NEWS & VIEWS Local Real Estate News Habitat and LEAP Partner to Reduce Heating and Cooling Costs for Southwood Mobile Home Park Residents Support from Dominion Energy, Albemarle County, and Anonymous Donor Fund Energy-Efficiency Improvements Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville and the Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) will launch an innovative pilot program this fall to improve the affordability, energy efficiency, safety, and comfort of 10 mobile homes in Southwood Mobile Home Park—at no cost to the homeowners. The program aims to significantly reduce the high energy bills many Southwood residents face as a result of poor insulation and inefficient HVAC systems in their homes.

Habitat owns the trailer pads at Southwood, but not the trailers themselves. This program will allow Habitat to team up with LEAP to significantly improve the near-term quality of life for the most vulnerable residents of the park as the organization works side-byside with the community to convert the neighborhood into a vibrant, 800- to 1,000-unit mixed-income, mixed-use neighborhood of permanent homes, without displacing the residents.

“The transformation of Southwood will take 10+ years, which means many of Southwood’s 1,500 residents will be living in aging, unsafe, energy-inefficient mobile homes for quite some time,” says Habitat President & CEO Dan Rosensweig. “This collaboration will improve the livability and affordability of Southwood homes during the ongoing redevelopment.”

LEAP’s Executive Director, Chris Meyer, says his organization is excited to expand their energy-efficiency services to include mobile home residents.

“Older mobile homes can be expensive to heat and cool,” Meyer says. “We often hear about $300+ heating bills for the month of February from mobile home owners, which can really blow up a tight budget.”

Funding for the pilot is being provided by Dominion Energy’s weatherization program for low-income and

elderly residents, Albemarle County’s climate program, and an anonymous donor. Habitat will work with the Southwood community to select the mobile homes for the pilot program by the end of September, while LEAP will execute all of the energy-efficiency work, like: adding roof insulation, tuning up and replacing HVAC systems, and sealing air leaks around windows and doors.

“This pilot program aligns with two of Albemarle County’s goals, reducing greenhouse emissions and increasing housing affordability,” says Ann Mallek, Albemarle County Board of Supervisors member. “The County is pleased to support this effort, and looks forward to learning the results.”

LEAP staff are currently receiving additional training on retrofitting mobile homes, and will begin work on the first home in October. The goal is to complete work on the initial 10 homes before the end of the year to maximize energy and cost savings during the winter season.

After the pilot, the partners hope to fine-tune and replicate the program.

“The pilot can be a model for how partnerships like this can help tens of thousands of other mobile home dwellers in our region and across the nation,” Rosensweig says. “We look forward to learning from the pilot and hope to expand it.”

Meyer also sees the program’s impact reaching beyond Southwood. “Energy efficiency and lower utility bills are important pieces of ensuring affordable housing in our community,” he says. “Collaborating with Habitat is a great way to contribute a tangible solution to the region’s affordable housing challenge.”

The Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Charlottesville, VA. As a trusted nonprofit, LEAP delivers direct education and services for improved energy performance that address climate change; create cost savings for families and businesses; enable healthier, safer, and more durable buildings; and bolster local jobs and economic growth.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlottesville brings people together to build and rebuild homes and communities while catalyzing new path-

ways to safe, decent affordable housing.

Our work has evolved from building one house at a time to developing vibrant, sustainable, mixed-income communities, where hardworking local families can achieve their dreams of homeownership. Since our founding in 1991, we have built more than 200 new homes and safely housed 2,000 neighbors, thanks to the commitment and dedication of our thousands of volunteers and supporters.

What’s Happening Around Town?

Free Showing Of National Geographic Documentary PARIS TO PITTSBURGH The National Geographic documentary film, Paris to Pittsburgh, will be shown free of charge at Unity, 2825 Hydraulic Road in Charlottesville, on Sunday, September 15 at 1:00 p.m. The free film showing is co-sponsored by Unity, Piedmont Group of the Sierra Club, Citizens’ Climate Lobby, Virginia Interfaith Power & Light, and Wild Virginia. After the film, there will be a brief question and answer period hosted by representatives of the co-sponsoring environmental groups.

