Where is the Market Heading in 2017?

Forty-two artisans in twenty-three studios throughout central Virginia will display their craft during the 22nd annual Artisans Studio Tour on November 12 and 13, 2016. The self-guided tour, free and open to the public, is an opportunity to talk to professional artisans in a studio environment and experience their passion for creating finely crafted objects. This year the tour includes four new potters, three new woodworkers and a luthier, or stringed instrument maker. Dammann Custom Instruments Studio is home to Ralph Dammann’s handmade guitars, mandocellos, and electric basses. In his cabinet shop, Jeff Saine will show his contemporary furniture design, as well as Jan Elmore’s mixed-media mirror frames and sculptures. Kirk McCauley will display his wood bowls, lamps, and whiskey barrel furniture in his workshop. Another new studio, Pettigrew Woodworks, is home to Alex Pettigrew’s FUNctional home and office accessories and hosts new artist Kary Haun’s porcelain. Noah Hughey-Commers will open his new studio with wood-fired pottery from his recently completed wood-fired kiln. Steve Palmer will join the Tour with his whimsical, thrown and altered ceramics in Heller and Heller Custom Furniture. Steven Summerville from Bumpass, Virginia will display his hand thrown, altered and assembled white earthenware in Fred Hean’s workshop, Hean Cabinetry. New for 2016, the Studio Tour launches its emerging artisan program

Jan Elmore

with potter Adam McNeil. Tom Clarkson has been mentoring Adam, leading him through the process of building an inventory, shaping a display, developing promotional materials and developing the business skills needed to work as a fine craftsman. Adam’s work will be in Tom Clarkson’s studio. There will be artisan demonstrations and opportunities to learn about the working processes throughout the Studio Tour. The Tour provides an excellent opportunity to purchase the work of talented professional artisans as unique gifts or for your own collection. Each studio provides locally sourced refreshments and fine hospitality. The Artisans Studio Tour was founded in 1994 by a group of Charlottesville area artisans to enhance the community’s awareness of professional artisans living and working in the region. This year marks the 22nd year that artists will open their studios and collaborate to make a public showing of their work. The studios and craftsmen are varied, but their commitment to fine craftsmanship pervades the tour. Directions and a map can be found on the studio tour website. You are invited to tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on November 12 and 13, 2016.

NEWS & VIEWS

The Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors recently released their 3rd Quarter Market Report. Although there were few surprises, there were some interesting stats to watch as we try to predict what the housing market will do during the final three months of 2016 and as we head into 2017. The good news is home sales and days on market numbers continue to improve. “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. These numbers indicate we have almost gotten back to a pre-recession 2005 market. Looking back, the average sales price in 2005 was $345,000 and at the end of September of 2016, it is at $350,159. There are two reasons for this. One, the market continues to improve and two, there is finally an increase in the sale of higher priced properties. That being said, the lower priced affordable properties are still the most attractive as evidenced by a median price of only $273,000 through the most recent quarter reflecting the number of attached homes that sold versus detached as the former almost always sell for a lower price than the latter. Another interesting trend is that vacant land sales increased during the third quarter of 2016 versus the same time frame in 2015. One reason for this is land prices have come down to a point that folks are finding property at a price they can afford. CAAR’s president-elect, Anthony McGhee made another interesting point saying, “sales of land under

5 acres showed the most activity, which may be because of lack of inventory. Since they can’t find the right home, they are buying a lot and getting someone to build a home for them.” As Roy Wheeler Realty Company has been predicting since mid-2015, new construction is playing a major role in the housing recovery here in Charlottesville. Case in point, new home sales made up 16 percent of the 2016 homes sold in Q3 of 2016 compared to only 11 percent of the 845 homes sold in Q3 of 2015. The new construction median price was $424,000 compared to a $254,000 median price for existing homes. Roy Wheeler’s Broker and CEO, Michael Guthrie, was quoted in the October 20 issue of the Daily Progress saying, “over the next 15 to 18 months, people are going to continue to buy new, which can cause concern in the existing-home market. “If you’re in that same price range as new construction, people, if they have the choice, are going to buy new versus buying existing,” he said. “It’s a really important thing to watch for folks who are thinking about selling their existing home because they need to be priced right; they need to have their houses in wonderful condition because they’re competing against brand-new homes.” For more information contact: Michael Guthrie, Broker/CEO Roy Wheeler Realty Co. www.roywheeler.com

