and credit unions nationally have struggled with credit quality issues over the past few years, though lenders in the Greater Baton Rouge area have not experienced the levels of problems experienced elsewhere, and regulatory constraints diminished the appetite of these lenders for real estate until the problems could be addressed. Credit quality and capital levels have improved in most areas now which, in concert with an increased focus on profitability, is creating increased budgets for real estate loans which will lead to increased competition for quality borrowers and their projects.
Residential Lending
Origination volumes are expected to decline in 2013, though the majority of the reduction comes from a slowdown in the pace of refinancing. The Mortgage Bankers Association projects an increase in the level of purchase money financing in 2013.
Conduit Lending
Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities or CMBS loans through conduit lenders are staging a comeback with 2012 origination volumes exceeding analyst predictions. At the beginning of the year, best guesses were for $38 billion in CMBS origination, but the year ended with $48.4 billion in new loans and good momentum in the fourth quarter. Projections for 2013 are $65 billion in originations with pricing improving. Major players are returning to the market with most loan programs starting at $5,000,000 but some going as low as $1,000,000. Borrowers who are experienced with conduit financing will find changes in the requirements of the resurgent market. For larger and more complex deals there will be requirements for independent directors, pre-prepared notices to tenants to make direct payments to lenders in the case of default and larger legal bills.

SPECIALIZED MULTIFAMILY LENDING

Multifamily lending has been dominated by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for refinancing and by HUD for construction lending over the past few years, but there will be changes in 2013 and beyond. With regard to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Federal Housing Finance Agency recently issued the 2013 Scorecard which directed the enterprises to reduce the unpaid principal balance amount of new multifamily business relative to 2012 by at least 10 percent by tightening underwriting, adjusting pricing and limiting product offerings, while not increasing the proportion of the Enterprises retained risk. This directive will reduce the flexibility that lenders have to originate loans through Fannie and Freddie, forcing borrowers to seek financing elsewhere. The good news is that the gap will likely be filled by insurance companies and conduit lenders.

FINANCE Trends
Construction financing through the HUD 221(d)4 program has had the distinct advantages over all other forms of financing of having relatively low equity requirements, low fixed rates and extended terms up to 42 years, all on a non-recourse basis. Changes in the last year increased the equity requirement, though still less than what most banks would require. The challenge in 2013 will be the availability of financing under the program since HUD has a strict policy of not guaranteeing loans for new projects to be constructed in an area already served by a project with HUD-guaranteed financing. With so many projects having been financed over the years, some developers might find it difficult to site a project that does not impact a HUD-guaranteed loan, causing the developers to opt for full-recourse bank financing with higher equity requirements followed by a permanent takeout at interest rates to be determined in the future.

INTEREST RATE UPDATE
Floating Rate Indexes - The Prime Rate remained at 3.25% where it has been since the beginning of 2009. The driving factor for the Prime Rate is the federal funds rate which has remained near zero over the same period. The Federal Reserve through the Federal Open Market Committee has stated an opinion that the federal funds rate would be held at current levels until at least 2015. Increasing the rate would key on the reduction of unemployment to 6.50% or lower, at which time the rate would be increased but still held below its expected longer-run value. 30-day LIBOR, which also tracks with the Prime Rate and federal funds, has also hovered near zero since the beginning of 2013. With the European economy in a challenging mode at present, it is likely that there will be no changes to LIBOR in the near future.

2013 RESIDENTIAL TRENDS COMMITTEE year there were over 1.48 billion sales reported to the Greater Baton Rouge Multiple Listing Service by a membership of over 2,600 agents. This study applies to market data analyzed from March 16, 2004 to February 16, 2013. All data was analyzed on a 12-month basis from March 16th to February 16th. Therefore, when the year 2011 is referenced below, it means March 16, 2011 to February 16, 2012, and when the year 2012 is referenced it refers to March 16, 2012 to February 16, 2013. Tom Cook, MAI Speaker, Trends David Wade Marie Wade DON STERN Cook, Moore & Associates
An analysis of data taken from the Greater Baton Rouge Multiple Listing Service from 2012 to 2013 indicated that from March of 2012 to February of 2013, there were a total of 7,693 sales. This was up from 6,742 sales in the previous year but down from the high of 11,826 sales in 2005. Total sales volume rose to about $1.484 billion from about $1.284 billion the previous year. This represents a gain of 14.11% in total sales, and a rise of 15.55% in the total sales volume. However, average list prices rose from $196.980 in 2011 to $198,997 in 2012.

