Currently, active listings from Q3 2016 represent 6.2 months of supply, down from 8.9 months at the end of Q3 2015. “The market is saying in essence, more buyers, less inventory, things are moving quicker. So that is what the market is saying here locally,” said Dr. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of Research at the National Association of REALTORS®, at an Oct. 13th exclusive presentation for CAAR REALTOR® members. “While the inventory continues to remain low, our market activity is very brisk,” said 2016 CAAR President Donna Patton. “This is seen by a stable median sales price and significant increase in homes sold compared to this time last year.”
Days on Market (DOM)
• Greater Charlottesville median sales price remains stable at $273,864 (-0.2%).
• This quarter reflects steady growth in land sales, driven by the 5-acre or less category.
compared to last year, climbing 30% to a total of 131 for the quarter. Home sales in Greene increased from 59 to 76, a 29% gain. Nelson was the one exception to the region’s sales growth as its Q3 total dropped slightly to 58 sales compared to 59 last year.
resented a 20.9% increase versus the 834 homes sold in Q3 2015, the highest third quarter total since 2007. The median sales price in Greater Charlottesville reached $273,864 in the 3rd Quarter. This was 0.2% lower than Q3 2015 median of $274,450.

The median DOM in the 3rd Quarter was 36 days, down by eight days from the Q3 2015 level. Five out of six localities showed improvement in median DOM. Charlottesville’s median DOM decreased by 22 days to 18. Nelson was the one exception as its median DOM increased by 58 days to 164 days. “The median days on the market can be attributed to the limited inventory seen in our market,” said Anthony McGhee, CAAR President-Elect. “This trend will likely continue into the end of the year.”

Magic
FEATURE
EXPERIENCE THE
LAKE
MONTICELLO BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER
If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.
CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM
OF LIVING ON THE WATER AT
I
—Loren Eisley
f you love the idea of living on the water, but don’t want to give up easy access to Charlottesville’s many amenities, talk to your agent about Lake Monticello. This popular gated community in nearby Fluvanna County comes with a resort lifestyle accessible to everyone from first timers needing a starter home to move-up buyers longing for an elegant waterfront property where they can dock their boat and enjoy the view. While the main attraction here is the beautiful lake, residents of this community also enjoy an easy commute to town along with lower home prices than are available in Charlottesville and Albemarle. Lake Monticello offers swimming, golfing, tennis and boating, all big draws for families, young professionals, telecommuters and retirees many of whom also appreciate two other
features of lake living, the laid back atmosphere and the security that comes with being in a gated community. The lake is also a popular place for second home buyers who want a place to go on weekends and get away from the dayto-day stress of their lives. However, after they experience the magic of being at the lake, many decide to sell their other home and enjoy their vacation lifestyle full time. This popular lake community was originally the brain child of a group of developers who, back in the 1960s, envisioned a man-made lake surrounded by a residential community. Eventually the developers turned the community’s management over to the Home Owners Association (HOA), and by the early 1980s, Lake Monticello had developed into a modest 400 lot subdivision. According to the HOA website the original lake had 35 to 40 feet of water, but it got a big boost from torrential rains that came with Hurricane Camille in 1969. This in turn weakened a nearby dam and caused an influx of water from another lake. Today the
350-acre lake has 22.5 miles of shoreline surrounded by 4,200 homes and a large cross section of people lucky enough to enjoy the Lake Monticello vacation lifestyle. For buyers who want to join them, now is the time. The market is rebounding strongly, but prices are still reasonable and combined with low interest rates that means many good deals are still available. But don’t wait. Agents are reporting inventory shortages and multiple offers on listings, all of which will begin to push up prices and make this vacation lifestyle increasingly inaccessible as time goes by.
Lake Monticello’s Real Estate Market The third quarter market report from CAAR shows a 30 percent increase in home sales in Fluvanna County compared to the same time last year and these results are reflected in the optimism expressed by agents who work the Lake Monticello market. “The Lake market is doing so much better,” said Maggie Gunnels Fornecker with Better Homes and Gardens
Real Estate III. She received eight offers on her listings last month, four in one weekend. Six of the eight offers were multiple offers on the same properties. She described the market as the best she’s seen in ten years. “There are 180 homes sold to date this year, 2016, as compared to 160 homes sold to date this time last year,” said Vicki Wilson, with Monticello Country Realtors. She added that this year has also seen the sale of 18 lots, a sign that people have plans to build. “Lots are the lowest prices they have been in years,” Wilson said urging buyers with plans to build to jump in and take advantage of this opportunity while it lasts. “The market has definitely picked up since August,” said Patsy Strong with Strong Team Realtors. “With a vibrant fall market already in place, I’m pleased to see more higher priced homes now going under contract. With the contracts we have pending, I expect 2016 to end on a high note! And I am anticipating a very strong start in 2017,” she added.

