Life in a

college town W

hen retiree Sharon Baiocco and just-gettingstarted Amber Ward moved to Charlottesville, the University of Virginia was a factor in both their choices. Baiocco, a former dean at a university in another state, and her sports-loving highschool-teacher husband, John, knew they wanted to be on the East Coast near their children in Richmond and New Jersey. “We could have lived anywhere,” Baiocco says, “but we preferred a place that was open to all faiths, cultures and political views.

We looked at Charlottesville and just knew right away it was where we wanted to be.”

As an example of diversity, she cites their development of Fontana.

“On our little street—only 13 homes— there are young families and retirees, Eastern Europeans, Chinese Americans, African Americans, Christians, Jews and even Unitarians like me. We

are so proud of our Unitarian member, [Satyendra] Huja, a Sikh from Pakistan, who has become Charlottesville’s mayor. It shows there are diverse faith communities in this area where you can practice your faith without fear.”

Another consideration for the Baioccos was that the market for homes would not drop dramatically.

“With UVa as the largest local employer,” she points out, “stability and growth are almost guaranteed. That is very important because our home is our biggest investment.”

Ward’s story is a little different since she was nearing the end of an internship in another state to complete her education, but she was also

seeking a place to settle permanently.

“I spent about three months using the Internet to analyze demographics and other data,” she explains.

Raised in Los Angeles, she wanted to be near the big city of Washington, but live a small “slowed-down” city.

“I also wanted a place committed to sustainability because that’s an investment for our future.”

Was UVa a factor in her decision?

“Absolutely! I knew the university would contribute to ‘young’ ideas like buy local and be green—by seeking new approaches to these issues.”

She considered Blacksburg, Roanoke, Richmond and Harrisonburg before settling on Charlottesville.

Charlottesville Tops Lists

Last year, Charlottesville landed on many of those ubiquitous “top” lists including (but definitely not limited to): #1 City to Live in the Country by Sperling’s Best Places (www. bestplaces.net), #1 City to Retire by Kiplinger.com and “Locavore” Capital of the World by Forbes. Often, an important criterion for being a “top” is having a great institution of higher learning and the area certainly has that in the University of Virginia.

“The Charlottesville region is frequently recognized as one of the best places to live in the country,” declares Teresa Sullivan, President of the University of Virginia (UVa). She cites many elements including natural beauty, historic sites, a vibrant cultural scene and a strong economy. “The University of Virginia is thoroughly engaged in every aspect of community life,” she continues. “This strong relationship with the Charlottesville region creates a stronger community overall.”

In addition, UVa students support community businesses from landlords to grocers to the tune of more than $210 million every year.

UVa’s local real estate taxes amount to nearly $1.9 million each year and UVa pays the city of Charlottesville more than $200,000 annually to subsidize local bus and trolley service. UVa also supports local emergency services including

more than a half million dollars to support 9-1-1 services, $250,000 to the City of Charlottesville for fire services and $750,000 for the new fire station on Fontaine Avenue. The Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad receives more than $40,000 annually and UVa employees and students contribute about 25,000 volunteer hours of service to the squad each year.

U.S. News & World Report recently ranked the UVa Medical Center in the top 50 nationally for five adult specialties and high-performing in six other adult specialties. The School of Nursing was ranked in the top two percent nationally. This means Charlottesville shines because high-quality medical care often leads the list of desirable attributes in a community. In fact, recommendations for ideal retirement locales often specify a teaching hospital.

Patients can access their medical records and communicate with their personal healthcare provider on-line.

Same-day appointments are often available. Searchable on-line medical files include information of topics ranging from clinical trials open to the public, healthy lifestyles, treatments for many medical problems and much more. Club Red, aimed at improving heart health in women, offers information, local healthy-eating discounts, and a monthly newsletter.

The largest student-volunteer effort is Madison House, a student volunteer center, which recruits, trains and mentors over 3,300 student volunteers each year. These students contribute more than 10,000 hours of community service to the Charlottesville-Albemarle area, partnering with almost 100 community non-profits organizations, where volunteers directly impact more than 15,000 residents.

