NEWS & VIEWS

Market Overview There were 492 homes sold in the Charlottesville area in the first quarter, which was up 6.3% (+29 sales) from the first quarter last year and the highest Q1 sales rate since 2007. Though the average sales price dropped a nominal 1.2% from Q1-2012, this increase in closed sales resulted in a 5% year-over-year increase in sold dollar volume (+$6.4M) to $136,183,295.

Louisa County (19 more sales than Q1-2012) and Nelson County (18 more sales than Q1-2012) both had big spikes in sales compared to Q1-2012, increasing by 70.4% to 46 sales and 51.4% to 53 sales respectively. Fluvanna (+25.8%) picked up 16 more sales to record 78 while Greene (+6.8%) also posted a yearover-year increase (+6.8%). Charlottesville (-22.0%) experienced the largest decline in sales volume from Q1-2012 levels with 18 fewer sales. Albemarle (-4.2%) also saw a decline in sales volume, with the 213 sales in the quarter representing nine fewer sales than Q1-2012.

“It’s great to see the increase in home sales and pending contracts across our market area in Q1-2013,” reports CAAR 2013 President Denise Ramey. “The high number of pending contracts bodes well for strong home sale numbers in Q2 and 2013.”

Sales Price Activity & Volatile Inventory of Homes for Sale The $227,500 median sale price in the first Quarter was essentially unchanged from the $230,000 level of Q1-2012. There was fluctuation across the various counties, with Greene’s median sale price increasing 41.8% to $249,900 and Nelson decreasing 25.5% to $197,000. Albemarle, the

area with the highest median sale price at $285,250, experienced a 2.5% yearover-year decline. The City of Charlottesville had the second highest annual gain in the first Quarter, with a median sale price of $239,250 representing an 18.4% increase over the Q1-2012 level. Louisa (-19.4%) and Fluvanna (-10.2%) both saw double-digit declines in median sale price.

With 1,430 new listings added in Q12013, new listing activity was up 10.8% compared to Q1-2012, the second consecutive quarter with significant gains in new listing activity (Q4-2012 new listings were 9.4% more than Q42011). After four consecutive quarters ending with double-digit year-over-year declines in active inventory, the 2,068

Market Share by BankMediated Status The 61 active foreclosure listings at the end of Q1 represent a 26.2% decrease from this time last year though the 70 active short sales are one more than the 69 listed at the end of Q1-2012.

SPCA to Hold Low-Cost Rabies Clinic Rabies is a deadly, but a 100 percent

preventable disease. Virginia state law requires that all dogs and cats over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies. On Sunday, April 21st from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the Charlottesville- Albemarle SPCA is holding a low-cost Rabies Vaccine Clinic. Pet owners can have their pet(s) vaccinated at the SPCA during this clinic for just $10.00 per pet. Attendees must bring all dogs on a leash and all cats in a carrier.

Pet owners will need to show proof of current rabies vaccine in order to receive a three-year vaccine.

The SPCA reminds the public that keeping your pets’ immunizations upto-date is the best way to protect your family from the rabies virus. Event organizer Beth McPhee, the SPCA’s Director of Business Affairs, reports that the Rabies Clinic and the SPCA’s subsidized spay/neuter program “are two of the many ways the SPCA reaches out to help the community care for their pets.” Staff will also be on hand during the Rabies Clinic to schedule free/affordable Spay/Neuter appointments at Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA. City of Charlottesville and County of Albemarle Dog Licenses will also be available for purchase.

The Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA is a nonprofit animal welfare organization that provides a safe environment for the lost, abandoned, and homeless animals of Charlottesville and Albemarle County, and places them in good homes. We strive to set a standard of excellence and leadership in animal care, humane education, and progressive animal welfare programs. For more information about

UVA Community Credit Union and The Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) announce the official start of the 2013 PowerSaver Home Makeover Contest. Prizes include one entrant winning a $10,000 PowerSaver Home Makeover and two entrants winning a $5,000 PowerSaver Home Makeover. Additionally, 10 finalists will win a professional Home Energy Assessment (estimated value is $500).

Entries will be accepted through May 31 with additional details atwww.PowerSaverMakeover.org.

“We’re happy to co-sponsor the PowerSaver Home Makeover Contest,” says Alison DeTuncq, President/ CEO of UVA Community Credit Union. “The Contest is a great way to increase awareness of the benefits energy-efficient home improvements can provide above and beyond saving energy such as healthier and more comfortable homes, improved property values, more money in homeowners’ pockets, and a cleaner environment for our community.”

