NEWS & VIEWS

There were few surprises in the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR) recently released 2nd quarter market report. (Read the full report at CAAR.com ) Compared to the same time period in 2017, more homes sold (1,290 vs 1,200) and the median home price increased to $314,500 from $309,500.

Although more listings came on the market , housing inventory is now down to just 4 months thanks to the increased number of sales. Also, because of higher demand, homes are selling faster than a year ago.

In addition, the larger number of homes under contract certainly signals a continuing positive market.

A deeper look at the 2nd Quarter Report, shows a surprising number of attached homes selling very quickly. Two factors suggest why this is the case.

First, we are seeing a different type of attached home on the market (compared to the vertical townhomes and side by side duplexes many of us are accustomed to) due in large part to an increasing demand for one-level living.

The rising cost of dirt makes it difficult to build horizontally while keeping the price of homes down. A solution to this is a patio-style home that places two houses side-by-side with a garage between them.

Interestingly, the combination of older Millenials AND late-stage Boomers, both looking for this type of “one level living, no maintenance” home has created a demand for this type of product.

We talked with CAAR leaders about this phenomenon. Here is the podcast of that conversation. http://wina.com/ podcasts/a-look-at-the-housing-market/ Second, two other interesting points of data in CAAR’s analysis are that new construction sales—that have been increasing over the last years—seem to be leveling off. Over the last six months, new home sales made up over 20 percent of total area sales. Over the last three months, however, this figure went below 20 percent.

In addition, higher priced homes (especially $500-750K) saw a significant increase in sales. This may be because builders now are into 2019 for delivery. Those needing a home sooner, must find an existing home rather than wait for a new one to be built. This is certainly a trend worth watching.

Finally, one can’t ignore what rising interest rates combined with higher home prices might do to dampen the market in the future. There are even some who feel it will lead to diminished sales and lowered sales prices. (https:// www.dailyprogress.com/news/local/report-area-home-prices-rising-as-salesramp-up/article_af7fc6ba-856c-11e88dae-a3b5d4504057.html) The data suggest differently. The number of people needing housing is increasing and will remain strong over the next few years. That, plus the fact there aren’t enough homes for sale in

Gordonsville: Enjoy It For a Weekend, Love It For a Lifetime

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER

I

magine a quaint little town where you can browse interesting shops, view historic treasures, enjoy special events, and eat award-winning barbeque. Imagine a place where ghosts of people long dead make occasional appearances to delight visitors.

If all of that intrigues, come for a visit to Gordonsville, a small town north of Zion Crossroads on Route 15 that overlaps the three counties of Albemarle, Louisa and Orange, where you can enjoy a fun and delightful weekend getaway.

Prepare for your trip by reserving a spot at one of Gordonsville’s bed and breakfasts. Then start thinking about

whether to tour local breweries and cideries, Civil War sites or local vineyards where you can sample the wine and enjoy a picnic on the grounds. Information about suggested self-guided tours is available at the Town of Gordonsville’s website.

During your Gordonsville visit why not investigate the local real estate market as well? Maybe you’ll decide you like the friendly small town atmosphere and local home prices so much you decide to stay permanently, or at the very least, invest in a second home so you can enjoy Gordonsville and surrounding areas more often.

Gordonsville Lifestyle The town of Gordonsville is known for its sense of community and small

town atmosphere. Residents describe it as a caring place where people know their neighbors, and depend on each other.

Sharon Merrick, with Roy Wheeler Realty Co., explains that Gordonsville’s small town atmosphere is very attractive to home buyers. “You get a great quality of life,” she said, “but you don’t give up a lot in the way of amenities because Charlottesville is so close by.” She notes that when you do have to get on

the road traffic is minimal and you can enjoy a beautiful, “idyllic” country drive.

The area also boasts its share of local shopping, banks and restaurants so residents can purchase much of what they need, or even enjoy a night out, without leaving the immediate area.

Agents point out it is not uncommon for individuals who work in Charlottesville to live in Gordonsville because of the rural setting, the small town atmosphere, and the favorable home prices. In dual income households where one spouse works in Charlottesville the other in Richmond Gordonsville can be a nice compromise thanks to its easy access to the Interstate.

Of course, many families find this friendly town to be a safe place to raise children. And since it straddles the three counties of Albemarle, Louisa and Orange, they can choose from three public school systems to find the one that best suits their needs.

There are also nearby private schools. Grymes Memorial is a day school for kindergarten (starting at age three) through grade eight, and Woodberry Forest is a boarding school for high school-aged boys. Woodberry Forest has a long history and was originally owned by the brother of President James Madison.

“Homes are selling quickly and inventory is low,” said Missy Garrison with Montague Miller & Co. REALTORS® . Of course that kind of activity “tends to drive prices up,” she added.

Still prices are favorable compared to homes closer to Charlottesville where similar houses may be two to three times higher in price than in the Gordonsville area she added.

She emphasized that when you live in Gordonsville, Charlottesville’s many amenities are not that far away, 20 to 25 minutes at the most.