Condominium / Townhouse Market

Also studied was the condominium and townhouse market. These are defined by the Greater Baton Rouge Multiple Listing Service as any residential structure with an attached wall. These type housing units were studied from the same time period March of 2004 to February 2013. The study included only those sales reported to the Greater Baton Rouge Multiple Listing Service and include the entire market area. In 2012, there were 583 sales reported to MLS and it represents a significant sample. However, this type housing is often sold by the developer directly and those sales are not reported to MLS. Several things of interest are worthy of pointing out. In 2004, the average sale price for an attached residence was $104,151, by 2008 that figure had risen to $196,421. It fell in 2011 to $140,399, but rose in 2012 to $157,786, or about 7.40%. The average price of an attached residence fell by 25.17% from 2008 to 2009. The average price remained stable from 2009 to 2010 rising only 1.51%. In 2011, it had dropped 5.22%, but as noted above increased by 7.40% in the most recent year. Total sales dropped

by 22.62% from 2009 to 2011 from 650 to 503, after falling by 25.46% from 2008 to 2009 (872 to 650). Sales fell only 3.18% from 2010 to 2011, and then rose in 2012 to 583 sales, an increase of 19.71%. The average days on market increased from 150 to 171, or a decrease in marketing time of about 14%. Current inventory was reduced by 9.95% in 2012, after falling 5.16% in 2011. The average total month inventory fell by 24.81% from 15.84 months to 11.91 months.

Conclusions
The residential market appears to have increased rather substantially in 2012. Volume is up by 15% and prices are flat, or increasing, only slightly. Prices are not dropping significantly in any one category, but are not increasing dramatically either. Inventories are decreasing in most categories, as is the required time to sell a home. Low interest rates have fueled the stabilization, and lenders appear to have a greater appetite for new loans. Market conditions appear to be stabilizing and should continue into 2013.

CHAIRMAN Trends
Thank you for your participation in the 2013 TRENDS in Real Estate Seminar. I would like to personally thank you for being here and provide a bit of this events history and what goes into making it happen every year.
CID: YOUR EXPERTS IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

For over 30 years, the Commercial Investment Division (CID) has had a mission to bring the individuals and companies within the commercial real estate industry in the Greater Baton Rouge area closer together to share information and knowledge so that all can prosper and better serve their clients and customers. Today, the CID is the pre-eminent commercial real estate group in the area. CID members are top producers in their respective market sectors who meet regularly to share ideas and stay abreast of current issues and developments in commercial real estate. The major goals of CID includes networking, the dissemination of information to its members, as well as the education and encouragement of our members in achieving professional designations such as CCIM, SIOR, CRE, and CPM. We also have fun with great social events each year. Our membership presently totals approximately 500 members and includes most of the major commercial REALTORS, appraisers, bankers, builders, title companies, etc., in Baton Rouge. The CID has regular luncheon meetings with prominent area speakers on topics of interest to the commercial real estate community. CID also sponsors educational seminars from time to time concerning timely commercial and investment real estate topics and offers professional development and awards several thousand dollars annually in education scholarships to its members. Many of our members have achieved professional designations through their ongoing experience and education, and TRENDS is an opportunity to offer the community the wealth of knowledge represented by our combined expertise. In the late 1980s, the CID worked with LSUs Real Estate Research Institute to originate the TRENDS in Real Estate Seminar. Today, it hosts over 500 participants each year, making it the most successful real estate continuing education seminar in Baton Rouge.

DEVELOPING TRENDS
The goal of the TRENDS program is to educate CID members and their clients, as well as other real estate practitioners, in the Greater Baton Rouge area about the current trends in the market, and to offer our opinion of forecasted market trends. Six distinct market sectors of commercial real estate are covered at TRENDS: finance, industrial, office, multifamily, residential, and retail. These presentations represent the combined efforts of volunteer committee members who pool their resources, data and expertise in analyzing each sector. Each TRENDS presentation is the product of hard work and extensive evaluation by market experts. The TRENDS Committee is a dedicated group of volunteers that works diligently all year long in preparation for the TRENDS Seminar. My sincere thanks goes to each of the committee members, presenters, sponsors, advertisers and GBRAR staff as well as to the LSU Real Estate Department for making this years program another success. The current CID President, Mr. Deane Bryson will be the Chairman of the Trends in Real Estate Seminar in 2014. We are looking forward to another great year! Thank you again for your continued support of the CID and the TRENDS Seminar and I look forward to seeing you at next years seminar. Sincerely,
