Kluge-Ruhe to Host Outdoor Event with New Exhibitions and Local Food, Wine, Cider, Beer and Music On June 16, 2016, the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of UVA will begin its fourth annual summer series called Night at the Museum. It’s an opportunity for locals and tourists alike to explore its newest exhibitions, eat from the best of Charlottesville’s mobile food establishments, sip on the area’s beers, wines and ciders, and listen to some of our best local musical talent, all outdoors on its beautiful Pantops location overlooking Charlottesville. “Many locals have heard about Kluge-Ruhe, but just haven’t found
the time to visit yet. This event is so accessible: those who are coming for the first time will discover a diverse and fascinating culture as an added perk to what they would probably already be doing at the start of a summer weekend, which is to experience the best this town has to offer in food, libations and music,” said Education and Program Coordinator Lauren Maupin. For those who have attended in the past, things will be a little different. Local wine and hard cider will be served alongside beer, and the selection will change each month. Additionally, each night in the series has a food theme, showcasing the variety of BBQ, tacos and soul food in our local foodie culture. On June 16, the event will feature a new exhibition of works from the museum’s permanent collection, beer from Hardywood Park, wine from Delfosse Vineyards, cider from Albemarle Ciderworks, and BBQ food options. The Judy Chops, a local 7-piece Americana group, will play ‘original mountain swing’ that features their own tunes, remixed covers and mash-ups. July 21 will boast the talent of Lowland Hum, a local husband-wife duo, who will play two one-hour sets of their original melodic tunes. Beer from Starr Hill, organic wine from Loving Cup Vineyard, and Charlottesville’s best tacos will be served. The museum will unveil an outdoor yarnbombing exhibition titled Yarning History¸in celebration of Indigenous contributions to art history. Closing out the series on August 18, Devil’s Backbone beer, Early Mountain 109 AZALEA DRIVE

Clarification In our May 19th article on “Downsizing,” it was stated that Branchlands was a 55+ retirement community. There actually are two Branchlands, which often confuses people. Branchlands Retirement Village has 157 units, including condos and townhomes, which are often available for sale or rent. It is not age restricted. Branchlands Senior Independent Living Community, however, which is located next door, has 69 apartments for persons aged 55+. We apologize for not clarifying this distinction in our article.

Charlottesville’s
RUGBY AREA
is Gracious, Welcoming and Walkable
FEATURE
BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER, PHD
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
THE RUGBY AREA EXTENDS
from the University to the shops and restaurants of Barracks Road and includes several popular neighborhoods located in the north central part of Charlottesville. Many homes there date from the 1950s and 1960s with some built as early as the 1930s. The charm of living in these gracious, older homes is part of what makes this area attractive to Charlottesville buyers who appreciate the quiet tree-lined streets and the feel of a neighborhood where residents stop and talk when out walking their dogs and wave to each other when driving by in a car. A big part of this area’s appeal is its walkability. Much of it is within walking or easy biking distance of Barracks Road, the University and the Downtown Mall, making it a popular choice for those who like the option of leaving their car at home when they go to work or to their favorite restaurants, sporting events, or shopping venues. Walkscore.com rates Rugby’s Venable neighborhood as the third most walkable in Charlottesville with a walk score of 76 out of 100.
A wide range of buyers find the Rugby area attractive, from families and young professionals to telecommuters and retirees, all of whom appreciate the peace, quiet and safety of a neighborhood that doesn’t have a lot of through traffic. For retirees who are fulfilling their dream of moving back to the beautiful area they enjoyed as students, the Rugby area appeals in part because it is reminiscent of the Charlottesville they remember from way back when. Real estate activity in Rugby neighborhoods reflects the continuing improvement in the greater local area, as highlighted in the first quarter market report from CAAR that showed 14 percent more sales in our region this year compared to the first quarter of 2015, and the highest number of first quarter closed sales in nine years. The University is a continuing source of employment bringing many new homebuyers to this area and reinforcing the stability of the real estate market. However, it is not the only source and many others move here attracted by Charlottesville’s natural beauty and its history, culture and lifestyle.
Agents active in the Rugby area describe the market as healthy and homes there a good investment, including the ones requiring extensive renovation. One downside is the home prices that put it out of reach for the typical first-time buyer. For others, Rugby’s gracious lifestyle close to jobs, shopping and cultural attractions makes it a popular choice for both newcomers and existing residents looking for a home, and of course, today’s continuing low interest rates make buying them more affordable than ever.
Rugby’s Real Estate Market Like agents who work in other parts of town, those who work the Rugby area are positive about both the short and long term real estate market there. Joan Jay, with Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates, is a resident of the Rugby area and described the market in her neighborhood as “healthy and solid,” one where “properly priced houses sell well.” She said the market is more balanced now than it has been, which is “better and healthier.”
Jim McVay, an associate broker with Roy Wheeler Realty, Co., described home values in the Rugby area as “stable,” adding that there is not a lot of turnover there. People purchase homes to hold for the long term because they enjoy the local lifestyle and feel they can reasonably expect their home to increase in value. Part of what drives the market in this area is the retirees moving in from outside, McVay said. They seek out Charlottesville, attracted by its many desirable features, and then look for the best neighborhoods. Many choose the Rugby area for its properties that “rival the best homes in the north downtown area,” where neighborhoods are closer in and prices higher. While there is good value in these neighborhoods, home prices are definitely out of reach for the average firsttime buyer. Inessa Telefus, with Loring Woodriff Real Estate Associates, described what she called a fixer upper on the market in that area for $574,000. Jay told of a recent sale of a 1,900 square foot 4-bedroom, 2-bath home. An older property, it had living and

