There were 1,420 new listings added in the quarter, 3.7% more than in Q2-2012, the third consecutive quarter with increased listing activity. The 2,179 active listings at the end of the quarter are down 4.8% from the same period last year. This is 14.1% lower than the five-year June 30th average.

Nine of every 10 active listings (95.3%) are non-distressed properties.

Analysis of Charlottesville Short Sale and Foreclosures Only 58 of the 815 sales in the 2nd Quarter, or 7.7%, were foreclosures. This represents 11 fewer foreclosure sales versus Q2-2012, when foreclosures accounted for 9.4% of sales. “The heightened activity surrounding high-end purchases is more evidence of a strengthening market. We’ve seen the sales over $1 million nearly double, to 19 sales in Q2-2013

BUSINESS IS BOOMING

onveniently located just15 minutes outside of Charlottesville, Zion Crossroads is a great place to stop for gas and supplies when traveling between Charlottesville and Richmond. More than that, however, it is a rapidly expanding commercial center with restaurants, retail stores of every variety and a growing number of medical facilities. It is also home to many happy families who were initially attracted by the convenience and the location, but fell in love with a lifestyle which offers the relaxed atmosphere of country living with easy access to all of the amenities of town.

The real estate market is good in Zion Crossroads and REALTORS® report steady residential sales, including a welcome increase in contracts on new construction in the gated community of Spring Creek and elsewhere. Buyers like the growing number of resources now available in this area and the accessibility of both Charlottesville and Richmond, as well as all of the nearby historic sites and recreational activities.

Sharon Williams, with Roy Wheeler Realty Co., summed up what many feel about Zion Crossroads when she said, “It’s the happening place today!”

to find 3,000 square feet for the same price they might pay for 1,200 square feet in Albemarle.

Several of the agents mentioned the surprising number of households in which one spouse finds work in Charlottesville while the other commutes to Richmond. Obviously Zion Crossroads is ideally located for families in this situation.

Property taxes, which are lower in Louisa than they are in Albemarle, are also a draw, said Dan Girouard, Sales Director at Spring Creek. This feature can be especially appealing to people on strict budgets like some of the many retirees who appreciate all of the amenities available in Spring Creek, he added.

In short, Zion Crossroads offers a great quality of life without all of the noise and congestion that comes with living in town. Jack Crocker, with Re/ Max Assured Properties expressed this very poetically when he said: “In Zion Crossroads you have all of the benefits of city living, but at the same time you can still see the stars at night.”

Residential Real Estate Sales Are Brisk Patton is happy with the real estate market, noting that builders are selling new homes in Spring Creek and in several other local subdivisions. This increase in new construction sales is definitely good news, she added.

Williams described the current residential market as “extremely busy.”

She is also excited to see movement in the new homes market noting that these properties are selling consistently. It’s also a great time for buyers, she added, since resale prices are still down and interest rates continue to be at all time lows.

Girouard also confirmed the good news about sales of new construction.

He said that there are many new homes under construction in Spring Creek, and the other good news is that sales are ahead of last year’s pace.

In addition to the new construction opportunities in Zion Crossroads, there are resale properties available in some of the older subdivisions that feature large wooded lots that are both private

and accessible. These homes are in what Andy Wade, Director of Economic Development for Louisa County, calls “hidden residential pockets.”

Patton explained that buyers can choose from a number of fine resale properties in addition to the new construction. However, she cautioned that like in a lot of places in our area, inventory is low. Given the rapidly changing market conditions and all of the options, it is important for anyone wanting to buy or sell a home in this area to ask a REALTOR® familiar with the local situation to assist them, Patton urged.

Zion Crossroads Buyers Zion Crossroads appeals to many different kinds of buyers. Girouard explained that in Spring Creek about half of the sales are to working families who commute into Richmond or Charlottesville or both for jobs.

The other half of the buyers are people who are at or near retirement.

People come here from all over, but many move here from Northern Virginia, he said. In some cases they are returning to an area they fell in love with when they were students at UVA. Others relocate here to be near children and grandchildren, while still others had passed through at one time or another during their earlier lives and decided they would come back to Zion Crossroads continued on pg. 18

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

“You can’t beat the accessibility,” said Donna Patton with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III. Not only is it an easy drive to Charlottesville and only 45 minutes to great shopping in Short Pump on the west end of Richmond, but Culpeper, Gordonsville and Orange are also close. In addition Lake Anna with all of its recreational opportunities is an easy trip and, of course, Wintergreen with its skiing and other winter sports is close by as well. It’s a genuine crossroads area, Patton explained.

