Michael Guthrie’s Analysis of the 3rd Quarter Housing Report The headline in The Daily Progress on Wednesday October 10th stated: “Local housing market humming along.”

The question that comes to my mind is, “Is it really?”

A review of the stats in CAAR’s 3rd Quarter Home Sales report shows the good news that homes are selling faster and the median price is up once again However, buried in the report is that pending sales decreased in the 3rd quarter of 2018 vs the same time period in 2017. If that trend continues, look for a not so positive report when the 4th quarter and end of year report is released in January.

Another sign the housing market may be in a correction mode is homes are staying on the market longer than they were six months ago.

All one needs to do is look at active listings in neighborhoods like Rugby Avenue/Rose Hill Drive, off Locust/ Park Street, Greenbrier, Fry Springs and Western Albemarle/Old Trail to see homes that sold right away back in May are not enjoying the same type of activity currently.

While I am sure this was not done purposely, it was interesting to see that the pictures on a WVIR NBC 29 news segment about CAAR’s 3rd Quarter Homes Sales report were of recently sold new homes.

Maybe it is because new construction is a significant factor in home sales. Over the last year, new home sales made up over 20 percent of the area’s home closings.

This puts great pressure on existing homes on the market, especially as you get into the higher price ranges. A case in point is Greene County.

Home sales were up, days on market were down, but median sales price only ticked up a bit (from $240K to $245K). The reason being, builders are very active in Greene keeping pressure on resale home prices.

Speaking of home sales and price increases, the recent housing report shows that Louisa prices increased dramatically. A lot of that has to do with new homes being sold in Spring Creek. I think the increased activity in these areas is due to the higher pric-

es found in Albemarle ($379K) and Charlottesville ($338K). Buyers are having to travel out a bit further to find a home they can afford.

In addition, like Old Trail in Western Albemarle did years ago, Greene and Louisa have added shopping, restaurants, medical facilities, etc so that residents don’t have to travel into Charlottesville for these services making them more of a community instead of a place to live while commuting to work and to enjoy down time.

Another positive sign about the market (not included in the report) is that there was a 63 percent increase (22 to 35) in homes sold over $1 million. They ranged from $1 million to $8.7 million. The higher priced properties have taken the longest time to recover from the 2006-2012 real estate downturn so it is encouraging to see this upward trend.

The most important advice for buyers?

Get yourself prequalified with a respected, local mortgage loan officer.

Once you know what type of loan you qualify for, look for an agent totally committed to finding you the right home in the price range you can afford.

Given the current market, the most important advice for sellers?

Put your house in the best condition possible as you may very well be competing with new construction.

Hire an agent who will give you an honest opinion as to what price will get your home sold and who will negotiate fervently on your behalf.

Looking to the future?

As already noted, because of the cost of homes in the city, Charlottesville will continue to expand outward, especially on the southern side of town. Fifth Street Station has created the amenities needed to encourage more people to live in that area. Louisa, Greene, and Crozet are doing the same. n

Lake Monticello’s Affordable Resort Lifestyle

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER

W

hat do you do if you love all that is Charlottesville, but also want to live close to or on a beautiful body of water?

Or maybe you appreciate the mountains and country living, but find your perfect job in Richmond.

If you can relate, discover the benefits of living at Lake Monticello, a popular and affordable gated community in nearby Fluvanna County with a resort lifestyle accessible to buyers from Millennials purchasing their first home to growing families ready for a larger place, and self-employed professionals.

The Lake also appeals to retirees and others who want an elegant waterfront property where they can dock their boat and enjoy the view.

The water is the biggest draw at Lake Monticello, but the world class golf course is beloved of those who enjoy this sport. Plenty of other activities, such as swimming, tennis and walking, are also popular among families, young professionals, telecommuters and retirees. And just about everyone raves about two other features of this community: its easy going year-round vacation lifestyle and the security of living in one of our areas few gated communities.

Second home buyers who want a relaxing place to unwind from day-to-day stress also seek out Lake Monticello.

