CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

National Outlook Inventory continues to be lower in year-over-year comparisons, and home prices are predicted to rise than not, but sales and new listings are forecast to finish the summer on an upswing. The housing supply outlook in several markets is beginning to show an increase in new construction and builders are moving away from overstocked rental units to new developments for sale.

Greater Charlottesville The median sales price increased 2.1 percent to $348,200 for detached homes and 6.5 percent to $256,741 for attached homes. Median days on market decreased 15.5 percent for detached homes and 29.8 percent for attached homes.

“The Greater Charlottesville market continues to deliver strong numbers year-over-year for the second quarter,” said CAAR President Arleen Yobs.

“While the median sales price increased slightly compared to this time last year, we showed a significant growth in both closed sales and pending sales, which bodes well as we move into the third quarter.”

“Buyers entering the market are reacting quickly to the limited inventory of homes for sale,” said President-Elect Tele Jenifer. “That is evident considering five out of six localities showed a 12% drop or more in median days on the market.”

Albemarle County The median sales price increased 0.8 percent to $450,000 for detached homes and 0.9 percent to $254,718 for attached homes. Median days on market decreased 12.7 percent for detached homes but remained flat for attached homes.

City of Charlottesville The median sales price increased 1.3 percent to $357,000 for detached homes and 10.6 percent to $276,500 for attached homes. Median days on market remained flat for detached homes but decreased 37.0 percent for attached homes.

ooking for a relaxed, country lifestyle but hate long commutes? Move to Greene County north of Albemarle for terrific views from your reasonably priced home. Then enjoy the easy, scenic commute to town.

A host of outdoor and recreational activities including hiking, camping, fishing and golfing are a big part of the Greene lifestyle, and residents and visitors also look forward to sipping award-winning wine while picnicking and relaxing at one of the County’s local vineyards.

Antiquers find a lot to love in Greene as they browse through stores that feature a wide array of options for discerning shoppers. And when they’re ready for a break, they stop in at a local restaurant for food to remember.

Greene County, a popular bedroom community of Charlottesville, offers something for everyone from a public school system that boasts a 94 percent on-time high school graduation rate to an active and welcoming senior center in the town of Stanardsville, Greene’s County Seat.

Stanardsville is a recent proud recipient of Federal money (awarded by the Virginia Department of Transportation and matched by funds from the local community) for Phase 2 of updates to its streetscape making it a safer, more aesthetic place to live, work and visit.

Local REALTORS® are enthusiastic about the real estate market in Greene, which is making a rapid comeback from the recession.

If you love the outdoors and hiking, biking, camping, or fishing are how you relax, Greene County, where you can engage in your favorite sports while you savor spectacular mountain scenery, is for you.

The County borders Shenandoah National Park—created by a bill passed in Congress in 1926— and offers inspiring scenery with access to Skyline Drive via Route 33. Construction on the Park began in 1933 and brought much needed employment to the area during the Great Depression. Today local residents and tourists continue to enjoy the stunning views, the rivers, and the Park’s many recreational activities.

Today essentials like groceries, gas and great restaurants are all nearby making the Greene County lifestyle a lot more attractive, Woodson said.

New Construction New construction options have been limited in Greene for some time, much to the dismay of agents and their buyers. This year they are delighted about a Ryan Homes subdivision called Oxford Hills that just opened and offers both one and two level floor plans at modest prices.

“They are swamped,” Barefoot said stating that in the first three days the neighborhood was open for business they sold 33 homes. Prices for a one story floor plan with a two car garage start at the upper $230 thousands, while a four bedroom two story model starts at the low $260 thousands.

Woodson echoed her sentiments when he described the large number of contracts in Oxford Hills in the first two months. He added that they are already selling lots in the neighborhood’s second and third phases. “There is an unbelievable amount of interest,” he concluded.

He expressed optimism that the success of this new neighborhood will offer proof to other developers that there

It’s a good time to be a REALTOR® in Greene County as sales are brisk.

Sellers are happy as well as not only are their homes selling, but they are moving more quickly than a year ago.

The Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® reports that at the end of the first quarter of 2018 sales of single family homes in Greene were up 2.2 percent compared to last year at the same time, while inventory was down 17.2 percent.

