here is good news in the residential new construction market, which after several very slow years is finally turning around.

Builders and their agents are happy about the increased demand for their product and optimistic about their prospects in 2014.

There are a number of factors driving the turn around, including continuing low interest rates, price reductions and an overall improvement in economic conditions. Regardless, the news is good. A recent article at Bloomberg.com reported that in November of 2013, builders started more homes than they had at any time in the last five years, and the percentage increase in housing starts in the South was the highest since 1982. There is even more good news as the number of new permits is high now which means that this trend should continue into the new year.

In our area, agents and builders are in agreement with this optimism and excited about the coming year.

The New Construction Market We are seeing “quite the pickup in new construction, everyone wants a new house,” said Susan Stewart with Roy Wheeler Realty, Co. She explained that new home prices have come down at the same time that building stan-

CONSTRUCTION Coming on STRONG in 2014

dards are up, making a new home very attractive compared to resale.

Stewart recently worked with some buyers whose offer was one of several on a foreclosed property. Unfortunately, their offer was not accepted and they lost out to the competition. However, they actually lucked out because they took the floor plan to a builder who was able to build the home for them in the same subdivision for the same price as they would have paid for the resale, but of course, everything was new and customized to their taste.

Keith Davis, with Nest Realty, who represents Evergreen Construction, described the new home market as “incredibly strong,” especially, he continued, in the urban ring, which is that part of Albemarle bordering the city.

He referenced Lochlyn Hill, a planned

community of 204 units on 35 acres.

Named after the original house on this property, it will be the largest development in the city in 35 years.

Justin Kent, with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III, said that Craig Builders, which he represents, has had one of the best years since the company was formed in 1957. With the number of sales they have in place, but not yet started, they expect 2014 to be a record year as well.

“Closed sales for 2013 will be 3 to 4 percent higher than in 2012 for the entire area,” said Greg Slater with Nest Realty, who represents Piedmont Realty and Construction. “If you look at just Albemarle, new home closings are up 10 percent year over year,” he continued.

New Home Styles, Prices and Locations Building is happening all over our region, but popular areas are Crozet, which Slater said accounted for 50 percent of new home sales in Albemarle in 2013. People like the schools and the mountain views, he said, but also thanks to long term planning on the part of the county, this is where most of the new lots are found. Close-in locations, some in the city, others just over the line in Albemarle also are popular. Another desirable area is Zion Crossroads, which has an active new home market. In terms of home styles, a big trend in today’s marketplace is the number of homes which are one level or which have a master suite on the first floor.

Attached homes are very popular and made up 51 percent of sales in Albemarle in 2013, Slater said. He added that the numbers of closed homes and their prices (median in Albemarle was $308,000) were influenced by construction of main level living communities, many of which have attached homes.

Examples are Dunlora Gates and Dunlora Forest, both of which are almost sold out, he said. Considering all attached homes, those with first floor master suites accounted for 30 percent of this market in 2013, up from 17 percent in 2012.

Townhomes are also popular choices for first time buyers, Slater added, explaining that they find two or three story models attractive, along with their prices, which are in the $250,000 to $350,000 range.

For people wanting a detached home in Albemarle, expect to pay more, Slater said. The median price for these homes was $475,000 in 2013.

Zion Crossroads also is a popular location for new home buyers, Stewart said, adding that you can get a lot more home for the money compared to what is available closer to town. Although it is a few miles out, Zion Crossroads is a quick commute to Charlottesville via either Interstate 64 or Route 250.

This is also a convenient location for

couples where one person has a job in Richmond the other in Charlottesville.

Prices in Zion Crossroads have come down since before the market crash, Stewart said, while standards have increased, making these homes an even better buy. In addition, buyers have five subdivisions to choose from.

age groups and price ranges. Why do they like new homes? Part of the reason is because new construction offers the opportunity to customize.

The new homes market attracts a wide variety of buyers in all age groups and price ranges. Why do they like new homes?

Part of the reason is because new construction offers the opportunity to customize. When the new owner moves in, their home is just like they want it to be. They don’t have to paint, remodel or be inconvenienced by renovations after they move in, as they might have to do with a resale home.

New homebuyers are people who know exactly what they want, Kent explained whether it’s tile showers, hardwood floors or custom trim.

Energy efficiency is another big draw of new construction. For example, Kent described Craig Builders’ superior insulation package, plus the “new advances in energy efficiency associated with windows, appliances and heating and cooling systems” that are incorporated into their homes, as standard fea-

tures. He made special note of advances in HVAC systems that include “variable speed fans and multiple zones to more effectively and efficiently heat and cool a home than ever before.”