Spotlighting the cities, states, businesses and citizens taking action, Paris to Pittsburgh explores the very real social and economic impacts of climate change-fueled disasters, from America’s heartland to the nation’s coastlines. The film features voices from local leaders as well as everyday Americans presenting the stories behind climate-related recovery and resilience, as well as tireless innovative efforts to reduce carbon emissions, including boomtowns formerly reliant on coal such as Pittsburgh.

“Climate change is an undeniable existential threat to our planet and to all living beings,” said Rev. Don Lansky, co-minister of Unity. “This makes the discussion about climate change not only a political debate, but a moral and ethical one as well.”

Paris to Pittsburgh brings to life the impassioned efforts of individuals who are battling the most severe threats of

climate change in their own backyards.

Set against the national debate over the United States’ energy future—and the current administration’s decision to exit the Paris Climate Agreement. The film captures what’s at stake for communities around the country, and the inspiring ways Americans are responding by taking change into their own hands and not waiting for Washington to act.

For more information about the free showing of Paris to Pittsburgh, please visit: www.unitycharlottesville.org or call (434) 978-1062.

Hope’s Legacy Equine Rescue Wins ASPCA Help a Horse Home Challenge Prize for their Efforts to Find More Homes for Horses More than 1,500 horses adopted across the country during the annual #HelpAHorse Challenge Hope’s Legacy Equine Rescue, Inc. has been awarded a $10,000 prize from the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) as part of its annual Help a Horse Home ChallengeSM. The nationwide competition for equine rescues, shelters and sanctuaries is designed to increase adoptions of equines around the country. Hope’s Legacy’s prize was awarded based on their increase in adoptions from April 26 to June 30, compared to last year. More than 170 groups across the country participated, with a total of 13 prizes awarded nationwide.

“The ASPCA Help a Horse Home Challenge is a wonderful opportunity for Hope’s Legacy to raise awareness about the horses we have available for adoption and place them in good homes,” said Maya Proulx, Executive Director of Hope’s Legacy.

“We are thrilled to receive this award from the ASPCA to support our commitment to providing care for horses in need. The true winners are the horses, miniatures and donkeys who were adopted into new loving homes during the contest period, and the Hope’s Legacy residents who will benefit from the contest money.”

Hope’s Legacy adopted out 19 equines during the contest’s twomonth period. Included in this group of equines were two horses who had been at Hope’s Legacy since the Peaceable Farm seizure in late 2015. Charlotte and Ginger were among the 29 horses Hope’s Legacy took from that

Electrify Your Ride VA Hosts Community Events about Electric Cars Electric cars are fun to drive, save time and money on maintenance and fuel costs compared to gas-powered cars, and now come in models that are affordable to millions of Virgin-

ians. What’s more, switching from a gas-powered to an electric vehicle could reduce fossil fuel emissions from their drives by 64 percent or more. These are just some of the reasons Electrify Your Ride VA is hosting four fun and educational events across the region to educate Virginians about electric cars and accelerate the area’s transition to electric transportation. Here are the details: WHEN & WHERE • Richmond: Sept. 14 – 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Dorey Park Farmers Market • Charlottesville: Sept. 15 – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sprint Pavillion • Roanoke: Sept. 21 – 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Church Ave. & S. Jefferson St. • Fairfax: Sept. 22 – 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Old Town Square Park WHAT Four free events during National Drive Electric Week (Sept. 14-22) where community members can sit behind the wheel of various models of electric cars (and take a drive in some locations) and speak with local electric car owners about why they decided to switch from a gas-powered to an electric car. Events also include: • FREE food and/or refreshments • Activities for kids • Food vendors • Live music (Charlottesville) WHO Electrify Your Ride VA, a campaign to raise awareness about the benefits of driving electric, is a collaboration of nonprofits Generation180, Green Energy Consumers Alliance, and Virginia Clean Cities.

horrible situation. They spent almost 4 years in the Rescue’s care. “These horses stay with us until we find the right fit for them, and for the families they go to,” said Proulx.

