New Green Appraisal Addendum Available Through LEAP Home Value Can Now Accurately Reflect Energy Efficiency Upgrades Homeowners interested in selling their home, refinancing or applying for a secured line of credit have a new tool at their disposal to increase their home value by accounting for home energy improvements such as insulation, air sealing and duct sealing. The Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) announced that it will offers homeowners the “Residential Green and Energy Efficient Appraisal Addendum” through their new Home Sellers Package.

Learn more at leap-va.org/realestate.

The Appraisal Institute, a global membership association of professional real estate appraisers throughout the world, has recently given LEAP the unique ability to fill out a form called the “Residential Green and Energy Efficient Appraisal Addendum.” The addendum allows for comprehensive documentation of the energy efficient features of a home and, where applicable, recognition of a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR (HPwES)

certificate. The addendum makes it easier for an appraiser to correctly assess the value of those features. Until now there has been no standard approach or recognizing these features or assigning value, leaving them unnoticed and undervalued.

“Home sellers want to maximize the home improvement investments they’ve made, and home buyers want to see evidence of those improvements. Appraisers, REALTORS® and mortgage bankers need a tool to make them “visible,” to factor them into the home’s appraisal,” said Cynthia Adams, LEAP’s Executive Director. “With tools like the ‘Green and Energy Efficient Appraisal Addendum,’ home energy upgrades like insulation and HVAC replacement can be valued.”

LEAP’s new Home Sellers Package includes an evaluation of your home energy upgrades, a Home Energy Score, completion of the Residential Green and Energy Efficient Appraisal Addendum, and a one-page promotional flyer about your house to share with your realtor and prospective buyers.

Numerous studies and surveys in recent years have found that home prices jumped when energy efficiency upgrades were certified and that prospective buyers put a premium on these features and the lower energy bills they promise.

• Existing homes with certificates from third-party companies for sustainability and energy efficiency (i.e.

LEED for Homes, ENERGY STAR, EarthCraft) sold for 4-9 percent more than similar houses without certificates and spent 18 days less time on the market, according to a study by the Earth Advantage Institute. Similar results of a 9 percent premium on “green home labels” was found by researchers the University of California

-Berkeley and UCLA. • The National Association of Home Builders found that 90 percent of people say energy efficiency is important when buying or selling a house, and 73 percent say projected energy costs would sway their decision to buy a house.

“CAAR has worked closely with LEAP over the years to promote energy efficiency among our members, and we are pleased to have this additional resource in our community,” said Anne Gardner, CEO of the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS(R) (CAAR). “It will help the listing agents get information on high performing homes into the MLS, and selling agents make sure there is adequate documentation for an accurate appraisal.”

“In the home search process, it has become the norm for buyers to request utility history,” said Greg Slater of Nest Realty. “People valuean energy efficient home and are interested in the cost to operate the home in the context of the overall cost of home ownership. LEAP’s Home Seller’s Package will assist not only home sellers, but also home buyers who want to know about qualitative benefits that come from a high performing home.”

VIRGINIA

WINE Right Century, Right Season

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

FEATURE

BY KEN WILSON

W

hat the Founding Fathers foundered at, 21st century Virginians are perfecting.

Thomas Jefferson tried for 36 years to grow grapes suitable for winemaking.

George Washington kept at it for 11.

Virginia had the “soil, aspect, and climate of the best wine countries,” Jefferson contended. “We could, in the United States, make as great a variety of wines as are made in Europe, not exactly of the same kinds, but doubtless as good.” We could and now we have.

As American Minister to France between 1784 and 1789, Jefferson fell in love with wine. As president from 1801 to 1809, he spent $7,500 on the stuff, even managing to bore John Quincy Adams with his dinnertime discourse on the subject. (“There was, as usual, a dissertation upon wines. Not very edifying.”) At Monticello he and his household drank 400 bottles per year.

But he never bottled his own. Even with the help of Florentine viticulturist Filipo Mazzei, with whom he imported European grapevines and planted a 400-acre tract adjacent to Monticello, Jefferson failed to produce a drinkable vintage, thwarted by frost, mildew, the phylloxera pest, and the hooves of Hessian horses. Some of his vines may even have been dead before they were planted. The Virginia Wine Company, a venture with such prestigious investors as George Washington, George Wythe and the Royal Governor of Virginia, didn’t make it either.

