CAAR Homes Sales Report 4th Quarter 2021 Market Report Key Takeaways Economic Conditions • Economic conditions in Virginia continued to improve in the fourth quarter, with broad-based job gains and another drop in the unemployment rate. The employment picture also improved in the Charlottesville region, with the unemployment rate falling back to prepandemic levels.

• Despite steady economic progress, consumer confidence remains weak, as individuals and families face rising prices and a surge in COVID-19 cases.

The measure of expectations of future economic conditions fell to a 16-month low in December 2021.

REAL ESTATE NEWS

• Mortgage rates began to tick up at the end of 2021. Persistently high inflation will prompt the Federal Reserve to raise the federal funds rate in 2022, which will push mortgage rates even higher in the months to come.

Housing Market Conditions • There were 1,228 homes sold in the CAAR region during the fourth quarter.

Sales were down 5% compared to last year at this time, a decline of 59 sales. This is the second quarter in a row of year-overyear sales declines in the region.

• Home prices continued to rise in the CAAR area, though at a slower pace. In the third quarter, the median sales price was $369,900, which is up 6% over a year ago, a gain of nearly $22,000.

• Inventory continued to fall in the CAAR region. There were 436 active listings across the CAAR footprint at the end of the fourth quarter, which is 33% fewer listings than this time last year.

Economic Overview Virginia’s economy continued to improve steadily through the end of 2021. Despite concerns that the new COVID variants would stall progress, the economy has been demonstrating resiliency driven by strong consumer demand, rising vaccination rates, and pandemic fatigue. There have been six months of steady job growth in the state, with widespread economic improvements

across Virginia’s metro areas. The state’s unemployment rate continues to fall and remains lower than the national rate.

There are some risks to the state’s economic recovery, including rising inflation and interest rates, but, in general, strong underlying fundamentals suggest ongoing economic growth. Positive economic trends will support a strong housing market in Virginia in 2022.

In November 2021, there were 3.97 million jobs in Virginia, which is an increase of 82,600 compared to a year ago and a gain of 13,600 jobs between October and November. While the number of jobs in the commonwealth is still 3% below where it was in early 2020, it is expected that by the end of 2022, the state’s economy will be on solid footing and will have regained all of the jobs lost during the pandemic.

The statewide unemployment rate was 2.7% (not seasonally adjusted) in November and has been steadily declining since the beginning of 2021. In the Charlot-

tesville region, the unemployment rate fell to 2.3% in November, which is very similar to pre-pandemic levels.

New Construction New residential construction activity slowed in the fourth quarter of 2021, consistent with seasonal patterns. Overall, however, there were significantly more permits issued for new housing construction in 2021 than there were in either 2020 or 2019. During January through November 2021, there was a total of 1,217 permits issued for the construction of new homes in the region, including 824 singlefamily homes and 393 housing units in multifamily buildings (including duplexes, townhomes, and apartments). Compared to the first 11 months of 2020, housing construction in the region is up 34%, with an additional 306 housing units permitted for construction.

Single-family homes accounted for about two-thirds of all permitting activity in 2021. However, there was a surge in the construction of new multifamily buildings in the Charlottesville region. Between 2020 and 2021, the number of permits for new single-family homes increased by 15%, while the number of permits for multifamily units more than doubled.

Consumer Confidence Despite improvements in the job market, individuals and families are still cautious as they deal with high inflation and the COVID-19 omicron variant. In December 2021, consumers’ confidence in the present economic situation dipped slightly, falling to 153.3 from 162 in November. The future outlook remained pessimistic in December, with the measure of expected future economic conditions at 90.3, down from 93.3 a month earlier. (A consumer confidence index above 100 indicates people are feeling more optimistic about economic conditions.) Consumer confidence about future economic conditions is the lowest it has been since August 2020.

Mortgage Rates As 2021 ended, mortgage rates began to tick up slightly. At the end of December, the average rate on a 30-year fixedrate mortgage hit 3.11%. The Federal Reserve has announced they anticipate raising the federal funds rate three times in 2022, which will lead to a further rise in mortgage rates over the coming year.

