Booming South Side Market Energized by 5th Street Station

JANUARY 24 - JANUARY 30. 2018 ISSUE 2704

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER

O

ne of the most exciting real estate markets in Charlottesville is the area south of downtown near the new 5th Street Station. Until recently, this region’s popularity was hampered by residents’ concerns about the need travel to 29 North or to nearby localities like Waynesboro or Zion Crossroads to shop or find essential services.

All of that changed with the opening of 5th Street Station and its anchor tenant, the upscale grocery store, Wegmans. No longer do south side dwellers need to put up with traffic or go out of their way to avoid it. Instead they can buy groceries, enjoy restaurants, a theatre, sporting goods stores, essential medical care and much, much more all in one location just minutes from home. Combine this with easy access to Interstate 64 and a location within three miles of downtown and you have a formula for success.

This success is reflected in the opening of several popular new home communities—where sales have been impressive even during December—and in

house hunting, increasing competition for the already limited number of resale listings in these desirable communities.

What Home Buyers Want

the rapidly rising prices and lack of inventory in established neighborhoods such as Mill Creek and Redfields. Both of these communities (and others nearby) have always had their followings but are now more popular than ever.

This means buyers who love the idea of living near 5th Street Station, should talk to their agents about options that include new and resale homes as well

as everything from townhomes, to attached homes, to single family residences in a range of prices from affordable to upscale. And if this is you, don’t wait.

Even before Wegmans this area was a favorite of medical residents and when March rolls around and they receive confirmation of their upcoming postings, those moving here will be out

For many Charlottesville home buyers, seeing the mountains and living close-in to jobs and the amenities of town and the University rank high on the list of what brings them to our area and keeps them here. And the south side of town is an area where all of that is possible.

“Early on families were drawn by a desire to put their kids in County schools,” said Tom Raney with Nest Realty Group, and some of the early, large, south-side developments like Redfields and Mill Creek featured midrange price points as starter homes to attract families with kids.

Other south side families appreciated the nearness of private schools such as Tandem Friends School, serving children in Grades 5 through 12, and The Covenant School for Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 students.

This part of town is also desirable for other reasons. Buyers, frustrated by rising prices, and the need to do extensive renovations on older homes in close-in

South Side Real Estate Market Back when the area south of downtown, and especially the part south of the interstate, was less developed, there weren’t a lot amenities except the open country and some terrific views.

It wasn’t until Albemarle County noticed that major developments elsewhere like Waynesboro and Zion Crossroads were attracting Charlottesville-area shoppers and siphoning off retail traffic that County Supervisors decided to address the issue, Raney said. Providing incentives for growth, including approval of 5th Street Station on the south end of town, were key to opening up the area to development, and the market has responded.

“The market is just incredible,” Kehoe said who believes that 5th Street Station has “increased values tremendously.” She cited her own house in the Courtyard Section of Redfields, where “everything is taken care of from mowing the yard to snow removal from the walk and the drive.” HOA fees for that section also cover exterior mainte-

There is a real “buzz” on the south side of the County that has led to the development of a number of subdivisions like Oak Hill Farm and Whittington.

neighborhoods like Belmont and Fry Springs, are beginning to recognize that areas south of town also fall into the magic three-mile radius of downtown and have much to offer, especially now that 5th Street Station is open.

Yonna Smith with Roy Wheeler Realty Co., described the area south of town as one that had been “percolating for awhile.” When Wegmans arrived, though, it “took the lid off,” she said stating that a combination of the location near downtown, scarce inventory and low interest rates combined to create “the perfect storm.”

Of course, Smith said, Charlottesville’s reputation “is amazing,” and often brings former students back to the area. Recently she worked with two different clients who couldn’t wait to return and both chose to live in one of the south side neighborhoods. One is a retired physician who graduated from Medical School here and the other a couple from New York who did undergraduate work at UVA and had long wanted to return.

355 W Rio Rd Charlottesville Va

The area has “a rural community feel to it, but it’s close to all the major amenities,” said Robert Russo, with Nest Realty Group, who has sold many homes in Redfields since it first opened in 2006. He emphasized the importance of the area’s proximity to UVA and the Medical Center, which is perhaps why he sees lots of professors as well as law and med students moving there.

