while the city was devel- oping its land use plan, and large vacant parcels had to be re-sized to meet the new 2.2 units per acre, or other, density plan. 5. Buildout of course will not end the sale of properties on Sanibel, it only stands to reason that it will make the existing ones more valuable, for the reason that there are only just so many. Experience has taught us this in older coastal com- munities where buiLdout has been achieved, Martha's Vineyard and Singer Island for exam- V-i ple, where the price of existing properties has jumped into the millions. 6. Sanibel property is still underpriced when compared to other gulf r communities. Our maxi- '•'-"-'V*T* mum sales price has not yet exceeded $3 million for a single property, compared to over $6 mil- lion in the Naples area, and of course many times that in California and other coastal areas. There is still great room for growth in that area. 7. About the time that the "baby boomers" retire, the Sanibel market may no longer be an option for them financial- ly, or physically. Because of the international influx of buyers from other countries, Sanibel has been opened up to the world. As word spreads, more and more of our properties are owned by people who have a won- derful appreciation of the •> ,"' .'I ji uniqueness and value of Sanibel, but not always a clear understanding of the sensitive environmental issues that are at stake. The scarcity of buildable land in other countries and their own methods of utilizing the available square footage is often very different than our methods or rules.