REALTOR® Ginny Barefoot with Roy Wheeler Realty Co. describes a market that is “quite busy” with inventory shortages. In fact it is so busy they are starting to see multiple offers.

She had competing offers on two of her listings just recently.

Barefoot stated that, in most cases, if a home is on the market it will sell unless there’s something wrong with it. She indicated there is a particular

shortage of one story homes to meet the demand from retirees and others tired of climbing stairs, adding that if one goes on the market, and is less than 20 years old, it will sell quickly.

“Overall this is one of the better years our office has had,” Woodson said. He described the early spring market as “hot,” suggesting that rising interest rates may have encouraged some buyers to get moving. This was followed by a bit of a slowdown, but “all of a sudden” things picked up again at the end of June, he added.

Woodson has a note of caution for sellers, however, stating that while the current market offers good news, they still need to consult with their REALTOR® and be realistic about pricing their homes to sell them in a reasonable amount of time.

is a huge demand for new homes in Greene County.

Greene’s Buyers Greene appeals to a wide range of buyers from first timers to growing families, retirees and down sizers and returning UVA grads.

With its easy commute to nearby urban centers, Greene attracts people that work at NGIC, UVA Research Park and elsewhere in Charlottesville, Harrisonburg and Culpeper. The local school system is a big plus, with its highly qualified teaching and professional staff, 51 percent of whom have advanced (Masters or Doctorate) degrees.

Barefoot’s three children grew up in Greene County and she gives the school system high marks. A big benefit is the cooperative program between the local high school and PVCC at the Eugene Giuseppe Center in Stanardsville, where two of her children joined other area youngsters and graduated from high school with a substantial number of college credits.

Retirees from around the country read about the benefits of living in Charlottesville and gravitate to Greene attracted by its reasonable home prices and low property taxes. Northerners tired of shoveling snow in frigid temperatures also appreciate our area’s

milder climate that still has four seasons.

Home buyers “get more bang for their bucks in Greene,” Woodson said.

Higher end buyers can find homes for $300 to $450 thousand compared to Albemarle where the same house could cost $550 thousand or more. Greene offers these buyers the chance to move up, and still have a reasonable commute to Charlottesville.

Business and Tourists Welcome A sign that says “Open for Business,” greets everyone driving into Greene

County. The sign expresses the County’s commitment to a business-friendly environment. An example is its investment in a sewer system along the Route 29 corridor and down Route 33 to accommodate business expansion.

Greene also proudly encourages tourists to learn about the County’s history starting with the golden horseshoe that figures prominently in the County shield commemorating a famous expedition to Swift Run Gap in 1716. Legend has it that the expedition leader, Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spottswood, gave golden horse-

shoes to followers in commemoration of this trip.

Every April Civil War buffs can watch a re-enactment of the Battle of Stanardsville, an engagement between the Confederate Cavalry of J.E.B. Stuart and General George Custer’s Union troops. The annual event “captures not just the battle itself, but the mood of its people” and how they survived. It includes family-friendly activities, music and dancing.

Another highly anticipated event is the annual Virginia Clay Festival in Stanardsville September 22 and 23. The Clay Festival is “an art show celebrating the creative possibilities of clay.” It features Virginia potters, sculptors and jewelers along with music, food and children’s activities.

On October 13, bikers are invited to participate in the Tour de Greene, a fully supported 25, 40, and 60 mile ride through Greene’s scenic back roads followed by an after party with live music.

If you look forward to a nice private home site after a long day at work and love the idea of a short commute to town, call your REALTOR® today about Greene County. The views are amazing and the amount of house and land your money can buy will surprise you.

COMMUNITY

FARMERS MARKETS A Big Plus for Communities

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

“I

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

used to ask my students where their food came from,” says North Garden Farmers Market Manager Kathy Zentgraf. “‘The grocery store,’ they’d reply, so I’d explain to them about where their meat and produce came from before it got to the grocery store.”

Farmers markets, she notes, are a great show-and-tell place to demonstrate food sources. Often the growers themselves are there and happy to talk with young people about raising fruit and vegetables, flowers and livestock.