Lack of congestion is another feature that people love about Zion Crossroads. In the past, people living out in this area would have to brave the traffic on Route 29 in order to shop at places like Lowes and Walmart. Now these two stores are available locally, along with a growing number of others, making it easy to stay close to home, save on gas and avoid all the traffic.

Similarly, for people living on the east end of Charlottesville, the quick drive to Zion Crossroads on I-64 is a lot simpler and involves less stop and go traffic than heading through town.

Zion Crossroads has a special appeal for professionals because its so easy to get to Charlottesville for work, said Tom Woolfolk with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III. Lately he has helped a number of families who moved here from out of the area and needed to find rental homes. In one instance, the spouses are both physicians with positions at UVA, who love living in Spring Creek in part because of the ease with which they can get to the medical center.

Home prices are another reason people are shopping in Zion Crossroads. “Not only is this area ideally located, but it is very affordable,” said Woolfolk. He explained that someone who wants a larger home may be able

thing for everyone. She also suggested that nearby Lake Monticello currently offers a number of good options for first timers looking for a home under $200,000. This community’s proximity to Zion Crossroads means residents can take advantage of all it has to offer while enjoying the recreational opportunities of living at the lake.

Zion Crossroads Commercial Market is also Lively

FEATURE

The growing numbers of people moving to Zion Crossroads increases the demand for commercial development.

At the same time, the expansion of commercial services makes this area even more attractive to people looking for a place to live. Today residents can shop, eat out and find many of the services they need and still stay within 15 minutes of home, Patton said, and this is a huge convenience.

In the last year, the two big retail tenants of Lowes and a Super WalMart have been joined by an Advance Auto Parts store. The number of fast food places is also growing. Girouard says there is a new Wendy’s under construction that will join Arbys, IHOP, Subway and McDonalds in this restaurant category. Ethnic cuisine is available at Made in Asia featuring Thai and Chinese food, or Il Castello that offers pizza and other Italian food.

Many personal care services can be found nearby, including hair and nail salons and an Anytime Fitness, which offers the convenience of a place to

enjoy retirement in this area so full of natural beauty.

Lately Girouard has noticed yet another trend amongst some of the retirees moving to Spring Creek. These are people who have lived in nearby gated communities, such as Lake Monticello or Glenmore, and appreciate the security as well as the associated amenities such as golf and tennis. However, now that they are empty nesters, they want a smaller, more energy efficient home but don’t want to give up their gated community lifestyle.

For this group, Spring Creek offers the opportunity to build a brand new one-level home customized to meet their age and health related needs with universal design features that allow them to stay independent for as long as possible. At the same time they can participate in their favorite activities in a beautiful setting while still enjoying

the safety and security that comes with living in a gated community.

“Spring Creek appeals to Boomers,” Williams said. They like the lifestyle with the golf course, the clubhouse and all the related activities, such as walking trails, pools and the state of the art fitness center. And there is more good news.

Girouard said that they have just broken ground for a new golf club house in Spring Creek. It will feature restaurant and pub dining and offer locker rooms for golf members. Banquet facilities will be available for big events such as tournaments and weddings.

Buyers wanting to move to Zion Crossroads, such as first time buyers or others who don’t want the extra expense of home owners association fees or who may not be interested in lots of extra amenities, can still find a great home in one of the other local subdivisions, Williams explained. In other words, Zion Crossroads has some-

work out 24 hours a day just 15 minutes from home.

Residents of Zion Crossroads also enjoy an increasing number of medical and dental care services, many of which can be found in the Spring Creek Business Park (home of IHOP and the Best Western), which Girouard says is now evolving into a medical campus.

Both of Charlottesville’s hospitals have a presence in this center. Martha Jefferson offers imaging services including digital X-rays and mammograms, lab and EKG services. The availability of digital X-rays means quick turn around time with results sent electronically to a patient’s physician for immediate viewing and evaluation. Two full-time family physicians provide preventive and acute care, as well as chronic illness care and sports physicals.

