Tommy Brannock Receives Good Neighbor Award

What’s Happening Around Town? The Virginia Association of REALTORS® named Charlottesville, Virginia Realtor Pat Jensen, the 2013 Realtor of the Year award. The announcement was made at VAR’s annual convention on Thursday, October 3rd in Virginia Beach. 2012 VAR Realtor of the Year, Cindy Stackhouse, presented the honor and said, “Pat is passionate not only about the real estate industry, but about her customers and fellow Realtors, and is one of the most dedicated volunteers for the entire organization.” The Realtor of the Year is the highest honor awarded by the Virginia Association of Realtors®. It is awarded to outstanding real estate professionals who have made proven contributions to the real estate industry through both personal and professional achievement and outstanding volunteerism. Pat is the only person in the history of the Charlottesville Association of REALTORS® to be named Rookie of the Year, Sales Person of the Year, Realtor of the Year, and to have received its annual ethics award.

Loaves & Fishes Exceeds One Million Pounds of Food Distributed

The Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS ® (CAAR), the voice of real estate in the Central Virginia region, has announced Tommy Brannock as a Good Neighbor Award recipient. This recognition program highlights local REALTORS® who dedicate significant time and interest to projects that make a lasting impact on our communities. “We are greatly appreciative of Tommy’s commitment to raising awareness and funds for several local charities. His passion for volunteering is a reflection of the REALTOR® community’s desire to give back,” Denise Ramey, GRI, CAAR president and director of relocation at Roy Wheeler Realty, said. Brannock realized early on what a special organization the Virginia Institute of Autism is and how it has saved many children and families across the Commonwealth. For 15 of VIA’s 18 years in operation, he has been an integral force in establishing a financially sound organization that serves a great purpose.

No celebratory banners were hung and no glasses were raised to toast an important milestone reached by Charlottesville’s Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry last week. The non-profit, which serves over 5,000 Charlottesville area clients monthly, topped the “one million pounds distributed” mark, distributing over 1.1 million pounds of food over the past four quarters. About onethird of the food pantry’s volume is either fresh produce or dairy and frozen meat, a level of fresh and frozen food that no local food pantries can claim. Executive Director Margaret Burruss commented on what surpassing the million pound level means: “Regrettably, it’s a sign of the continuing need that clearly exists in our community. Food insecurity is a sad reality in Charlottesville. This need will likely grow as we approach Thanksgiving and Christmas. Just as real, however, is the commitment Loaves & Fishes has to address food insecurity in our area.” Burruss continued saying “the only comfort we take from reaching the million pound mark is that it’s a clear sign that our donors, community partners and volunteers continue to play a significant role in reducing food insecurity here.”

Underlying the rapid increase in the number of pounds distributed over the past four quarters is a 35 percent increase in the number of clients served from month to month. In the quarter just completed in September, 5043 clients were served on average each month; a year ago, that number was 3737. The organization has experienced growing demand for food in the community all year long and recently expanded its distribution schedule to better serve its clients. According to Burruss, “We added a fourth day to our schedule in early September. Now, our facility at 370-E Greenbrier Drive is not only open on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings but we’re also serving clients on Wednesdays from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Based on our Wednesday traffic so far, our clients like the additional flexibility, the shorter wait times, and another option to visit us during daylight hours.” Adding a new day to the schedule creates a different kind of need, namely the need for more volunteer time. “We’re an organization of neighbors nourishing neighbors,” said Burruss, “and we welcome more people to get involved in our organization. We need volunteers on all four of our shifts.” Those interested in volunteering at Loaves & Fishes should contact the organization at volunteers@cvilleloavesandfishes.org or call 434-996-7868. Literacy Volunteers Needed Literacy Volunteers of Charlottesville / Albemarle are seeking compassionate and enthusiastic volunteers to tutor adults in reading, writing, or speaking English. Students come from a variety of backgrounds, and are hoping to acquire the skills they need to independently pursue life goals, support their families, and contribute to their communities. Help them achieve their goals by calling 434-9773838 to register for the New Tutor Training on Saturday, November 9, 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Train now, so you can start tutoring after the holidays. No teaching experience is necessary—only a desire to make a difference in someone else’s life. Learn more at www.literacyforall.org.

“VIA has been so fortunate to have Tommy Brannock as one of our leaders and volunteers for more than a decade,” Ethan Long, executive director of Virginia Institute of Autism, said. “Tommy served on our board of directors, helped us find our school building and spearheaded the campaign to raise the money needed to purchase it. He leaves behind a wonderful legacy in the Golden Stick award used to engage the lacrosse community and make our 5K a wonderful annual fundraiser for the organization.” From two terms each as president and vice president of the board to co-chairing the first-ever capital campaign and participating on the finance committee, Brannock consistently spends 120 hours each year on VIA activities. In addition he recruits other volunteers to donate another 24 hours each year. “I have loved my association with VIA and am so impressed with the folks who give their all to make a difference in this needy segment of our population,” Brannock said. Brannock has been a CAAR member since 1981. A $100 donation was made to Virginia Institute of Autism in his name.

