CAAR Publishes Second Quarter 2014 Home Sales

C

AAR Second Quarter 2014 Market Report shows 856 homes sold in Greater Charlottesville, resulting in 5.0% growth from last year and up from 426 in the first three months of 2014. This quarter’s figures also display a healthy 13% in median sales price gain ($276,500 over $244,250) and a rapid 11% decrease in days on the market since the start of the year (112 versus 126).

Charlottesville Area 2nd Quarter 2014 Highlights:

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

• Closed sales were up 5.0% from Q2-2013 with 856 homes sold in Q2-2014.

• New listing activity in Q2-2014 picked up 10.4% over Q2-2013,

resulting in a 6.7% increase in active inventory at quarter’s end compared to the same time last year.

• Consistent with Q2-2013, half of the homes sold in the 2nd Quarter were on the market 40 days or less.

0.6% higher than the same quarter last year, this increase coupled with the 5.0% increase in total sales, resulted in a 5.7% increase in sold dollar volume versus Q2-2013. The total sold dollar volume of $284,773,638 was the highest quarterly total since 2007.

“We have been looking forward to this second quarter report, especially after the long winter that bit into our first quarter stats. This second quarter shows us a solid market with healthy growth in nearly every market segment.

We are up fairly significantly in median sale price and number of sales compared to the same time last year, and have more than made up for a slightly slower, early spring. Buyers are enjoying a little better inventory and sellers are undoubtedly happy with fewer days on the market,” says CAAR 2014 President John Ince.

Sales Price & Inventory of Homes for Sale Four of the six jurisdictions saw yearover-year gains in median sales price in the 2nd Quarter. Greene ($245,000) led the region in price gains with a 23.2% increase. Charlottesville ($275,450) and Fluvanna ($191,250) had the next

highest growth, up 4.8% and 3.4% respectively. Albemarle ($329,000) had a modest gain of 1.2%. The median sales price in Nelson dropped 6.0% to $229,000. The Louisa median sales price was down over $30,000 from Q22013 to $170,000, representing a 15.1% year-over-year decrease.

The Q2-2014 median sales price was the highest 2nd Quarter level since 2008 and was only 6.8% lower than the median sales price of $296,550 in Q22007, which was the highest 2nd Quarter level in the last ten years.

Similar to closed sales, new pending sales in the Charlottesville area also saw an increase in the 2nd Quarter compared to last year. The 1,062 new pending sales represented a 3.0% increase over Q2-2013. Fluvanna led the region in year-over-year gains in new pendings for the second consecutive quarter with a 25.2% increase. Greene (+6.8%) and Charlottesville (+6.7%) also had notable gains in new pending sales versus Q2-2013. Nelson (-17.7%) and Albemarle (-0.8%) were the only jurisdictions with lower purchase activity levels, though Albemarle’s 526 new pending sales were only four fewer than Q2-2013.

Market Overview Taking into consideration the prolonged winter of the first quarter where home sales were even compared to 2013, sales activity climbed 5.0% in Q2-2014 compared to Q2-2013. There were 8.8% more homes sold than the five-year 2nd Quarter average (856 versus 787). The year-to-date sales total of 1,378 is 2.6% higher than the same period last year, with year-over-year sales gains in four of the first six months of 2014. Though the average sales price in the 2nd Quarter ($332,679) was only

Local REALTOR® Biking 1,000+ Miles Across Virginia to Raise Funds, Awareness for Keeping Seniors Safe in Their Homes Drake Van de Castle Raising $10,000 during July ‘Bike for Seniors’ Journey Halfway through his Bike for Seniors campaign, longtime Crozet resident and REALTOR® Drake Van de Castle continues to pick up speed and energy from the donors and supporters he’s met so far. Van de Castle is covering more than 1,000 miles on his bike tour of Virginia delivering a special message about helping seniors make critically needed repairs to their homes to allow them to age in place. The resounding successes of the local partnership between Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS®, AHIP and Blue Ridge Home Builders Association to address this need prompted Van de Castle to take the idea on the road and work to engage with other groups about starting their own programs.

