What’s Happening Around Town? ACC Hockey Championships Coming To Town! Commissioner Mike Walley announces The ACC Hockey League will be presenting the 20th Annual Championship Tournament in Charlottesville at the Main Street Arena, 19-21 February. The Tournament will be hosted by the #2 Seed, and two-time ACC Tournament Champion, University of Virginia,

for the first time in more than a decade. NC State has had a perfect season at 10-0 in league play and will compete as the #1 Seed. UVa finished the season at 8-2 and will be seeded #2. The remainder of the field that will be competing and filling out the brackets are: George Washington University, Georgetown University, University of North Carolina, Duke University, Elon University, and UNC-Charlotte. Georgetown dominates the record for the most ACC Tournament Championships with 6, followed by a number of universities with 2. So the initial 4:45pm Friday match-up between UVA and Georgetown will prove to be a hardfought, intensely contested game on the ice. To add to the already competitive nature of the game, Georgetown eliminated UVa in the previous tournament semi-finals one year ago. Ray Caddell of Big Ray and the Kool Kats will be playing the national anthem on his trumpet for the expected, sell-out crowd. The Tournament Champion will receive an invitation to the National ACHA regional tournament in northern Virginia the following week. The ACCHL invites all to come to the Main Street Arena next weekend to cheer on your alma mater or your favorite university team. All game times are on the Main Street Arena website at www.mainstarena.com $20/weekend, adult $10/weekend, child or free, if wearing ANY hockey jersey for college students and younger. For more information visit: www.acchockey. com or Roger Voisinet 434 981 1076.

The Builder Partnerships Achievement Award is an independent customer satisfaction measurement that is available to all builders, not just those in certain markets or of a certain size. The award does not rank one builder against another but recognizes all builders who achieve a benchmark of customer satisfaction, which gives homebuyers a truer measure of a company’s quality. Atlantic Builders will be opening a new community called Spring Creek in Charlottesville in the coming months. Please contact TJ Murray at 540-3695369 for more information.

“In these days of increasing demand for homes, builders must be focused on customer satisfaction, and the best builders are,” says Monica Wheaton, CEO of Builder Partnerships. “The Builder Partnerships Achievement Award for Customer Satisfaction recognizes those companies that have high standards, company culture, and processes in place to deliver what is most important to homebuyers—quality construction and a great buying experience. Atlantic Builders certainly fits that bill.” Atlantic Builders has built a company culture focused on customer satisfaction. In addition, it has worked hard to build processes that encourage suppliers and trade contractors to support that effort. To be considered for this recognition, applicants needed to have at least 88% of homebuyers say they were willing to refer the company to friends or family. Once clearing that hurdle, the company’s customer service and referral rate were further evaluated in an indepth review of its processes and documentation. Builders scoring at least 100 points on their evaluation scores earned Highest Distinction.

ommercial real estate agents in our local area are optimistic about 2016, an opinion echoing the annual report from Deloitte and the National Association of Realtors on the national market outlook. The report states that expectations for growth reflect “steady job gains and stable leasing demand,” the authors believe will support continued expansion. While price gains may slow over time, “income flows generated from new and existing leases,” should keep investors happy throughout the year. Prospects for our market are also promising with areas like Downtown (where vacancy rates are near zero) being especially strong. While there are still vacancies in suburban areas, those markets are stabilizing due to growing demand and minimal new construction. Commercial market gains reflect growth in the local residential market that also continues to improve. At the end of 2015, CAAR reported a 10.6 percent gain in homes sold compared to 2014. There was also a 16.5 percent decrease in inventory during that same time making it the lowest it has been

REAL ESTATE Market BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER, PHD

since the end of 2005 before the start of the recession. All of that bodes well for Charlottesville’s commercial market in the coming year.

“2016 will be a good year,” said Bob Kahn with Bob Kahn Realty and Investment, “in which we will continue to see normal market activity.” All good news.

Downtown Commercial Market Continues to be Lively Long time commercial agent Bill Howard, President and Broker at Real Estate III Commercial Properties, described the market as active and “running smoothly.” The Downtown rental market is “in fine shape,” he said, and while there are a few vacancies at the City Commonwealth Center, there are rumors about a new bank moving into the location that once housed the UVA Credit Union. Benton Downer, with Downer and Associates, described our local market as “unique,” in that it doesn’t fluctuate as much as some others. He also referenced the Downtown market as the strongest in our area describing it as the place where “major mid to large size companies like to be.” He described Downtown as an appealing place for employees who, when they want to take a break, can walk around the Mall and can enjoy decent food when they go to lunch. Of course, after hours, when they get off work, employees can enjoy the many entertainment venues available there. Downtown has a “good vibe,” he said and “is a unique experience for our community.”