CAAR Third Quarter 2013 Market Report shows 25.9% year-over-year increase in overall sales.

Charlottesville Area 3rd Quarter 2013 Highlights • Overall sales in Greater Charlottesville were up 25.9% over the same quarter last year and represented the highest 3rd Quarter sales total since 2007. • The median sales price of $267,612 in the 3rd Quarter was up 11.6% from Q3-2012, the highest year-over-year price gain of any quarter since 2007. • Half of the homes sold in Q3-2013 were on the market 46 days or fewer, representing a 24-day improvement over the median days on market (DOM), down from 70 days in the same quarter last year.

Market Overview Home sales in the Charlottesville area experienced significant gains in the third quarter, with 175 more homes sold than the same quarter last year. The 850 sales represented a 25.9% increase over the 675 sales in Q3-2012 and the highest Q3 sales tally since 2007. This sales increase coupled with a 2.1% increase in the average sales price compared to Q3-2012 resulted in a 28.5% increase in sold dollar volume (+$60.4M) to $271,948,829. This is the highest sold dollar volume level for any quarter since Q3-2008. All six jurisdictions in the Charlottesville area experienced double-digit percent sales increases over their respective Q3-2012 levels. Home sales in Nelson County (+62.2% or 28 more sales) and Louisa (+48.7% or 19 sales) represented the highest year-

over-year percent gains. Greene (+22%) and Fluvanna (+12.9%) each had 11 more sales than in the same quarter last year. Albemarle had 83 more units sold than Q3-2012 (+25.2%) while Charlottesville had 23 more sales than last year (+18.1%).

While the median sales price is 2.1% lower than the second quarter’s $273,200 mark, this modest decrease is in line with normal seasonal patterns for the region. The average amount of original list price received at time of sale was unchanged from last quarter at 94.2%, but is up 3 full points from

There were 1,180 new listings added in the quarter, 17.2% more than were added in Q3-2012, the highest year-overyear increase in listing activity since Q2-2006. the 91.2% level in Q3-2012. “Sellers are happy to see the consistent sale price increases each quarter in the majority of our market area.

Market Share by Bank-Mediated Status The 102 new foreclosure listings were 27.5% more than the 80 listed in the same period last year and the highest quarterly total since 2010. There were 38.1% fewer new short sales added than last year with only 26 new listings during the quarter.

Third Quarter 2013 Home Sales

There were 1,180 new listings added in the quarter, 17.2% more than were added in Q3-2012, the highest year-over-year increase in listing activity since Q2-2006. This was the fourth consecutive quarter with increased listing activity compared with the previous year. Notably, after 8 consecutive quarters with year-over-year declines in the number of foreclosures listed, there were 22 more foreclosures newly listed than Q3-2012. The 102 new foreclosure listings were 27.5% more than the 80 listed in the same period last year and the highest quarterly total since 2010. There were 38.1% fewer new short sales added than last year with only 26 new listings during the quarter. Because of the jump in non-distressed listing activity, only 10.8% of new listings were short sales or foreclosures – lower than the 12.1% share in Q3-2012. “As our market returns to more normal parameters, fewer distressed properties are coloring our data. Appraisals, market analysis reports and the consumer perspective of our market have brought us back to center so it is no longer necessary to refer back to pre-recession conditions,” says CAAR 2013 President-Elect John Ince.

FALL in Virginia BY JOANNE DIMAGGIO

County has the Peaks of Otter Lodge and plenty of spectacular scenery. The southern portion of the Appalachian Trail travels westerly through the George Washington and Jefferson National Forest. Key sites include Big Walker Lookout, a 100-foot tower to

view scenery; Mount Rogers National Recreation Area offering many campgrounds; Mount Rogers, the highest peak in Virginia; and the Mount Rogers Scenic Byway. A gradual change in foliage conditions can be seen in the western part

Appalachian Trail Virginia is home to one fourth (544 miles) of the Appalachian Trail—more than any other state. One hundred and one of those miles lie in Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive. The central portion of the Appalachian Trail follows the Blue Ridge Parkway to Roanoke. Key sites along the way include George Washington and Jefferson National Forest in Bedford County. Peaks of Otter in Bedford

Each season is special in Virginia, but the time of year everyone looks forward to the most is the fall. That’s because there’s so much to do—all amid the splendor of Virginia’s fabulous fall foliage.

of the state, generally at higher elevations, with a lower percentage of fall color at the lower elevations. Patchy color changes exist among tree species such as poplars, sweet gum, dogwood and maple. At this time, peak colors are expected in the mountains during mid to late October; the Piedmont and Coastal Plain are expected to peak between late October and mid-November. Weekly fall foliage reports are available at www. virginia.org/Fall or by calling 1-800424-LOVE.