“This Contest is a unique and exciting opportunity for the Central Virginia community to learn more about their homes, as well as the different local programs available to help them save money on energy bills,” said Cynthia Adams, Executive Director of LEAP and co-sponsor of the PowerSaver Home Makeover Contest.

“Through this program and Contest, it’s easy to increase the value of homes through repairs or upgrades.”

2013 PowerSaver Home Makeover Contest

NEWS & VIEWS

This April marks the 45th anniversary of the federal Fair Housing Act and Piedmont Housing Authority (PHA) is commemorating Fair Housing Month with two special events. Both are free and open to the public. Register by calling 817-2436 x 123 or emailing marguerited@piedmonthousing.org.

Additional support for the 2013 PowerSaver Home Makeover Contest is also provided by Dominion Virginia Power and Rappahannock Electric Cooperative.

“This is the second time we’ve partnered with the credit union to bring free energy makeovers to Central Virginia residents. We’re looking forward to even bigger success than our 2011 Contest, as more and more homeowners understand the many benefits an energy efficient property gives them,” said Adams.

UVA Community Credit Union is a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative that provides a wide range of convenient and professionally managed financial services to its more than 60,000 members. Membership Eligibility: Membership is open to those who live or work in Charlottesville, Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, or Orange. Business Eligibility: Membership is open to any business located in our field of membership. The credit union’s PowerSaver Loan program is a national, government-based program offering lower loan rates to homeowners looking to repair or upgrade their home’s energy efficiency.

The Local Energy Alliance Program is a community-based 501c3 nonprofit serving areas of central and northern Virginia. Leveraging and bundling existing incentives from all levels of government and local utilities, LEAP provides local residents with a onestop shop of who to call, what to do, and how to pay for it when it comes to creating a healthier, more comfortable and affordable home or building. As the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program sponsor for the community, they seek to streamline the home energy assessment-to-upgrade process in order to keep costs down for everyone.

Why Open House Weekend?

Open houses have long been an important tool to help REALTORS® sell their listings; and with good reason.

She explained that with this kind of focus, sellers make a special effort to have their home look its best because they know they are part of a much larger undertaking.

It’s kind of like having a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, she said, and “when you are in a parade you are not by yourself.”

Dan Conquest, also of Roy Wheeler Realty, emphasized the exposure that this special event offers to participating listings. This kind of exposure “raises the level of awareness of open houses to the public,” he said. By being a

national event it gets peoples’ attention in a way that is not available the rest of the year, he added.

The National Open House Weekend also marks the beginning of house hunting season, explained Steve King with Montague, Miller and Co. Realtors, who went on to say that it is a great opportunity to get potential buyers into available listings.

“This multiple event entices more people to look at and preview more homes quickly,” he said. They can get out and get a feel for the market before they start working with a REALTOR®. Spring is a great time to have it because that is the time of year when people love to get out and enjoy the warmer weather, he added.

are these buyers? The NAR statistics show that mid-income buyers and those 65 and older are most likely to find homes through open houses, and that their use of this particular search tool increases with age.

While they may not make a buying decision while at the open house, purchasers may start their search by walking into one. Conquest described one occasion when some buyers came into an open house, looked around, and thought it wasn’t what they wanted.

They called their agent and looked at quite a few other homes before realizing that first house really did meet their needs. It just required some renovation to make it perfect. It took the awareness that came from their broader search to recognize the value of the first home.

Access to the kind of education that comes from seeing multiple homes in just two days is one of the many benefits of the National Open House Weekend.

While any buyers may enjoy walking through open houses, the NAR data

suggest that repeat buyers may be more likely to consider open houses as a way to find what they are looking for. Nevertheless, King suggested that the open house weekend is a great way for first timers to “get their feet wet in a relaxed atmosphere.” It is also a wonderful opportunity for them to learn about the home buying process from professionals who work in the market every day.

Often, King continued, the first timers don’t realize they can buy a home with monthly payments that are less than what they now pay for rent.

Many of the homes will have mortgage information available from local lenders showing the monthly payment for different amounts of down payment and different loan programs, allowing first timers to see that owning their own home is indeed feasible.

A Great Opportunity for Sellers On an ordinary weekend there may be a handful of open houses and these rely primarily on the efforts of individual agents to get the word out so buyers will appear. Margaret Ramsey, with Charlotte Ramsey Realtors, Inc., explained that one of the many benefits of the National Open House Weekend is that agents and sellers get an extra boost from ads run by the NAR encouraging people to come participate.

