Local Real Estate News

National Economist Foresees Steady Central Virginia Real Estate Market “All real estate is local; it’s not easy to pick up and move around.” This is how Lawrence Yun, Ph.D., chief economist and senior vice president of research for the National Association of REALTORS®, opened his remarks to a crowd of some 200 REALTORS® and affiliated industry professionals from CAAR and neighboring associations on Thursday, February 6 to emphasize the strength of our market conditions in Central Virginia. Yun led a discussion on the key trends happening nationwide and what’s trickling down to the local level.

“Too much activity and too loose of lending standards gave us a hard landing in 2008,” Yun said. “Entering the

FINE PROPERTIES VOLUME 19, ISSUE 4

third year of recovery brings questions of what will happen next.”

The closed sales statistics for our area recorded a 26 percent increase over the past two years, but the fourth quarter of 2013 started to show a decline in pending contracts—similar to what’s been tracked nationwide. Yun’s team studies a variety of qualitative feedback from consumers, and attributes the slowdown to a loss in buyer enthusiasm for the short term. He also made note of the fact that while median sales price has steadily risen 6 percent in 2013 and 9 percent in 2012, potential buyers’ income is not keeping up.

Yun covered the inevitable rise in mortgage rates, saying that all data implies the lowest rates for a 30-year fixed mortgage in the 3.5 percent range will not happen again. “Short term interest rates will rise over the next year; it could be 5.5 by this time next year,” Yun stated. Given this forecast, he believes that refinance loans will be nonexistent in the next economic wave.

Overall, Greater Charlottesville real estate is a strong investment. Yun highlighted the fact that there are genuine price increases locally because of low inventory. Because it takes longer for builders to obtain business loans, Charlottesville’s permit statistics are half of what they should be—only 500.

It has taken the country six years to recover from losing 8 million jobs, Yun pointed out in closing. “Statistically, we are out of the recession, but people don’t feel it.”

The event was made possible by sponsorships by: Eric Parker, CFP of Morgan Stanley; Peter Thompson of The Senior Center; and Real Estate Weekly.

ime was, a beer was a Bud, or maybe a Schlitz or a Coors.

Really adventurous drinkers might lay in a stock of Heineken or Beck’s. Wine lovers could look forward to Beaujolais Nouveau in late fall, but about the best – or was it the worst? – brew lovers could do for novelty was a stein of their favorite laced with green food coloring on St. Patrick’s Day. But that was before Satan’s Pony and Killer Kolsch. Before Pear Lager and Whiter Shade of Pale. That was before craft brewers joined chefs and baristas in the artisanal food and beverage movement, and locavores became locabibbers.

“Innovation,” proclaims the nationwide Brewer’s Association, is “the hallmark of craft beer.” Adding non-traditional, oftentimes locally grown, ingredients to the traditional hops and malted barley, crafters brew distinctive and ever-changing variations of historic beer styles.

Local Craft, Local Beer

BY KEN WILSON

The first craft breweries sprung up in Britain in the 1970s. The craft beer craze took root in the U.S. in . . . well, technically back in 1587 when Virginia colonists, not yet supplied with beer from the mother country, brewed ale with corn. Skipping a couple of centuries, this distinguished history continues with George Washington brewing beer at Mount Vernon using hops, yeast and molasses, Thomas Jefferson mak-

ing use of wife Martha’s brew knowledge at Monticello, and James Madison following TJ’s lead at Montpelier.

Today the seven breweries on the Blue Ridge Beer Trail, along the Route 250 and Route 151 corridors and in Charlottesville, are some of the area’s largest employers, producing award-winning brews enjoyed in state and out, even collaborating once a year or so on a special brew just for the fun of it.

