Local Fire Fighters, Nurses, Police Officers and Teachers Have More Home Purchasing Power through CAAR Workforce Housing Fund Changes to Workforce Housing Fund Guidelines Result in Six New Home Ownership Success Stories CAAR, the voice of real estate in the Central Virginia region, has announced changes to the guidelines for its signature program available to local residents who are employed in important public service roles. Now in its 10th year, the CAAR Workforce Housing Fund (WHF) was established by the real estate community and is administered by Piedmont Housing Alliance. WHF supports fire fighters, nurses, police officers and teachers who want to own a home near

their work but find their income levels do not meet lending criteria. This vital community partnership helps eligible homebuyers with down payment and closing costs. Since its establishment, WHF has helped 46 families become homeowners, but the pace of applicants has dwindled in recent years. “An unfortunate side effect of the recession was receiving only two applications in 24 months. This showed the CAAR Board of Directors that it was time to make changes so that Workforce Housing Fund opportunities could be utilized by more hard-working residents and families,” John Ince, CAAR president and associate broker at Nest Realty Group, said. The CAAR Board approved two modifications to the WFH to encourage more participation: • The first change opens up the Workforce Housing Fund to borrowers who purchase and serve anywhere within the Thomas Jefferson Planning District, which includes the City of Charlottesville and counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson. Previously, purchasers were limited to purchase in the specific community in which they worked. • The second change brings the interest rate in-line with those of the Albemarle County Housing Assistance Program, which currently has a 3 percent simple interest rate. The original WHF guidelines required a 6 percent simple interest loan. In the six short months since those revisions went into effect, Piedmont Housing reports the following Workforce Housing Fund success stories: A police officer was able to buy an affordable home in Charlottesville with $11,495 in CAAR WHF down payment assistance. Another police officer and his family bought a home in Fluvanna County, with $7,000 in down payment assistance from the CAAR Fund. A Louisa County teacher’s loan was approved by using $4,870 from the CAAR WHF. A Charlottesville teacher was able to buy an affordable home in Ruckersville with $9,950 from CAAR. Another teacher bought a home in Albemarle County with $10,295 from the CAAR WHF.

The most recent closing was by a nurse who bought a home in Albemarle County with $10,950 in assistance from the CAAR WHF. “Often times the funds available from CAAR make it possible to leverage additional funds at the county level,” Frank Grosch, Piedmont Housing’s executive director, said. “Our partnership helps public servants in our communities put roots down in the area that they serve, and Piedmont Housing is proud to work with local real estate professionals to make that happen.” “As part of the CAAR leadership team nothing has impressed me more than the willingness and desire of our members to give back to the community, especially on housing related issues like the Workforce Housing Fund,” Ince added. “It is so rewarding to witness the positive impact these 1,000 members have in virtually all the communities served by CAAR.” Contact a local REALTOR® to learn how to start the qualification process.

he natural beauty of our area attracts many different individuals and families looking for a second home where they can enjoy our region’s many recreational activities or hide away in a quiet place and retreat from the noise and distractions of a busy lifestyle. Some prefer a cabin in the woods while others choose a home in one of our resort subdivisions where they can stay during the summer months, leaving it behind in the winter for warmer temperatures further south. Still others look for a weekend place they can use now with the intention of making it their permanent residence after retirement.

Whatever your reason, if you want a second home, central Virginia is a great place to find just what you are looking for; and depending on your needs, you can find everything from a condo to a single family home on a ski slope to a rustic cabin on several acres. And while your neighbors are most likely to come from places such as DC, Richmond or Tidewater, they may also come from as far away as Baltimore, New York or even Maine and Florida. Like the rest of the real estate market, the one for vacation properties is picking up, and REALTORS® report improving sales, higher prices and in some instances a shortage of inventory. Nevertheless, it’s still a great time to buy your second home as interest rates continue at all time lows, and prices, while inching up, are still favorable compared to the hot market of a few years ago.