Of course those commuting elsewhere appreciate the area’s quick access to Interstate 64 when they need to head either east or west. John Updike with Roy Wheeler Realty Co. described a recent client who chose Redfields because of its nearness to his main office at Boar’s Head and his need to go often to Richmond for meetings and appointments.

Karen Kehoe with RE/MAX Regency, who lives in Redfields, said “I love being seven minutes from two hospitals. As we get older it can be life or death getting to a hospital quickly. I love the easy access anywhere just off the interstate and love the 5th Street Station with everything you’d need including medical and eye care and even Krispy Kreme all just five minutes away.”

nance except the roof and trim. In the time she has lived there the value of her home has increased from $290 thousand to $375 thousand.

Smith concurs describing a “very busy market.” People are moving in from multiple locations she said, both locally and from out of town. Many that have been watching the downtown market are not prepared to pay a lot for a home and then put out even more to renovate it to meet their needs. These folks are now looking south, impressed by the nearness of 5th Street Station.

She refers to the center’s impact as “the Wegmans phenomenon.”

Changes to the area have had a big impact on the price of resales, Raney agreed. Some homes in established neighborhoods like Mill Creek that were selling for $240 thousand back in 2010 are now on the market for $349 thousand. This rapid increase in prices has drawn investors who come in, renovate and flip homes for a profit, he continued.

There is a real “buzz” on the south side of the County that has led to the development of a number of subdivisions, Russo said. He described both

South Side Buyers Established neighborhoods like Redfields and Mill Creek have always

been mixed, Raney said, attracting a combination of singles, young families, and retirees in a wide range of ages.

The neighborhoods are also characterized by a community orientation.

Many of the downsizers come from outside of the area, often to settle near their grandchildren, and appreciate that most of the models are built on one level or have a first-floor master suite, he added.

The higher priced neighborhoods like Whittington, on the other hand, attract professionals who are moving up and have young families, as well as those who have lived in their last home for a long time, have a lot of equity and enjoy building a new, last home before they retire, Raney continued.

Russo described the new construction buyers as well-off professionals who work at the University or at one of

Call Your Agent If the south side of town sounds like a good bet, contact your agent today. If resale is what you want be prepared to make your move quickly since, when these homes come on the market, they will not be available long.

This means the lucky buyers will have sold their previous home and have cash or a strong pre-qualification letter in hand. Your agent will also be an essential partner if what you want is to start from scratch and build a new home.

property that is open daily.

“Just recently, Sunset Overlook launched sales adjacent to Oak Hill Farm and they have had 16 sales of attached and detached homes,” Slater said. “Average [prices there are] $344 thousand.

“What is very telling, though, is that 13 of those sales happened in December. This is remarkable and tells me there was plenty of pent up demand and many of those buyers chose to contract to build now instead of waiting to see what is coming in this year’s resale market,” Slater concluded.

Sunset Overlook is also notable for having townhomes in the mid $200 thousands making them accessible to first time buyers.

the multi-national corporations that have local offices. A fair amount of them are move-up buyers who just sold a $350-$400 thousand home and are ready to move to one in the $550-$700 thousand range.

“We’re seeing young families buying their first or second home because they need more space as well as those looking to downsize or simply get all on one level,” Southmayd said about Oak Hill Farm where homes start in the $500 thousands and average in the low $600 thousands.

“The location seems to attract buyers from many different walks of life and we’re happy to customize a home to fit each of their needs,” he added.

FEATURE

Oak Hill Farm and Whittington as two of them that are “very popular.”

Whittington was one of the first neighborhoods to benefit from the growing popularity of south side locations, Raney said, and it “took off from the beginning.”

Featuring “gorgeous views and ... countless miles of wooded walking trails” Whittington, where home prices range from the low $600 thousands to just over $1 million remains popular, and as of January, 2018, had 31 pending sales (those awaiting closing), Kehoe explained.

Oak Hill Farm is a newer and very popular choice as well. “Marketing launched in late 2016 but before roads and infrastructure had even started,” said Greg Slater with Nest Realty Group. Remarkably, “sales started before buyers would even know when they could have their home or drive to their lot. In 2017, 38 homes sold with an average price of $633 thousand. Just 14 of them have actually been completed and closed,” he emphasized.

