The Connection

Just like last year, real estateagent Ron Kowalski is optimisticcoming out of the winter doldrums. He runs Ron Kowalski

Real Estate Group with Keller WilliamsCapital Properties, covering Lorton,Fairfax Station and Springfield.

“Expectations are again high for thespring market,” he said. That’s due in partto mortgage interest rates being attrac-tively low, just like last year. “The rateshaven’t gone up, as we all thought.”

Interest rates for a 30-year fixedmortgage, both nationally and in Virginia,weren’t quite as low in April 2014 (4.1-4.2 percent) as the year before (3.3percent), according to the online realestate database Zillow. But with theeconomy gradually recovering, agentswere feeling a surge coming on.

In 2014, “the year started off stronguntil we got up to about July and Au-gust,” said Rex Reiley, with RE/MAXAllegiance in the Mount Vernon area,“when things started to taper off a bit.”

Agents were also anticipating a raise inrates, but that didn’t happen. And now,the national and state interest rates arecurrently hovering around 3.8 percent fora 30-year fixed mortgage with a creditrating of 740 to 850 according to Zillow.

Though rates have dipped somewhatfrom a year ago, prices and availableinventory have grown.

In the past year, Fairfax County hasseen the average selling price of homesrise from $491,144 to $526,786 (a 7.3percent increase) versus the Mid AtlanticRegion average increase of 3.2 percent.Over the same period the number ofactive listings in the county increasedfrom 1,634 to 2,198 (a 34.5 percentincrease over last January). (Source:RealEstate Business Intelligence)

With the spring 2015 market preparingto bloom, agents are hopeful the low ratesand available inventory will motivatemore buyers and sellers to get off thefence and into the arena. Particularlybecause it’s unclear when rates might riseagain.

“People don’t want to wait,” said PattieMancini, whose coverage area with Avery-Hess Realtors includes Springfield. Shesaid her office has been hitting sales goalsfor the first time in over a year. “Withprices going up, and interest rates mightbe going up, this is the perfect storm.”

Mancini said she’s seeing more“millennials” coming into the market inSpringfield, and finding more housesavailable from from older individuals whohad been holding out while the marketwas worse over the last five years.

“The millennials are getting older,” shesaid, “seeing it’s not such a bad idea, andseeing more value in a mortgage thanrent.”

Pat Richter with Residential PreferredProperties in Burke could use more sellersputting up their property. With morepeople gaining confidence in their eco-nomic stability, she said there are morebuyers looking to “move up” in her area.

“For years, we haven’t had much of amove up market,” Richter said. “Now,people are starting to say thistownhouse is too small, this singlefamily home is too small, and want abigger one.”

With the move up market and morebuyers looking to move into Burke, “It’s agood time to be a buyer,” she said. “Butthat doesn’t mean prices have escalated

tremendously. It’s interesting becauseassessments all went up. Now startingApril 1, we’ll see prices go up a little,

“The builder, McShay Communities from Springfield,is building four homes on spec since he’s optimisticabout the spring market in this price range($949,900-$1.3M),” said Ron Kowalski, of the newMcDonald Estates development in Lorton. “We evenpainted, decorated and staged the model home (pic-tured, available for $1.25M), which is rare for aseven-home development.” One active listing is 9324Dachshund Drive, listed at $949,900.

diately — was how to develop a site planthat would satisfy the county, but also giveus a sustainable result that allows the aes-thetic effects we were seeking.”

Part of the assignment would also entaila plan for preserving mature trees on theproperty’s eastern side.

THE GARAGE, which would houseDobson’s collectible motorized vehicles,needed a footprint of some 400 square feet,the contractor determined; the sunroom,one level up, would be plenty spacious atslightly over 200 square feet. Hence, Foster’s“stacked” pyramidal design not only satis-fies family “use” requirements, but also al-lows the “growing room” needed for anentire grove of mature trees bordering theproperty’s perimeter.

The plan was, of course, partly predicatedon lowering the lot’s existing grade somefive feet, enough to carve out a foundationfor the garage and create driveway access.

The foundation also figures prominentlyin an innovative engineering solution thatgives the couple the amount of glass theyhad been seeking in the sunroom.

To meet the county’s wind-bracing re-quirements, Foster and team designed anarrow-gauge, all-steel framework for thesunroom’s many large glass panels whichis anchored all the way down to the con-crete foundation itself.

Though not visible to the naked eye, theinfrastructrure allowed designers to extendwindows to within a few feet of the floorand mere inches from the corner of theroom.

“Our dogs can even look out the win-dows,” Joan Davanzo said. “The designgives us a really a stunning view in all di-rections.”

But, surely, a nearly all-glass room mustbe quite cold in the winter?

“All the windows are Low-E Argon-filleddouble pane — state of the art thermal re-sistance,” Foster said.

To reinforce the comforting insularity,however, the contractor applied thermally-resistant spray foam behind the wall sur-

Al Dobson and his new spacious garage to house his sport car, motor-cycles and ’60s rock memorabilia.

By John Byrd

On the face of it, adding a two-level structure to a 30-year-old brick house is not especially difficult. Essentially,

Vienna homeowners Al Dobson and his wifeJoan Davanzo each have a pet project — aspacious first level garage to house sportcars, motorcycles and ’60s rock for him; alovely sunroom comprised of floor-to-ceil-ing window walls for her.

Knock out the existing screen porch;slightly expand the footprint for the garage;sun room goes on top embracing the reardeck and pool; and, Bingo, it’s done.