Shenandoah National Park Shenandoah National Park is a unique mountaintop destination with immense views. Considered one of the most beautiful places in the world, the park has 500 miles of trails, including 100 miles of the Appalachian Trail and covers the crest of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains for over 75 miles. The Park expands into eight counties, including Albemarle, Augusta, Greene, Madison, Page, Rappahannock, Rockingham and Warren. For those who want to spend the night, camping is available.

During the fall, Virginia farms are turned into playgrounds with apple picking, harvest festivals, corn mazes, and hay rides through pumpkin patches. Winemakers celebrate the harvest during October Virginia Wine Month. And Virginia’s scenic roadways show off the striking natural beauty along the way. With over 15 million acres of foliage, 2,500 miles of scenic drives, fall weather that’s both crisp and gentle— it’s no wonder that Virginia is a popular autumn destination. While there are many views worth noting, some of the most spectacular are along the Appalachian Trail, the Shenandoah National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Skyline Drive.

Lodge fill the needs of visitors who don’t want to rough it. Full-service restaurants are at Skyland and Big Meadows plus there are “waysides” with lighter food. Due to the park’s size and its varying degrees of elevations, the National Park Service says it is impossible to pick a “peak date” for the entire park. Based on past years, however, the colors of fall are predictably at their most brilliant right about now.

of colorful forests, farmlands and orchards on either side.

Blue Ridge Parkway

Four entrances in the Shenandoah National Park allow visitors to experience the Skyline Drive, a National Scenic Byway that runs 105 miles along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, starting in the north of the Shenandoah Valley at Front Royal to Waynesboro, where it meets the Blue Ridge Parkway. The drive is open to RVs and camping trailers, but they must be able to clear Marys Rock Tunnel, which is 12 feet, 8 inches high, near the Thornton Gap entrance at Rt. 211.

The entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway begins at Rockfish Gap and follows a similar path as Skyline Drive along ridge tops. The Parkway was conceived and designed as a scenic motor road and conservator of the natural and historical treasures of the Blue Ridge. Today, it is the most visited site in the National Park system. Like the Skyline Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway was built in the 1930s in the midst of the Depression as a public works project. It took more than a half-century to complete and became the nation’s first and longest rural parkway, connecting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. Known as “America’s Favorite Drive” the Blue Ridge Parkway winds through 29 counties and 469 miles of mountain meadows with endless vistas of mountains and valleys.

Over two million people visit the Skyline Drive each year. Since fall is the most popular time to travel, expect a lot of fellow travelers on the highway. There’s nothing fast paced about the Skyline Drive where the speed limit is only 35mph and is strictly enforced. Expect a non-stop drive to last at least three hours on a clear day. Traveling from one of the four entrances to the next exit takes about an hour, so plan on doing as many as your schedule allows. If you plan on taking photos or just want to get out and stretch your legs, there are 75 overlooks on to the Blue Ridge where you can take in the beauty

There is no end to the history lessons the Parkway provides, for it encompasses some of the oldest settlements of both pre-historic and early European settlement. For visitors who appreciate the area’s history there are overlook signs that trace much of the history of Appalachian culture, as do visitor center exhibits, restored historic structures, and developed areas, all of which reveal points of particular interest. The Blue Ridge Parkway is very much a “drive awhile and stop awhile” experience. The Parkway was designed for leisurely motoring, so speed limits do not exceed 45mph. Visitors are encouraged to take their time to enjoy

be very rewarding, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Longer trails are also available for the more adventurous. Interpretive signs carrying the squirrel gun and powder horn symbol are at many overlooks and historic sites along the parkway, as are numbered mileposts. The zero milepost marker is at Rockfish Gap, immediately south of Shenandoah National Park, and each mile is numbered progressively southward on the Parkway. Most Parkway facilities are “Wheelchair Useable.” Some facilities have minor slope and/or structural barriers. Gasoline is not available on the Parkway, but is available not far off the Parkway at many highway intersections Rangers and volunteers present a variety of interpretive programs through October. These are given on weekends and occasionally on weekdays. Activities include campfire talks, music and history demonstrations, nature walks and slide presentations. Schedules are posted at visitor centers, campground entrances and Parkway concessions. Something else to consider is that Virginia is the only state through which both national bicycle routes, U.S. 1 and U.S. 76, pass. There are 838 miles of the two routes in Virginia, making it one of the favorite destinations of bicyclists.