istoric and heartwarming (Loving). Family-friendly and inspiring (The Eagle Huntress). Searching and shocking (The Promise), romantic (La La Land) and jaw dropping (Liv Ullmann, Werner Herzog and Shirley ... that’s right, MacLaine)—if it boasts more than 125 films, and way too many admiring modifiers to choose from, it’s the 2016 Virginia Film Festival, screening November 3-6 in Charlottesville. First conceived of in 1999 as a vehicle to educate and engage audiences, encourage discussion, and support films and filmmakers in the Commonwealth, the Virginia Film Festival is an annual feast of cinematic riches and related conversations, bookended by a couple of great parties. This year’s festival, says Jody Kielbasa, in the topics it covers, the cultures it celebrates, the film icons it brings to town, and the thoughtful discussion it is sure to stimulate, “is the best in my eight years as director. It is a very rich and compelling program that will engage our community in a significant dialogue, and be a lot of fun.”

Opening Night Film This year’s Opening Night presentation, Loving (7:00 p.m., Thursday, November 3 at The Paramount Theater) will be “very much a part of the Golden

Globe and Oscar dialogues,” Kielbasa believes. The critically acclaimed film dramatizes the courageous story of Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), an interracial couple from a small Virginia town who were married in 1958, in defiance of state law. First jailed, then banished, the Lovings fought for their union all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in a landmark 1967 case affirmed their right to marry. Directed by Jeff Nichols, Loving was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the 2016 Cannes International Film Festival. Nichols, Negga and Bernie Cohen, one of the original ACLU lawyers who argued the case, will discuss the film following the screening. “Loving captures an important moment in the history of the Commonwealth,” says Governor Terry McAuliffe, “and tells a story that speaks to the triumph of love over division—a story that resonates in our world today. The film also shines a deserved spotlight on Virginia’s thriving film industry, which continues to be an important driver in our work to build a new Virginia economy.”

Centerpiece Film Long before the O.J. Simpson spectacle, the trial of UVA honor students Elizabeth Haysom and her German boyfriend Jens Soering riveted the nation on live TV. Charged with the

A Conversation with Liv Ullmann Along with the chance to view so many classics and so many contenders in one short burst, another of the Festival’s great pleasures is the opportunity it affords to hear and to question the people who make them. One of the great actresses of her generation, Liv Ullmann won fame for her daring work with master filmmaker Ingmar Bergman in Persona, The Passion of Anna, Cries and Whispers, and other such explorations—12 in all—of the human psyche and the human predicament. Still active after seven decades, Ullmann has most recently directed for the stage and the screen, including a Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire, and a film version of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie. Ullmann will be at UVA’s Culbreth Theatre at 4:15 p.m. on Thursday, November 3 for a moderated discussion led by Michael Barker, Co-President and Co-Founder of Sony Pictures Classics. “There is an elegance about her career that is extraordinary, that you don’t often see today,” Kielbasa says.

While the Opening Night and Centerpiece films tell true stories of love triumphant and love overcome by tragedy, Closing Night offers a romantic musical comedy-drama of two young strivers finding love in the big city. An audience favorite at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals, the wryly named La La Land (7:30 p.m., Sunday, November 6 at The Paramount Theater) pays tribute to a classic Hollywood genre, and to the city from which it takes its name. Starring Ryan Gosling as a dedicated jazz pianist and Emma Stone as an aspiring actress, this beautifully shot film is “a kind of a love letter to the traditional old Hollywood movie

musicals,” Kielbasa says, with an “in- 11 credibly charming” leading couple. “It reminds me a little of a modern-day Singing in the Rain.”

gruesome double murder of Haysom’s parents in rural Bedford County, the convicted couple have now spent over three decades behind bars. Soering, however, still proclaims his innocence. New evidence presented in journalist Karin Steinberger and filmmaker Marcus Vetter’s investigative film The Promise has made headlines and may win him a new trial. Soering’s lawyer and several of the original investigators and journalists will discuss the film after its North American premiere, 7:30 p.m., Saturday, November 5 at The Paramount Theater.