“The real estate community has rallied behind Seniors Safe at Home from the start in the spring of 2012, and Drake has been among our most active volunteers,” John Ince, CAAR President and associate broker at Nest Realty Group, said.

The first week included stops at Williamsburg Area Association of REALTORS®, Southside Virginia Association of REALTORS®, Richmond Association of REALTORS®, and Fredericksburg Area Association of REALTORS®. One of the biggest bursts of support came

from meeting with Virginia Association of REALTORS® Chief Executive Officer Terrie Suit. Van de Castle plans to meet with leaders from Dulles, Northern Virginia, Blue Ridge, and many others in the second half of his tour.

“I am thrilled with all the positive conversations with the local REALTOR® associations and stoked about all the potential with the state support to raise awareness about this important issue,” Van de Castle, associate broker at Sloan Manis Real Estate Partners, said. “The REALTOR® community has been huge with the support, and it looks like it will continue as I go across the state. The bonus is that I have also been able to get some wonderful photos of our beautiful commonwealth.”

The month-long trip that began Tuesday, July 1 in Chincoteague, VA and ends Thursday, July 31 in Bristol, VA combine some of his biggest passions: bicycling, photography, and helping seniors live safe at home. Van de Castle has several thank-you gifts for making donations to his cause at www.bikeforseniors.com, including a selection of his personal photography.

“Drake brings a wonderful energy to our mission of helping seniors stay safe, healthy and comfortable in their homes for as long as possible. It is inspiring that he is taking our program on the road and planting seeds in other communities,” Jennifer Jacobs, AHIP Executive Director, said. “We are excited to track his progress and cheer him on.”

Donations are welcome at www. bikeforseniors.com, and you can follow his updates on his Bike for Seniors Facebook page, as well as the Albemarle Home Improvement Program Facebook page. n

C HARLOT TESVILLE NAMED

Walkable City

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

S

everal years ago Walk Score.com named Charlottesville the Most Walkable City in the Commonwealth of Virginia. What exactly does that mean?

“A Walk Score,” explains REALTOR® Jim Duncan of Nest Realty, “is a ranking algorithm for a home and it depends on pretty much everything people want to walk to—grocery stores, entertainment, schools, restaurants, you name it.

The idea was developed quite a few years ago and is now becoming more popular.”

According to the Walk Score.com website, its mission is to promote walkable neighborhoods. “Walkable neighborhoods are one of the simplest and best solutions for the environment, our health, and our economy,” they say. “We believe that walkable neighborhoods with access to public transit, better commutes, and proximity to the people and places you love are the key to a happier, healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.”

Anyone can plug in any street address in the country and be shown a walkability score from 0 to 100. Part of Walk Score.com’s effort is aimed at the real estate and apartment rental markets. “Our vision is for every property listing to read: Beds: 3 Baths: 2 Walk Score: 84,” the website continues. ”We want to make it easy for people to evaluate walkability and transportation when choosing where to live.”

“Studies show the higher the walk score the more valuable a property is to buyers,” Duncan, the REALTOR®, continues. “People see this walkability as a desirable part of enjoying a home because it allows them to save money because they’re not spending it on gas and maintenance.” It also avoids time wasted sitting in traffic.

Janice Kavanagh, an Associate Broker with Nest Realty, is a good example of someone who deliberately chose walkability when she

Walking with Others If you don’t have a dog, you can always find human walkers in the area. A visit to www.meetup.com, then a Charlottesville search for “walk” or “hike” yields groups including Cville Walks, Trail Dames of Central Virginia, the Shenandoah Trail Hikers and others. Listings include information on upcoming walks and hikes for as few as 2 people.

There’s even a Facebook page for Walk Charlottesville.

the location is a car-dependent neighborhood with almost all errands requiring a car.

The city of Charlottesville is launching a major effort to build new loop trails for walking and biking as well as longer connections between parks, schools, and other public places. The 2014 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update is the next phase of increasing and enhancing bicycle, pedestrian and multi-use trail connections within the city and can be viewed at www.Charlottesville.org.

