The 2016 class marks the 21st year for eight CAAR members and the first year for five members.

What’s Happening Around Town? VFH’s Encyclopedia Virginia Announces Not Even Past, A Podcast for Story Lovers On March 1, 2017 Encyclopedia Virginia (EV) will release the first six episodes of its new podcast, Not Even Past, created for history lovers and anyone who loves a good story.

duced by Miranda Bennett, and distributed in partnership with the Teej.fm podcast network of WTJU, the University of Virginia’s community radio station. It will also be available on iTunes and EncyclopediaVirginia.org. For each episode, Wolfe will comb through the encyclopedia looking for the most interesting people and provocative questions. One episode will tell the story of a Virginia woman who preyed on chivalrous men to become one of the most successful spies of the Civil War. Another will dig into a court case that began with a bowl of poisoned strawberries and ended with a verdict that left Virginia, even the nation, stunned. And that’s not even to mention the mesmerist, the magician, and the Virginia Indian who won an audience with King Philip of Spain.

“These are meant to be just really good stories,” explains Matthew Gibson, EV’s editor and director of digital initiatives at VFH. “They’re ten or so minutes of just sitting back and enjoying a tightly crafted tale. Plus, the podcast format allows us to reach a whole new audience. We want people to understand that what you can find in Encyclopedia Virginia is more than just information— although there’s plenty of that. You can find actual lives, dramas being lived out, stuff that you had no idea was there but once you hear it will linger with you for a day or two. We’re really excited about it.” About Encyclopedia Virginia EV publishes topical and biographical entries written by scholars, edited for

a general audience, and vigorously fact checked. Content creation is a work in progress, with more than 1,000 entries currently live on the site and new entries published regularly. EV features more than 700 primary documents and thousands of media objects, including two and three-dimensional images, audio and visual clips, and links to Google Street View tours of historic sites. One of the only humanities projects using this technology, EV currently offers twenty-nine virtual tours of sites such as Poplar Forest, Montpelier, Bacon’s Castle, and Menokin, with more in the works.

Teej reaches a global audience while being rooted in a corps of UVA and Charlottesville-based producers.

BUYERS LOVE

Albemarle's Lifestyle and Abundant Natural Beauty BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER

lbemarle County is a popular place to live offering many attractive amenities. Home sales are brisk with interested buyers actively keeping an eye out for new listings. It’s not just the resale home market that is hot. Builders are also busy as inventory shortages and demand for green features and more functional floor plans send many buyers in search of a brand new home. The county’s comprehensive plan requires that growth and development be restricted to 5 percent of its area, which means subdivisions and essential services are concentrated in places such as Pantops on the east of town, Crozet to the west and Hollymead to the north. Another active spot is south of Charlottesville, where neighborhoods have new life thanks to the opening of 5th Street Station. Buyers will find a range of housing options to choose from, everything from condos and townhomes to gated communities, horse farms and estates. Albemarle also features walkable neighborhoods where residents who want more interaction can enjoy shops, gyms, restaurants, coffeehouses, salons and other gathering places without ever leaving their community. On the other hand, those preferring the privacy of country life will find many rural areas are protected from future development by a growing number of conservation easements. Exceptional scenery featuring mountain views is a big part of Albemarle’s appeal as are the many outdoor activities available there. Whether you enjoy hiking and fishing, running, walking, biking or horseback riding and tennis you will find it nearby when you live in Albemarle. The Charlottesville-Albemarle area consistently receives high marks for being a great place to live, thanks to its natural beauty, the four-seasons climate, availability of recreational activities and low health care costs, plus a healthy economy that features low unemployment and a growing high tech sector.

Albemarle’s Real Estate Market Thanks to its lifestyle offerings and close-in location, Albemarle has an active real estate market, where the biggest challenge is a lack of inventory. Barbara McMurry with Montague, Miller & Co. said that the 2017 market in Albemarle is “off to a good start.” She added that there is plenty of mortgage money available and interest rates are still low. Of course it is a real plus

that the weather has decided to cooperate this year with a very mild winter. She joked that agents used to say “the bugs and the buyers come out at the same time,” which historically has been at least March. However this year, she said, the spring market really got started in January. Unfortunately, McMurry continued, the early spring market has not meant an easing of the inventory shortage. Describing buyers’ eagerness to find the right house she said that many are “camped out” just waiting for a house with the right price, style and location. Her advice to buyers is that they need to be ready to act quickly, with a pre-approval letter in hand. Judy Savage with Keller Williams Realty also expressed concern about the lack of inventory. “The market in Albemarle County is pretty tight right now because of the lack of inventory in price ranges under $450,000,” she said stating “there are fewer houses on the market and it is driving prices up.” She went on to say that she recently listed a 50-year-old single family home for $289,900 and in less than 24 hours had six competing offers that pushed the price over $300,000. That was after 10 showings. And yet another of her listings, priced at $430,000, sold the same day she put it on the market.

