2036 Strategic Scenario

Extremely limited supply ensures persistent high valuations and protection against broad market dips.

Bull Case

Supply scarcity and coastal retreat demand drive 6-7% CAGR through 2036.

Base Case

Steady 4-5% CAGR; supply limitation prevents any meaningful correction in quality assets.

Bear Case

Insurance cost escalation compresses affordability; barrier island exposure creates underwriting challenges.

Buyer Opportunity

Extremely limited supply creates a near-perfect capital preservation environment.

Buyer Risk

Insurance cost exposure on coastal location must be carefully underwritten at acquisition.

Seller Opportunity

Supply scarcity means competing inventory is virtually nonexistent.

Seller Risk

Insurance cost escalation can create financing hurdles that delay buyer approval timelines.

Tenant Opportunity

Coastal retreat rental with strong seasonal demand fundamentals.

Tenant Risk

Supply scarcity keeps rental costs consistently elevated above mainland alternatives.