“The ASPCA is committed to supporting the many groups nationwide working tirelessly to find safe, loving homes for the horses in their care, and the ASPCA Help a Horse Home Challenge provides an effective way for these groups to reach potential equine adopters,” said Dr. Emily Weiss, vice president of ASPCA Equine Welfare.

“We are in awe of the innovative and thoughtful ways this year’s contestants found more homes for horses and we are pleased to award this prize to Hope’s Legacy for their outstanding achievements during the contest, which contributed to more than 1,500 horses being adopted.”

Now in its sixth year, the ASPCA’s annual Help a Horse initiative has been a meaningful way for equine rescues, shelters and sanctuaries to increase awareness for their lifesaving work to help at-risk horses by competing to win valuable grant funding and additional resources.

This year, Zoetis US LLC generously donated its new vaccine, CORE EQ Innovator™, for every equine adopted during the two-month challenge period, and Conair® provided more than $300,000 in grooming supplies to be included in prize packages. Additionally, participants were invited to promote their equines on My Right Horse, a public listing site created by The Right Horse Initiative for equines in transition.

Hallowheels is coming to Charlottesville!

Bennett’s Village, in partnership with Virginia CATS (Children’s Assistive Technology Service) will be bringing Hallowheels to the Charlottesville area this fall!

Hallowheels is a program started by CATS that builds fantastic Halloween costumes around kids’ wheelchairs, changing something that may be a boundary to social interactions into something that helps kids feel cool and special. This year, with the help of UVA’s Drama Department and members of our community, we hope to make costumes for 4-5 lucky kids.

To make this happen, we need your support. If you want to help with the creative part of this process, please reply to this email or contact Brian Gibney at brian.gibney@gmail.com before September 21st.

Each kiddo will also need a sponsor—an individual or organization—to fund their costumes. Sponsorship of a child requires only a $200 donation. It takes a small amount to make a huge difference for one lucky kid!

In addition to knowing that you’ll make a child’s Halloween special, sponsors will be listed on the CATS and Bennett’s Village websites and social media channels, as well as listed in local media coverage of the event.

To sponsor a kid, please contact Cathie Cummins, CATS Executive Director, at cathie@atdevicesforkids.org or 540-493-2285.

To learn more about Bennett’s Village, see bennettsvillage.org.

New in 2020: conferences focused on Criminal Justice Reform, Health Equity, and Education Equity.

And, as always, our ever-popular Festival will feature hundreds of free community events throughout the week, including a weekend-long Block Party, locally-led workshops, art reveals, and pitch competitions. Whatever your niche, there’s a place for you at Tom Tom! Come build community with us.

The town of Scottsville, variously called diverse, unique and special by local REALTORS®, sits at a bend in the James River at the intersection of Routes 20 and 6 overlapping the three counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna and Buckingham.

Residents are proud of the town’s 153 nationally recognized and historically significant buildings as well as the growing number of attractions that make it a vibrant and popular place to visit and a friendly spot to put down roots.

Scottsville may be for you if you want a laid-back lifestyle loaded with fun outdoor activities, essential shopping, the arts, music, restaurants and historic preservation. And there’s more. This quaint, friendly community is just a 20-minute drive from Charlottesville.

Once upon a time, flooding regularly forced Scottsville’s business owners to shut down operations and leave their boarded-up buildings behind.

All of that changed when, in 1980, Federal money helped underwrite the cost of a protective levee allowing local businesses to thrive. The levee was “a godsend for the town,” says Tom Miles with Gayle Harvey Real Estate, Inc. Today the real estate market is active. First time buyers can find what they want in Scottsville as can those looking for an historic home, a farm or estate property, a river view or the privacy of a piece of land where they can build the perfect new home.