By the 1820s, other intrepid growers were actually making wine with Native American grapes. From 1873 until 1916, Monticello Wine Company operated a four-story, 220,000 gallon-capacity operation in Charlottesville, winning international acclaim (“best red wine of all nations”) at the Vienna Exposition for its Virginia Claret Wine made from Norton grapes, and earning the region – perhaps before the honor was worth a great deal – the title of “Capital of the Wine Belt in Virginia.”

Prohibition shut down Virginia wineries, but six new ventures opened in the 1970s. By 1995, there were 46 wineries in the commonwealth, and today there are 259, mostly small and family-owned, producing 511,000 cases of wine annually.

Three centuries after grape growing confounded Jefferson, you can’t run off the road in the Charlottesville countryside without running over some winery’s grapes. Note carefully the colors of the stains on your hubcaps. If it’s dark red, those grapes you’ve just pressed before their time could have been intended for Cabernet Franc or

“Father of the Constitution” and America’s fourth president, James Madison owned a 2,700-acre estate in Orange County. He named it Montpelier and claimed it was just “a squir-

we’ve made our own – in 2011 the Virginia Wine Board proclaimed Viognier Virginia’s signature grape, and in blind tastings many experts preferred the home product. Virginia Viogniers are known for their rich apricot, honeysuckle, peach and orange peel aromas, and pair especially well with pork and chicken.

Like Viognier, Cabernet Franc grapes were first planted in southern France. Like Viognier, they like Virginia’s hot and humid summers, and like Viognier, the Virginia version is developing a reputation. A Bordeaux-style wine, similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc tastes of red and black berries and plums, and pairs well with beef and lamb.

Petit Verdot is a red wine produced from grapes originally grown in the Bordeaux region of southern France.

The 2014 Montpelier Wine Festival will feature specialty food vendors, arts and crafts vendors, live music, children’s entertainment and rides, and – of course – local wine tastings.

Most often, the grape is blended with other varietals; in cool growing seasons, however, it suffers. Here in Virginia, where it doesn’t have that problem, it’s increasingly becoming a star on its own, producing big, bold wines with dark hues, firm tannins, and spicy palates.

Travel and Leisure magazine has called Virginia one of five up-and-coming wine regions (along with areas of Chile, Italy, Spain and New Zealand) worthy of “the must-visit list of any adventurous wine traveler.” With wine festival season about to begin, let’s take a look at where and when to sample fine Virginia wine.

13 MAY 1 - MAY 6, 2014 ISSUE 23-18

Petit Verdot, two wines we excel at. If it’s lighter in color, it may be Viognier.

It took local vintners and vineyard owners “a long time to figure out what works” in our soil and climate, notes Matthew Brown of Wine Warehouse, in an observation that wouldn’t have surprised Jefferson. “It takes 8 to 10 years of a grape being under vine for it to do great. The first two or three years you’re not getting anything out of it.

You have to wait for the wines to get established.” The wait is over, however, and the knowledge has been gained.

“More of the wineries are going to those varietals,” Brown says, speaking of Viognier, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot “because they produce well consistently.”

Viognier is a white wine thought to have originated in the Rhone Valley in southern France, from grape vines some believe were planted by the Greeks or Romans, but it’s a varietal

rel’s jump from Heaven.” Madison’s wife Dolley was a famously hospitable hostess not only for her husband, but also earlier for the widowed Jefferson.

It seems fitting then, that Montpelier invites the public to not just one but two wine annual festivals.

The 2014 Montpelier Wine Festival on May 3 and May 4 will feature specialty food vendors, arts and crafts vendors, live music, children’s entertainment and rides, and – of course – local wine tastings.