Mortgage rates will stay low by historic standards, however, and will likely remain below 4% through the end of 2022.

Housing Market Overview The CAAR housing market continued to cool slightly in the fourth quarter, with slower sales activity driven primarily by rising home prices and a lack of available inventory leaving buyers with few choices.

There were slightly fewer sales in the fourth quarter compared to last year at this time.

Demand was still strong, however, as home prices continued to rise and the average days on market continued to fall. Inventory continued to shrink in the CAAR region, and is the biggest constraint on the region’s housing market.

Sales There were 1,228 sales across the

Sold Volume With slower sales activity, total sold dollar volume in the CAAR region declined slightly in the fourth quarter.

Regionwide, there was a total of approximately $557.9 million of sold volume during the fourth quarter. Sold volume was down 2% compared to a year ago; however, total sold dollar volume was up more than $160 million, or a gain of 40%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.

Despite slower sales activity, prices continued to rise quicky in the CAAR region in the fourth quarter. The median sales price was $369,900, which is up 6% compared to a year ago, a gain of nearly $22,000. In the Charlottesville area, the median home price is now more than $80,000 higher than it was four years ago.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, home prices were up strongly in the region’s outlying jurisdictions, while prices grew more modestly—or even dipped slightly— in the City of Charlottesville, Albemarle County, and Louisa County. The fourth

Inventory A lack of inventory is a primary driver of the slowdown in sales activity, with buyers facing an ever-shrinking supply.

In the CAAR footprint, there were 436 active listings in the region at the end of the fourth quarter, which is 213 fewer active listings than a year ago, a decline of 33%. The Charlottesville region remains one of the tightest housing markets in the state. Inventory is now just a third of what it was four years ago. At the state level, inventory also fell in the fourth

Sales activity slowed between the third and fourth quarters, which reflects typical seasonality in the housing market.

Statewide, the number of home sales in the fourth quarter was down 3% compared to a year ago and was 26% higher than fourth quarter 2019 sales totals.

While sales activity decelerated somewhat during the fourth quarter, demand remained strong, and homes continued to sell very quickly. Homes that sold in the fourth quarter in the CAAR region were on the market about a month on average, or 31 days, which is 24 days faster than a year ago. The average days on market in the CAAR region has been declining for five consecutive quarters and reflects tight market conditions.

There was just one month of supply at the end of the fourth quarter in the CAAR footprint, down from 1.6 months a year ago. The months of supply metric is calculated by taking the average monthly sales over the preceding 12-month period and dividing it by the inventory of active listings.

homas Jefferson called it “the Eden of the United States,” but you needn’t be so poetical.

Take 250 East out of Charlottesville for a mere nine miles, turn the radio off, take in the scene, and let your own words come.

You’ll be weaving your way through pristine countryside, with farms and mansions and heart-lifting views of the Southwest Mountains.

If “Virginia is for lovers,” the whole entire state, how does one do justice to one of its prettiest places? You just might have to wax poetical after all.

Designated the Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, the Keswick area’s most notable properties are its lavish old estates with their grand and imposing Federal, Greek Revival, and Georgian Revival plantation homes dating from the late 18th century.

Gated country club communities, a hunt club, vineyards and a cidery enhance this luxurious, peace in the valley living, just minutes from the comprehensive health care and the manifold resources and attractions of a vibrant college town.

The name itself derives from an English estate owned by the Reverend Thornton Rogers in the early 19th century.

He took it from the home of Robery Southey, an English Romantic poet (there we go again) properly grouped with William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor

notes Murdoch Matheson, of Frank Hardy Sotheby’s International Realty.

“Most of the farms’ owners have taken an interest in preserving the land, and that has an altruistic benefit to everybody who drives up and down that road, because it’s undeveloped rural farms.