A Warm Welcome Scottsville is a “great little town, friendly and welcoming,” says Scott Ward with 1st Dominion Realty, Inc. A native of the area he adds that if you like to socialize you will find it easy to make new friends while you enjoy the peace and quiet of living in a small town where things are “slow on purpose.”

Transplants also love Scottsville.

of Long and Foster Real Estate, decided to move there for a quieter life.

He describes the town as a place with a “wonderful mix of people from all walks of life.” However, it was the warm community welcome he and his wife received when they first moved in that made them realize they had made the right choice.

Debi Dotson with Real Estate III, another transplant, moved to Scottsville 25 years ago. She describes her hometown as a place that is vibrant and friendly and attracts people who like art and music. And one of the things she loves the most about her Scottsville lifestyle is how very safe she feels.

She also loves the sense of community and the willingness of local folks to pitch in and help each other out.

One example is the annual Scottsville Clean-up Day when residents pitch in to clean up and straighten up the town.

They also gather to help after events such as the 4th of July festivities.

Miles describes a similar community effort to raise money for Little Learners, a local non-profit organization that offers “early childhood education based on developmental needs,” and helps meet the urgent need for affordable and quality child care.

Scottsville home buyers can choose from the school systems and lifestyles of three different counties. Albemarle is close-in to Charlottesville while Buckingham offers attractive home prices and noticeably lower taxes. Buyers who enjoy close contact with their neighbors may opt for living in Fluvanna County where they can choose from a variety of homes built in neighborhoods on smaller lots.

Scottsville has a “strong market that is very, very active,” Dotson says.

Statistics from the real estate website, Trulia show a 21.5 percent year-overyear increase in the median sales price for local homes as of July 31 indicating strong demand for housing. And as is

the case elsewhere in our region, agents describe a shortage of inventory, especially at the low end of the market.

Home prices range from $150 thousand to over $1 million with offerings to suit a wide range of buyers. If its priced under $250 thousand, Dotson says, it will sell quickly.

Ward agrees citing a couple of recent listings that sold in less than 30 days.

He enjoys working with first time buyers many of whom grew up in the area and want to live near family. However, he encourages newcomers to come down and be amazed. He also works with move-up buyers and downsizing retirees relocating from out of town.

With so many people shopping for homes online these days, Ward expresses surprise at the number of buyers who come to Scottsville for recreation, or to visit relatives and wander into his office with questions about moving there permanently. “It’s not unusual” he says for someone to walk in on a Saturday morning out of curiosity and end up buying a home.

They come from all over, Dotson says citing examples of buyers from Florida and the Midwest as recent examples. They often comment on the mild climate, and the location that is not as far south as Florida making it easier to visit relatives and friends back home.

The river is “a big draw,” Miles says.

He recently sold a riverfront lot and has three similar parcels under contract.

Buyers include retirees who are downsizing as well as a young couple who will be commuting to Charlottesville to work at the Medical Center.

For homebuyers who want to build on a large parcel, one option is a development called Rock Castle Creek on Route 6 west of town. So far four lucky families have built homes on 21 acre lots there, Miles says.

While the whole area is seeing activity, there appears to be a noticeable uptick in sales in Buckingham County, which is “doing well,” Miles says.

“There’s lots going on out there,” Dotson adds stating that the lower taxes and prices are appealing. An added feature is internet access that is not always available in rural counties, she adds.

Ray Caddell, Broker with Ray Caddell & Co. Real Estate, has also seen an increase in activity in Buckingham reporting he has had more sales there this last year than in all of his previous 30 years in real estate.

Outdoor Fun Many people come to Scottsville for outdoor activities. Visit the Town’s website (Scottsville.org) for information about where to rent canoes, kayaks and tubes for rides down the river.

And if you enjoy camping, information about Horseshoe Flats campground that can accommodate 25 RVs and 25 tents is also available.

stocked with sunfish, channel catfish, and largemouth bass. The park also has 3 miles of hiking trails.