She is really a very, very intelligent actress. It’s an honor to bring her back and to have the conversation moderated by Michael Barker, whose films have been nominated for 159 Academy Awards. This is clearly a gentleman who knows his stuff.” Ullmann will be on hand as well after the screening of Liv & Ingmar (1:00 p.m., Friday, November 4 at Vinegar Hill Theatre), a 2012 documentary about her 42-year relationship with Bergman. The director and the woman he called his “Stradivarius” fell in love when she was 25 and he was 46, each married to someone else. Told entirely from Ullmann’s own perspective and including films clips, love letters and behind the scenes footage, the film chronicles a great passion that became a deep friendship.

years, and even an amusing turn as a formidable mother-in-law on Downton Abbey. “Just last night I was reviewing her career and kept being surprised at the number of films I had forgotten were part of her filmography,” Kielbasa says, marveling not only at “the length, scope, and breadth” of her career, but “at the fact that she is still working.” MacLaine will appear at the Paramount Theater at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, November 4 to discuss her career with Bob Gazzale of the American Film Institute and even—her idea—take questions from the audience.

The World of Werner Herzog A pioneer of the postwar West German cinema movement and one of the world’s most innovative contemporary directors, Werner Herzog began his 45-year career at age 19 and has since produced, written and directed more than sixty feature and documentary films, including Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), Fitzcarraldo (1982) and Grisly Man (2005). “Herzog’s nearly half century long career has taken him to the ends of the earth, the bottom of the sea, and down into deep forgotten caves,” says VFF Programmer and Operations Manager Wesley Harris. “He has dragged ships across the mountains. He’s one of the most iconic and strong-willed minds in the art world. I think this artists’ work helps an audience become better movie watchers.” Harris will join the director at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 5 at The Paramount Theater, in a program that will include Herzog reading from his writings as well as other texts, followed by an audience Q & A. Herzog’s new documentary Into the Inferno, a survey of the world’s active volcanoes and the cultures and religions that have formed around them, “is a return to form, old-school Herzog,” Harris says. “He’s trekking around the world, going to places of physical and geographical extremes and violence, and having some fun exploring the odd characters that he comes across. If there is any through line thematically to his work it’s the violent indifference of nature towards man, and this film is that in a capsule. He’s a filmmaker of extremes, but he also manages to give nuances to these largest possible landscapes and characters that he comes across in his films.” Into the Inferno will be shown at 9:15

p.m. on Friday, November 4 at the Culbreth Theatre.

A Salute to Shirley MacLaine Richmond native and six-time Academy Award nominee Shirley MacLaine got her big break as an understudy on Broadway in 1954 when the leading lady broke her ankle. MacLaine’s

performance in The Pajama Game so impressed a major film producer that he signed her to Paramount Pictures, where her film debut in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry won the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year—Actress. Hot Spell and Around the World in Eighty Days followed, as did a total of 72 films and 44 awards in 50

Even for casual film fans, the embarrassment of riches that is the Virginia Film Festival each year rewards a close look at the line-up. Grown-up Disney lovers will be intrigued by an extraordinary screening of Beauty and the Beast (3:00 p.m. Saturday, November 5 at the Culbreth Theatre), the first feature-length animated film ever nominated for Best Picture, shown here in the same work-in-progress state in which it previewed (25 years ago at the New York Film Festival) with original pencil drawings alternating with completed animation. Paige O’Hara, the voice of Belle, and producer Don Hahn will discuss the process by which the film was made. Hahn will also screen and discuss his documentary Waking Sleeping Beauty, on the revitalization of Disney’s animation studios, at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 6 at Vinegar Hill Theatre. Fredericksburg native Danny McBride wrote and starred in the HBO comedy series Eastbound & Down, and now co-stars in the network’s hit comedy Vice Principals. Joe Hill is co-creator and director of both series. McBride and Hill will screen two episodes of Vice Principals plus clips from Danny’s career, and discuss their artistic process at 6:45 p.m., Friday, November 4 at Culbreth Theatre. Filmed in the breathtakingly beautiful Mongolian steppe, The Eagle Huntress (6:45 p.m., Saturday, November 5 at St. Anne’s-Belfield) tells the story of a 13-year old girl training to be the first female eagle hunter in 12 generations of her family. “It’s a great story of female empowerment,” Harris says, “delving into a heritage amazingly removed from what many Western audiences would have any experience of.” Just four days before the election, legendary filmmakers DA Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus will show their classic documentary The War Room (6:00 p.m., Saturday, November 5 at the CulCONTINUED ON PAGE 18

A VA-guaranteed loan can be used to purchase an existing home or to pay for a newly constructed one, as long as the home will be the veteran’s primary residence. It can also be used to refinance an existing loan. The process is remarkably fast Domenic says, “we can typically close a VA loan in 30 days.”