Virginia was once the “Hop Capital of the New World,” and while the Pacific Northwest claims that crown today, the commonwealth again likes to grow its own. “We get a unique flavor here because of the different soil,” says Matt Nucci of Blue Mountain Brewery. Different soil and great water, that is. “We have very good brew water with the proper mineral content, straight off the Blue Ridge Mountains,” notes Mark Thompson of Starr Hill Brewery. “From the standpoint of brewing, your most important raw ingredient is almost perfect,” agrees Mary Wolf of Wild

Wolf Brewing Company. “A lot of regions of the world have water that’s either too hard or has chemicals in it that they have to adjust for. Here the water is almost neutral, so the brewers can add whatever they want to achieve any style.”

South Street Brewery opened in 1986, just a block off the Downtown Mall at 106 South Street, in a renovated grain warehouse dating back to the late 19th cen-

tury. Today it brews some 650 barrels a year, serving six house-brewed beers on tap year ‘round, plus two ciders produced in Free Union and Wintergreen.

“Our two main beers are Satan’s Pony and JP Ale,” says South Street manager Jason McKown. “Satan’s Pony is our amber – it’s very malty, hoppy, nicely balanced.” Award-winning JP Pale Ale, a somewhat bitter brew, is a staff favorite, while Espresso Porter is a dark beer flavored with another kind of brew courtesy of Charlottesville roasters Shenandoah Joe. Complementing its beers, South Street serves a seasonal menu of American, Asian-Pacific, Continental, Creole, Caribbean and regional Southern cuisine.

The first brewery in the area to bottle its beer and sell it off premises, Starr Hill Brewery opened in 1999 in the facilities formerly used by Blue Ridge Brewing Company, itself the first brewpub in the state of Virginia when it opened in 1986 in Charlottesville’s Starr Hill neighborhood. expanded tasting room this spring.

Thompson traces the spike of interest in craft beer in Central Virginia to the decision of Taylor Smack, then assistant brewer at South Street, to start Blue Mountain Brewery Company in 2007. “When he opened his concept on Route 151, that really began the first domino tipping if you will.” The first brewery in Nelson County, Blue Mountain operates breweries in Lovingston and Afton, making 800,000 gallons of beer a year and attracting more than 175,000 visitors in 2012.

“We’re out here near a lot of wineries,” says Matt Nucci, along with Taylor

Starr Hill brewmaster Mark Thompson was born and raised here, graduating from Western Albemarle High School and James Madison University before taking his first professional brewing job in Portland, Oregon in 1992. When the Blue Ridge facility became available in 1999, “two and two made five,” Thompson says. “It was synergistic.”

In 2005 Thompson moved the company out to Crozet and into the old

Con Agra frozen food factory. Today, he says, “We are the largest brewery in the state of Virginia. We did about 22,000 barrels of beer last year. We project to do 25-27,000 this year.” Asked to name the most popular of the 28 brews on its website, Thompson mentions Northern Lights, the India Pale Ale-style brew that is its biggest seller, plus The Love, an unfiltered wheat beer, and the citrusy Grateful Pale Ale, originally a seasonal and now a year ‘round offering.

Over the years, Starr Hill has won 19 Great American Beer Festival awards in 10 different style categories.

Starr Hill gets its water from nearby Beaver Creek, and the wildflower honey for its Belgian-Style Dubbel, A Taste of Honey, from Hungry Hill Farm in Nelson County. It gives tours on weekend afternoons and will reopen its newly

and Mandi Smack, one of Blue Mountain’s owners. “That’s kind of the reason we chose this location. It has a really good view of the mountains. Between the two breweries I’d say we have 600700 Cascade plants,” Nucci says. “We use those hops in a beer called Blue Reserve, which is a hoppy Belgian pale Ale, and then also in Full Nelson for about four months throughout the year.”

Blue Mountain’s Afton brewery gives free tours on Saturdays, noon to 4:00 p.m., serves a full menu in its restaurant all week, and keeps a rotating selection of lagers, ales, porters and stouts on tap. The company holds a Community Hop Harvest every August, serving a free lunch to volunteer pickers.