Suburban Areas Stabilizing “The suburban office market is starting to stabilize,” Downer said. As there is no new building at the moment, vacancy rates are decreasing as “existing product is assimilated,” he added. Kahn called the suburban market “active,” despite the inconvenience of the roadwork on 29 North. However, he believes that most recognize that the disruption has a “finite time frame,” and take a longer view of the benefits. He described suburban tenants as companies that appreciate the convenience of easy parking and who don’t like the congestion of Downtown. Downer described the suburban retail sector as relatively strong as many

“There is no vacancy Downtown,” said Mason Graham with CBRE, a situation that is likely to persist for some time. There are projects in the works to alleviate this situation, though it will be awhile before new tenants can move in. One of these is Market Plaza on Water Street, which recently got a green light from the city on its plans. The new project will include a combination of residential units, office and retail space, and an open-air plaza that will serve as the new home for the city market. While this project will ease the vacancy situation in Downtown, the new space will not be available until sometime in 2018. “Downtown continues to be robust with heightened demand especially for office space,” Kahn said. He added that “retail is holding its own.” He described Downtown as the preferred location for IT folks and technology-based companies. “All of these companies are doing well and ever in need of more space,” he said. These kinds of tech companies attract a younger group of employees, many of them millennials, who especially appreciate the Downtown location.

tenants relocate to new, larger quarters. A good example is the Kroger store with plans to move across Hydraulic into its new location previously occupied by Giant and then Ashley Furniture in Seminole Square. Kroger’s tentative move date is summer of 2016 after they add an addition that will double the location’s current size. They will continue to own the property at their present location with plans to lease it to a new tenant. Another new tenant at Seminole Square is the Charlottesville Albemarle SPCA Rummage store that recently relocated there from its long time location on Preston Avenue. The SPCA is expanding into new space that was previously the home of Downtown Athletic Store. Construction at Rio Road and 29 North has “bothered the market,” Howard explained, but he added that further north at Hollymead, everything is “leased up.” Other commercial activity in that area includes the purchase of Better Living Building Supply’s location by Malloy Ford, Howard said. Better Living’s customers will be able to find them at Zion Crossroads. Further north towards Ruckersville, Bill Gentry with Jefferson Land and Realty recently sold a property north of Sheetz on 29 North. The owner is now breaking ground in preparation for a new Family Dollar store in that location. Gentry also described roadwork underway that will open up more commercial development on 29 North past Ashwood Boulevard. This 20-acre mixed-use development, that is one to two years out, will lease commercial space and offer apartments and condos. In Stanardsville, The Palette Art Gallery recently relocated to a new home on Spotswood Trail, Gentry said. There is what he called “a thriving art community in Greene County” reflected in the 120 people that showed up at the

Wegmans and 5th Street Station will “make a huge contribution,” to the area south of town, Howard said, since there is nothing comparable out there. Downer said that 5th Street Market will “transform our community.” He predicts that people from the east end of town who have been driving to Zion Crossroads to avoid the traffic on 29 North, will be willing to drive to 5th Street Station when it opens due to the ease of access off the interstate. At the far south of our region is Nelson County, now home to Blue Toad Hard Cider located on the property that was once Wintergreen Winery on Beech Grove Road.

Gentry predicts “a real uptick in the commercial market as we move closer to spring.” He explained that the cost of money is still reasonable and when you combine this with the current very reasonable cost of land, investors can benefit from some of the “best buys in the last eight to ten years.” South of town there continues to be a lot of excitement about the opening of 5th Street Station with its new anchor tenant, Wegmans, an upscale family-owned grocery store out of Rochester, New York. Wegmans is known for its quality, reasonable prices and giving back to the community. A recent corporate level press release announced that customers at 51 stores raised $1.84 million during their fall hunger relief program, an 8 percent increase compared to their 2014 fundraiser.

picture for Charlottesville’s commercial market is positive. With low vacancy rates in many parts of town, a greatly recovered residential market, and new projects in the works, the future continues to look promising. Motel behind CarMax. The county has approved the preliminary site plan for this 40,000 square foot office space that will consist of condos for rent or for sale. Another Virginia Land project on Rolkin Road is 50 percent leased, Melton said. While several of the new tenants are in the medical field, he has also leased a space to a Mortgage Company based in Fairfax. He explained that the building is getting leased up without any advertising, and word of mouth only. Part of the draw for medical based businesses is the nearness of Martha Jefferson Hospital plus easy access from the interstate. Melton is talking to one such potential new tenant, a medical office that treats seriously ill patients and wants to open

a second location in our area. In addition to easy access from the interstate they also appreciate the availability of a ground floor location that saves their patients from having to navigate stairs or elevators. In Ivy and Crozet, on the west side of town, there is no vacancy, Graham said, adding that “there are some new projects in the works out there.”