Homes For Our Troops

Veterans Calling Central VA Home:

Initiatives to Help Veterans Buy Homes

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

BY KEN WILSON

hey served us bravely, and so we thank them. Having defended our homeland, they deserve to own their own homes, and happily there is help available to make that easier. Established in 1930 but carrying on work dating back to the Revolutionary War, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs supports service members, veterans, and surviving spouses in myriad ways, and since 1944 one big one has been to assist them in becoming homeowners. But for post-911 veterans who have suffered severe injuries and are now looking for suitable housing, the picture is even better. The national non-profit organization Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) builds mortgage-free, specially adapted homes nationwide for severely injured post–9/11 veterans.

U.S. Department Of Veterans Affairs For veterans who meet its length of service requirements, the U.S. Department Of Veterans Affairs makes possible extraordinarily generous loans and payment terms: no down payment, no mortgage insurance, and limited closing costs. “As far as low or no down payment programs go, I would put the VA at the top of the list,” says Movement Mortgage Loan Officer Jay Domenic. “The typical veteran has VA eligibility, which makes them eligible for 100% financing.” The VA itself doesn’t actually issue the loans; those are provided by private lenders like banks and mortgage companies. What the VA does is to guarantee a portion of the loan, allowing the lenders to offer the most favorable terms. VA-assisted loans do come with a guarantee fee—a percentage of the loan amount—but the fee can be financed (and is waived

“The typical veteran has VA eligibility, which makes them eligible for 100% financing.” The VA itself doesn’t actually issue the loans; those are provided by private lenders like banks and mortgage companies.

Marine Corporal Kevin Blanchard endured over 30 surgeries, including several blood transfusions, after losing his left leg and sustaining serious injury to his right from a roadside bomb while on patrol in Iraq. For his service Blanchard earned a Purple Heart— and a new home in Crozet, thanks to Homes For Our Troops. Since its establishment in 2004 in Taunton, Massachusetts, the private non-profit foundation has provided mortgage-free homes for 225 veterans in 41 different states. Twenty-eight more homes are currently under construction, and over 50 more are already in the pipeline. Here in the Commonwealth, 14 homes have been completed, and two more are under construction. Most HFOT recipients have sustained severe injuries, and live with after-effects like single or multiple limb amputations, partial or full paralysis, and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). HFOT homes are intended to restore some of the physical freedom and independence these warriors sacrificed on their country’s behalf. To that end, HFOT works with local contractors to build one-level, 2,700-square foot homes, with features customized for each individual veteran. Over 40 major special adaptations are available to choose from. Hardwood floors, wide doorways and hallways, automatic doors and roll-in showers, for example, allow for ease of access, while roll-under countertops let wheelchair users work at the countertop without being obstructed by cabinets. Pull down shelving eliminates the need to reach up high or climb, reducing the risk of falling from a wheelchair. While HFOT homes are mortgage-free, the organization applies ten-year liens to protect its donors and corporate partners. After five years, however, veterans begin building equity in the home, and after year ten it is entirely theirs. Each home is fully warrantied, and HFOT will fix most problems that might occur. Veterans themselves are responsible only for routine maintenance, taxes and general upkeep. HFOT’s thorough review and vetting process ensure they are prepared

for the financial aspect of home-ownership, while providing them with sound financial advice. “I heard about Homes For Our Troops through a friend and fellow Veteran I recovered with at Walter Reed Hospital,” Blanchard says. “He received a home several years ago and kept telling me I should apply. At the time, I didn’t think I would qualify and wasn’t ready to take on the responsibility of home ownership until recently.” When Blanchard began researching the program three years ago, he found it typically takes two to four years for applicants to receive homes. “I called HFOT and explained my situation,” he says. “They did a background check on my personal life, military retiree status, and personal finances.” A year after Blanchard completed his application, HFOT invited him to their annual conference, to give him a better understanding of the process. He was accepted into the program the following week. Work has now begun on Blanchard’s L-shaped, one-floor ranch house, twocar garage, and back porch. It has been a community effort.
