CAAR Homes Sales Report Second Quarter 2022 Market Report Key Takeaways Economic Conditions • Virginia’s job market continues to recover from the pandemic-related losses.

The state added 6,600 jobs between April and May and is now about 42,200 jobs short of pre-pandemic levels. Most of the growth this month was in the Leisure and Hospitality sector.

• Despite growing economic uncertainty and rising inflation, unemployment remains very low. In May, the unemployment rate was 3% statewide and 2.7% in the Charlottesville region.

• Mortgage rates are on the rise but have dipped from a month ago. In the third week of July, the average 30-year rate was 5.54%, up from the prior week, but down from the end of June when it was 5.7%.

REAL ESTATE NEWS

Housing Market Conditions • There were 1,380 homes sold in the CAAR area in the second quarter. This is an 11% drop from the second quarter a year ago, which is 165 fewer sales. The market has been cooling in the CAAR region for four consecutive quarters.

• Prices continue to surge in the CAAR footprint even as sales activity is slowing. The median sales price regionwide was $417,850 in the second quarter, jumping up 11% from a year ago, a gain of $41,850.

• Supply increased significantly in the CAAR housing market this quarter.

There were 741 active listings across the footprint, 163 more listings than last year, a 28% increase.

footprint in Q2-2022, which is up from a year ago

Economic Overview There continues to be a lot of economic uncertainty as inflation lingers at a 40-year high and supply chain issues persist. Mortgage interest rates are climbing, and purchasing power is down, leaving many buyers on the sidelines.

Despite these headwinds, Virginia’s job base continues to grow, and unemployment remains very low.

Jobs In May 2022, there were 4.04 million jobs across Virginia, a gain of 6,600 jobs between April and May. Virginia’s job base has been expanding for the past two years and is now about 46,200 shy of pre-pandemic levels. Several job sectors have fully recovered and have actually expanded since the start of the pandemic, including the Professional and Technical Services sector, and the Federal Government sector. The homeownership rate within these two job sectors tends to be relatively high, so growth in these sectors provides fuel for the housing market in Virginia.

One of the fastest growing job sectors in recent months has been the Leisure and Hospitality sector. This sector was hit the hardest by the pandemic and is still recovering.

Unemployment The unemployment rate continues to be a bright spot in Virginia’s economy amid mounting inflation and economic uncertainty. In May, the unemployment rate in Virginia was 3% (not seasonally adjusted), which is up from 2.5% in April.

This is a typical seasonal increase in the unemployment rate. In the Charlottesville footprint, the May unemployment rate was 2.7%, which is up from 2.2% in April.

New Construction New residential construction permitting in 2022 is outpacing 2021 five months into the year. There have been a total of 742 building permits issued in the Charlottesville MSA through May of 2022, which is 34% higher than permit levels were through May of 2021. Duplex/ multifamily permits January through May of this year are up 61% compared to the same period a year ago. Permits for singlefamily homes are up 25% so far in 2022.

This is significant because the total permit activity in 2021 was the highest the region has had in 15 years. If 2022 stays on this same pace, it will be a positive signal for potential housing supply in the region.

Mortgage Rates The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage in the third week of July was

5.54%, which is up from the prior week, but down from the end of June when it was 5.7%. Upward pressure on interest rates is likely to continue as the Federal Reserve is set to increase the Federal Funds Rate at the end of July amid rising inflation. Mortgage rates have increased more than two percentage points so far this year, which has had a cooling effect on housing markets across the country, including here in Virginia.

Housing Market Overview The CAAR housing market continues to show signs of cooling. Sales activity was slower than this time last year, the fourth drop in a row. Despite fewer sales overall, prices continue to climb rapidly across the region, and homes are selling faster on average. The tight inventory is keeping upward pressure on home prices.

While the supply remains low, the region did have a large increase in active listings this quarter, a signal that the inventory is building up in some local markets.

Sales Home sales activity continued to slow down in the CAAR housing market. There were 1,380 sales across the region during the second quarter of 2022, which is 11% fewer sales than a year ago, a decline of 165 sales. This is the fourth consecutive quarter with moderating sales activity. Sales were down all three months in the second quarter (April through June) compared to the busy pace last year. Statewide sales activity moderated this quarter, down 14% from the second quarter of last year.

Sales Prices Despite the drop in sales activity, home prices continued to climb rapidly across the entire CAAR footprint. The regionwide median sales price in the second quarter was $417,850, jumping up 11% from last year, a gain of $41,850.

The median sales price in the region is now more than $122,000 higher than it was at this time five years ago. Home prices in all local markets have had significant gains over the last several years as demand surged and inventory became increasingly scarce. Statewide, the second quarter median sales price was $397,500, up 9% from last year.

Sold Volume Even though there were fewer sales transactions this quarter, surging prices brought up the total sold dollar volume compared to last year in the CAAR regional housing market. There was approximately $731.6 million of sold volume in the CAAR market during the second quarter of 2022, about $37.6 million more volume than last year, representing a 5% increase. Most of the additional sold volume this quarter was in Greene County and Louisa County.