Technology and Venture Capital Boost Commercial Growth The majority of the new leases and sales in our commercial market represent growth that is happening “organically” within Charlottesville, Kahn explained. “Many are entrepreneurs involved in cutting edge technology based industries, and many have roots in our area either by birth or because they were once students at UVA and Darden.” These entrepreneurs have a desire to “get back to Charlottesville to both live and work here,” Kahn continued. Some of these local tech companies are also beneficiaries of the large and growing amount of venture capital flowing into our area. UVA Today reported that “The National Venture Capital Association recently ranked Charlottesville as the fastest-growing venture capital ecosystem in the United States.” Venture funding for local companies grew to an impressive $27.7 million from just $250,000 between 2010 and 2015. The overall picture for Charlottesville’s commercial market is positive. With low vacancy rates in many parts of town, a greatly recovered residential market, and new projects in the works, the future continues to look promising. n Celeste Smucker is a writer, blogger and author who lives near Charlottesville.

f you’ve ever bought a house, you know how important it is to obtain a good inspection prior to closing. Even the smallest home is a complex structure with many parts that must work together to assure your comfort and safety, and most buyers have limited knowledge of how these systems operate. For that reason, an inspection is an essential part of the home buying process. In fact, just about every purchase contract is subject to an inspection, which means you have the right to pay an inspector of your choice to evaluate all aspects of the home’s visible construction elements and systems.

Professional Inspectors What makes someone a professional inspector? A qualified inspector has a background in the industry, explained Melody Wright with Structure Examinations, a Charlottesville area home inspection company. Her husband, Tim, has lots of “hands on experience,” as he was a professional contractor for years before starting his home inspection business in 1998. “A good inspector recognizes that codes and methods are always changing,” Wright said. She gave the example of solar and geothermal technologies, both of which have become popular in recent years. A qualified inspector must stay on top of what is current in the way of technology. He or she must also understand the building code and how it applies to homes of different ages and be able to recognize potential hazards. She referenced possible wiring hazards due to an inexperienced person’s do it yourself project that could cause over-heating if not caught. All of this requires the inspector to view parts of the house where most people wouldn’t want to go, she added. Some good examples are attics, roofs or crawl spaces. A home can look great to buyers, inexperienced in construction, and still have looming issues due to faulty roofing or improper run-off that causes foundation problems due to poor drainage. While these kinds of home inspections are almost always conducted on resale homes, Wright explained they are becoming more common for people buying new construction. This often involves two to three inspections at different stages of the building process. Even though the county conducts mandatory inspections to assure the home is being built to code, they may not be as thorough as your own inspector, Wright explained. And while the builder also oversees the work, he or she can’t be on site continuously

HOME INSPECTOR BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER, PHD

and may miss something. Having your own inspector is a way to assure peace of mind about your new home.

Negotiating the Repairs If the inspector finds a problem, your agent will work with the seller’s agent to help both parties come to agreement about how to resolve the issue before closing. Usually this involves the seller agreeing to make repairs and provide you with proof a qualified contractor complete them in a timely manner. As a professional familiar with this process, your agent can help successfully resolve most issues that arise so that you can move on to closing successfully. On those rare occasions when

the negotiation fails, you have the right to pull out of the contract. If you are a seller who wants to avoid a sticky negotiation process, you might want to consider having your home pre-inspected. That way if the inspector finds something major, you can fix it before your home goes under contract. The buyers will almost certainly conduct their own inspection, but you can rest easier knowing they aren’t likely to find something that will derail the process. Also, when you uncover problems up front, you are not under pressure to do quick repairs in order to meet an arbitrary deadline. Instead you can take your time soliciting bids from several reliable contractors saving

When looking for an inspector, start by asking your agent for a referral. Most REALTORS® have years of experience and can give you a list of several of the best inspectors for you to choose from.

Limits of the Inspection It’s important to realize that an inspector is only liable for what they can see. While they can test for wiring or plumbing problems, they can’t for example, see behind walls to determine if there are problems there. In addition, while your home inspector can tell you about visible damage due to insects, they are not termite inspectors. That is a separate inspection carried out by a pest control professional and paid for by the seller. Similarly, if you are buying a home in a rural area, in most cases your seller is required to provide the results of an inspection of the well and septic, also at their expense. n Celeste Smucker is a writer, blogger and author.