Jim Duncan with Nest Realty described the market in what he called “the City and urban county,” as “significantly active,” with buyers coming from “all demographics.” He looks forward to more homes coming on the market as it is not uncommon for them to go under contract quickly, sometimes in as short a time as a few days making it challenging for buyers. The new construction market is also doing “very well overall,” he added. “The real estate market in Albemarle County is brisk,” reports Marina Ringstrom with Long and Foster Real Estate. “The continued influx of new construction has been a strong factor,” she continued adding “to compete, existing homes must be priced well, in good condition, and where necessary, upgraded.”

Rural Properties Popular in Albemarle While all of our region can boast scenic beauty as a benefit, Albemarle has the additional advantage of being the county closest in to the many advantages of Charlottesville such as quality hospitals, restaurants, the Downtown Mall, the University, jobs and other social and cultural amenities. Even for buyers who love the privacy of a rural home or estate, the push is to live as close in as possible.

new construction, single-family homes are more in the $500,000 range, they are out of reach for most first timers unless they opt for a town house. Many buyers are apparently opting for attached homes such as a town house. CAAR’s recent Year End Market Report stated that year-over-year closed sales of detached homes in Al-

bemarle County increased 5.6 percent compared to the end of 2015. Attached home sales during that same period increased 41.7 percent.

Albemarle’s Buyers “Buyers continue to move here from all over the country,” Ringstrom said adding that “Charlottesville is still

being hailed as one of the very best 17 places in the country to retire, raise a family and do business.” She moved to Charlottesville in 1996 and is currently a resident of Glenmore in the Keswick area of Albemarle County with no plans to move.

For example, John Ince with Nest Realty Associates has found that compared to years past, rural buyers are more focused on being close to town. A veteran of 30 years in the Charlottesville real estate market, Ince says “I’ve seen a change in attitude in this current generation of near-retirees. They enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside but really appreciate all that Charlottesville has to offer as well. That makes any country property inside 20 minutes from town, golden.” Ringstrom cited the growth of services at both Pantops and 5th Street Station as being important for those who “prefer rural destinations, but not more than 10-15 minutes away from shopping and health care.”

Inventory shortages are especially challenging for first time buyers who want to live in Albemarle County or the City of Charlottesville. However, some options continue to be available. “They are not a huge part of the market,” McMurry said but they are available in town and in Albemarle County. Savage agrees stating that “of the six offers I received in the last twenty-four hours, they were all first time home buyers utilizing low down payment type financing.” She added that since

called his part of the county the “Eden of the United States.” For people who move here from up north, part of the draw is the climate, which is relatively mild but still has four seasons. And it’s not uncommon for people to move someplace like Florida, and then relocate to Charlottesville after a couple of years of no autumn or spring. Agents jokingly call them “half-backs” for moving all the way south, then half way back. Of course they also appreciate the much lower prices, property tax rates, and heating costs compared to the Northeast, or Northern Virginia.

and decide, after a few trips, to become permanent Albemarle residents. Of course history buffs will find a lot to like about Albemarle. Founded in 1744, it was named for its governor, Willem Anne van Keppel, 2nd Earl of Albemarle, an American colonist and British diplomat. The original county seat was Scottsville located on the James River, the quickest way to transfer goods from east to west prior to railroads. Charlottesville became the county seat in 1761, and Albemarle’s current boundaries were formalized in 1777 after several surrounding counties split off and became their own entities. Two of our founding fathers and former Presidents, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, are native to Albemarle, and today their respective estates, particularly Jefferson’s Monticello, bring thousands of visitors to Albemarle County from all over the world. Monticello, a designated National Historic Landmark, is also a United Nations World Heritage site and attracts over 450,000 people a year.

Albemarle is also very popular amongst those who love the outdoors. The county offers everything from fly fishing and canoeing to walking, hiking, biking, running and horseback riding. McMurry, a runner, says it is wonderful to have “so many great places to run,” including the county’s parks available for year around outdoor activities. For those who prefer to ride horses, two of Albemarle’s parks, Preddy Creek and Patricia Ann Byrom Forest Preserve Park offer 70 miles of riding trails, and in some areas such as Keswick in east Albemarle County, they can also ride on private property. Pam Dent with Gayle Harvey Real Estate said that Keswick is known as an area that allows horse lovers to ride on large unbroken sections of farmland. “The landowners are passionate about this tradition,” she said. Other popular activities in the county that draw both residents and visitors are its wineries and orchards. Many of these rural businesses also participate in what is now called agri-tourism offering wine tastings and pick your own fruit, such as apples and pumpkins, in season. These agri-businesses are part of what McMurry calls the “rural flavor” of Albemarle, representing the 95 percent of the county that is not developed. And it’s not unusual for visitors to come to enjoy these many outdoor activities,

People move to Albemarle for many reasons. They come for jobs at the University and the growing high-tech sector. And, of course, many University grads who fell in love with the region when they were students, often return here when they are ready to retire, enjoying the outdoor activities and the enrichment available through their alma mater’s non-credit courses. Access to quality medical care is a big factor, especially for retirees who want all of the area’s amenities plus the security of knowing they have the best possible care when needed. The US News and World Report recently ranked UVA Hospital as #1 in Virginia, and #3 nationally in 3 adult and 4 pediatric specialties, while Martha Jefferson was ranked #12 in Virginia and high performing in 5 procedures/conditions. Families appreciate Albemarle’s top ranked school system recently ranked #5 in the state by Niche.com using such indicators as test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, and teacher quality. From very early on, Albemarle has been known for its horse farms and incomparable natural beauty. Today it offers a host of modern amenities that make it a popular choice for a wide range of buyers. Call your agent today to help you find the best Albemarle County home for you. n Celeste Smucker is a writer, blogger and author who lives near Charlottesville