The city is also upgrading a number of crosswalks with specific signage and lights embedded in the pavement to alert drivers. “I really like these light-flicker cross walks,” declares Wes Carr, a REALTOR® with Bill May Realty. “More than once I haven’t seen someone because it’s dark or raining, but I stopped for those flickering lights. It’s the greatest thing that Charlottesville does for safe walking.”

There’s Walkability, Then There’s Simply Walking

moved to Charlottesville. “I’d lived in Boston,” she says, “and when I came here, I opted to be in Belmont because it’s so close to downtown. I can walk to work, to entertainment, to restaurants and coffee shops.”

She notes that many area neighborhoods are aiming to become walkable.

“There are vacant lots around town being bought up to put a couple houses on,” she says. “These little ‘pocket communities’ are selling well.”

Another example she mentions is the 24 single-family homes going in along Water Street near the new City Walk apartments. Those apartments are part of the high-density living choices, also including condominiums, being built within walking distance of the Downtown Mall.

“Another sign of this close-in desirability,” Kavanagh continues, “is that quite a few homes in the Belmont area are on the market for just a few days before they receive multiple offers.”

How Does The Charlottesville Region Measure Up For Walkability?

Walkability varies greatly in our area. For example, Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall is deemed a “walker’s paradise” with a Walk Score of 100 out of 100, meaning daily errands can be run without a car.

Keswick, on the other hand, has a Walk Score of 6 out of 100 meaning

Where Can I Walk?

Many people simply walk in their own neighborhoods without a specific destination. But for people seeking some new paths, the Internet is an excellent resource. www.mapmywalk.com/us/charlottesville-va This site has maps for more than 450 walks taken by participants around town, including some specifically for walking with dogs, others for running as well as walking. Some are as short as .2 miles while others are closer to 5 miles. Some are loops, while others are one way. Includes elevations and cross-section of each walk. www.RivannaTrails.org The mission of the Rivanna Trails Foundation (RTF) is to create and protect footpaths, trails, and greenways within the Rivanna River watershed. It’s a volunteer organization supporting community-wide trails to serve as a resource for nature-related recreation and environmental education.

The website includes a link to a map of the highly popular handicapped-accessible Rivanna Trail encircling Charlottesville. This paved trail starts at Riverview Park and meanders north along the Rivanna River, then on around the city. It’s the walkway attracting the most use in the City, often including large groups of people and dog walkers. Much of the trail is possible because of landowners who permit a public easement on their properties. Many devoted volunteers meet each month at the RTF tool shed for a work day. www.monticello.org A particularly appealing walk is the Saunders-Monticello Trail which has a limited parking area at Kemper Park just off the Thomas Jefferson Parkway (Route 53) and a larger parking area accessed via Dairy Barn Road off Route 20 opposite Piedmont Virginia Community College. This trail, on property owned or leased by the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, has elevated boardwalks, leafy paths, a pond, an overlook, and an arboretum of native trees and shrubs. It also connects to other trails on the property. Search for “trails” on the Monticello website for more information and a downloadable map. www.Charlottesville.org The City’s website lists a number of walking options with maps. It also lists which trails are ADA accessible, which trails are in the process of becoming ADA accessible, and those that are not ADA accessible because of uneven surfaces, slopes, or lack of an accessible way foot crossing streams.

Apart from the Walk Score for a home, there is also just plain walking for health, recreation, and keeping the dog happy. Many developments that are too far from shopping, schools, and other destinations to have a high Walk Score, are still eminently walkable. They may have sidewalks, pathways, play areas, or even dog parks that are good for walking. Neighborhood schools are another option for walking, including some facilities with tracks.

In some cases, developments include dedicated walking paths and trails with markers or notations indicating distance traveled. Others, such as Foxcroft just south of Charlottesville, have their own walking trails and often these connect to an extended trail network. Foxcroft’s own trails, for example, meet up with the Biscuit Run Trail, a somewhat rough, unpaved byway used by walkers

and bicyclists. This trail runs behind the Mill Creek neighborhood north under I-64 to meet the Rivanna Trail at the Bent Creek Road Bridge off Fifth Street Extended.

Many other developments make a point to have walking paths within their grounds and to connect to nearby paths and trails. In the Pantops area, for example, Ashcroft has a number of walking trails. Although not open to the public, the Glenmore development east of Charlottesville offers its resi-

dents many trails for walking, biking and horseback riding.