Why Lake Monticello Lower prices compared to what are found in Charlottesville and Albemarle make the resort lifestyle available to a wide range of families willing to make the short commute. Residents also enjoy a variety of essential services that come with living there. All residents are required to be members of the HOA and to pay annual dues that cover amenities such as common ground maintenance, trash pickup and snow removal. Fees also cover the security gate and a full time police force. A fire and rescue squad stands ready to help just outside the gate and in the event of a fire or medical emergency, they and the police are quick to respond. Wilson described a winter night when she had an emergency at her home that prompted a call to the rescue squad. Even though the local roads were closed, help was there within five minutes. The close-in location is also a plus. “Buyers are willing to drive 30 minutes to work in order to enjoy the lifestyle of the lake,” Wilson said. She added that families with children also appreciate the quality of the local schools. Recently Fluvanna’s high school was one of 113 in the state to receive a medal from US News & World Report based on student levels of college readiness. “Buyers are attracted to Lake Monticello because of the quality of life offered by the community and the entire Charlottesville area,” Strong said. “Whether people are looking for the fun and relaxing waterfront lifestyle, or the world-class experiences in Charlottesville, Lake Monticello offers an opportunity for people to have both.” Affordability is also a benefit for people who live in Lake Monticello. Fornecker used to live in town in what she described as a “70s rancher.” Now she has a nicer home at Lake Monticello where she estimates that buyers can enjoy as much as two and a half times the square footage for the money as is available in town. Many of the lake’s residents so love their lifestyle that they encourage family and friends to join them there. Strong said, “one of the most interesting things we see is people who move here and enjoy it so much they end up getting family members and friends to join them...it says a lot about the quality of life at Lake Monticello that people would move here, and then convince friends and family to do the same.” Others find Lake Monticello when they are in the market for a second home, although often after they experience the magic of being on the wa-
Buyers are attracted to Lake Monticello
ter they choose to move there permanently. “I have sold several homes in the past couple of years, where buyers have bought a second home with plans of retiring in the future. Most of them have taken an early retirement and moved here permanently,” Wilson said. “They fall in love with the lake and
the ‘vacation at home’ feeling, so they move sooner than later. Some bring their work to their weekend home and decide this is the place to be. Lake Monticello offers high speed internet, which is very important these days for those who work from home,” she continued.

Back in the 1980s, the original developers looked for buyers in New York and other northern cities explained Keith Smith with Roy Wheeler Realty Co. Back in the 1980s he and his wife Yonna, also an agent, traveled down from New York City in response to an ad offering to pay visitors $150 to come and experience Lake Monticello. Like many others, they fell in love with the area and the lake, bought a lot and relocated. Although they soon realized they had over-paid for the lot, they urged Smith’s father to move there too. He in turn invited friends to join him in settling at the lake after experiencing the beauty of an area that was such a pleasant contrast to life in the City. Today buyers still come to Lake Monticello from the northeast and from Northern Virginia Wilson explained. They come for the “low home and land prices, the proximity to Charlottesville and Richmond and the community activities and involvement. Many of my clients get involved in the volunteer opportunities within Lake Monticello and Fluvanna County once they are here,” she said. “Our waterfront buyers this year have been a mixture of retirees and second-home buyers,” Strong said. Most have come from Northern Virginia, but we’ve also worked with local owners who are looking to live the waterfront lifestyle.” Fornecker has a number of clients from out of the area, several of whom chose the lake lifestyle after being transferred here for jobs at places like NGIC and Martha Jefferson. One of her buyers, from New Hampshire, chose Lake Monticello for the laid-back feel and the variety of home styles available,
all very different from what she termed “cookie cutter” neighborhoods. Fornecker also has local clients including a recent first timer who looked at two properties and could not make up his mind. When he finally made a decision there were already two other offers on the property, and although he offered more than the list price, he still lost out. Another set of clients moved to the lake from Crozet, selling a $300,000 house there. These buyers were ready for a home with one level living and chose Lake Monticello in part because they got so much more for their money there than elsewhere in the area.
Essentials Close at Hand Back in the 1980s, in Lake Monticello’s early days, residents drove to Charlottesville for everything from groceries to medical, dental and vet care and even gas. Today essential services such as medical facilities, dentists, attorneys, veterinary care, a pharmacy, a grocery store and restaurants are all immediately nearby and at Zion Crossroads where shoppers will also find Lowes and Walmart. In addition, very soon they can jump on the interstate and head west to Charlottesville where they can enjoy shopping at Wegmans and all the other great stores at the new 5th Street Station. If you are someone who longs to live near the water and don’t mind a short commute to work, or someone who telecommutes or has a home-based business, or better yet is ready to retire and live the good life, ask your agent about Lake Monticello. The natural beauty and laid-back lifestyle may be just what you are looking for. n Celeste Smucker is a writer, blogger and author who lives near Charlottesville.