HOUSE & HOME

MARCH 8 - MARCH 14, 2017 ISSUE 26-10

n colonial times, people automatically repurposed items when they broke or wore out. Today repurposing is still a smart practice because it keeps things out of the waste stream, saves on fuel for trash trucks, and reduces the need for disposal sites which can pollute the air and water. Reuse also means less demand for raw materials such as wood, iron, and petroleum that are expensive to lumber, mine, and drill. Simply put, reusing and repurposing can extend the life of many things. On a large scale it means converting Charlottesville’s former Martha Jefferson Hospital into the home of CFA and incorporating “green” features such as a water reuse system reducing public water usage by 70 percent and solar panels enabling it to operate on 22 percent less energy than a similarly-sized office. On a personal scale, some people convert an old firehouse or barn into a dwelling. On a much smaller scale reuse might mean turning a wobbly table top into a toy chest lid, bending unmatched flatware into coat hooks, or using an antique window to create a glass-topped coffee table, or display a collection of shells, thimbles, or autographed baseballs.

Make Your Home Unique With Repurposing

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

When you repurpose items, you announce your concern about our planet while creating an interesting home. For starters, don’t buy new. Check Craigslist, a Habitat for Humanity Resale store, or local thrift shops for everything from dishes, dog houses, or dressers to sinks, windows, and doors. Some upscale consignment shops stock

Repurposing IS GOOD FOR YOUR COMMUNITY

& Your Wallet BY MARILYN PRIBUS

designer clothing, handsome home accessories and fine furniture, and you can also often purchase sturdy, solid-wood furniture for the price of far less durable you-assemble-it items. There are endless ideas. For example, when former City Market Manager Judy Johnson built a second dwelling on her property, she went out of her way to employ many good-quality previously-used items and economized at the same time. “I fulfilled my dream of creating the cottage while ‘rebirthing’ many of the things in it,” Johnson says. During construction she collected used antique

What Can I Do With This? A great “find” can lead to some brainstorming sessions. Say you scored an irresistible church pew at a yard sale but now it’s taking up garage space because it’s just too darn big. Why not cut out a section to make it smaller? Use the carved ends to make the base of a table or buffet? Turn it on end and add shelves to make a bookcase to fit in the corner of a room? One family laid a broken old fridge on its back and converted it into a cooler for their deck. They removed the defunct motor, mounted it on some sturdy legs, and for safety, ensured the door

ering or refinished to show an interesting wood grain. Another site suggests twenty (really!) things to do with old books including making a “book safe” (paint page edges with white glue and hollow out the middle) or using pages as wallpaper. What could you do with that fancy antique mirror you “inherited” when your folks moved to a retirement place? Use it as a picture frame? Replace the mirror with wood and use it as a serving tray? Fasten it to your medicine cupboard to accent the bathroom? How about an old door? You can make the classic desk or craft table by stacking it on crates to provide shelf space. Apply some “chalkboard” paint to create a blackboard, or mount on a wall to serve as a headboard. Use as the seat for a porch swing. Mason jars can be used for drinking glasses, vases, storage of rice or other dry products, collecting change for a special project, growing sprouts from alfalfa or radish seeds with the addition of a screen top, making a chandelier, and other clever tactics. (You can even use them for canning or preserving.) Other ideas: convert the kids’ outgrown “little red wagon” into mobile garden tool stowage, create a light fixture from wine bottles or those once-popular Jell-O molds, or convert a rolling pin into a towel holder. Finally, when it is time to dispose of something, don’t just put it next to your trashcan. Often items can be sold via the internet, a yard sale, or a consignment store. People also can donate to thrift stores to support local charities and some non-profits will pick up large items. And if you offer something for free, you inevitably find someone happy to repurpose it for themselves. Rusty old tomato cages, bicycles missing a chain, old carpeting—the list is amazing.

Mason jars can be used for drinking glasses, vases, storage of rice or other dry products, or collecting change for a special project doors, windows, cabinetry and even a big claw-footed bathtub from various sources. One excellent find was a large former entertainment center from a thrift store for only $25. She turned it on its side, painted it to match the walls and it now looks like custom built-in shelving.

(now the lid) was secured when not in use. And boy, does it keep things cold. Googling provides nearly endless, clever repurposing ideas. One site, for instance, shows a small fancy table cut in half with the cut side against a wall to create a shallow, legged shelf. It could be painted to accent the wall cov-

A repurposing lifestyle is kind to the environment and your budget while lending unique personality to your home. n Marilyn Pribus and her husband live in Albemarle County. She finds many uses for canning jars—both antiques in pale blue shades and those from the pasta sauce she bought at the grocery last week.