Another perk of new homes, Davis said, is that they are often larger than those that are available in the resale

market, especially in older close-in neighborhoods that attract buyers who want to walk or bike to work, or to eat out or go shopping. Many of these same buyers also appreciate greater energy efficiency and the many benefits offered by modern homes, such as open floor plans, granite counter tops, contemporary trim and larger closets.

Overall, “Today’s buyers are making longer term and more deliberate housing decisions. They are realizing that the cost savings from energy efficiency, the lower maintenance due to age of major components, and the more relevant floor plans for today’s lifestyles add up to value over the long term,” Slater said.

While energy efficiency and the availability of more contemporary styles are part of what make new homes attractive, another factor is supply and demand. After years of excess inventory in the resale market, the numbers of homes available for sale are actually dwindling, Slater said. This shortage of options in the resale market also pushes buyers to consider new homes.

The improved resale market also offers greater financing flexibility for people wanting to build a new home.

a side-by-side, freezer-on-top or freezer-on-bottom is best for you.

If you already have an efficient unit, you can still pare down your energy costs. Check the seal by closing the door on a dollar bill. If you can tug it out easily, you may need new gaskets.

Keeping your fridge and freezer full actually saves money because chilled air doesn’t spill out every time you open the door. When it’s getting empty, consider filling vacant shelves with empty plastic bottles or jugs that, once chilled, will hold the cold.

Cool hot foods before putting in the fridge, but be sure to chill promptly enough to keep food safe. Defrost frequently. And check the cooling coils monthly to keep them free from dust.

Use your vacuum cleaner or one of the special brushes just for that purpose.

Stoves are essential for some tasks, especially when cooking for a large group. Be sure your pan is at least an inch wider than the burner so you don’t waste the heat. Lids on your pans also reduce energy consumption. Pres-

While some people still thoroughly rinse dishes under hot running water before loading the dishwasher, this is a waste—of water, of heating that water and of the rinsing person’s time. A quick scrape of the dishes to remove bones and large bits of leftovers is ample for most dishwashers made in the last decade with their built-in food disposers.

In The Laundry Most washing machines offer many choices these days—from water temperature and level to cycle options.

Most clothes-washing energy use lies in heating the water but you’ll find in most cases cold water works just fine.

At the very least, choose cold water for the rinse.

Run washers with full loads. On the other hand, don’t overfill the washer because your clothes may not get clean.

If you must do a partial load, adjust the water level.

Don’t over-dry items in the clothes dryer and remember to clean the lint

My “Green” Resolution:

Use Appliances Efficiently

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

S

ome New Year’s resolutions may already be fading, but how about adding just one more: be “green” in 2014 and keep some extra “green” in your bank account. To help you, this month’s “green” column focuses on home appliances.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

In The Kitchen Kitchens use lots of energy and it is usually the fridge drawing the most power. While most refrigerators have a life expectancy of up to 20 years, older ones tend to need repairs and suck up more electricity. In fact, today’s Energy Star-rated refrigerator uses about half the power of a 10-year-old model.

If your fridge is a candidate for replacement, consider taking action before it fails, leaving you with an emergency shopping trip. By taking the time to research new fridges and watching for sales, you make a careful decision. Check Consumer Reports or on-line comparisons to decide whether

Studies show that a fully loaded modern dishwasher will generally use considerably less energy than washing by hand.

sure cookers are another good way to save time and energy.

Microwaves, on the other hand, are more electrically efficient so they are the most environmentally friendly method of cooking or reheating small meals. In addition, microwaves don’t heat up the house, so are definitely more practical in summer. Requiring less water to cook and a shorter cooking time means that more nutrients are retained in the foods. Another benefit is that in many cases food can be heated and served in the same container— for example, cooking oatmeal right in the bowl—so you don’t have to scrub a cooking pot, either.

Small appliances are also energy savers. Toaster-ovens, crock pot slow cookers, electric woks and frying pans are all more efficient than a stove’s burners.

Studies show that a fully loaded modern dishwasher with its cycle options—from short to sanitizer—will generally use considerably less energy than washing by hand. To say nothing of the time spent scrubbing and drying.

trap after each use. In fact, limiting your dryer’s use is wise in saving on electricity and extending the dryer’s life.

This time of year, take advantage of the dry interior air to dry your laundry on indoor clotheslines, hangers or drying racks. Run items through the dryer briefly to fluff and shake out wrinkles, then air dry them the rest of the way.

Not only will you save energy, you’ll be humidifying the home. Research shows that an indoor humidity of 40-60 percent is beneficial for health and comfort. Humidified air is comfortable at lower temperatures, too, so you don’t have to have the heating set so high.

These pointers may seem like little things, but little things done over and over can turn into big savings. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County. She dries her laundry near their wood stove on wooden drying racks that are stowed away between washdays.