dining rooms, but no family room, as is the norm in more contemporary neighborhoods. It sold for $595,000. A similar home with an adjacent extra lot is currently listed for $690,000. At the other end of the spectrum are homes for over $1 million. “It’s a diverse area for sure,” said Karen Kehoe, with RE/MAX Regency, who explained that this is an area where many of the larger homes are older, renovated and classic, and where buyers can find listings from just under $500,000 to over $2,000,000.
The lack of through streets discourages strangers looking for a quick shortcut to another part of town, and most of the cars on the streets belong to people who live there and know each other. That makes it a pleasant place to jog or walk a dog, Jay said, and a place where in some instances kids can safely play in the street. Young families also like the quality of Venable Elementary School that serves the area, Jay added. Venable was given a score of 9 out of 10 by greatschools.org, where it also received an overall rating of five out of five stars by

community members who left glowing comments. Still another family-friendly feature of the area is the nearby 14-acre Greenleaf Park where families can have a picnic in the shelter while their children enjoy the playground. The park’s touch sensitive spray ground is a fun place where children can play in water from a mushroom fountain and interactive water pole and cool off on a hot day. Homeowners who love meeting their neighbors and attending local functions will appreciate the friendliness of many Rugby neighborhoods. Jay described her neighborhood as “closely knit,” where people know each other and gather for events like July 4th, Memorial Day, and other holidays. The neighborhood is also zoned

People choose the Rugby area for many reasons. According to Telefus the area is known for its spacious, older homes that have a lot of charm, and even the ones that are not updated are quality homes with “very solid construction.” Jay described Rugby as a very desirable part of town that lately is attracting a lot of young families. Some, but certainly not all, are connected to the University and like the neighborhood’s proximity to their place of work. Of course, downtown with its many employment opportunities is also very accessible. Part of what appeals to this group is the layout of the streets that Jay says, “loop around but don’t go through.”

strictly residential, which means there are few rental properties and most residents are owners with a long-term commitment to the neighborhood. McVay also emphasized that people who work at UVA love the proximity of the Rugby area. He explained that it was UVA people that originally built many of the homes in the area, which at that time was outside of the city boundaries. Eventually, though, between 1916 and 1963, the different neighborhoods that make up this area were annexed by the city. Today there are still UVA professors and administrators who live in Rugby, McVay said, many of who walk or ride their bikes to work. The increasing popularity of walkability suggests more and more people will seek out homes in close in areas like Rugby, pushing up prices. This is confirmed by a recent study based on data from Zillow that found that a 15 percent increase in a neighborhood’s walkability was correlated with a 12 percent average increase in its property values, but only if the area was not considered car dependent.

Rugby Attracts a Wide Range of Buyers One of the most famous Rugby buyers was Nobel Prize winning novelist, William Faulkner. Often introduced as one of the country’s greatest living novelists during his years here, he is also one the most well-known and respected people to live in Charlottesville in recent times. Towards the end of his life, he served as UVA’s first Writ-
er-in-Residence, and in 1959 he bought a house at 917 Rugby Road just three years before he died in 1962. In today’s market it is often young professional couples that buy homes in Rugby such as the ones that recently moved into Jay’s neighborhood and purchased a $600,000 home. These are individuals in their mid-30s with successful careers, one as an attorney, the other as a college professor. Another group of people that gravitate to this area are telecommuters, McVay said. Many of them are people who “can live anywhere in the country,” and choose Charlottesville. Those that come from high priced markets like Silicon Valley have significant equity in their homes allowing them to pay cash for the one they purchase in Charlottesville, and often it is for a close in, walkable property. Charlottesville’s expanding high tech sector and growing number of investment firms also contribute to the demand for close in properties, attracting employees with high paying jobs who also appreciate what the Rugby area has to offer. As more people with these interests move to the area they will be competing for the limited number of close in homes pushing prices even higher, McVay said.
Extensive Remodeling Common Many people who purchase one of the Rugby area’s older homes must be prepared to invest considerable additional amounts for remodeling and updating. McVay explained that people are willing to do so because they love
the area and want to live there, but also because they believe their purchase is a safe investment. Some years back McVay worked with a UVA grad that went out and made his
fortune but always had the intention of moving back to Charlottesville after he retired. He did just that and spent more than $1 million on the house he purchased. He then invested at least that much on renovations. McVay described another retirement-aged couple he knows who already live on Rugby Road and are ready to downsize. Fortunately for them, they have owned the lot next door for over forty years. Now that they are ready to downsize, they will build their retirement house next door to their present residence, a real testament to how much they love the area. If you are someone who likes the idea of living close to town in a gracious older home, and if you enjoy being where the action is at the University, Barracks Road or the Downtown Mall, then the Rugby area may be just what you are looking for. Talk to your agent today before Charlottesville’s brisk spring market depletes existing inventory and makes it even more difficult to find the home you want in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods. n Celeste Smucker is a writer, editor and blogger who lives near Charlottesville.