Days on Market Homes are selling historically fast in the CAAR market. The average days on market in the second quarter in the region was just 17 days, nearly two weeks faster than this time last year (-12 days).

As the supply of homes in the region has tightened, competition in the housing market has increased even with fewer

sales overall in recent quarters. Statewide, homes sold in 18 days on average in the second quarter, down from 22 days a year ago.

Inventory The supply of homes on the market in the CAAR footprint expanded for the first time in years. There were 741 active listings throughout the CAAR region at the end of the second quarter, 163 more listings than last year, a 28% supply bump.

Most of the additional active listings this quarter were in the Albemarle County, Fluvanna County, and Louisa County markets. Although this is only the first increase in years, it does reflect a changing pattern in parts of the region; the inventory is starting to build up in several communities as sales activity is cooling, which will provide more options for buyers in the market.

Statewide, there were 19,375 active listings on the market at the end of the second quarter, which is 169 more active listings than a year ago, a 1% increase. This is the first time the statewide inventory has increased (year-over-year) in more than seven years.

There was about 1.8 months of supply at the end of the second quarter in the CAAR footprint, which is up from 1.3 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. Statewide, there was 1.6 months of supply at the end of the second quarter.

Surprising Staunton:

Cultured & Convenient, Lovely & Lively

BY KEN WILSON

PHOTO CREDIT WARREN FAUGHT

I

t’s a hop, skip, and a jump from Charlottesville, but it is no “second city.” The proudly independent city of Staunton, population 25,750 in the 2020 census, and just about smack in the middle of mountain and valley-laden Augusta County, is known for its hills, its architecture, and its vibrant arts and music scene as well as its less expensive standard of living.

Named one of the “best small towns in America” by none other than Smithsonian Magazine, Staunton begs for a visit—and beckons to sophisticated homebuyers who’ve seen a bit of the world and know a sweet spot when they find one.

Take Amtrak or take the wheel, Staunton is less than an hour from Charlottesville. “Staunton, VA,” proclaims the handsome wooden sign at the impressive brick and stone station, erected in 1886 as the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway signal house—“Altitude1395 FT.” And on arrival, you’re only steps away from a historic downtown with boutiques, galleries, specialty shops and restaurants, fine to funky. A little further along and up a hill is a high-ranked and now co-ed university, Mary Baldwin. A few miles down the road near the exit to Route 64 is an outdoor museum illustrating frontier culture in eleven spots around the world.

And in the evening, allow time for the some highly authentic and highly approachable Shakespeare at Blackfriars Playhouse.

But first, let’s go back in history. Nick-

Library and Museum.

Museum visitors may take self-guided tours through seven galleries devoted to Wilson’s early years and later presidency, as well as to period issues and events including suffrage, prohibition and World War I. Virtual and private tours are also available.

Exhibitions focus on the President’s restored 1919 Pierce-Arrow limousine, and World War I weapons and uniforms.

A state-of-the-art display recreates life in the trenches where so much of the war was endured.

Children can enjoy scavenger hunts and hands-on activities in the Kids’ Corner. The research library is open by appointment. The Victorian-style terraced gardens behind the “Manse” itself were designed by Charles Gillette and planted in the early 1930s by The Garden Club of Virginia.

The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library is open 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Monday through Saturday, and noon to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Camera Heritage Museum named the Queen City of the Valley when it was settled in 1732, it was the seat of the largest county in the world—larger than the countries of Germany and France, as a matter of fact.

Staunton was established as a town in 1761 and formally incorporated in 1801.

The Virginia Central Railroad made the town a transportation hub in 1854, and the Confederates located a supply base here during the Civil War

Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library America’s 28th president, Woodrow Wilson, was born in Staunton in 1856.

Although he lived there barely a year before his family left Virginia, the Greek Revival home where he was born, on a hill in the city’s Gospel Hill historic district (named for the religious meetings held in a blacksmith shop there in the late 1790s) now houses his Presidential

Old-fashioned shutter bugs and their digital-era descendants can explore the history of the camera right here in downtown Staunton. With over 6,500 antique cameras dating from the 19th century to modern times, the Camera Heritage Museum is “the largest camera museum open to the public in [the] USA.” Visitors who want to downsize can bring in their own old instruments, because the museum always wants to expand its collection. “We are trying to

collect each example of every modern (still) camera, pre-digital,” says David Schwarz, the museum’s curator, in a video on its website. “There were about 40,000 out there in 1995.”

Schwarz began collecting them in 1968, and some of them you have to see to believe; handheld or supported, pleated and protruding, squared off flat and brightly colored, single aperture or double (“stereo”)—pretty much any shape and hue that has been used for a camera, from the cheap Brownie starter favorites Santa would nestle under the Christmas tree, to the most expensive 35-millimeter professional devices.

Schwarz loves them all: “There is,’ he says, “no one most unusual camera.”

But there is “the actual camera from Pearl Harbor,” and you can see it in his museum.

Named a 2022 Travelers’ Choice by TripAdvisor, it’s open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

condition by the 1980s.