The Market for Second Homes Nationally the market for vacation properties is booming, jumping almost 30 percent in 2013 compared to the previous year according to a survey conducted by the National Association of REALTORS®. In contrast, the market for investment properties fell last year, and that for owner occupied homes rose only 13.1 percent. As impressive as the growth in vacation home purchases was, total sales were

one third less than they were in 2006, suggesting there is still room for appreciation making vacation homes a good investment. Locally, vacation homes sales are also up compared to the slow market of the recession years. Amy Smith with RE/ MAX Specialists works in Louisa and does business in Blue Ridge Shores, a private gated community built around Lake Louisa. “Many of the properties right on the lake are second homes, and the market for them is good when they are priced correctly,” she said. The vacation market is going well, agreed James Dickerson with Charlottesville Solutions. He referenced Lake Anna and Blue Ridge Shores as well as Shenandoah Crossings, a 500 home subdivision of single family homes plus a year round resort located in Louisa County near Gordonsville, which Dickerson called the “best kept secret in central Virginia.” In Massanutten, a popular resort area near Harrisonburg, last year’s residential sales were the best they’ve been since 2007, said Dave Cureton with Massanutten Realty, who reported a total of 49 residential sales. This year is also off to a good start with 11 sales and 11 homes under contract, year to date. “There were some healthy signs in last year’s market,” said Brian Chase a REALTOR® with Wintergreen Re-

Vacation Home Buyers

term strategy to provide a place for retirement. Many of these people have fond memories of summers spent here when they were young, while others went to UVA and enjoy having a place to stay in the fall when they come for the colorful leaves and UVA football. Many second home buyers are what Konstant calls pre-retirees; people who have survived the housing crash and have been waiting for the economy to turn around again before making a purchase. “There is a lot of pent up desire for this kind of property,” he continued. They come primarily from northern Virginia and Baltimore, but increasingly also from Tidewater, he added. While some of them may have intentions to live in their second homes full time after retirement, Konstant explained that many Massanutten properties that make desirable second homes are less inviting for retirees. For example, the vacation home buyer may appreciate a condo or a two story home high up on the mountain with great views, while the retiree may want the convenience of being lower down the mountain and all on one level. The result is over time there is lots of turn over of properties. Cureton explained that at any given time in a Massanutten neighborhood there will be a mixture of full time residents, weekenders, and renters. The rentals

sort Premier Properties. However, he explained that business suffered some from last year’s government shut down that affected lots of people in Northern Virginia, home to many vacation home buyers. While he feels that the Wintergreen market has picked up, it has not experienced the boom reflected in the nationwide sales. Chase also said that the good news is that there are now “unprecedented opportunities” for buyers at Wintergreen. Resale prices are 10 to 20 percent less than the cost to build, and interest rates are still very low. “There is a good bit of equity available for the smart people who get into the market now,” Chase said. Jeff Konstant, with Massanutten Realty, described the market of the last 1.5 to 2 years as “normal,” or about what it was in 2001 and 2002. “We’re seeing appreciation,” he said, “which is very normal.”

What Brings the Buyers to Our Area There are many reasons why vacation home buyers prefer our area. Most people want mountain views or to be near water, or both. Our area offers it all and buyers can choose from waterfront communities like Lake Anna, Lake Monticello or Shenandoah Crossings, to ski resorts like Wintergreen or Massanutten. Recreational opportunities and activities are also important and the year round resort facilities associated with Wintergreen, Massanutten and Shenandoah Crossings attract home buyers who can live in the nearby subdivision and take advantage of all that these places have to offer. The ski slopes at Massanutten and Wintergreen attract skiers and snow boarders in the wintertime. In the boom days, vacationers “bought condos before breakfast,” during the ski season, Chase said. Even with today’s slower market, though, fourth quarter sales are solid. However, people are out looking prior to the season. They want to be closed by the 15th of December, Chase said, so they can be ready to enjoy their favorite winter sports as soon as there is enough snow. Wintergreen is more than a ski place, though, Chase explained. Spring and fall are very busy there with people enjoying the natural beauty as they come for reunions, meetings and big events like weddings. The natural

Most second home buyers are financially stable and obtaining a mortgage is relatively easy. However, if you are in the market for a second home and you don’t plan to pay cash, talk to your agent about the best sources for these funds. While Konstant agreed, “financing is easy,” he added that there are definitely some banks that make the process more difficult. According to Chase as well, “financing is easy if you work with the right lenders,” in which case funds are readily available. Most second home buyers “have their financial house in order,” he said. However while his buyers have had a nearly 100 percent success rate working with lenders familiar with the second home market, sometimes this rate drops to as low as 50 percent, he said, for buyers who try to find their own source of funds.

