Annual Metropolitan Area building permits ranged <br />from 12,060 to 17,679 between 1991 and 1999. As the housing boom unfolded, building permits <br />increased from 17,679 in 1999, peaked at 20,973 in 2003, which was followed by a decline to <br />12,109 in 2006 when the housing boom ended. Building permits declined by 67 percent from <br />12,109 in 2006 to 4,028 in 2009 and began a slight recovery to 5,014 units in 2010. Based on <br />nine months experience in 2012, it appears that building permits in 2012 will be significantly <br />higher than recorded in the 2008 to 2011 period. Three periods contained in Table 4-16 reflect a <br />relatively normal period (1991 to 1998); a boom period (1999 to 2006) and a recessionary period <br />(2007 to 2012). Building permit trends in each period provide insight into future residential <br />development trends. <br />North Growth Corridor market share of the Metropolitan Area building permits has averaged <br />17.1 percent between 1991 and 2012. During the period 1991 to 1998, market share averaged <br />16.9 percent. Market share average increased to 18.0 percent in the 1999 to 2006 period. This <br />increase was influenced by one year (2005) when market share was 27.1 percent. If 2005 market <br />share is excluded, the average of the other seven years is 16.7 percent, generally consistent with <br />the previous period. During the last four years (2008 through 2011), building permit market <br />share ranged from 11.6 percent in 2008 to 18.6 percent in 2011. Market share has increased each <br />4-16 <br />