Enjoy Country Living for Less in Nearby
FLUVANNA COUNTY BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER
can’t afford what they want there Dent said. Many then realize their dream in Fluvanna where their money can buy a nice farm or horse property for less. Fornecker agreed that Fluvanna draws buyers looking for acreage adding that they like the peace and quiet and slower way of life. They also like the location which is convenient for two career couples with jobs in both Richmond to the east and Charlottesville to the west. Similarly, retirees who relocate to the area to be near their children located in either or both of these cities often choose Fluvanna.
Fluvanna Buyers
B
uyers looking for a house with privacy to enjoy a laid-back country lifestyle for an affordable price should seriously consider contacting their agent about Fluvanna County. First-time homebuyers are welcome there as are growing families who want more space, horse owners looking for a farm, or active retirees wanting to be free of home maintenance. Buyers who love the water and like the idea of a gated community should also check out Lake Monticello. Once part of Henrico, Fluvanna County became its own entity in 1777 taking its name from the Fluvanna River, a section of the James named in honor of Queen Anne of England. The county’s rich history is carefully preserved by the local historical society headed by a full time director with the help of an active group of volunteers who manage an impressive archive of documents as well as the Old Stone Jail Museum and the Holland Page Place, a post Civil War log cabin. Agents are optimistic about the Fluvanna real estate market, which is rebounding nicely from the recent recession. As is true in a lot of our region, inventories are low making this is a good time to be a seller. Buyers will also be happy when they find they can afford a much nicer house for the money than is available elsewhere.
The Fluvanna Real Estate Market “The market is doing better than it has in a long time,” said Maggie Gun-
nels Fornecker with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate III, adding that it is the best she’s seen in her ten years in the real estate industry. Her biggest concern is lack of inventory, but she sees signs that the new construction market is coming back with a few spec homes underway and, she expects, more to come in the near future. Pam Dent with Gayle Harvey Real Estate Inc. has lived in Fluvanna County for eleven years having purchased a house that dates back to 1760. She and Bridget Archer, also with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, often co-list homes and are active in the market there. Dent described the Fluvanna market as “steady,” noting that well-priced homes are selling. Kendra Dunn, Southern Development Homes Sales and Marketing Manager, is excited about the market in Fluvanna as well stating that it has definitely “picked up.” She cited four sales in the last two weeks at her company’s Fluvanna County developments, The Villages at Nahor and Village Oaks attributing this success, in
part, to momentum from the recent Parade of Homes.
Why Buyers Love Fluvanna Part of the reason Fluvanna is popular is its proximity to Charlottesville, explained Vicki Wilson, Principal Broker and Owner of Monticello Country Realtors. “The amenities in central Virginia are truly world class,” she states on her website, where she references the high quality of local medical services, UVA, and the temperate climate with its four seasons. “You get more bang for your buck than in Albemarle,” Dent explained adding that new construction on larger lots is more affordable in Fluvanna because land costs are less. She explained that buyers also like that they can enjoy a “country feel” but still be convenient to Interstate 64 while shoppers will find it’s almost as fast to get to Short Pump in the Richmond area as it is to reach Fashion Square Mall in Charlottesville. Often buyers come to the area wanting to locate in Albemarle, but find they
The Fluvanna market’s wide range of prices and home styles attract buyers of all ages and income levels. For example, it’s still great place for a first-time buyer to find a home. In a recent search of the Multiple Listing Service Wilson found forty-three homes under $200,000 at Lake Monticello and stated that this is “an awesome time for first-time home buyers.” She suggested buyers contact a lender to get pre-approved and to learn about types of loans available, including some zero down options for first timers. At the other end of the buyer spectrum are the retirees, and while many long for the privacy of acreage, others prefer a close-knit community with no responsibilities for exterior maintenance. For the latter group, the 55+ communities of the Villages at Nahor and Village Oaks may be just right. With prices starting in the mid-$200,000s these communities are what Dunn calls “vibrant neighborhoods” offering a range of activities from bingo to water aerobics and wine tastings for adults who want to continue to be active. If you are looking for a home in the country, and want to be near the many amenities of Charlottesville and Richmond, ask your agent about relocating to Fluvanna County. You may be surprised at the quality of homes there as well as the amount of acreage and square footage your money can buy. n Celeste Smucker is a writer, blogger and author who lives near Charlottesville.