One of the many reasons Charlottesville is a nice place to live is its well known reputation as a health-conscious city and this is definitely reflected in the number of peon ple walking all around town.

o, this article is not going to quote Robert Frost, but it is going to talk about fences. For homeowners seeking a little more privacy or to keep children and animals in (or out), it will discuss when you can and cannot put up a fence and the best materials to use for your construction. ”There’s definitely a lot to think about when you’re installing a fence,” declares Bethany Gonzales, the third generation working at a local fence company founded by her grandparents. Her father is Joe Phillips, who operates as Joe Phillips Fence in Madison as well as Charlottesville Fence Company. Says Gonzales with a chuckle, “I do everything but install the fences.”

Before you even start shopping for a fence, she recommends checking with your local zoning and planning agency to see if there are specific rules on fences. In addition, many homeowner associations have bylaws dictating height, materials, and locations.

“If you’re close to a road, especially on a corner,” Gonzales continues, “you

can’t do a solid fence that would hide traffic. You even have to plan about where the plow might push the snow.”

Once you’ve decided to go ahead, it’s time to consider the kind of fencing you want. Nowadays fences are made from a variety of materials and can be installed at any height, although four feet or six feet are pretty standard.

• Chain link is durable and provides security by keeping animals and children in. (Or, in some cases, keeping them out.) Some chain link is vinyl coated and slats can be used to add privacy. While chain link is often the most cost-effective, many people

find it institutional in appearance and prefer more attractive boundaries around their homes.

• Wood is classic, whether as a decorative picket fence, post-and-rail installation, or a solid stockade fence.

Wood can be stained or painted to compliment the property. More expensive than chain link, but a handy homeowner can usually install a wooden fence.

• Vinyl fencing comes in a variety of colors and in styles similar to wood including pickets, panels, or rails.

More expensive than wood, but it’s durable and maintenance free.

Fences Are a Must for Pool Safety Pool and Spa owners are required by law to install a childproof barrier at least five feet from the edge of any in-ground, on-ground, or aboveground pool or hot tub that can hold water more than two feet deep. There may be additional specific requirements which can differ from one jurisdiction to another regarding pool alarms, self-latching gates, and other safety features.

General fencing requirements are: • Fence must be at least 4 feet tall.

• No more than a 2-inch gap below the fence.

• Openings must be small enough that a 4-inch sphere cannot pass through.

• The fence can have no decorations that could be used to climb over it.

• The maximum mesh for a chain link fence is 1¼ inches.

Greenfield, who lives in Albemarle County, suggests plantings along an invisible fence line as an additional visual reminder. “I have bayberry plants, and trees close to my line,” she says. “Invisible fences are not inexpensive, but they work. The Invisible Fence Company here in town installed mine and they do a good job of warranting their work.”

• Aluminum can be manufactured to look like traditional wrought-iron fencing complete with ornamental gates. It comes in a variety of colors and it’s low maintenance and durable. The cost is comparable to vinyl.

Once you’ve chosen your fence, Gonzales says, “surveys are definitely a good thing to have when you have a small lot to be sure the fence is on your own property.” With a large property a survey isn’t so important, she says, because you can easily build the fence inside the property line.

She also suggests consulting with neighbors if the fence will be between your properties. ”A lot of times I recommend that they write something up or at least have a verbal agreement in case there are any damages to property when putting up the fence,” she says. She adds that neighbors will often share the cost, but not always.

And of course Gonzales has a fence.

“I’m working weekends on my own fence,” she says. “It’s aluminum across the front so that’s prettier where people can see it. I’m doing a post-andwire in the back which is more cost effective and almost invisible against the landscape.” n Glenn Pribus lives with his wife in Albemarle County near Charlottesville.

“To keep my dogs safe and from wandering, I chose to put an invisible fence around the entire perimeter my property,” says REALTOR® Sara Greenfield, Associate Broker for RE/MAX Realty Specialists and Principal Broker for Charlottesville Fine Homes and Properties. “They learned that going past it was not a good option, although I must say that if the collar battery is low it’s not as effective.”