Yet as anyone who has lived in the FairfaxCounty for a while knows, no project iswithout complications, and add to this theproblems of an unlevel grade, set-back re-strictions, strict rules on structures with lotsof glass and the owner’s desire to preserveall the surrounding trees, and suddenlythere are the makings of an intricate engi-neering challenge — the sort of brain-bustermost contractors wouldn’t attempt to un-ravel.

That’s how it all started with this decep-tively understated Vienna addition: severalcontractors told Dobson and Davanzo theycouldn’t have the amount of glass in thesunroom they were looking for; county rulesregarding glass and where it can be posi-tioned are rigorously enforced; and then,too, the glass must to be “braced” to resistwinds that otherwise might cause it to im-plode — a requirement which inevitablyreduces sightlines.

“County rules on glass in new construc-tion have been in place for over a decade,”said David Foster, president of Foster Re-modeling Solutions, the contractor thecouple hired to execute the project. “Be-cause of some tricky complications, a lot ofcontractors stay out of the sunroom arena— so it’s become somewhat specialized.”

What several contractors plainly told JoanDavanzo, nevertheless, was that her dreamproject — as she envisionsed it — simplycouldn’t be built.

“We were told the windows couldn’t beas low to the floor, nor as close to the cor-ner as we wanted,” Davanzo said. “Since Ihad particularly liked the openness of theold screen porch the sunroom was to re-place, this was discouraging.”

By contrast, Davanzo said, Foster beganaddressing the project’s technical hurdlesfrom the first meeting.

“His experience was palpable,” said AlDobson, 70, who has had several previousencounters with remodelers. “The first con-sideration — which he pointed out imme-

faces — and drilled holes in the steel col-umns to accommodate an added infusion.

“It’s all about creating a tight structure,”Foster said. “That’s what keeps outside tem-peratures out.”

On the other hand, the sunroom featureDavanzo most appreciates this time of yearis how fluidly it opens to spring’s balmybreezes. All the windows are casement-stylewhich can be independently adjusted to letin cross breezes. Overhead, two skylightsopen electronically — and individually. Theskylights are also equipped with electricblinds and rain sensors.

The room’s interior design scheme, whichDavanzo developed in conjunction withFoster, reflects a number of favored ownerlifestyle preferences. The golden duotoneteakwood floor — comprised of a framedrectangular perimeter traversed with diago-nal slats — is a pattern the couple cameupon in their travels in Italy. The tongue-and-groove ceiling and warm sea-foamgreen wall color, likewise, were chosen to

highlight a verdant visual continuum thatrecalls childhood adventures in the coun-try.

The new sunroom is accessible throughan adjacent family room separated by threeFrench doors which Davanzo mostly leavesopen.

“This is where I spend most of my timewhen I’m at home,” she said.

For Al Dobson, the favored hang-out nowis his “man cave” garage which houses aCorvette, his Italian motorcycle and a soundsystem that plays choice sounds of the ’50sand ’60s.

A racing enthusiast who participates intime trials at Summit Point, Dobson wanteda room that speaks to his passion for motorsports. Underfoot, PVC tiles in an iconiccheckerboard pattern set the tone for a pri-vate retreat decorated with ’60s movie post-ers and other period memorabilia.

“It’s a really peaceful spot to just relax,”Dobson said. “That’s what this process wasalways for, so I’m glad we pursued it.”

Addition pulls together stylesand overcomes challenges.

pricing for the spring and summer market.”Fairfax County mailed its 2015 real estate

assessment notices Feb. 17: 74 percent of residen-tial properties saw an increase.

“Assessments matter because the tax burden isincreasing on homeowners in many jurisdictions,particularly Fairfax,” said David Versel, seniorresearcher with the George Mason UniversityCenter for Regional Analysis.

Another burden on homeowners who may bewaiting to enter the market is lingering insecurityover the effects of government Sequestration.

“I gear it to federal government spending,” saidGeorge Mason professor of finance GeraldHanweck. “When is that going to bottom out?When it does and they begin to spend again, thenwe’ll see a pickup.”

Rex Reiley is looking for that to happen soon,hoping that Congress signs off on a new budgetand that it eliminates or reduces Sequester cut-backs. “If that happens, think we’ll see a big boom,with everyone confident in their employmentagain.”

Longer term, Hanweck is encouraged by an“upsurge in technology entrepreneurship” inNorthern Virginia, as well as the development ofthe Inova research campus in Merrifield forattracting pharmaceuticals and biotech. But thatimpact on the real estate market could take yearsto notice, he said.

In the short term, he expects house prices inFairfax County to fall slightly, forecasting a 2

percent drop in the median over the next fewmonths in existing and new homes, a great oppor-tunity for first-time buyers who qualify for low-interest loans.

“Agents have a right to be optimistic,” saidHanweck. “At same time, they’ll have to work realhard to make the optimism pay off, selling about97-98 percent of the listing price. That’s going tocertainly drop, it’s just a matter of pricing.”

In Lorton, Ron Kowalski has observed steadysales overall in the last month, about one per dayfor the 22079 zip code as a whole. The “move up”segment of houses priced $500,000 to $800,000has lagged behind the “low end” (under $500,000)and upper tier ($1 million and above).

He’s confident that increasing inventory coupledwith the interest rates and “lenders looseningstandards a little” will continue to help withaffordability and drive sales into the spring,especially with first-time buyers.

But, he said more of his clients are researchingproperties on the internet before they meet withhim. And that’s having a mixed effect on whetherthey decide to make a move or not.

“They’re getting a lot of information,” he said,“but so much is filtered through what they wantto look at. There are both sides to the story.People focus on the one that sold super high orlow. My issue is a lot of the information is self-directed.”

Kowalski doesn’t mind buyers or sellers cominginto the market loaded with their own data; he’sjust happy they’re there.