Homes in the first time buyer range are available Merrick said describing a recent sale to some of her first timer clients. The home listed for $233 thousand and sold for $222 thousand.

Garrison has seen prices as low as $144 thousand. However she cautioned that often the very lowest priced homes are also in the worst condition.

If it needs a lot of work chances are good it would not qualify for an FHA or one of the other types of loans popular with first time buyers.

The Gordonsville market is a bit of a “mixed bag,” Merrick said given that it includes three counties and a range of properties from homes on small lots to 5, 50 or even 500 acre parcels in all price ranges. She is seeing a lot of interest from hobby farmers, people who have always dreamed of raising a few cattle, have some horses or a big garden.

Agri-business is popular these days as well, and includes everything from wedding venues to vineyards to farms that allow buyers to pick their own fruits and vegetables. Merrick suggests people need to check county regulations carefully before deciding they’ve found the perfect place for their business.

Another type of rural business is a solar panel farm such as one recently

It’s not unusual for people from Northern Virginia to chose Gordonsville when they decide to relocate, Merrick said. She added that they love how their money buys a house on a goodsized piece of land with lots of space to spread out. They are also intrigued by the natural beauty and appreciate being able to walk a property so much bigger than what they were accustomed to in Northern Virginia.

Merrick often hears from horse owners who end up buying property in the Gordonsville area. There are “amazing vets here,” she said and hay is readily available, both amenities that horse lovers require. A good example is a recent client from the Midwest who bought a 30-acre property featuring a horse barn and a separate apartment.

approved by Albemarle County on a 100 acre property, Merrick said. These entrepreneurs generate energy via the panels and sell it to companies like Dominion Virginia Power.

Still other local buyers are people wanting second homes for weekend use. Gordonsville’s location to the north makes it a shorter drive from DC and Northern Virginia than some other Charlottesville area possibilities, Merrick said. Often the buyers have plans to retire there eventually.

The tavern became a favorite of important guests such as Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Major General Marquis de Lafayette, the French military officer who served with George Washington during the Revolutionary War. In 1813, the town officially became Gordonsville, and five years ago, on its 200th birthday, there was a big celebration to mark the event.

In the 19th century Gordonsville became a significant economic center and served as both a rail and road hub for key supplies during the Civil War. In that time Gordonsville’s Exchange Hotel (once an elegant stopping place for travelers) became the Gordonsville Receiving Hospital. Over

70,000 sick and wounded soldiers from both sides of the conflict were treated there. Today it is “Virginia’s only standing Civil War receiving hospital.” according to its website.

After the war and during reconstruction, from 1865 to 1877, the hotel became the Freedman’s Bureau a place that provided care and education to newly freed slaves. Subsequently it was once again a hotel until 1971 when Historic Gordonsville, Inc restored it and made it a Civil War museum with three floors of displays.

Today visitors can browse period medical equipment, uniforms and weapons. In 1973 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized again in 2002 as an African American Memorial Site.

A special plaque at the Exchange Hotel Museum honors “Gordonsville’s Legendary Chicken Vendors.” These African American women carried trays of fried chicken on their heads and sold it to passengers who passed through town on trains, a practice that continued until the mid-1900s. The town was called “the chicken center of the universe,” by a Baltimore journalist who wrote about these early entrepreneurs.

In honor of these women and their unique contribution to Gordonsville’s heritage the town now hosts

an annual Fried Chicken Festival at the Gordonsville Fire Company Fair Grounds. Come join the fun on Saturday May 18, 2019 from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. rain or shine. The event will feature fried chicken and pie contests plus a wine garden, and craft and artisan vendors.

Shopping, Food, Fun, and Spooky Visitors One of Gordonsville’s attractions is its walkable downtown featuring quaint shops and restaurants.

Recently, to enhance the downtown experience, Gordonsville completed

improvements to its streetscape thanks to local funding and grant support from VDOT. The upgrades updated the town’s look with brick paver sidewalks, ornamental benches, trash receptacles and landscaping. It also improved safety with additional lighting and pedestrian crosswalks.

If you are a barbeque fan be sure to stop in at the Barbeque Exchange, Merrick said adding that “they are knocking it out of the park.” Lots of barbeque lovers agree. This nearly 40-year-old restaurant gets high marks on Yelp—4.5 based on 365 reviews—

and was the only BBQ restaurant in Virginia to appear on the Thrillist website’s The Best BBQ in Every State list in 2015.

Good times to visit Gordonsville, are during some of the growing number of annual activities that attract people to the area. One of these is the Annual Gordonsville Fall Festival every year on the first Saturday of October that benefits the local Volunteer Fire Company. This year’s date is October 6. Held at the Gordonsville Volunteer Fire Company Fairgrounds, it features food, crafts and live entertainment.

Gordonsville is also known for its beautiful holiday lights, Garrison said.

The annual display brings people in from all over the area, some from many miles away.