“Most people are not making money off of their livestock there,” Matheson says. “They’re enjoying it.” Keswick’s sheep and cattle farms sit side by side with rolling equestrian farm and estate properties—“some of the most attractive and beautiful manicured horse farms” in the commonwealth Matheson calls them.

The whole area, says longtime resident Marina Ringstrom, REALTOR® with Long and Foster, is “dreamy. It’s a very, very special place.”

Coleridge, and the author of “The Story of the Three Bears”—or what we now know as “Goldilocks.”

Movie buffs have seen glimpses of our own Keswick in the 1956 film Giant (starring Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor), the Maryland portions of which were filmed at the old Keswick train station (now the dining hall of the Little Keswick School) and the Belmont Estate.

Blessedly free of urban development, Keswick hasn’t changed much since–or since Jefferson’s day, for that matter. The Route 22 and 231 crossroads, The New York Times says, is often cited as “one of the most scenic in America.” And it will stay that way.

“The majority of the land along the Southwest Mountain corridor is under permanent conservation easement,”

The 19 gentlemen who gathered at a home called Cloverfields in 1896 were “peaceful, law-abiding citizens, but dear lovers of the chase,” remembered one of their members, a Dr. Francis Lee Thurman. Their interest and intent was the pursuit of “Social Intercourse and Fox and Drag Hunting.” Their means was the founding of Keswick Hunt Club.

Now celebrating its 125th anniversary, the venerable club promotes the sport of fox hunting with organized hunts from September to March and social activities including trail rides throughout the year.

The Club helps out with a variety of community events and supports a number of charitable foundations including the

The Club’s annual “Barrister” award is named for one of Keswick’s finest dog hounds, “who had a great nose and really deep cry,” and goes to an individual who has excelled in working with the hounds during the off season, has represented Keswick and fox hunting well, and has lent a hand whenever it’s been needed.

Another Hunt Club tradition, the Thanksgiving Blessing of the Hounds in the yard of Grace Episcopal Church on Thanksgiving morning, dates to 1929.

Prayers, hymns and a hunt follow, and donations are collected for local animal shelters and other charities.

Keswick Vineyards Winery Keswick Vineyards Winery planted its original grape vines in 1999. Its current winemaker, Stephen Barnard, has been named one of the 100 most influential wine makers in the United States. You can enjoy its outdoor tasting bar and courtyard every day between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

12 ing Room features two copper bars, plus

terraces and lawns overlooking the vineyards. Reservations can be made for wine tastings and light bites.

What’s distinctive about Merrie Mill is what it calls its “maximalist style” and art. In collaboration with Elizabeth Pelly, Jenn Grandchamp of Kemble Interiors conceived of the tasting room as if it were an extension of the nearby Pelly home: highly designed and highly personal.

Merrie is currently offering wines from True Heritage, a collective of Virginia’s historic estate farms in this, the region that produced America’s first wines. Five beautiful European-style sharing platters, including hummus and fondue offerings, pair nicely with the wine. Desserts are optional but . . . why not?

Castle Hill Cider Is anything as bracing as a bite of a sweet and crispy apple?

The first Albemarle Pippin apples were grown on Castle Hill Estate way back in 1777. Today the folks at Castle Hill Cider use a variety of apples, some grown on their 600-acre grounds and some by a community of local growers to create twelve different ciders, from dry to sweet.

Dark cherry and tannic elderberry mingle with apple in the Castle Hill Rosé, while the Levity 2020, “wild fermented utilizing 8,000 year old techniques,” has a “spicy earthiness” with notes of orange peel and cardamom. The cidery’s outdoor pavilion, with its cedar posts, copper bar, and hardscaped patio, is open seven days a week.

Keswick Hall Much to do, much to see. Give yourself time to soak it all in.

You could put up for the night at the 600-acre luxury resort that is Keswick Hall (the 1,500-square-foot Presidential Suite may be booked already, sorry) and lunch and dine at Marigold, its new restaurant by the world renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. The fourcourse Valentine’s Day menu there begins with tuna tartare, caviar and chives, and concludes with Chocolate Ginger Tart or . . . but isn’t your mind made up now?