HOUSE & HOME
Real Estate in the
Digital Age BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER, PHD
O
nce upon a time only REALTORS® had access to the MLS, and buyers relied on print ads, open houses or driving through neighborhoods to get independent information. Today buyers can search popular websites like Zillow or Trulia, or access information at CAAR.com or realtor. com where they can also learn about dates and times of many open houses. The easy availability of information means a buyer’s agent must be prepared to spend time helping his or her clients accurately interpret the enormous amounts of data they find online. On the listing side, agents recognize that the term curb appeal (that once referred to the view of a home from the street) now describes online photos and virtual tours. Many agents also have become adept at using social media like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to help get the word out about their listings. For better or for worse, the Internet has changed the way we do real estate, opening up the market to buyers all over the world and demanding that agents learn the skills required to take advantage of digital marketing outlets.
How Buyers Find Homes “Most people today start their home search online, and those numbers are growing yearly” said Amy Webb with Nest Realty Group. “It’s the number one place to go for anyone who is even remotely thinking about searching for a home.” She added that buyers also go to the Internet to get information on the metropolitan area, the schools, parks and recreation and job opportunities, and to compare different neighborhoods or look at satellite images. “We see a much more educated and informed consumer,” who, Webb added, is likely to be prepared with questions about a nearby industrial facility they noticed on a satellite image, or about the potential flooding risk from a river or creek a few blocks away. Unfortunately, data from online sources is not always either accurate or complete, and agents must be prepared to help both buyers and sellers correctly interpret the information they find there. For example, it’s not uncommon for an agent to hear from a client excited about seeing a home advertised as a “for sale by owner” on one of these sites. Often, though, the client is disappointed when their agents learns the
home is sold or was withdrawn from the market months ago. Listing agents have similar issues when working with sellers who find online estimates of what their home is worth. Unfortunately, the figures are based on averages and often omit critical details about similar, nearby sales. The result may be a price that does not accurately reflect the home’s true value. In contrast, agents are familiar with the neighborhood, have been inside many of the homes and can speak to their condition and location in a way that no third party site can do. They also have access to details that may have affected a home’s final sales price such as that the seller offered a $2,500 carpet allowance or had already moved out and was anxious to close. Understanding and communicating the nuances of a local market to both buyers and sellers is a big part of the agent’s job.
Most Agents Now Market Online “I can’t imagine not having a website,” said Karen Kehoe with RE/MAX Regency. She believes prospects gravitate to sources with the most complete information. She explained that today
that also means using social media to communicate information about her listings as well as housing tips and real estate info. “Everyone should have a personal and business site, and the business site is where you advertise your homes,” she said. Part of having an effective online presence is showcasing each property appropriately, Webb explained, and that means using excellent professional photos. First, though, homes must be in their best condition since in most cases consumers will see pictures online before they ever go inside. If they don’t like the pictures they may choose to look elsewhere. Before the photographer arrives, sellers need to declutter as cameras are “distracted by small objects,” Webb said. Sprucing up the landscaping is also a must as the first view will likely be of the home’s exterior. Even if it is an older home it still needs to look “clean, bright and appealing,” Webb said. Occasionally buyers even purchase a home based only on online resources and assistance from their agent. Todd McGee, with Nest Realty Group, once sold a house to some clients from overseas that purchased the home and based their decision on the photos, virtual tour and agent video. They actually never visited their new home until after it closed.
One Stop Shop As consumers rely more and more on information they find from online sources, agents are responding with websites that are one-stop shops with direct access to the database of homes for sale as well as lists of resources such as school information. REALTOR® blogs also can be an important consumer resource. McGee and Webb blog regularly on topics of interest to homebuyers and sellers including updates on listings and neighborhoods as well as information such as how to clean a jetted tub, or how to spot termite damage, or understand your credit score.
A New Way to Do Real Estate The Internet is changing the way REALTORS® do business, making them into what Webb calls “curators of great information.” The result is consumers who are better informed about some of the most significant financial decisions of their lives. Call your REALTOR® today to get started. n Celeste Smucker is a writer, blogger and editor who lives near Charlottesville.