Finally, at the end of the academic year, UVa students donate household goods and furniture to support Charlottesville nonprofit organizations that serve low-income residents through Chuck It For Charity and the Sofa Shuffle.

Although the Cavaliers lost their recent New Year’s Eve bowl game, the community always enjoys rooting for teams which are often nationally ranked in sports from football as well as men’s and women’s basketball, lacrosse, golf, soccer, tennis swimming and diving. Additional teams include men’s baseball, women’s softball and other sports.

Community Outreach

val in July, UVa provides free sports physicals and free health screenings, including mammograms. The Medical Equipment Recovery of Clean Inventory program collects clean, unused medical supplies and distributes them to both local and international nonprofits.

Another popular outreach is the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

Designed for senior citizens, this program is for people who seek intellectual stimulation. Formed in association with UVa, it was inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s own deeply held view of education as a lifelong enterprise to invigorate the mind. Volunteer course instructors are specialists in their fields—many are professors from UVa and other universities across the United States.

Other outreach programs embrace persons with disabilities, elementary and secondary school teachers, men, women, minority groups, children, families and senior citizens.

ment with great neighbors,” and adopted a rescue dog named Oscar, she is delighted with her decision to settle here in what she enthusiastically terms “a great city.” She loves the rural surroundings, the music, the City Market and the personality of Charlottesville, including UVa. “The university and community utilize each other very well,” she observes.

“There is a beautiful partnership with their priorities in parallel, which isn’t true in every college town.”

And retiree Baiocco, now a Charlottesville resident for some five years and an activist against mountaintop removal, says she and her husband love the fact that the area is amidst beautiful scenery and has a wonderful small-town feel. “Southern society can be closed, but there is a significant population from other places and you run into friends wherever you go.”

For example, close to 7,000 hours are donated to the Charlottesville Free Clinic with a value of about $7.5 million. Each September during the National Day of Caring, about 1,000 volunteers pitch in on close to 100 projects ranging from painting schools to visiting with the elderly.

University students participate in community service in many ways, including operating fundraisers to support disease prevention, performances that promote awareness of different cultures, weekly carpentry efforts to renovate area homes, and volunteering in settings ranging from area rescue squads to day care centers and animal shelters.

In a typical year, students provided well over 5,000 hours of tutoring and scholastic assistance to area youth at more than 20 community locations while the Young Women Leadership Program arranges for UVa students to mentor more than 100 eighthand ninth-grade girls addressing is-

Every year UVa serves over one million people through more than 500 public service and outreach programs. Through OutreachVirginia, local residents can find interesting programs in music and drama, opportunities to volunteer at UVa, and the chance to learn how the university and the community are engaged.

“Residents in the area enjoy the UVa museums and its multitude of events year round,” says Broker Sara Greenfield, owner of Charlottesville Fine Homes and Properties. “For just one example, every year since 1968, the UVa music department has presented a Messiah Sing-a-long in early December. This is a time when townspeople mingle with University singers and Old Cabell Hall reverberates with laughter and singing. Anyone can take part in either the orchestra or the singing and I wouldn’t miss it for anything.”

Lease Purchase Agreements

I

n today’s challenging real estate market, sellers may be forced to relocate before their home is sold and leave an empty house behind.

Not only is this a financial burden, but empty homes are more difficult to sell and while finding a tenant is an option, this solution may cause problems if the renter does not take good care of the property. Similarly, there are buyers who are unable to purchase a home today, but who are good candidates in the long run. A solution for both of these parties may be a lease purchase arrangement in which the sellers lease their property to a buyer who is willing to purchase it within a mutually agreed upon time frame.

While there are many variations, most contracts specify that a percentage of the monthly lease goes towards the buyer’s down payment. Often, as well, sellers require the purchasers to put down a cash deposit, some or all of which may be non-refundable if they choose not to buy the property when the lease is up. Regardless, whether you are a buyer or a seller, your REALTOR® can help you take advantage of the benefits inherent in this kind of agreement.