beauty appeals to hikers and golfers, both of who appreciate the cooler temperatures during the summer months. Wintergreen is very much of a family place with lots of activities for children. It also attracts grandparents who enjoy entertaining their extended family in a central location with lots of amenities. Often people who come for the skiing are pleasantly surprised at what Wintergreen has to offer during the rest of the year, Chase added, saying “it would be hard to duplicate what we have here in the way of year round activities and amenities.” One highlight of the summer months is the fireworks display on July 4th when people from all over the area join local residents to watch the show. Massanutten is also busy in the summer. Konstant, who has lived there “off and on” since 1978 said it’s actually busier there in the summer than during the ski season. Kids are out of school then so it’s a much more popular time for family vacations. There are plenty of activities as well including golf, a health club and an indoor/outdoor water park. With the water park, which is open year round, people can “ski in the morning and enjoy a tropical water experience in the afternoon,” Cureton said. The local wild life is also a part of the mountain experience. Cureton lives in a house on the ski slope half way up the mountain at Massanutten. During the season he enjoys sitting in front of his fireplace and watching the skiers fly by. However, he also sees wildlife including a mama bear and her cub that once stopped by for a visit. They took off when he yelled in surprise. Often people come to our area first as tourists and then as vacation home buyers before they move here permanently. Shenandoah Crossings offers activities such as horseback riding, pools and playgrounds, however a lot of what brings people there is the history and the events such as wine festivals, Dickerson said. They enjoy these activities and then retreat to their “little cabin tucked away in the woods, their house on the water and their mountain views,” he continued.

HOMEOWNERS ARE REALIZING the cost of expansive lawns in terms of water usage as well as expensive and environmentally unfriendly chemical fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides. Plus the human time expenditure and fuel for lawn mowers, weed whackers, and leaf blowers. People are also becoming more aware about the potential bad health effects of these chemicals on children and pets playing in their yards. The answer lies in “beneficial landscaping,” that is, planning a yard to suit your environment while saving time and money, too. For instance, maintaining a wildflower patch costs less than 10 percent of the same area of lawn so the slightly higher installation cost of soil preparation and buying the flowers is quickly recovered. A very effective first step to limiting chemicals is to downsize your lawn. If you are landscaping from scratch, minimize the lawn area by developing

Other attractive strategies include the use of groundcovers, wooded glens, or rock gardens. If you already have a lawn, leave parts of it un-mown to grow naturally into a meadow where wildflowers will eventually appear. Consider converting a section of lawn each year to groundcover or natural areas to save time and money in the long

Marilyn Pribus and her husband live near Charlottesville where they rely on birds and “good bugs” to control plant pests.

For really persistent problems with pests, you may decide to use some chemicals. But follow these pointers because misuse of pesticides can kill good bugs—and even your plants. First, be certain you have identified the problem correctly. Use the least toxic remedies first. Read directions carefully and use only the product where it’s needed, avoiding broadcasting it. Apply at the right time of day, the right temperature, and the right time in your watering cycle. Avoid drift onto unaffected plants—your own and neighbors’—and vigilantly prevent runoff into nearby streams or waterways.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

How Green is Your Garden?

run. Use native plants as much as possible. They generally require less maintenance because they can basically fend for themselves. Already adapted to our climate, they are usually less susceptible to pests and require less water and fertilizer than purchased annuals. Non-native plants require fertilizer and quick-acting fertilizers often result in weak plants, which are susceptible to pest attacks. Even worse, some fertilizers can build pest resistance in plants, destroy useful microbes in the soil, and run off into waterways. Composting is an excellent alternative. Compost loosens soil, improves its water-holding capacity, and stabilizes nutrients so they feed your plants instead of being washed away. Compost is simply the end result of a mixture of organic materials—such as grass clippings and kitchen waste—put in a pile or box, kept moist, and mixed periodically. Natural decomposition heats the mixture up to 130-140 degrees, which kills pathogens and weed seeds, leaving behind nutrient-rich matter. It’s easy to find an out-of-the-way corner for a compost pile on a large lot, but in a small yard, it can be a challenge. The compost boxes sold at garden stores may not have enough room to provide the requisite heating, and if you use material that hasn’t gone through the pathogen- and seed-de-