Often, once they experience the magic of being at the lake, they decide to sell their other home and enjoy more stress-free living full time.

For those who have jobs in town, Lake Monticello is an easy drive to

both Charlottesville and Richmond.

And homebuyers wanting the best value for their money will be thrilled about home prices at the Lake that compare favorably to those in either Charlottesville or Albemarle County.

Lake Monticello’s Real Estate Market The market is active in Fluvanna County. The recently released third quarter market report from CAAR (Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS®) shows a small year over year increase in the price of detached homes, while attached homes enjoyed a huge (22.1 percent) increase.

Sellers were also pleased about the significant decrease in the median number of days homes stayed on the market indicating buyers are snapping them up quickly.

The County’s total number of sales to date is 251, including 10 lots, reports Vicki Wilson, Principal Broker at Monticello Country REALTORS®.

These figures compare favorably to just 221 sales, including 15 lots, at this time in 2017. There are also 42 homes and/or lots under contract, but not yet closed, indicating a strong year end report.

Wilson added that “new construction is gaining here again,” stating “there are lots available to secure now to build later.” She shared that she and her husband did just that, and are now living in “a brand new home with beach and boat access,” built by custom builder, Taylor Lyn Homes.

Currently buyers can choose from 67 homes and 31 lots for sale in this popular lake community. While that may seem like a lot to choose from, Di-

ane Miller, Associate Broker with Long & Foster – Lake Monticello, explains that any given buyer’s choices are restricted to a narrow price range based on what they can afford and what is suitable for their family. If you look forward to relaxing in a lake home, the time to buy is now before this small inventory shrinks even more.

New construction is an option for buyers unable to find what they want in the resale market, Miller agrees.

“There is building going on at Lake Monticello,” she continued, saying that some builders already own lots and are ready to build while others are checking out what is currently on the market.

While most homes in this community are not right on the water, there are always buyers looking for waterfront properties as soon as they come on the market.

“The buyers for waterfront homes are diverse; some are well into retirement, others retiring in several years, and still others are purchasing a weekend getaway for their growing young families,” explains Patsy Strong Principal Broker at Strong Team REALTORS®. “Interestingly enough, they all purchase here with the idea of enjoying a more relaxed waterfront lifestyle, which they immediately find at Lake Monticello!”

Regardless of whether you want a lot or have plans to build a new home it is a good idea to work with “a seasoned, experienced agent that has new construction experience,” when building your Lake Monticello home, Wilson says.

This is also good advice for those buying resale homes, especially if they have questions concerning issues such as water access, water sports, boat use, and docks.

Lake Monticello’s Many Benefits Back in the 1960s, developers saw a piece of forested property and envisioned a lake surrounded by homes.

The project got off the ground, and soon the Home Owners Association (HOA) took over the community’s management. By the early 1980s, Lake Monticello was a modest 400 lot subdivision.

The original lake grew in size in 1969 when Hurricane Camille brought torrential rains and weakened a nearby dam causing an influx of water from another lake. Today the 350-acre Lake Monticello has 22.5 miles of shoreline and is surrounded by 4,200 homes.

A recent analysis of local real estate trends by Michael Guthrie, CEO and Broker with Roy Wheeler Realty Co., examined the increased real estate activity in areas outside of Charlottesville

City and Albemarle County. “Buyers are having to travel out a bit further to find a home they can afford,” he said.

Lake Monticello with its amenity-rich lifestyle is a great example of this trend. “There is a great opportunity here for first time home buyers or buyers downsizing,” Wilson said.

A quick search of area homes finds several available for under $200 thousand. If you are a first time buyer or a downsizer and this is your price range, call your REALTOR® today as these homes won’t last long.

in the past few years,” Wilson said, adding that “the pub is open to the public and so is Lakeside Restaurant.” In addition, “the new pool is currently being constructed for spring, and the tennis courts are newly finished too. The community has been here for years so having all new and updated facilities is wonderful,” she said.