If it’s small plates and handcrafted cocktails you’re in the mood for, you can relax at Crawford’s with its plush

Keswick Hall

furnishings and butterfly wall art. If strong coffee, lattes, juices, and house made breads appeal, drop by the carefully curated marketplace called The Counter.

Keswick Hall’s eighty guestrooms adjoin the 1912 Italianate-style manor house and include 42 suites. Guests enjoy the estate’s impressive panoramas in an outdoor infinity pool, on seven tennis courts, and on the award-winning 18hole Full Cry golf course designed by Pete Dye. Some prefer the lovely hiking trails.

Within the neighborhood of Keswick Estate are 45 home sites currently on offer by Frank Hardy Sotheby’s International Realty, including lakefront and golf course lots ranging from two to five acres and featuring distinctive landscape variations. Prices range from $290,000 to $595,000.

“There is a lot of real estate for people to buy right now,” Matheson says, “and to be that close to a world-class golf course

and tennis and hotel resort is pretty special. We have a development of home sites and spec houses—really beautiful $2-3 million custom homes.”

If this sounds too pricey, there are lots as low as $59,000. “There are all ranges of homes in the Keswick area,” Matheson says, “and they’re not only on Route 231.

Along the side roads there are all manner and sizes of houses. You can have a big farm one place and then a couple of much smaller houses on a side road. It’s a wide variety.”

Glenmore One of Keswick’s original thoroughbred horse farms is now a 1,300-acre, 800-home gated community called Glenmore. An 18-hole, par-72 golf course meanders throughout the development, as do miles of riding, biking, and walking trails. Lovely trees and beautiful views of the Southwest Mountains lift the heart, and right at the entrance is the only onsite equestrian center in a country club community in the country. The elegant Georgian style Clubhouse features a magnificent ballroom.

“When you turn off 250 into Glenmore,” says Ringstrom, who has called it home for 24 years, “your blood pressure drops. Glenmore is very, very unique.

Being able to jog and walk your dog along the Rivanna River and then in five minutes be in your house having coffee,” Ringstrom says, or “the fact that you can sit at the dining room at Glenmore Country Club, look out the windows and see Monticello . . . it’s spectacular!”

The golf course, designed by John LaFoy, is challenging and gorgeous. The racquets sports facilities includes nine Hydro Har-Tru tennis courts, three deco hard courts featuring 60’ junior court lines, four dedicated Pickle ball courts,

two platform tennis courts, and a hitting wall.

The 24-hour Fitness Center features a workout space with a full complement of cardio, weight/resistance and stretching equipment, free weights and a recently renovated fitness studio for classes, personal training and independent use.

Chefs prepare cuisine in the club’s two restaurants, the Piper Lounge and the Glenmore Grill. Casual dining is available at the 19th Hole.

The Aquatics Center is home to the Glenmore Tornadoes Swim Team, and offers three distinct swimming areas: the Junior Olympic Pool with six competition length swim lanes, the Baby Pool for the youngest swimmers, and the Adult Pool for swimmers 21 and over. Residents enjoy a soccer field and basketball court as well. Kids take part in special programs in the summer.

Such amenities attract people from all stages of life.

Glenmore’s 800-some resident community, Ringstrom says, is comprised of “empty nesters, families, and single people—not one or the other, but all three. It’s been that way since the beginning. That’s why people who are retired love it—they don’t just want to see all retired people and it’s not just all families.

It’s diverse.

“We’ve had high speed internet for years; that’s why a lot of people work from home. And of course many of the physicians find it easy to get to and from the hospitals when they’re on call.”

“I love to come home to Glenmore,” Ringstrom says. There is a calming effect when you make that right turn.”

Luxurious, bucolic, and just minutes from energetic Charlottesville—that’s the spot of God’s green Earth called Keswick.

More than half the homebuyers come from out of town.