stroying process, you might introduce pests to your garden. Compost can be purchased in solid or liquid form at a local gardening supply store. Here are some nontoxic tactics to take in place of harsh pesticides: Rotate plants. Insects tend to favor specific plants, and their life cycles mean larvae or eggs are often in the ground waiting to attack. Thwart them by changing plants location annually. Set insect traps. Pests can’t build up a resistance to them. Traps usually use pheromones or food to attract the pests they target, so keep traps away from the gardens they are protecting. Handpick and dispose of larger pests. Use feeders and a water source to attract pest-snacking birds as your allies. Plant marigolds, garlic, and horseradish, which are known to repel pests. Apply sticky barriers (like Tanglefoot), insecticidal soaps, or horticultural oils that suffocate pests. Use an insect field guide to get acquainted with beneficial insect predators such as ladybugs and praying mantises and protect them. Employ biological agents such as nematodes, milky spore, or a bacillus. Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) attacks the digestive systems of certain insects, but it is harmless to humans, pets, and beneficial insects. BT can control mosquito larvae in a backyard pond without harming the tadpoles that will become bug-munching frogs. In addition, BT can be used on vegetables up to within one day of harvest because there are no residuals. With a little study and effort, homeowners can cut back on chemicals and still enjoy a healthy, vibrant yard. n

In Estate Planning, the Difference Is Crucial ARTICLE WRITTEN BY: WEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, INC. COURTESY OF: ERIC F. PARKER, CFP®, WEALTH ADVISOR BRANCH NAME: MORGAN STANLEY - CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA PHONE NUMBER: (434) 220-3809

he scenario plays out over and over again in attorneys’ offices: A family brings a parent’s Last Will and Testament (the “Will”) to be probated. The Will is complete and well thought out, and it takes into consideration current tax law. But under closer examination, the attorney discovers that the deceased’s estate plan doesn’t work. Why? Because a substantial portion of the parent’s assets pass under a beneficiary designation. Any asset that has a beneficiary designation is a non-probate assets and is not controlled by the Will.1 Increasingly, investors have the opportunity to name beneficiaries directly on a wide range of financial accounts, including employer-sponsored retirement savings plans, IRAs, brokerage and bank accounts, insurance policies, U.S. savings bonds, mutual funds and individual stocks and bonds.2 The upside of these arrangements is that when the account holder dies, the monies go directly to the beneficiary named on the account, bypassing the sometimes lengthy and costly probate process (although such assets are still included in the deceased’s estate for estate tax purposes). The downside, however, is that beneficiary-designat-

ed assets pass “under the radar screen” and without regard to the directions spelled out in a Will. This all too often leads to unintended consequences--individuals who you no longer wish to inherit property will receive property , and some individuals will receive more than intended and some will receive less; ultimately, there may not be enough money available to fund the bequests laid out in the Will. Consider the following hypothetical scenario: John has $600,000 in property that he intends to pass equally among his three children under his Will. John also has a life insurance policy for $150,000 that names only one of his children as the sole beneficiary. When John dies, that one child will inherit all of the life insurance money ($150,000) and onethird ($200,000) of the assets passing through John’s Will. So instead of each of John’s children receiving $250,000, one of them receives $350,000 and the other two each receive $200,000. John’s plan under this Will and his intent to treat all of his children equally has been defeated because John never updated the beneficiary designation on the insurance policy make all of his children equal beneficiaries of the insurance policy. . The same result would occur even if John’s Will had specifical-

