Blenheim Artisan Series The 2013 Blenheim Artisan Series is a sequence of lectures and demonstrations featuring craftspeople that have dedicated their time and energy to understanding the art and science of fermentation. Each event features someone that crafts a fermented product. Beer, bread, kombucha, vinegar, cheese, dry aged beef, and fermented vegetables are highlighted over the course of 4 months.

The Series provides a unique forum that brings together the producers of well made, high quality foods and beverages with the people who enjoy them in an intimate, informal setting.

The format of each presentation varies, but likely includes a demonstration, a question and answer session and a guided tasting.

Baking Company speaking about bread.

4/11

Ethan Zuckerman of Barefoot Bucha speaking about kombucha.

4/25 Jay Rostow of Virginia Vinegar

Works speaking about vinegar.

5/9

6/06 Dawn Story of Farmstead Fer-

ments speaking about fermented vegetables.

6/20 Tucker Yoder of The Clifton

Inn on the chef’s perspective on fermention.

Each of the speakers in the series enjoys talking about their craft as much as they enjoy creating the products that they are known for. The fermented foods and beverages that will be featured in this series can be found all around Charlottesville and the surrounding areas.

The Artisan Series events take place on selected Thursday evenings at 6:00 p.m. from March 14th through June 20th. Please RSVP to Greg Hirson at greg@blenheimvineyards.com or call 434-293-5366. Each event is $10.

Madison’s Real Estate Market

“quaint and friendly” place where you can get away from the traffic.

Carl Broyles, also with Montague Miller and Co., said he’s busy all the time, mostly with residential property sales. Land sales are also improving somewhat, he said, but they aren’t yet like they were during the boom times of a few years ago.

“We are definitely seeing an uptick in the local market,” said Bill Gentry with Jefferson Land and Realty, who added that he is encouraged by activity in many different segments of the market.

The last four years have been challenging, Gentry continued. The only properties that sold were those below $250,000, and the area experienced a lot of foreclosures. It takes awhile for what he called “the inventory wounds to heal,” but they are starting to see a shift. The low interest rates are a big help with some 15-year fixed rates currently below three percent.

Today they are beginning to see sales of properties with five to ten acres and up in the $300,000 to $1 million price range.

Gentry explained that people with cash and the foresight to recognize that prices are beginning to rise are

News about the real estate market in Madison is all positive. Pat Sury, who recently became the Managing Broker of Montague Miller and Co. in Madison, said that business is booming. She explained that there is a lot of pent up need to buy and sell. In addition, buyers who have been waiting for the market to hit bottom are realizing that now is the time to get into the market while interest rates and prices are 40 Commerce still low.

ued since its founding in 1792. The county was named for the Madison family forebears of James Madison, our nation’s fourth President, who later settled in nearby Orange County.

Montpelier, his estate, continues to be a major tourist attraction today.

Madison also has another presidential connection. President Herbert Hoover purchased land in Madison County and built a summer home called Rapidan Camp, which today’s county administrator, Ernie Hoch, called the “first Camp David.” This rustic retreat was also called the “Brown House” to distinguish it from the White House.

In August of 1929, Hoover thanked the citizens of Madison for welcoming him and his wife to their area stating ituated between Charlottesville and that: “...even the work of government Culpeper, Madison County offers space can be improved by leisurely discusand privacy to individuals and families sions of its problems out under the looking for a country lifestyle.

seeing that it’s time to get back in the market. Those who can qualify for a mortgage know they can get a low fixed rate loan on a property like a farm and pay it back with cheaper dollars. He referenced an investor who recently bought an 800-acre farm for $6.5 million and is also benefiting from current high prices on the corn and beans he grows there.

Madison is definitely a good place to look if you are a first time homebuyer. With the low interest rates, first time buyers with good credit and decent jobs can find a nice home, said Patti Lillard with Montague Miller and Co.

Convenient and Accessible A big selling point of Madison County is its convenience. If you have Sunday tickets for an event at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, you can be there in just an hour and a half said Gentry. “Get your culture and drive back all in a day,” he quipped.

Of course Charlottesville and UVA are also very close if you want to attend cultural and sporting events there or if you just want to go out to dinner.

Broyles called Madison the “most convenient area in the state,” noting it is an easy drive not only to Charlottesville but also to Richmond, Fredericksburg and Northern Virginia.

A big concern for anyone, especially retirees, living in a rural area is availability of medical care. As Gentry said, “the more mature we get, the more hospitals we need.”

Who is Moving to Madison?

The population of Madison County in the early 70s was 6,300. Today it is just over 13,000, but, said Gentry, there has been no net increase in the school population. In other words, a lot of people have moved here, but most do not have school-aged children. Some that do either home school or send them to private schools.

A lot of the retirees who settle in Madison move there from Northern Virginia. “The sales prices are higher there,” Lillard said, “allowing them to buy some of our more expensive listings.” Often, she continued, people buy a second home in Madison to enjoy on weekends, but with the inMadison County continued on pg. 24

property. “The quality of life couldn’t be better,” he said.

Outdoor sports like hiking, hunting and fishing are also part of what make Madison County an attractive place to live. Over 33,000 acres of Madison are actually part of Shenandoah National Park, which is at the county’s western border. Old Rag Mountain, a popular hiking spot, is in Madison. Broyles, whose roots are deep in Madison, said that at one time his grandfather ran the Old Rag Mountain post office before that area was part of the national park system.