The Van Clief natural area, a 63-acre park right in the center of town, features Scottsville Lake that is stocked with trout by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and open to the public. Plans for the area include hiking trails and a dock to be developed with the help of volunteers, yet another way this community comes together for a common project.

The river is the scene of one of Scottsville’s most famous outdoor events, the James River Batteau Festival, celebrated every year in June.

Batteaux are flat bottomed boats that hauled people and goods to Richmond via Scottsville before railroads and interstates. Participants build their own batteaux and recreate part of this journey dressed in period costumes.

Or experience life as it once was by taking a ride on the Hatton Ferry. On weekends between April and October, visitors can ride across the river between Albemarle and Buckingham Counties just west of Scottsville on what is the last poled ferry in the United States.

And coming this Saturday, September 14, Scottsville presents Rivertown Fest from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Enjoy family friendly activities such as the farmers market, free health screenings, face painting, a petting zoo, vendors, food and drink and free music. Visit the Town’s website or Facebook page for more info.

Food and Drink Another high point for Scottsvillers is the local restaurants, which attract their share of visitors. Barnett, who has lived in Scottsville for years and knows everyone in town, says it is not unusu-

al to walk into a packed restaurant for Sunday brunch and see many more tables of visitors than locals.

One popular activity occurs every week at Tavern on the James, a place that Miles says “has done a great job over the last eight years.”

Called Party on the Patio the Thursday event from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. features Ward accompanied on keyboards

by Ethan Hamburg who formerly toured with Merle Haggard. Regulars enjoy being greeted by the Scottettes, a group of eight fans who have a special table and love to encourage tourists to get up and dance to the music.

For those who want a place to read, talk or just hang out, Scottsville has its own coffee and book store, Baines Scottsville that is doing “wonderful things,” Ward says. Baines features espresso drinks and food such as baked goods, quiches and salads and is known as a great place to relax and surf the net while you catch up on local gossip.

Other Scottsville favorites include Barefoot Country Store, a general store “with excellent food,” Miles says. Barefoot features burgers on Fridays (including veggie burgers) and cinnamon rolls every Saturday morning. Or check out James River Brewery that features Community Tap Nights—a way to give back to local non-profits—and special events such as Trivia Night, and Thirsty Tuesday.

Scottsville’s Rich History When the river was essential for commerce, Scottsville’s location made

it an important commercial center. It also served as the Albemarle County seat from 1744 until 1761.

As a drop-off point for agricultural goods moving from Staunton to Richmond, the town became one of the largest grain markets in the state and home to many wealthy families. Today you can see “well-preserved Greek Revival, Colonial and Craftsman stores, churches and homes [that] earned the town a place on the National Register of Historic Places as the ‘Scottsville Historic District,’” according to the town’s website.

Scottsville was home to an ammunition storehouse during the Revolutionary War and during the Civil War served the Confederate cause by transporting supplies to the battlefields and providing a hospital for soldiers.

During that conflict, Union troops did major damage to the canal in an effort to cut Confederate supply lines diminishing Scottsville’s importance.

By the late 1800s, when river traffic gave way to rail, the town lost what remained of its prominence.

Today Scottsville is popular once again, and known as a quaint, artsy and thriving community next door to Charlottesville. Call your REALTOR® today for more information. You may find just what you are looking for in this nearby place that has so much to offer visitors and residents of all ages and interests.

MY WHAT?

Home Energy Score is a project developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to provide a way to directly compare information about a property’s energy usage. It’s almost like a miles-per-gallon rating for a vehicle.

Home Energy Scores are shown on a simple one-to-ten scale—ten being the best—and estimate a home’s energy use as well as offering ideas to cost-effectively improve its efficiency.

There are many benefits to improving your energy score, whether a single-family home or a large business.

These can include reducing your energy costs along with pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and the consumption of natural resources. In other words, this is a win-win for your wallet, your community and the world!