Devils Backbone Brewing Company opened in Lexington in 2008, maintains a brewery there, and also brews at “base camp” in Roseland. Devils received the Small Brewing Company and Small Brewing Company Brewer of the Year awards at the 2013 Great

The new guys hope to brew over 3,000 barrels this year. Warwick calls 40 Miles IPA “hands down” the most popular of their ten offerings, with the Irish red ale Hydrualion Red coming in second. Tours take place Saturdays 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Jim Duncan, of Nest Realty in Charlottesville, has seen the region’s breweries and wineries become a major draw. “Having access to things like that is absolutely a factor for many of my clients who are looking in Western Albemarle and Nelson County,” Duncan says.

“The beer and brewery scene seems like it’s growing every day around here,” says Todd Rath of The Blue Toad, a pub and family style restaurant in Afton that serves over 100 beers.

“Blue Mountain Brewery were the first, and people thought they were nuts!

Boy did they prove them wrong! I bought my farm in 2007. A few months later I was back visiting and playing golf, which just so happened to be the opening day for Blue Mountain.

This sealed the deal for me and I was hooked!”

“Central Virginia has become a mecca for great beer and great wine,” affirms Dave Warwick. “I’ve got tons of friends in the D.C. area that make somewhat regular trips down to run the 151 route, and now we’re giving them another reason to come into Charlottesville and have some beers here. The beer trail has been great for Central Virginia and it certainly has put 151 on the map. They’re brewing great beer out there.” n

Mother and son team Mary and Danny Wolf opened Wild Wolf Brewing Company in November 2011 in an old high school in Nellysford. “Last year we made 2,300 barrels of beer,” Mary says.

“We’ll probably double that this year.”

A newly planted hop yard full of Cascade Rhizomes will be ready for harvest “within the next year or two.”

Visitors to Wild Wolf’s scenic tenacre property can choose between a restaurant, a sports bar, a pavilion and a biergarten with 60-year-old Siberian Elm trees, where they can sample ten to twelve different beers, singly or in flights. Most popular are the unfiltered Belgian style Blonde Hunney Ale, the American pale Alpha Ale, and the American Pilsner, a German-style pilsner loaded with extra hops.

Wild Wolf is available for weddings, rehearsal dinners and parties. Brewery tours take place Sundays, and group tours can be scheduled upon request.

Executive Chef Bryan Nageotte oversees a full menu seven days a week, and holds three or four beer dinners a year.

Hunter W. Smith, President and Head Brewer of Champion Brewery, was born in the old Martha Jefferson hospital in Charlottesville, “just a stone’s throw” from the brewery he opened in November of 2012.

Using Virginia ingredients, including habaneros, fennel, and oysters, Champion has been making 500 barrels of beer a year, but plans closer to 10,000 by 2015. “Our flagship beers are our Missile IPA and Killer Kolsch,” Smith says, “and we’ve had lots of big hits on small batches such as our Habanero IPA, Bourbon Barrel Russian Imperial Stout, Tart Berliner Weisse, and Imperial Coffee Porter. Smith’s own favorite beer is the Missile IPA, an American India Pale Ale “with firm bitterness and intense citrusy hop aromas.”

Champion currently sells about half its beer on premise, and half around town, a ratio that will change once it begins canning six-packs in April. Already its taproom at the foot of the Belmont Bridge at 324 6th St. SE attracts hundreds of out-of-town customers each month for Charlottesville brew and Charlottesville grub.

Charlottesville’s newest beer maker, Three Notch’d Brewing Company, opened at 946 Grady Avenue in September 2013, after Virginia law was amended to allow breweries to sell pints without having to sell food. “When we caught wind of that, we started formulating a plan to open a small brewery and feed our drinking habit by selling beer to our friends,” says head brewer Dave Warwick. “Given the sort of rich culture of the restaurant industry in Charlottesville, we thought there was a void here and felt like there was enough room for somebody else to enter. Clearly Devils and Blue Mountain and those guys are making very good beer, but they’re still 40-50 miles outside the city. So we focused on finding a production facility that would be central to the city of Charlottesville.