Participating wineries will include Barboursville Vineyards; Cooper Vineyards; DelFosse Vineyard and Winery; Democracy Vineyards; Glass House Winery; Horton Vineyards; Ingleside Vineyards; Jefferson Vineyard; Lake Anna Winery; Lazy Days; Mattaponi Winery; Peaks of Otter Winery; Prince Michel Vineyards; Reynard Florence Vineyard; Rockbridge Vineyard; Trump Winery, and Villa Appalaccia Winery.

Food for sale will include breads and cheese, grilled chicken and shrimp, gyros, steak sandwiches, crab cakes, barbeque, salads, pasta, and specialty coffee. Live musical entertainment will run from jazz to bluegrass to folk music. A broad range of Mid-Atlantic area artisans and crafters will sell their wares. Winners of the 3:00 p.m. hat contests will take home a threepack of wine. Categories will include Largest Hat, Smallest Hat, Winey Hat, Beyond Your Basic Ball Cap, Spring

Bonnet, and Kids Hat. Kids will enjoy face painting, a kite-making class (for a nominal fee) and kite-flying contest, and free rides on a barrel train. Wings Over Washington Kite Club will do stunts.

Festival hours will be 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday and 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $25 for adults, but only $5 for teens and designated drivers. Children under 12 will be admitted free. Admission includes a commemorative wine glass, tastings from each winery, and a chance to win a door prize. Wine glasses and tastings come with full adult admission only. Adults will be asked to show proof of age.

Come fall, Montpelier celebrates the birthday of the U.S. Constitution at the Taste of Freedom Wine Festival on Saturday, September 20. Wineries, cider houses, breweries and artisans from across the state will participate.

Guests will be invited to picnic on the grounds, tour the mansion, visit with “James” and “Dolley,” and enjoy live entertainment and special games and activities for children. Four thousand attendees are expected. Ticket prices will be announced.

Monticello Not every wine festival takes place at a UNESCO World Heritage site.

But the Wine Festival at Monticello celebrates Jefferson’s passion for wine

on Saturday, May 10 from 6:00 p.m. to 9: 00 p.m. on the West Lawn of Monticello, with Virginia vintages, live music, and tours of the restored vineyard and wine cellar.

The Wine Festival at Monticello is an adult-only event, limited to ages 21 and over. Reservations are required, and individual tickets are $55. Ticketholders are encouraged to bring blankets for picnicking. Private tables for eight are available for $750 per table, with fruit and cheese, premier seating, VIP parking, a tour of Thomas Jefferson’s wine cellar, and the opportunity to meet winemaker Gabriele Rausse. Each guest at the private tables will receive a commemorative gift.

Massunutten Resort Over in the Shenandoah Valley, the Massunutten Resort in Magaheysville attracts nature lovers and sport enthusiasts to its water park, golf course, and snow slopes, and foodies to its fine dining facilities. On May 24 it will host the ValleyFest Beer and Wine Festival, featuring regional beer and wines, food and crafts, and music. CrossKeys Vineyard, Fincastle Vineyard and Winery, Horton Vineyards, Kilaurwen Vineyard, Mattaponi Winery, Weston Farm Vineyard and Winery, Winchester Ciderworks, and Virginia Wine of the Month Club will pour wine. Domino’s Pizza, Jack Brown’s, Grapevine Restaurant, Kettle Corn, Rainbow Foods,

Sherri’s Crab Cakes, Sweetfire Grill will offer food.

More than 4,000 people are expected to celebrate the holiday weekend at Massanutten. Festival tickets for adults will be $25 April 19 through May 23, and $30 at the gate. Tickets for designated drivers and anyone ages 1121 are $10. Kids 10 will be admitted free. Ticketholders will receive a souvenir wine glass or beer mug while supplies last. No pets or coolers will be allowed, and proper ID may be required.

West Virginia natives, the Christian Lopez Band will play alternative folk and country rock from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The valley’s own Travelin’ Hillbillies will play southern rock infused with bluegrass, rock and roll, folk, blues, and country, and show off their three-part harmonies from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. Baltimore’s The Rollerblades will play 90’s pop covers from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. Baltimore’s seven-piece Rob Byer Band will play country, rock, pop, hip hop and R&B from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Mike Davis will play tunes from the 60s through today In the wine tent, noon to 2:30 p.m., and Chad Hanger will play favorites to sing along to, 2:30 to 5:00 p.m.