From a seller’s perspective, a lease purchase offers a number of benefits, the most obvious being that it

Benefit Home Buyers and Sellers

By Celeste M. sMuCker, PhD

provides cash flow for a home which otherwise would remain empty. In addition, the purchaser is someone with a genuine interest in and commitment to the home who is therefore motivated to take good care of it in the interim. The agreement protects the seller by locking

in a favorable price, and since in most cases a portion of the rent is credited towards the down payment, the monthly income is often greater than what it would have been in a conventional rental agreement.

On the down side for sellers, a lease purchase is not a definite sale, and the buyers may choose not to buy the home at the end of the agreed upon lease term. There may be several reasons, not the least of which is that they may just change their minds. Every home has its eccentricities. After someone lives there for awhile they become very familiar with these and may decide the home doesn’t suit them or they don’t like the neighbors or it is too far from work. Alternatively, they may just wander into a Sunday open house and find a house they like better.

The buyer may also fail to qualify for a mortgage. Buyers who enter into lease purchase agreements may be strong candidates waiting for a previ-

ous home to sell, or perhaps they are young professionals with good credit but little cash. On the other hand they may seek this kind of agreement because their credit is weak and, though well-intended, may underestimate their ability to either improve it before the agreement expires or to save sufficient funds to actually make the purchase. To protect themselves, sellers can request a letter from the buyers’ mortgage company supporting their ability to obtain a mortgage when the time comes. To decrease the risk of a buyer pulling out of the deal for trivial reasons, sellers can require a deposit and stipulate that some or all of the money is non-refundable.

From the buyer’s perspective, a lease purchase makes it possible for someone who is unable to obtain a mortgage to find a home they like and start settling in. While lack of funds may be the reason they can’t buy now, another possibility is that they have minor credit glitches and are willing to repair them, but need time to do so. Many lenders will work with good candidates and help them straighten out their affairs so they can qualify for a loan. For such an individual, the lease purchase agreement permits them to lock in a price and start building equity even before they are actually owners.

On the down side, if buyers are required to make a non-refundable deposit, they run the risk of losing those funds should they be unable to exercise the purchase option at the end of the lease. Similarly, they lose any money they pay monthly that is above and beyond what would have been required had they entered into a conventional rental agreement. Finally, buyers should be aware that some sellers intentionally structure agreements to make it easy for them to nullify the contract (and keep the deposit) should a monthly payment be late or in the event prices begin to rise and they can increase their profit by selling the home to someone else.

CAAR Real Estate Weekly | www.charlottesvillerealestateweekly.com

Charlottesville Area 2011 Year-End Highlights: • Top three areas for sales in 2011 were Albemarle, Charlottesville, and Fluvanna counties.

• The most affordable areas in our market were Greene, Louisa, and Fluvanna counties.

• Overall sales were down a nominal 1.5% from 2010, though up slightly from 2009 levels.

Days on Market (DOM) The length of time a property is on the market before sale is very much affected by the amount of supply compared to demand, and real estate professionals understand the critical role pricing plays. While the market has varied throughout the

• Active inventory to close 2011 is down 7% from year-end 2010.

• Days on Market stable since 2010, half of homes sold in 86 days or less in 2011 and average DOM was 149 in 2011.

• Median Sales price for 2011 of $245,000 was down 3.9% from year-end 2010.

2011 Market Overview Home Sales for 2011 There were 2,300 homes sold in the Charlottesville area in 2011, which was down 1.5% (-36 sales) from 2010. Albemarle (+2.7%) and Charlottesville (+5.3%) showed an increase in sales for the year. All other areas were down from last year: Fluvanna (-15.1%), Louisa (-12.0%), Nelson (-6.1%), and Green (-3.3%).

Sales of detached homes in the area were down 1.4% from 2010 to 1,733. This is 3.8% higher than the 1,669 detached homes sold in 2009.

There were 567 attached homes (condos and townhomes) sold in 2011, 1.4% lower than 2010 and 13.0% off the 5-year average levels.