American Beer Festival in Denver. Its most popular beer, its “flagship” brew and the first one it ever bottled, is the three-time award-winning Vienna Lager, “a chestnut colored lager with a malty aroma and subtle toasty sweetness derived from a multi-stage mash.”

Its Eight Point IPA, “not your grandfather’s beer,” has a robust hops flavor and a 5.9 percent alcohol content.

Devils’ brewpub sits on 100 acres just south of Nellysford, amidst “fields galore and nature trails,” says marketing manager Heidi Crandall. All that glorious acreage gives the company space to host mountain bike, tour bike, and pika races, and a three-day annual musical blowout, the Festy, that boasts national acts and by its third year, in 2012, pumped $208,675 into the Virginia economy. Devils gives tours of its Lexington brewery Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Hardscaping Solves Problems and Adds Livability

e’ve all heard of landscaping, but “hardscaping” may be a new term for some people. What exactly is it?

“Hardscape is a type of building material such as bricks, pavers, concrete or cement,” explains Mike Halliday, owner of Bluehill Lawn & Landscaping in Charlottesville.

Hardscape is generally permanent and involves natural stone, gravel, or boulders as well as manufactured products including pavers, bricks, retaining wall blocks, stepping stones, and edging stone. In some cases, treated timber or even metal can be employed.

Hardscaping is an ideal way to address difficult landscaping situations like steep areas affected by soil erosion, low spots where water collects, and areas where heavy foot traffic makes it difficult to maintain a lawn.

“You often use hardscape for a patio or wall,” Halliday says. “On a steep

property, a retaining wall can level off any type of slope, giving you more useable space because you can develop the level area for a garden or patio.” He says the most popular product for retaining walls is pre-cast segmental wall block.

“Another popular item is the interlocking concrete paver,” he continues.

“They are made in a mold in a factory and already cured, so you don’t have to wait for them to dry.” This type of paver is frequently used for pathways or patios.

While these interlocking pavers are often installed by a landscaping contractor, a reasonably handy homeowner can do it. “You really just need a few tools like a level, tamper, wheelbarrow, and shovel,” Halliday says. “You excavate the subsoil, install and tamp down compactable aggregate, put down a thin layer of sand, and lay the pavers.”

Retaining walls, on the other hand, can be more complicated. In this region, Halliday says, you must use a certified installer or get a permit if the wall will be more than three feet high. “The permit isn’t about color or materials,” he explains, “but about how much of the property is involved, how the wall will be reinforced, and how backfill and drainage will be managed.”

Drainage is always an important aspect of landscaping and hardscaped areas like driveways or large patios can lead to problems with flooding. A good answer for this, says Halliday, is using permeable materials.

“A permeable system is a green product designed to capture and recycle storm water back into the ground by allowing water to penetrate through the material,” Halliday says. “It can keep your driveway from being flooded and the city doesn’t have to worry about overflows.”

Permeable pavers, natural stone, and gravel are environmentally friendly, especially in areas where paving isn’t desirable like a particularly large driveway. In these cases, permeable pavers and stone can let water seep through rather than end up as runoff.

Permeable materials can also reduce property fees related to Charlottesville’s Water Resources Protection Program (WRPP) which is the local response to federal- and state-mandated regulations to control stormwater runoff. This program’s funding mechanism is a stormwater utility fee based on the impervious area of a property such as rooftops, driveways, parking lots, tennis courts, and such. Installing a permeable surface could make a difference. Other governmental entities in the region may well consider similar fees in the future to comply with environmental regulations.

Water features are another popular form of hardscape and can be well suited for solving landscaping problems. For example, a low-lying area in a yard can be converted to a fishpond or fountain. Waterfalls with recirculating pumps add a pleasant ambiance to a yard and the sound of the water attracts songbirds.

Hardscaping can make a home’s entry more inviting with a curving walkway and handsome brick or stone steps leading to the front door. It can also be useful in making yard care more convenient with mowing strips around gardens. Some homeowners create extra living areas such as an outdoor kitchen with a built-in fireplace, barbecue, and counter area. Others opt for an outdoor patio with built-in seating and a fire pit.