Andre Viette The Daylily and Wine Festival at Andre Viette Farm and Nursery in Fishersville will take place against a backdrop of rows and rows of daylilies on

Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20.

Details are yet to be announced, but previous festivals have included crafts, kites, and children’s activities.

Four Key Considerations When dealing with the sale of a house, there are four significant factors to consider whether you are selling or buying: the market, the property, the seller’s requirements, and the buyer’s requirements.

First, are you in a buyer’s or a seller’s market? “Our area is turning into more of a seller’s market because inventory is going down,” says Todd McGee, a REALTOR® with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III in Charlottesville. “But there is still a good opportunity to find a good deal.”

What is the condition of the property? How does it compare to similar properties in the neighborhood? Are there structural defects? Is the title clear? Are there drainage problems, restrictions, or proposed new roads or developments in the area?

It can be difficult to establish the value of the property. Anyone can go online and find pictures of a property, sometimes even an enticing video tour.

But things aren’t always what they appear to be.

“So many national sites—Zillow or Trulia, for example—just aren’t updat-

ed often,” points out McGee. “True market value is more than the number of bedrooms. There are many other considerations like upgrades and school districts and location and what might be conveyed with the property.”

It’s also important to discover what really matters to each party. In some cases, price isn’t the most important factor. Maybe the buyer has “fallen in love” with the house. Perhaps the seller

Sometimes you just have to follow your heart, whether or not you are dealing with a REALTOR®. Several years ago Bridget Arvold and her husband, Orrin, were house hunting because of a move to Charlottesville from Illinois. Their REALTOR® mentioned a

is afraid the buyer will make big changes to a home that’s been cared for over the years. Can the buyers risk losing the deal by making a lower offer? Can the sellers risk losing the deal by declining a lower offer?

Another factor is urgency. For instance, is the seller waiting for a new house to be completed before a moveout date can be set or, on the other hand, need to be in another city for a

In many cases, says McGee, the most important part of a home-sale contract is not so much the price but the terms. “Be sure all the terms and consequences are very clearly spelled out,” he counsels. “So many times there is a contingency, but it has no ‘teeth.’”

All too often, he explains, people don’t consider the “What If?” aspects of a home-sale transaction and they arise almost invariably. For example, what if the house doesn’t meet appraisal or pass inspection? Do the parties renegotiate? Are the buyers released from the contract within 72 hours? What happens to the deposit? What if the sellers don’t move out by the agreed-to date?

In some cases, either the buyer or the seller opts to have a REALTOR® negotiate and facilitate a deal. “This would depend on the real estate agent’s company on a case-by-case basis,” says McGee. He explains that some companies will operate on a fee-for-service basis, but others won’t.

“Getting the experience and insight of a REALTOR® can be worth paying a commission,” he says, noting that having a third party—one who isn’t emotionally involved—can help with negotiations. “A REALTOR® can guide either a buyer or seller through the process,” McGee says. “Using a REALTOR® may help a seller realize enough more for the property to cover the commission or the buyer come away with a lower-than-expected price.” n More than seven years ago, Marilyn Pribus and her husband happened on exactly the Albemarle County house they wanted the very morning the owners had an ad in the paper as a “fisbo.” (For Sale By Owner) They negotiated a win-win deal with the sellers and are living there today.

the interior. “We love your house,” she told the woman. “We will take such good care of it always.”

So one morning, Arvold did some baking.

She showed up at the front door with a stillwarm coffee cake and—voila!—got a tour of

Today, they are living happily in that house.

You can’t always predict the negotiation tactic that will make the difference.

egotiating is an intimidating process for many people, and when the item you’re negotiating for costs as much as a house, it can be truly frightening. This feature includes pointers on getting the best deal whether you are the buyer or the seller.

REALTORS®, of course, have both expertise and experience in their local markets. They have probably viewed many houses that have sold over the past year. They work with other agents and “know” the market.

Sometimes, however, buyers and sellers find each other without a REALTOR® being involved and then it’s a whole different story. When you’re on your own, it’s essential to do your homework.