Foreclosed property sales were up 10.4% to 328 compared to 297 sales

in 2010. Foreclosures represented a 14.3% share of all sales in 2011, up from a 12.7% share last year. Short sales nearly doubled year-over-year, from 76 sales in 2010 to 112 in 2011.

Fortunately in the interest of pricing stabilization, short sale transactions only represented 3.3% of the market while traditional sales, or those transactions not involving a foreclosure or short sale, accounted for 80.9% of MLS sales.

past several years, the average days on market (DOM) prior to sale has remained relatively stable the past two years, increasing only one day from the 2010 average to 148 days. Half of the homes sold in 2011 were on the market for 86 days or less, up slightly from the 82 median DOM of 2010.

Attached homes sold an average 10 days faster than detached homes, with a DOM of 140 in 2011.

Home Prices Home prices declined somewhat in 2011, with the amount of the decline varying from significant to nominal depending upon the county. The median prices listed below are

The top three areas for sales in 2011 were Albemarle, Charlottesville, and Fluvanna counties, and the most affordable areas in our market were Greene, Louisa, and Fluvanna counties.

23 Lower Inventory of Homes for Sale At year end, inventory is down to the lowest level since year-end 2006 and 7.0% down from the year-end 2010 level, signaling what could be a positive trend for the Charlottesville market. While the 4,802 new listings added throughout 2011 (irrespective of where they ended up in the transaction process) represents a 12.9% decrease from the 5,512 new listings added in 2010, we remain a buyer’s market. The 2,020 active units to close the year represent 11.6 months of supply if the 2011 absorption rate continues into 2012.

The 433 active attached properties for sale represent a decrease of 2.0% from year-end 2010 while the 1,586 detached properties for sale are 7.6% lower than last year’s level. The 74 foreclosed properties for sale to begin 2012 are 31.5% lower than last year, while the 1,874 traditional listings on the market are only 4.7% lower than year-end 2010.

Sold Price Per Square Foot (Finished) – Affordability and Bargains Remain The area average of $140 per finished square foot is the lowest number since 2004, indicating true “pockets of value” for buyers. Prices are

the middle of the market of properties that sold, indicating what buyers were willing/able to pay. Overall, the $245,000 median home price (including attached homes) represented a 3.9% decrease compared to last year. The areas with higher sales volume like Fluvanna (-2.5%), Albemarle (-4.0%), and Charlottesville (6.1%) saw more moderate decreases, while the remaining counties experienced slightly higher pricing drops: Greene (-8.6%), Nelson (-13.5%), and Louisa (-15.6%).

The median price for detached homes in Greater Charlottesville fell 3.6% from 2010 to $270,000 while the median price for attached homes was down 10.1 % year-over-year to $191,000. Foreclosed listings had a median price of $130,000, or half the $265,000 median for traditional property sales. The traditional sale median price was down only 2.8% from 2010 and actually represents an increase of 1.2% from the 2009 level.

The $211,000 median price for short sales represents a 9.0% year-over-year increase. down $6 per square foot on average from last year and $42 since peaking for buyers in 2006.

The most affordable markets are outlying localities of Fluvanna ($108) and Louisa ($100). The relative stability in price per finished square foot in Charlottesville ($167), Albemarle ($145), and Greene ($118) supports the strength and stability of these markets.

There is remarkably little variance between the price per square foot for attached homes ($141) vs. detached homes ($139). During the peak year 2006, detached homes averaged $15 more than attached homes, $192 and $177 respectively. Housing affordability is a positive aspect of this market. 596 homes, or 30% of the

active listing market, were for sale at $200,000 or less to begin 2012. The average sold price per square foot for foreclosed properties in 2011 was $88, nearly 60% lower than the $151 average for traditional sales! The price per square foot for short sales was in the middle of these two figures, averaging $107.

Price sensitivity is still a key factor in this market and if you plan to sell a home in 2012, be sure to have a REALTORÂŽ prepare a comparative market analysis (CMA) so that you can price it to sell. And, if you are looking to buy, a REALTORÂŽ can help you understand the current market and evaluate your options.