DOE-trained Home Energy Score Assessors can provide an energy audit.

In and around Charlottesville, a good place to start is with the Local Energy Alliance Program, also known as LEAP.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

HOUSE & HOME

What’s LEAP? LEAP is our Local Energy Alliance Program. Formed ten year ago, it’s a community-based organization providing property owners with a one-stop source of what to do, whom to consult and how to pay for improvements to make their dwelling more efficient with lower energy costs.

The non-partisan, non-profit alliance involves key stakeholders in the community such as the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, Dominion Power, the University of Virginia, and Piedmont Virginia Community College. Advisory committees involve contractors and regional non-profits.

LEAP’s mission is to show people in our community how to conserve water and energy while working toward job creation, local economic development and good environmental practices.

LEAP can also suggest avenues of financing and existing financial incentives from all levels of government and local utilities.

Since most new homes are built with an eye to energy efficiency, energy audits can be especially important for older homes.

Case in point: One couple suspected their 1930s vintage home could be more efficient and were they ever right!

Their LEAP audit showed that although they had installed all new win-

tion—the highest rating possible—for achievement in green homebuilding and design.

Interested residents are invited to visit the offices to see how energy and water improvements can be achieved in their own homes. Call 434-227-4666 for an appointment or to schedule a tour for your school, office, or civic group. There are educational displays throughout the house.

What’s Your

HOME’S

ENERGY SCORE?

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

dows for energy and security reasons their efficiency gains had been small.

Recommendations to improve their efficiency included better vapor barriers, air sealing and improved insulation.

First, the owners had foam insulation installed. Because it expands during installation, spray foam tightly seals even small crannies. Its resistance value—that is, its ability to provide an air-tight seal—ranks R-6, the highest on the market. It also is effective as a moisture barrier.

After foam insulation was installed and their furnace replaced with a high-efficiency heat pump using new duct work, these homeowners say their house is quieter with healthier indoor air quality, and they saved “hundreds of dollars” on last winter’s heating bills. They also feel they are polluting less, which really makes them happy.

Seeing is Believing LEAP’s main office is located in ecoREMOD at 608 Ridge Street. Now owned by the City of Charlottesville, the once-neglected dwelling—at one time the subject of many nuisance calls to the police—has been transformed into an innovative energy demonstration house.

The City of Charlottesville took the lead in partnership with the University of Virginia, Alloy Workshop, Dominion Power, and others. The project demonstrates how residential energy efficiency can be achieved in our community by preserving an historic home and attaining close-to-zero net energy use.

The finished ecoREMOD project was awarded the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certifica-

LEAP offers a special energy-audit price of only $45 for Charlottesville City and Albemarle County residents .

While a positive energy assessment may provide an edge when selling, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can expect a higher price. On the other hand, buyers who are “green” are often willing to pay more.

If low energy costs are something to brag about, leave recent gas, electric, and water bills on the kitchen counter, showing savings in black and white.

How to Get an Audit Generally audits run between $100 and $300 depending on the size of your property and you can find qualified energy analysts online.

LEAP offers a special energy-audit price of only $45 for Charlottesville City and Albemarle County residents.

Expect an assessment to take around 90 minutes with a certified Residential Building Analyst including an infrared camera scan, a blower door test, a checklist of possible energy-saving improvements and, in many cases, the installation of free energy efficient products. While some changes are relatively expensive, financial help may be available.

Blower door test? Yes, we wondered, too. This remarkable procedure involves a special “door” mounted on one of your exterior doors. The blower then measures the airtightness of your home. The test results can indicate the location of air leakages and just how large they are, resulting in recommendations of steps to take to fix them.

For more information, visit LEAP’s website at leap-va.org, where you can make an appointment for an audit, read inspiring case histories and find other useful pointers.

Energy-conscious Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in a 3-bedroom, all-electric home near Charlottesville. Their Dominion Power bill for August was under $50 and their water bill was less than $22.