The UVA Medical Park, a 45,000 square foot facility, is also located there with a planned opening set for the end of this summer. It will offer a full range of services, including imaging as well as primary and specialty care plus a pharmacy and a lab.

Crossroads Animal Hospital is available for animal owners who need preventive care or have ill or injured pets.

Buyers who want to take advantage of all that Zion Crossroads has to offer, should call their REALTOR® now while prices and interest rates remain low.

“A deck is always a bonus,” declares Realtor® Kelly Lindauer of Charlottesville’s Better Homes & Gardens Realty. “It’s inexpensive additional living space and it enhances the perceived value of a property.”

Lindauer frequently works with a builder and adds, “Right now there’s a house we are building with a second-floor deck as well as one on the first floor.

We just believe in decks.”

DECKS ENHANCE A HOME

When homebuyers end up with a place without a deck, it’s often their first project because decks are attractive and functional additions to a home. The width and angle of the floorboards can be arranged in a variety of patterns—diagonal, parallel or perpendicular—that are pleasing to the eye and echo the design of the house.

Decks create a transition from indoors to the yard and can be a perfect spot for a cup of coffee and checking the e-mail on a cool morning or a weekend barbecue with friends. They can also provide garden space with built-in planters and hanging baskets. A gardening table or storage space under seating benches can hold supplies.

Another attractive feature can be an overhead trellis that provides privacy and shade with vines or slatted boards. The arrangement, size, spacing and angle of the roof sections in relation to the sun’s path can determine the degree of protection.

DECKS AS PROBLEM SOLVERS

Many homeowners have discovered that decks not only look good, but can also provide solutions to special problems. For example, a steep lot makes it tough to maintain a lawn and the cost of leveling the ground for a concrete patio may be prohibitive.

In this case, a deck built on supporting posts can be the answer.

Hillside decks can also provide storage areas and extra outdoor living space. Adding a second story or even a rooftop deck is an excellent way of dealing with difficult terrain. A variation of the hillside deck extends from an upper story to add living space to a second-floor bedroom, playroom or den. Such

decks can even be designed as attractive, multilevel series of living platforms right down to the ground.

If the deck is watertight with a good under-deck drainage system, it can serve as a roof to create a wet-weather sitting area or a shady play area for children. With the addition of concealing lattice it can serve to store yard and garden equipment in a handy and out-of-sight place.

If a lot has a portion that’s too damp or shady to grow a lawn, a deck can transform the area into a functional addition to a home’s living space. Decks can also be built around existing trees, protecting their roots from the damage caused by over-watering or chewing by a lawn mower.

Decks can also solve budget problems, too. Digging out a deteriorated concrete patio or pool deck can be prohibitively expensive and in older homes with mature trees it may simply be impossible for needed equipment to reach the old concrete. In such cases, a deck can be built atop the eyesore and completely transform the area. One family even filled in a badly cracked in-ground pool with sand, and then built a handsome deck over it.

A VARIETY OF DECKING MATERIALS

Wood, either cedar or redwood or pressure-treated yellow pine, is a popular choice for decking. These days alternative materials are being used more and more by people who want to enjoy their deck without the maintenance required by wood and low-maintenance alternatives are available in many colors and textures. They include all-plastic decking or plasticand-fiber composites many including recycled materials. Aluminum is also an option and comes in a variety of colors and designs mimicking wood grains.

While a high-quality deck may cost as much or more than the equivalent amount of concrete for a patio, a project can be built in stages to spread out the cost. Start with a simple deck, then gradually add privacy lattice, more deck sections, railings, built-in benches, built-in tables, planter boxes, a trellis, or even a gazebo.

For evenings, choose from a variety of lighting styles designed specifically for decks with fixtures mounted on railing corners or decorative posts.

Whether you undertake the deck project yourself

or have it built by a professional, a well-thought-out step-by-step plan is the key to a successful project.

Bookstores and local home-improvement stores offer a variety of comprehensive book with DIY instructions, photographs and plans. Online sites often have ideas, designs and pictures of a large variety of decks.

■ Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville and were delighted that the home they bought from its original owners had a two-level deck joined by a wide steps.