Nest Realty’s T.J. Southmayd, Craig Builders Customer Representative at Oak Hill Farm is also enthusiastic about sales stating: “Due to high demand, we’ve sold close to half of our home sites before even finishing the model home,” a farm house themed

emember that old song, “Don’t it always seem to go, you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone?” It’s that way with electricity, that invisible, but essential service in today’s home.

Hurricanes in summer, ice storms in winter and heavy winds any time can interrupt service. Often lines are repaired promptly, but a major weather event may leave you without power for several days or more.

Sans electricity, you can’t use a cordless phone to call the power company.

Depending on the season, the pipes can freeze or the freezer can thaw. The laptop and cell phone and iPad can’t be recharged. If you’re dependent on a well, you’re without water. Critical medical devices, security systems, invisible fences, and garage door openers all need electricity.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR

Stormy Weather

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

HOUSE & HOME

Be Prepared Always have basic equipment including a good stash of batteries in various sizes for flashlights, radios, and other electronics. Rotate them so they are always fresh. Candles work for light, of course, but can be a fire hazard, especially if you have children or active pets.

Stay charged. If bad weather is forecast, double check that your electronics are fully charged. Have a cell-phone charger that operates off your car’s battery. Invest in at least one portable “juice-pack” that can recharge electronic devices (and keep them charged-up and available). Most of these portable power sources also serve as flashlights.

In really severe weather, cell towers may be without power. If you still have a landline, keep one phone that plugs directly into the wall because cordless units generally require electricity.

If your power goes out, first check to see if it’s out in your entire neighborhood. Program your power provider’s emergency number into your phone right now. When you call and provide your address, you can often learn whether your power will be restored in three hours or three days.

Secure your fridge and freezer doors to remind you not to open them absent-mindedly. (If you keep them shut, most units will keep food safely cool for as long as two days.)

To prevent damage from either very low power or a power surge, throw the circuit breakers or unplug applianc-

es such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, TVs, computers and such. Leave a light—or a small radio—turned on to let you know when power is restored.

In our recent frigid weather, some homeowners had frozen pipes. Running just a small trickle of water through pipes can usually prevent this.

If you do have frozen pipes, be safe in trying to warm them. Hair dryer, yes.

Blowtorch, no.

Camping at Home If you are a camper, you probably already have a propane lantern, stove,

and other supplies. If the heat’s off in winter, haul out the sleeping bags. To make things an adventure, set up a tent for the kids. But remember: only use camp stoves, hibachis, or charcoal grills outdoors because of the very real danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Glow sticks are dandy. Just snap them for low-level but usable lighting for up to 12 hours in hallways or bathrooms. If you have solar lights by your sidewalk or driveway, you can bring them in at night (if they’re not buried under snow, of course).They will re-

charge outdoors in daylight, even without direct sun.

There are also high intensity 30-minute chemical lights available. They are safe and cool to the touch, but they do expire, so check dates periodically.

Place any light—propane lantern, flashlight, candle, or glow stick—next to a mirror to increase illumination.

Back-up Generators Utility companies have a priority protocol for power restoration. If a single repair will light up a nursing home, an apartment complex, or an entire subdivision, it will be performed ahead of one that brings only a few houses back on line. This means a generator may be a sensible option for some folks.

Many people choose portable generators that can support essential circuits such as those supporting medical devices, well pumps, HVAC units, and refrigerators. These must be started by the individual and must never be used in a garage or other enclosed (or even semi-enclosed) area.

Other people opt for automatic back-up generators. Local contractors and businesses can install these to individual specifications. While some generators can power the whole house, most people opt for including essential circuits only. After all, you don’t need to worry about your washer, dryer, or dishwasher for a day or two.

These automatic generators switch on as soon as the system detects a problem with power from the utility company, often with an interruption of only a few seconds. Depending on the system, these generators often will automatically switch off when the utility company’s power is restored at a safe and constant level.

Generators are typically installed near a home AC unit and electric service panel. Fuel sources are generally natural gas, propane or diesel. If you already have gas or propane, that’s the logical way to go, otherwise diesel is an economical choice and diesel generators may have a longer life span and require less maintenance. Fuel tanks for propane or diesel can be installed or buried inconspicuously.

So don’t put off preparations for bad weather problems. They may not happen, but if they do, you’ll be glad you did. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle. They once had a refrigerator burn out when power was lower than standard for a period of time before being fully restored.

Hurricanes in summer, ice storms in winter, or heavy winds any time can interrupt service.