Not naming beneficiaries or failing to update forms if a beneficiary dies can have unintended repercussions. For instance, a recent case that came before the U.S. Supreme Court illustrated how a simple beneficiary form review could have prevented undue stress and bitter divisions for one family. Specifically, in Hillman vs. Maretta, the Court ruled in 2013 that a decedent’s ex-spouse, who was still named as his beneficiary, was entitled to receive his federal life insurance benefits. The unanimous decision came despite the fact that an applicable state law specified that a divorce removes an ex-spouse as the beneficiary of a decedent’s various death benefits.3 While this case was centered on the proceeds of an insurance policy, similar, equally unfortunate scenarios caused by poor planning or benign negligence could affect IRA and other retirement account beneficiaries. For instance, if the beneficiary of an IRA is a spouse and he or she predeceases the account holder and no contingent (second in line) beneficiary(ies) are named, when the account holder dies, the IRA will then be paid pursuant to the default beneficiary provisions set forth in the IRA Agreement governing the IRA. The default beneficiaries will vary among IRA providers and you should determine the default beneficiaries under your IRA provider’s IRA Agreement. If the default beneficiary of the IRA is you estate, this would prevent your children from stretching IRA distributions (and tax-deferral benefits) out over their lifetimes

Planning Priorities Given these very real, very preventable consequences, it is important to take steps to assure consistency between your beneficiary-designated assets and the disposition of property as it is spelled out in your Will. First, make sure to communicate your plans and designations to family and beneficiaries, especially if you are making unequal distributions. This can help avoid potential conflicts between beneficiaries. Second, you should review your beneficiary designations on a regular basis--at least every few years--and/ or when certain life events occur, such as the birth of a child, the death of a loved one, a divorce or a marriage, and update the designations , as necessary,

in accordance with your wishes. Lastly, make sure to keep thorough records so that it is clear to the executor what assets have beneficiary designation and what assets should be disposed according to the terms of your Will.

hen it comes to financing your home, finding an expert is important. If you’re 62 or older you can qualify for a reverse mortgage, but where can you find an expert in such transactions? John O’Connor, the Reverse Mortgage Doctor, specializes in this product, making him an expert in the field—the one to go to. O’Connor opened this branch of American Nationwide Home Mortgage in 2011 and specializes in reverse mortgages for senior citizens. “With my experience in helping literally hundreds of people obtain a reverse mortgage, I felt it was important to concentrate on our core business, and specializing in something means to not get sidetracked by offering additional types of products that you are not

434-249-4080 joconnor@AmericanNationwide.com

an expert in servicing,” O’Connor says. Reverse mortgages are a special type of federally insured loan that allows seniors to convert the equity in their homes into cash, he notes. All proceeds are tax free and do not affect Medicare or Social Security benefits, he adds. To qualify for a reverse mortgage a homeowner must be 62 years old or older and have equity in their home. Credit scores are not looked at, and job and income verifications are not necessary, he adds. Additionally, no payments are due on a reverse mortgage for as long as one of the homeowners is still living in the home, he says. “The reverse mortgage will be paid back after the home is sold whether that is in the homeowners’ lifetime or upon their heirs settling the estate,” O’Connor adds. O’Connor helped his parents find the correct reverse mortgage about 15 years ago, researching the products to find the right kind—even before he started in this industry. At first I was skeptical about the product, but after speaking to many people—and doing my due diligence—I found that the reverse mortgage is a viable product for seniors who want to keep up with expenses, pay off debts and increase their quality of life,” he says. O’Connor says the number one misconception about reverse mortgages is that the lender takes the deed to the property, which is not the case. “The borrower remains on the deed just like with a regular, conventional mortgage.” American Nationwide Mortgage Company is a lender who funds, underwrites and closes in its own name. “We are not a broker or middle man in the transaction who has to know three or four different lender underwriting standards, which makes the process simple for everyone,” he adds. Clients deal with O’Connor from start to finish—ready to answer any questions that

arise during the process. “I will take the time to meet with you in your home or at my office, review the appraisal and will even attend the closing with you,” he notes. “Most of my work is done in Central Virginia and most of that business comes from greater Charlottesville area, although I have helped people from all over the country.” But one thing he won’t do is pressure interested clients. “I am there with my clients from start to finish, meaning I will be there to joconnor@ go over information, take the application, answer all americannationwide.com questions along the way and will evenjoconnor@ attend the closing with them,” he says. “People can americannationwide.com feel secure in knowing that they will be dealing with a mortgage professional who understands what it means to provide customer service.”