A $21 million restoration completed in 2005 preserved many of its original features, including chandeliers, wall sconces and marble floors. A Wurlitzer Organ dating to 1924 was restored to its original state, making it the only known Wurlitzer of that vintage still in working condition. Today the hotel offers both fine and casual dining, and hosts musical artists every Friday night.

Frontier Culture Museum The Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia is an outdoor, living-history museum that tells the story of America’s first pioneers: their new ways of life, and the traditions they carried on and created.

Walking paths and trails lead to the museum’s 11 permanent exhibits, including original and reconstructed farm buildings from West Africa, England, Ireland, Germany, and Virginia, where costumed interpreters bring history to life.

Allow three or four hours to see every-

thing by foot. Shuttle carts run continuously for people who want a lift. Golf carts can be rented for a nominal fee. The museum is open seven days a week. MidMarch through November hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. December until midMarch hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

American Shakespeare Company The most impressive building in town may be Blackfriars Playhouse. Not only is it the world’s only re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theatre, but with its gorgeous wooden interior, it is a wonderful place to see a show. American Shakespeare Company, its home troupe, concentrates on the Bard but produces 21st century work as well.

The New York Times calls its current production, Antoinette Nwandu’s Pass Over, “blazingly theatrical and thrillingly tense.” Variety calls it “surreal and morbidly funny.” Angry and emotional, this provocative and politically charged riff on Waiting for Godot and the biblical book of Exodus was a hit last year on Broadway.

Like modern day versions of Didi and Gogo, Moses and Kitch hang out on the corner—talking trash, passing the time, and hoping that maybe today will be different. As they dream of their promised land, a stranger wanders into their space and derails their plans.

Pass Over will be onstage August 11 through 28.

Stonewall Jackson Hotel Around the corner from Blackfriars is the Colonial Revival-style Hotel 24 South.

Formerly the Stonewall Jackson Hotel and erected in 1924, it was in decrepit

Lovers of the great outdoors will also enjoy Staunton’s Gypsy Hill Park, once the subject of an oil painting by celebrated folk artist Grandma Moses, who lived nearby in the 1890s.

The 214-acres park is a sportsman’s

paradise, with a football field, baseball fields, basketball courts, running tracks, soccer fields, tennis, skate park, golf course, pool, playgrounds, volleyball, and horseshoe courts, and a gymnasium.

A 1.3-mile circular roadway called Constitution Drive runs through the middle and attracts walkers, joggers, cyclists and rollerbladers, and a 2.5 acre storm water retention pond stocked with trout hosts two big annual fishing derbies (boating not permitted). Other amenities include picnic shelters with tables and grills, a garden center, a duck pond, and a dog park.

Staunton Music Festival Every August the Staunton Music Festival brings more than 90 musicians from points near and far for ten consecutive days and nights of chamber, vocal, and symphonic music.

The motto is “Rethink Classical.” The repertoire is eclectic, from cherished oldies to intriguing premieres. The performance spaces—local churches as well as Blackfriars Playhouse—are splendid. But that’s not all.

The players and the audience have formed a community over the years, with some musicians returning every year, others frequently, and all staying in local homes. Music is communication, and one thing that’s heard clearly from onstage is the pleasure the people in the room take in each other’s company.

Now in its 25th season, the Staunton Music Festival bills itself as “Virginia’s World-Class Music Festival”—because it is. This summer’s festival begins with music by George Frideric Handel and concludes with The Creation, a glorious oratorio by Josef Haydn.

Concerts in between feature great works across a span of 600 years, from the Middle Ages to newly commissioned pieces receiving their first hearing. Informal afternoon recitals and Meet the Composer programs add depth. Free noontime concerts whet the appetite for full-length evening performances.

Melissa Sheets is a REALTOR® with Keller Williams Alliance, and a 30+ years Staunton resident, first drawn to town

by Mary Baldwin University. “Staunton is quintessential,” she says. “It has great dining, it is convenient to walking trails, to the parkway—for anyone who’s an outdoor enthusiast it’s close to those things. It has a huge artist population; artists and writers seem to thrive here.”

One thing Sheets loves to do in town is walk Betsy Bell Mountain Trail—“It’s a nice simple walk and the views from the top are beautiful.” From its observation platform this 1.1. mile loop trail for walkers and bicyclers offers a magnificent view of the Shenandoah Valley. Picnickers will find a small area set aside for them.

Hardy souls can try the four and a half mile connecting trail.

So what would she say to a Staunton convert looking for a house? There are good homes throughout the city, Sheets says, and many of the most sought for are in the $250,000 to $300,000 range.

Typically these one and two-story homes have three bedrooms and two baths and sit on a one to two-acre plot. For buyers with larger pockets, Staunton has twoand three-story beauties dating from the 1930s or 40s. Comfy and attractive, they also make excellent investments.

Cultured and convenient, lovely and lively, Staunton is always worth a visit—or better still, a long stay.

SOUNDS LIKE DISCRIMINATION. What matters is how you look on paper – not how you sound over the phone.

Judging you by your race or color instead of your qualifications is discrimination.

It’s unfair, it’s painful... and it’s against the law. The best way to stop housing discrimination is to report it.