nvironment ally friendly “green” buildings are important to our future—on an individual basis and worldwide—and EarthCraft homes are all about being green. They require less maintenance over time and generally have heating and cooling costs at least one-third lower than a standard house. In addition, builders are committed to reducing the negative effects of construction on the environment. “EarthCraft certification adds appreciable value to a home,” declares REALTOR ® Sara Greenfield, owner of Charlottesville Fine Homes and Properties. “It’s the best thing we have in our area toward sustainability and environmental awareness. We’re not only saving money for our own homes through improved energy efficiency and home performance, we’re having a positive effect on the entire community.” The EarthCraft concept was created in 1999 in Atlanta. Five years later, a group of concerned Virginia businesses and government groups was seeking a “green” building program. After much time and evaluation, they select-

EarthcraftCertified Homes

ed the EarthCraft concept as the best design to address the climatic factors of the commonwealth while introducing green ideas to the homebuilding industry in a way that could be easily integrated into the building process. Soon after that, an initial “EarthCraft Parade of Homes” in Charlottesville displayed six EarthCraft-certified homes. It was an overwhelming success and provided impetus to expand the program across Virginia. In fact, EarthCraft Virginia has evolved into one of the largest regional green-building programs in the nation and continues to grow and pro-

vide a more sustainable future for all. In addition to the many private contracts who have adopted EarthCraft standards, a partnership has been formed between the Virginia Housing Development Authority and Habitat for Humanity to introduce sustainable development to low-income affordable housing. EarthCraft isn’t a brand, but rather the concept behind a home or other building that fulfills certain certification requirements including site planning, low-impact construction techniques and materials, and energy efficiency. Locally, about twenty member companies of the Blue Ridge Home Builders Association (BRHBA)

are qualified to build such homes. In fact, many EarthCraft-certified homes were featured at BRHBA’s recent Parade of Homes. “EarthCraft-certified buildings have high energy efficiency, water conservation, a great insulation package, quality windows and doors, and an HVAC system with fresh-air intake,” explains Troy Yancey, Vice President of the BRHBA and owner of T.E.A.L. Construction. “We take the green certification very seriously and respect what it stands for.” He points out that the first EarthCraft light commercial project to be certified north of Atlanta is the Triple C Camp—a popular day camp located off Scottsville Road about five miles south of I-64.

EarthCraft isn’t a brand, but rather the concept behind a home or other building that fulfills certain certification requirements including site planning, low-impact construction techniques and materials, and energy efficiency.

Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville. Their home is pre-EarthCraft, but if they ever move, they know what to look for.

You have many small reasons to care about the air quality in your home.

COMMUNITY

Benefits include lower utility costs, better indoor air quality, less home maintenance needed and higher resale value. Real estate professionals who sell EarthCraft benefit because the certification appeals to cost-conscious buyers who are concerned for the health of their families and the environment as a whole. On average, EarthCraft-certified projects are on the market for shorter periods and sell for a higher percentage of their list price than conventionally built homes. EarthCraft homes don’t look different from conventional houses because the building materials, sealing techniques, and minor modifications in construction all disappear inside the walls as the house is completed. The homes generally cost three to five percent more, but buyers often find the savings on utility bills offsets the extra monthly mortgage payment. In fact, some lenders are starting to offer favorable mortgages on green homes. Even a few years ago, many people did not know about the EarthCraft concept, but now more and more homebuyers are asking, “Is this an EarthCraft-certified home?” n

CAAR

EarthCraft also certifies multi-family homes and home renovations. The BRHBA members who are EarthCraft qualified have undertaken training on the values and elements that make an EarthCraft home more environmentally friendly than a conventionally built house. To be certified as an EarthCraft home, a house must pass criteria in a variety of categories and have an EarthCraft inspector—who is independent of both the builder and the homebuyer—work with the builder throughout construction, making sure the high standards are met. For example, a pre-drywall inspection is required. Once construction is complete, a final inspection ensures that the new home will deliver the 30-50 percent greater energy efficiency that is the EarthCraft goal. This third-party verification results in a certificate of approval given to the builder that can be passed on to the new owner. Every single EarthCraft house goes through that process. That final EarthCraft certification announces that a building has been designed to suit the unique climate conditions of the Southeast. EarthCraft projects are built for energy, water and resource efficiency, durability, and enhanced indoor air quality—important ingredients for a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.

In an EarthCraft home, you can breathe easy.

All Southern Development Homes feature fresh-air ventilation systems and media filters designed to filter out mold, pollen, dust mites, and other airborne health issues, ensuring you breathe fresh air every day. We also use low VOC paints, formaldehyde free laminates, green-rated carpet & padding, giving you better indoor air quality.