In addition to national ads there will be local coverage. Information about participating listings will be available on a page at CAAR’s website (nohw.caar.com), and also in the Daily Progress, which will carry a special insert. If you are driving through a

neighborhood wanting to find open house participants, look for balloons with the signature blue “R” for REALTOR® in addition, of course, to open house signs.

Another reason for sellers to participate in the open house weekend is that it coincides with Garden Week.

This is a big event that brings lots of people to the area, Sands explained.

They come to admire the beautiful landscaping and get interested in the homes that are for sale.

Of course Charlottesville is an attractive place for retirees who, Sands said, come from as far away as Connecticut, Dallas and Chicago. For people coming from out of town, Garden Week and the open house weekend are a great way to “show off our state and Charlottesville at their finest.”

This combination of events is also motivating for sellers, Sands continued. Being part of this larger event helps people to take pride in their home and “take it to the next level,” when preparing it for sale. “People are really fixing up their homes for it,” she added.

The open house weekend also helps sellers by allowing them to gauge the competition. Pricing a home correctly is the most critical step to marketing it successfully, but many sellers have no idea how their house compares to others in the area. Seeing homes already on the market allows sellers to compare them to the size and condition of their own.

Conquest explained that he often takes sellers out to look at existing listings to educate them about the market. The National Open House Weekend allows potential sellers to begin this process on their own, and to see a much larger variety of homes and neighborhoods than they would be able to do otherwise.

Ramsey explained that when she meets with sellers about listing their house, she gives them printouts of comparable homes to look at along with a suggested price range. Then she asks “If you were the buyer, where would you put your home within this range?” When sellers participate in the open house weekend, they are better able to “judge the market,” she explained and this facilitates the choice of a more accurate price for their home.

Staging and Preparation Once a home is listed, preparing it for sale so that it shows at its best is critical.

While agents are able to offer general guidelines about this process, there’s nothing like seeing other homes when they look their best.

For example, Ramsey explained that a home may just feel too dark.

While she can explain this to a seller based on her experience, it is more effective for them to visit other homes that have achieved a brighter look, and to see how they accomplished it.

Having attended some of the homes on the open house they can also learn the importance of such critical steps as decluttering and putting away personal pictures and knickknacks.

Charlottesville’s Spring Market The agents agreed that the market is a lot more active than it has been in some time. Ramsey said she was “busier than ever.” King agreed stating that the “activity is back.” It started the first part of last year, he added, and has continued to grow. “Inventory is a problem now,” he said.

This being the case, the open house event is a great opportunity for buyers

and sellers to get serious about taking advantage of the current market.

Prices are still lower than they were a few years ago when the market was very hot, King explained, but there is an important tradeoff. While sellers may find they won’t net as much when they sell their house as they would have a few years back, at the same time, they will also find much better deals whey they purchase their next one.

Which is to say that regardless of whether you are a buyer or seller, or both, the time to jump in the market is now, and a great way to start is by attending Charlottesville’s National Open House Weekend on April 20th and 21st.

– Minnie Aumonier

By Ken Wilson Minnie Aumonier is the gardening world’s mystery woman, known for a couple of charming aphorisms and otherwise not known at all, but it’s safe to say she would have loved Virginia in April. April is when the dogwoods bloom – and the red buds, azaleas, and bluebells. April is when the Garden Club of Virginia holds Historic Garden Week. This year, April 20-27, some 30,000 flower fans from across the Southeast will enjoy tours of 200 private homes and gardens in the only such statewide event in the nation. Several properties in Charlottesville and Albemarle County will be open to the public April 20-23.

“It’s hard to conceive of the breadth of this statewide event, so we like to share some surprising numbers,” says Historic Garden Week State Chairman, Anne Geddy Cross. “In addition to the amazing interiors and gardens on display, Garden Club of Virginia volunteers will create over 2,000 spectacular floral arrangements to decorate the rooms.

Most of the flowers will come from their very own gardens. And the efforts of the homeowners are impressive too.

We estimate that 15 tons of mulch will be used just for homes featured on Historic Garden Week this spring.”

Historic Garden Week is the largest volunteer effort in the commonwealth, and has raised more than $17 million for the preservation of public gardens since it was first held in 1929. Preservation projects are currently underway at 41 different locations across the state, including Monticello, Montpelier, Poplar Forest, and the Executive Mansion in Richmond.

brick manor house begun in 1820 in the late-Georgian/Federal style.