They see people can actually make candles or soap or cheese, not just buy it at a store People really welcome access to food and other items that are home-grown, home-raised and home-made. Farmers markets are also a natural meeting place for a community in this time when so many adults and children seem “tech-stuck” instead of enjoying things that are live.

Clearly, BUY FRESH, BUY LOCAL is more than a bumper sticker, it’s a

grand idea. When we shop locally, we support our community as a whole.

In fact, a Virginia Cooperative Extension study revealed that if each Virginia household spent $10 a week on local products, an additional $1.65 billion—that’s billion with a B—would be invested back into the Commonwealth’s local economy.

In addition, many related businesses such as orchards, berry patches, and restaurants benefit from our increasing appetite for locally grown food. Vibrant farmers markets not only add to the economic health of our area, they enhance both our physical health and that elusive concept called quality of life.

Area Farmers Markets Flourish “Charlottesville scores as one of the top places to live, over and over,” declares REALTOR® Kelly Ceppa of Nest Realty in Charlottesville. “We are one of the few small cities in the nation that has big-city cultural amenities like art, theater, and education. We also have small-town features like ‘community.’”

“Community” is definitely reflected in Charlottesville’s City Market where

you’ll often find Ceppa, like many other shoppers, selecting food and meandering and chatting with friends on a Saturday morning. This market, while the largest in the region, is typical of most others.

You’ll find them throughout Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, and Orange Counties.

Markets sprout in a variety of venues including subdivisions, school and church parking lots, and community parks. Many are on Saturdays, but some are on other days.

One of the newest is the former Red Hill Farmers Market, now renamed the North Garden Farmers Market and relocated to the Albemarle Ciderworks at 2545 Rural Ridge Lane in North Garden.

“We’re open Thursdays from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. and it’s a great location,” declares market manager Zentgraf. “The Ciderworks usually closes at 5:00 p.m., but they are keeping their Cider Room open until 7:00 p.m. on Thursdays for us so there is shelter for people. We have typical farmer vendors and also some artists including a textile artist and a woman who paints little portraits—she hands your finished portrait to you on the spot—and we’re looking for more.”

Each market has its own personality.

Some are shaded by big old trees while others are protected by tents, shelters, or individual vendors’ canopies. Much of the charm of visiting markets is

discovering what makes each one different. Will you find a wonderful new bread for your table or an unusual plant for your garden? What else might you find? Here’s a short list: fresh seasonal produce, honey, preserves of all sorts, flavored vinegars, chutney, eggs, meat, cheese, baked goods.

Beyond edibles you’ll often find candles, jewelry, sewn or knitted items, pottery, woodcrafts, furniture, soap, organic pet snacks, children’s clothes, flowers in bouquets or pots, vegetable and flower seedlings, and ceramics from mugs to casseroles and vases.

In addition, some artists work right at the market. It might be a weaver with a small loom, a jewelry maker, or a face painter. An especially appealing feature of a typical market is the chance to visit face-to-face with the growers, bakers, cooks, and artists.

A number of markets have beverages and ready-to-eat foods with tables and seating so you can enjoy food on the spot. Others have regular musical performances—from youth musicians to singing groups and old-timey fiddlers. Frequently Master Gardeners are available to answer questions about enhancing your green thumb.

Not all items are available at all markets all the time and many shoppers visit different markets on different days. Some vendors participate at only one market, others miss a time now and then, and a number of items are seasonal. Most markets typically have a waiting list for spaces so some vendors fill in whenever they can until a permanent slot opens up.

The City Market also offers sidewalk space for tables and exhibits about various causes to let shoppers know what the advocates are passionate about. Various groups seek to garner support for their missions—everything from supporting a high school sports team or a group teaching home canning skills to environmental and political groups.

How to Find a Market The Piedmont Environmental Council publishes a colorful guide, which is also online at www.buylocalvirginia.org/chapters/charlottesville-area. It includes information about regional Farmers Markets, farms and orchards (many offering U-pick fruits and veggies), wineries, cideries, breweries, grocers, caterers, restaurants and regional events as well as a calendar showing the availability of various fruits and vegetables by season. n Marilyn Pribus lives in Albemarle County near Charlottesville and often wanders around the City Market gathering fresh food and hugs from friends she encounters there.