Fishing is a big sport in this area, which Broyles said includes three trout streams stocked by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries between October and May. In addition there are plenty of smaller streams with native trout.

President Hoover was a big fan of fishing and explained that many presidents take up this sport because “the only opportunity for refreshment of one’s soul and clarification of one’s thoughts by solitude to Presidents lies through fishing.”

Madison County is also home to several wineries, which offer regular special events. Early Mountain Vineyards offers Sippin into Sunset, every Friday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., which features live music, wine and

Get an objective view Local professionals agree that the chief consideration in evaluating home projects is the return on a seller’s investment.

“You have three seconds to impress,” said Barbara Null, owner of Casa Bella Home Staging and Redesign, who uses model homes for ideas. “You want your home to be move-in ready.”

What that means, said Betty Aguilar of Better Homes and Gardens/Real Estate III, is that any homeowner considering the sale of their home needs to go through the house and property with a new perspective: with an eye of a buyer.

“It’s like the ball or the prom,” Aguilar said. “You don’t want to go halfdressed.”

Sellers only get one chance to make a first impression.

Tom Raney of Nest Realty agrees.

“I’ve never seen a time when condition is playing a greater role in selling [a home] than now,” he said.

Beat the competition With new home pricing and financing at historic lows, there hasn’t been a better time to buy a newly-constructed, decked-out and unlived-in home. Such is the rivalry that resales are up against.

After all, in the mind of a buyer contemplating the purchase of a home in the $250,000 range, questions on whether older appliances, pipes and electrical work will stand the test of time compared to new installations will rumble around. “[Clients] are expecting to buy almost nearly new,” said Raney. “Lots of younger couples have no interest in a lot of fixing up.”

Revamp before market placement The industry professionals agree that the very first thing they recommend to

sellers is a home inspection, due to the fact that home repairs are of crucial importance.

“Breaks need to be fixed, absolutely,” Null said. “And no unfinished jobs either.”

Half-done projects cause buyers to think they will have to spend additional money to complete the work themselves. Sellers do not want to plant that thought in home shoppers, she said.

Since homes are taking a little bit of time to sell these days, Aguilar said, once the inspection is completed, homeowners can find out what’s wrong with their home, “So they can go ahead and get it fixed. When there are [so] many choices, yours has to rise to the top.

“Even if a seller does repairs and the house doesn’t sell, they will still have made a good decision in making repairs so it’s still money well spent, a good return on investment.”

Raney backs Aguilar up and said, “(Buyers) can wait it out. Even with inventory diminishing, they are quick to consider renting until they find just what they want.”

Once an inspection has determined work needed, prioritization is the next step.

Determine project value For sellers that cannot decide which projects to pursue, the pros suggest decluttering as the No. 1 productive effort in renovating the look of a home. Clean out closets, countertops, shelving, nooks and crannies.

“Make it look like a model to compete against brand new builds,” Null said.

“Start looking at the house as not your home and instead, make it appeal to others. It can change a home from night to day.”

Place pots of plants around and play up landscaping, a big plus over newly constructed properties. Start packing unused property and seasonal clothing for the move. “Open” up the “flow” of a house by adding the appearance of space.

Minimize usage of personal effects such as furniture, knick-knacks, books and countertop appliances. Remove screens to let more light in. Change the bedding and curtains according to season.

Reap returns on projects The main question for a homeowner to answer is how fast they want to sell their property to move, or how long they can live with the changes they make.

Null advised “stayers” to do one job at a time, “Prioritize. Do the thing that bugs you most.”

Fixes can get sellers closer to their asking price, said Aguilar. “It gives the buyer confidence and can help prevent a deal from falling through. Be open to ideas other than just lowering the price.”

A sale is the ideal return on renovations, said Raney. “Updates infer upkeep and maintenance records are a big plus.

Sellers will be able to position the home as the best in its price range; it will sell faster and will provide the return on their investment.”

o renovate, or not to renovate; that is the question.

Sooner or later a homeowner comes face to face with the need or the desire to make changes to the ol’ homestead whether it is revamping the yard with new landscaping, upgrading old systems such as the plumbing or heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or repairing existing wear and tear from daily living.

For home sellers, the decision-making process often arrives sooner than later.

Raney, who usually checks out a home’s carpeting first, said, “It can make or break walking in the door.”

Null concurred. “A home has to be spotlessly clean. Hire a crew if needed.”

And remember, “Clean doesn’t have a smell,” said Aguilar.

Find out what’s beneath carpeting that might be too far gone. If it’s a hardwood floor, expose it.

“It might just need a buff,” Aguilar said. “That’s a good return on your investment.”

Another feature the pros suggest that can separate a home from the surplus of available homes is a consumer's warranty.

“It’s worth every penny because it makes your home more attractive,” said Aguilar. “For resale homes, it helps them compete with new construction.”

Buyers don’t want to be doing repairs soon after their purchase, Raney said, and a one-year warranty will put a resale home on equal status with new homes.

A third aspect to consider when evaluating home projects is specific rooms to address, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Null suggests pondering painting cabinets, a trend away from the wood look and changing out cabinet hardware and lighting fixtures. Null said it is an effective revamp she’s used in her own properties since she began buying at age 21.

As to painting or not, the jury is still out. Some in the industry feel it is a lowcost project that can freshen up the look of a home, while others feel that it need only be done to neutralize previous colors.