Landscape architect Annette Hoyt Flanders restored Morven’s gardens in 1930, adding entrance gates, brick detailing, and slate seats, and making designs to plant shrubs, perennials, and annuals in a palette of purple, blue, pink, white, and yellow. The gardens include a dove tree, a pair of Osage orange trees, and a Chinese chestnut.

They can be seen on Saturday, April 20. Tickets for adults are $15 in advance, and $20 the day of the tour, and are non-refundable even if the tour is canceled due to inclement weather.

“I have often thought that if heaven had given me a choice of my position and calling, it would have been on a rich spot of earth. No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.” – Thomas Jefferson

University of Virginia Pavilion Gardens Thomas Jefferson’s designs for the University of Virginia’s Lawn and Pavilions are among the glories of American architecture, and his Pavilion Gardens are celebrated for their elegant brick serpentine walls. Originally filled not only with flowers and trees, but with smokehouses and animal sheds, they were eventually marred by additional buildings, roads, and walls. Using an engraving of Jefferson’s sketch for the Lawn as its guide, the Garden Club began

restoring the gardens from 1947 through 1960 to reflect their initial layout—if not their utilitarian character.

Free tours of the restored gardens will be given at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 23. Several Pavilion homes on the East Lawn, including Pavilion VI, which features a fresco on a bedroom wall, will also be open for viewing. Nearby at UVA’s Albert and Shirley Small Specials Collections library, at 2:00 p.m., Patricia M. O’Donnell from Heritage Landscapes, LLC will draw on original source materials including archaeological and landscape reports in a discussion of the history of the Lawn and Gardens.

Emmet, Jefferson’s choice as UVA’s first professor of natural history. Located on Sprigg Lane, off Emmet Street just north of Alumni Hall, it is named after the mulberries cultivated for experiments with silkworms.

Morea’s arboretum was planted by the Albemarle Garden Club in 1963, and now includes hollies and many native Virginia plants, plus Kentucky coffee trees, Osage orange trees, and a champion linden. Morea’s gardens will be open to the public for free on Tuesday, April 23, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Carr’s Hill

Horticulturist and author André Viette will speak about the changes in gardening from Jefferson’s time to the present, at a garden party on Monticello’s West Lawn, Monday, April 22 at 6:00 p.m. Tickets are $65 per person. The Garden Club of Virginia’s Will Rieley will give a free lecture on “Restoring Monticello’s Historic Landscape” Tuesday, April 23 at 10:00 a.m., followed by a walking tour of the restored landscape with Monticello’s Director of Garden and Grounds, Gabriele Rausse.

Monticello’s Curator of Plants, Peggy Cornett, will lecture on “The Restoration of the Flower Gardens at Monticello,” Tuesday, April 23, 2:00 p.m., followed by a tour of the gardens and nursery at Tufton Farm. The program is free but advanced registration is required.

Designed by the renowned New York architecture firm of McKim, Mead and White, and set on a knoll opposite the Rotunda, Carr’s Hill serves as home to the University’s president. Finished in 1909, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Carr’s Hill garden, with its tulips, azaleas, hostas, hollies, dogwoods and more, will be open noon to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday. Free garden tours will be given by Master Gardener John Sauer, Carr’s Hill gardener for Presidents Hereford, O’Neil, Casteen, and Sullivan.

“ . . . there is always the garden.”

Morven Estate Gardens and House History buffs and garden lovers in Central Virginia cherish Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and James Monroe’s AshLawn, but many have never seen the 7379-acre estate of Morven, just a couple of minutes up the road. Known in Jefferson’s day as “Indian Camp,” probably in reference to the Monacan tribes that lived nearby, Morven boasts a three-story

Monticello and Ash-Lawn Highlands

Up at James Monroe’s Ash-Lawn, costumed guides will demonstrate farm skills including open hearth cooking, candle making, spinning, and paper quilling. Regular admission fees apply.

Charlottesville Garden Club member Adonice D’Atre grew up in Charlottesville and remembers going on Garden Week tours with her mother.

“We’re very, very thankful for families who open their homes and gardens,” D’Atre says, “because it’s so generous to do that. In this digital age, we’re not as a society appreciating beauty in nature as much as I think we should, and so I’m really excited that there is an effort to preserve public historic gardens. To me that’s one of the most exciting thing about Historic Garden Week.”