In the event of a fire or medical emergency, a fire and rescue squad is ready and waiting just outside the gate, and is quick to respond. Tom Morace, Broker with Long & Foster - Lake Monticello,

Once homebuyers settle into their new place at the lake they can enjoy plenty of other benefits along with their lower monthly payments.

The HOA—which all residents must join—provides essential services, and homeowners pay annual dues for amenities such as common ground maintenance, trash pickup and snow removal plus the security gate and a full-time police force.

“The Lake Monticello Homeowners Association continues to make nice improvements here, which are attracting new buyers from all over the country,” Strong said. “The golf course has never looked better, and the summer saw lots of residents enjoying swimming and boating activities,” she concluded.

“There have been a new pub, clubhouse and golf clubhouse renovations

recalled an experience when an ambulance and the EMT arrived within five minutes after his mother slipped on her deck, fell and broke her shoulder.

One snowy winter evening Wilson had a similar emergency that prompted a call to the rescue squad. Help was there within five minutes even though many local roads were closed due to the snow.

The quality of Fluvanna County schools is a critical consideration for families with children who appreciate the high level of parental involvement and the variety of student programs available including special education, gifted and talented education, career and technical education, and alternative education. Thanks to Fluvanna County’s quality schools, the Class of 2018 earned over $1.3 million in scholarships.

Second Homes Popular Lake Monticello is a popular destination for work-weary people who want a place to rest and rejuvenate on long weekends and during vacations.

In fact, many love their second home so much, they choose to live at the Lake full time.

“I have sold several homes in the past couple of years where buyers have bought a second home with plans of retiring in the future. Most of them have taken an early retirement and moved here permanently,” Wilson said. “They fall in love with the lake and the ‘vacation at home’ feeling, so they move sooner rather than later.”

Second home buyers come from all areas, but many appreciate the relatively short trip from Northern Virginia, Maryland and DC. Some also come from the northeast.

Lake residents enjoy high speed internet service, which is attractive to home owners who are self employed, telecommuters or who work from home at least part of the time. Not only can they enjoy the beautiful views from their home office, they can also look forward to a boat ride or a leisurely walk around the Lake when they take a break. No wonder so many decide to sell their other house and work at the Lake full time.

“I have seen it over and over again,” Strong said. “Buyers purchase a waterfront home for weekend use, then they start extending their weekends and working there on Fridays and Mondays. Eventually I run into them in the middle of the week and they confide they have made the move to the water permanent.”

Lake Monticello Buyers The Lake’s original developers found buyers in New York and other northern cities explains Keith Smith with Roy Wheeler Realty Co. – Charlottesville. At that time, he and his wife Yonna, also a REALTOR®, lived in New York City and were enticed by a $150 incentive to

come experience Lake Monticello. They fell in love with the area and the lake, bought a lot and relocated.

They soon realized their lot was overpriced, but encouraged Smith’s father to join them in their resort lifestyle. He in turn invited some of his friends who also settled there after seeing the beauty of an area that is such a pleasant contrast to New York City.

The trend of lake residents encouraging family and friends to join them continues today.

“One of the most interesting things we see is people who move here and enjoy it so much they end up getting family members and friends to join them,” Strong said.

Today buyers still come to Lake Monticello from the northeast and from Northern Virginia. They come for the “low home and land prices, the proximity to Charlottesville and Richmond and the community activities and involvement. Many of my clients get involved in the volunteer opportunities within Lake Monticello and Fluvanna County once they are here,” Wilson said.

If you love the idea of living where you can enjoy a 12-month vacation, plus take part in the many opportunities Charlottesville has to offer, call your agent today. You’ll be experiencing a comfortable resort lifestyle before you know it.

Youth Sports

Close-In Fluvanna is Charming and Affordable

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

W

hen Eric Dahl, his wife, Jill, and their sons moved north from Florida, it’s no coincidence they bought a home at Lake Monticello where his two brothers already lived. Dahl is now Fluvanna’s Deputy County Administrator/Finance Director.