In areas with poor soil, hardscaping can be used to create raised beds to fill with a good gardening medium for flowers, vegetables and herbs. Hardscaped pathways make it easier for persons with disabilities to move around a yard and to use a raised garden.

The bottom line is that to address problem areas, increase livability, and add yard appeal, there are almost endless possibilities for enhancing a property with hardscaping. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County near Charlottesville.

Helping Elderly Neighbors Stay Safe at Home

BY JENNIFER JACOBS

L

ast March, a senior citizen named Edith had a very big problem. She filed a claim with her homeowner’s insurance company to get them to fix her roof that had been damaged in a spring storm. But when the agent came out to take a look, he gave her some terrible news.

He told her that her roof was failing, and that the insurance company was going to cancel her homeowner’s insurance policy if she didn’t replace her roof and remove a dying tree that was hanging over her house. And he gave her 30 days to do it.

Edith is 82 years old and lives by herself in the city of Charlottesville.

She gets by on a Social Security income of $11,000 per year. There was no way that she would have been able to cover the cost of a roof replacement and tree removal on her own.

That’s when she called AHIP. Safe at Home AHIP is a home repair nonprofit that works year-round in Charlottesville and Albemarle. We help homeowners make critical repairs to their homes.

“Our seniors get by on very low, fixed incomes, which makes it hard for them to maintain their homes. As they get older, they have trouble doing small fixes and maintenance items themselves. And they struggle with mobility issues, and with the fact that accessibility retrofits can be out of reach.”

Roofs, floors, windows, electrical and plumbing systems, wells, water heaters, furnaces, and stairs and steps—un-fancy, basic things that turn into disasters when they become a danger or fail altogether.

We get a lot of calls from senior citizens like Edith. In fact, 150 of the more than 400 households on our current waiting list are home to people over age 62.

“Our seniors face a lot of challenges,” says Jane Andrews, who is AHIP’s Associate Director for Rehab and Repair. “They get by on very low, fixed incomes, which makes it hard for them to maintain their homes. As they get older, they have trouble doing small fixes and maintenance items themselves. And they struggle with mobility issues, and with the fact that accessibility retrofits can be out of reach.”

Their homes, she says, can become hostile and hazardous places.

But, she asks, “What’s the alternative? For the seniors we help, the home that they own is often the best, most affordable place they can live. It is really important that we help them stay there for as long as they are able.”

Research shows that not only do most seniors want to stay in their

CAAR and BRHBA: Helping AHIP Make the Fix Last year, AHIP completed 153 repair and rehab projects, helping 322 of our Charlottesville and Albemarle neighbors stay safe, warm, and dry. We do not do this work alone—our partners, volunteers, and donors help us carry out our mission every day, yearround.

The Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors and the Blue Ridge Home Builders Association have been leaders and champions since our launch of Seniors Safe at Home in spring of 2012.

They have brought awareness, volunteer muscle, and many donations to this community-wide cause.

Because of their involvement and the generosity of their members, AHIP has been able to help more elderly clients like Edith make repairs, stay safe, and hold onto their homes. The 2014 Seniors Safe at Home campaign will run from April 1 to June 1, with a fundraising goal of $50,000—and anyone can join the cause. To learn more, volunteer, or make a gift, visit ahipva.org.

As for Edith, the insurance company did not end up cancelling her policy.

Our staff called the representative, and they put the cancellation on hold while we arranged the construction work and got it done. And now, Edith is safe and sound.

Our Seniors Safe at Home partners and supporters help us do a world of good—and ensure that we can keep answering the calls that come in, every day, for help. The impact on individual lives cannot be overstated.

“I had been living in a home that was not safe or healthy for me or anyone else,” an elderly client whom we helped last summer wrote to us after her project was completed. “I don’t know where I would be living today if it weren’t for AHIP.” n Jennifer Jacobs is the Executive Director of AHIP.