Visitors intrigued by ghosts and other paranormal events, can reserve space at a “Public Investigation.” This experience, for eight or more people, is a candlelight tour of the Civil War Museum and chance to learn about its connections to what many have described as spirits still haunting the building. According to hauntedplaces. org one of these is a Union soldier, the last to leave when the hospital closed.

Another is an African American cook who sometimes speaks to visitors.

The Museum website challenges you to “Join us and find out if you can maintain your skepticism after a night’s visit.”

The Museum may not be the only place where ghosts appear. Merrick’s former dress shop was located in what was a furniture store in the late 1800s.

One night, while she was unpacking new inventory, she was hit by one of her clothing racks that unexpectedly rolled across the floor. Since there was no breeze and the floor was not uneven it crossed her mind that a ghost had come to pay her a visit.

Find The Right House For

YOUR PETS

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

F

ormally known as “companion animals,” the more popular term has long been simply “pets” and lots of folks have them. Recent figures from Statista—a website with thousands of statistics—show that millions of Americans share their homes with creatures.

The most numerous household pets are actually fish, but since aquariums don’t much affect housing choices, we’ll just talk about cats and dogs.

There are approximately 95 million cat owners and 90 million dog owners in the U.S., and the average home has more than one animal.

Pet owners include young singles who have moved away from family and enjoy animal companionship, divorced people who often fill a void with pets, couples who have never had children or whose children have left home, and, of course, families with children who include “furry kids” as part of the clan.

A recent survey by a mortgage company discovered that a full one-third of millennial homebuyers said they were influenced by needing space for a dog.

In fact, for recent first-time homebuyers, the survey showed that space for a dog was the third most important consideration for buying rather than renting. (The two higher-rated considerations were having more living space and the chance to build equity in a property.)

Folks in Central Virginia have their fair share of pets. Many are alumni of the Charlottesville-Albemarle, Fluvanna or Nelson County SPCAs, the Madison-Greene Humane Society and various local rescue groups. Others move to town with pets already as part of the family.

To some extent, of course, having a pet may limit available housing options whether renting or buying, and a number of factors are at play. Some rentals—apartments, condos, and houses—are pet friendly, but many limit the size, number, or breed of animals on the lease. Often an extra deposit and monthly fee are charged.

In addition, some homeowner associations (HOAs) have rules about animals. Typical regulations cover the

number and type of pets, animal noise, and whether pets must be leashed.

There may be fees for animals and there are often rules on fencing as well.

What Pet Owners Want In many cases, a REALTOR® attuned to the needs and desires of pet owners can help homebuyers find the most suitable properties on the market.

Pet-friendly neighborhoods can be spotted by visiting at various times of the day. An important consideration is sidewalks for safety when exercising pets. Are people walking dogs and chatting with each other? Are there pet stations to easily dispose of pet waste?

Access to trails for extended walks is another plus.

Talking with pet owners living in a prospective neighborhood is also an excellent idea. You can ask about nearby dog parks where pets can be unleashed for play and exercise, good veterinarians in the area, pet licensing requirements, dog sitters, or even doggie day care.

Just as home shoppers with children favor properties in good school

districts with safe playing areas, people with pets are definitely swayed by pet-friendly features in a prospective home and neighborhood.

Good fencing is usually number one on the list for dog owners since it’s convenient to be able to let a dog out and know it’s safe. Repairing an existing fence or installing a new one can be an undesirable extra expense. There may be HOA limits on the type, height, or location of a fence and new fencing may have to pass an architectural review board, even if it’s one of those underground electric ones requiring a special “shock” collar on the animal.

Pets who are usually confined in the home or behind a fence can occasionally slip out. Is there heavy traffic on nearby streets? Are there wild animals that could be a menace? In Central Virginia, coyotes, foxes, raccoons, and even bears can pose a threat.

Next on the list, say many people with pets, are easy-to-clean floors.

When it comes to fur, mud, and, um, “accidents,” it’s much easier to clean floors of hardwood, laminate, or ceramic tile than wall-to-wall carpeting.

Another useful amenity is a place to wash a pet. Is there an outdoor area with a hose? Does the garage or laundry have a sink large enough for your pet?

When pets have their own secure spaces, they are less likely to get stepped on or to trip family members or their guests. A separate room with a door or gate is ideal. Often a laundry room can serve. Cat owners will appreciate an out-of-the-way yet accessible place for the litter box.

People with older pets may prefer a single-story home. Since cats love to look out windows, home buyers with cats will cast a favorable eye on wide windowsills and windows close to the floor.

Ground-floor condo units are often preferred over upper levels which can involve stairs or elevators whenever pets must be taken outdoors. Upper levels may pose another problem, especially for cats who love to watch out windows. Veterinarians have a term for animal injuries when windows and screens are not secure: “high-rise syndrome.”

So when you make your list of “wants” in your next home, be sure to write down your pets’ preferences as well so you can find a house the entire family—including four-footed members—will love. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live near Charlottesville in a definitely pet-friendly neighborhood where people often learn dogs’ names before they learn the names of the owners taking them for walks.