“Jill and I really like the nature aspects of Fluvanna rather than the hustle and bustle of a city,” he says. “That’s why we moved from Tampa—for a little slower pace and more seasons around us.”

He particularly cites the outdoor opportunities. “We like hiking and biking, both locally and in the mountains and also water activities like kayaking on the Rivanna River.” They also appreciate being close to Charlottesville where Jill works.

Vicki Wilson, Principal Broker and co-owner of Monticello Country REALTORS®, isn’t surprised the Dahl family chose Fluvanna.

“People often move here because someone they know already lives here,” she comments. In fact, she says she and her husband settled in Fluvanna after visiting her parents here many times.

The school system was also important to them and she points out the nearly new high school is state of the art.

“Affordability is a main attraction in Fluvanna,” she continues. “There are many choices for first-time homebuyers under $200,000. We are also diverse—there are young people through retirees here.”

Another factor, she says, is that Fluvanna is a reasonable commute to both Charlottesville and Richmond. When they first moved here, in fact, Wilson worked locally, while her husband worked in Short Pump.

The Past and the Present Fluvanna County dates back to 1777 as part of Henrico, then Goochland, then Albemarle Counties. It celebrates its history with nearly 20 National Historical Landmarks from the Courthouse in Palmyra to the slate-roofed Seay’s Chapel Methodist Church built at the turn of the last century.

The 1854 Pleasant Grove House is another National Historical Landmark. Now the centerpiece of Pleasant Grove Park, it was once part of a plantation growing tobacco and other produce that were shipped to Richmond on the Rivanna River.

Today the house is the County Museum and Welcome Center where visitors may tour the historic dwelling and browse exhibit galleries on weekdays

from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from noon to 4 p.m. on weekends. Admission is free.

The park itself is a generous triangle of land adjacent to Fluvanna High School and roughly bounded by Route 53 on the west and the Rivanna River on the east.

About 25 years ago, the county purchased close to 1,000 acres of farm land and eventually the Fluvanna Heritage Trail Foundation was formed. Today the Foundation—along with the Parks and Recreation Department—has created 22 miles of trails starring river habitat, wildflowers, grassy fields and woodlands.

For example, visitors on the Tree Identification Trail can learn the names of many native trees. A Natural Experience is a downloadable guide (from the County website) to various trails in the park.

Park visitors also enjoy the butterfly garden, and picnic shelters may be rented or used on a first-come, first-served basis when not reserved. There is also a community garden at the park with close to 100 individual plots that may be rented by the year and have public access to water.

The Dog Park is also popular, says Dahl who often visits to give the family pooch some off-leash exercise. “There are three different gated areas,” he ex-

A number of sports leagues serve Fluvanna youth including softball, baseball, basketball, soccer and aquatic teams. The Carysbrook Sports Complex on Route 15 between Palmyra and Fork Union hosts a variety of recreational venues. There’s a playground plus softball, soccer, and baseball fields for youth activities. An indoor gym hosts basketball, pickleball and volleyball.

When not scheduled for league use, both indoor and outdoor facilities are open to the public. The hours vary by season.

Seniors Love Fluvanna “There is a huge senior community with lots of support here in Fluvanna,” says Wilson who’s been a Meals on Wheels volunteer since its inception in the county some ten years ago. “We have eight routes,” she says, “and Friday is my day.”

Indeed, folks find this a great place to retire. The county’s Senior Programs have activities—many free—for those 55 and older including charitable projects, exercise programs, guest speakers and community forums. One example is JABA (Jefferson Area Board on Aging) that operates once-weekly programs including lunch and doings at four locations in the county.

In addition, JAUNT serves Fluvanna with a circular route within the County and a commuter route with stops between Fork Union and Charlottesville and urban Albemarle County. Trips are discounted for seniors and persons with disabilities.

Et Cetera Wilson points out that as the county’s population grows modestly, there are an increasing number of restaurants, groceries, and other businesses people want to have handy. Nearby wineries are also popular.
