When retiree Sha-ron Baiocco and j u s t - g e t t i n g -started Amber Ward moved to Charlottesville,

the University of Virginia was a fac-tor in both their choices. Baiocco, a former dean at a university in anoth-er state, and her sports-loving high-school-teacher husband, John, knew they wanted to be on the East Coast near their children in Richmond and New Jersey. “We could have lived any-where,” Baiocco says, “but we pre-ferred a place that was open to all faiths, cultures and political views. We looked at Charlottesville and just knew right away it was where we wanted to be.”

As an example of diversity, she cites their development of Fontana. “On our little street—only 13 homes—there are young families and retirees, Eastern Europeans, Chinese Ameri-cans, African Americans, Christians, Jews and even Unitarians like me. We

are so proud of our Unitarian mem-ber, [Satyendra] Huja, a Sikh from Pakistan, who has become Charlot-tesville’s mayor. It shows there are di-verse faith communities in this area where you can practice your faith without fear.”

Another consideration for the Baioccos was that the market for homes would not drop dramatically. “With UVa as the largest local em-ployer,” she points out, “stability and growth are almost guaranteed. That is very important because our home is our biggest investment.”

Ward’s story is a little different since she was nearing the end of an internship in another state to com-plete her education, but she was also

seeking a place to settle permanently. “I spent about three months using the Internet to analyze demograph-ics and other data,” she explains. Raised in Los Angeles, she wanted to be near the big city of Washington, but live a small “slowed-down” city. “I also wanted a place committed to sustainability because that’s an in-vestment for our future.”

Was UVa a factor in her decision? “Absolutely! I knew the university would contribute to ‘young’ ideas like buy local and be green—by seek-ing new approaches to these issues.” She considered Blacksburg, Roanoke, Richmond and Harrisonburg before settling on Charlottesville.

Charlottesville Tops ListsLast year, Charlottesville landed

on many of those ubiquitous “top” lists including (but definitely not lim-ited to): #1 City to Live in the Coun-try by Sperling’s Best Places (www.bestplaces.net), #1 City to Retire by Kiplinger.com and “Locavore” Capi-tal of the World by Forbes. Often, an important criterion for being a “top” is having a great institution of higher learning and the area certainly has that in the University of Virginia.

“The Charlottesville region is fre-quently recognized as one of the best places to live in the country,” declares Teresa Sullivan, President of the Uni-versity of Virginia (UVa). She cites many elements including natural beauty, historic sites, a vibrant cultur-al scene and a strong economy. “The University of Virginia is thoroughly engaged in every aspect of commu-nity life,” she continues. “This strong relationship with the Charlottesville region creates a stronger community overall.”

The prestigious U.S. News & World Report ranking of colleges rates UVa as the second best public university and 25th best overall in the entire nation. It also boasts the country’s highest graduation rate for African-American students.

UVa employees live in the city and in the surrounding counties where they are involved in civic, school and volunteer organizations and support local businesses. Sullivan point out, “For those of us who work at UVa, the Charlottesville region is not just our workplace, it’s our home, so we want to help build a strong, prosper-ous region.”

Major Impact On The Local Economy

With 12,000 employees, UVa is the area’s largest employer, which contributes to keeping employment stable in the community. Its payroll of $1.3 billion in the academic year 2011-2012, plus expenditures for ser-vices, supplies and maintenance, di-rectly impact the community. In fact, direct spending in the Charlottesville

region by people and programs asso-ciated with the university amounts to more than $1 billion annually.

In addition, UVa students support community businesses from land-lords to grocers to the tune of more than $210 million every year.

UVa’s local real estate taxes amount to nearly $1.9 million each year and UVa pays the city of Charlottesville more than $200,000 annually to subsidize local bus and trolley service. UVa also supports local emergency services including

more than a half million dollars to support 9-1-1 services, $250,000 to the City of Charlottesville for fire services and $750,000 for the new fire station on Fontaine Avenue. The Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad receives more than $40,000 annually and UVa employees and stu-dents contribute about 25,000 vol-unteer hours of service to the squad each year.

Construction and renovation are also substantial economic contribu-tors. In 2011 more than $290 million

wn

With 12,000employees,UVa is the area’s larg-est employer, which contrib-utes to keepingemploymentstable in the community.

rewas spent, divided almost equally between materials and labor and in 2012 an estimated $200 million will be spent. The majority of materi-als are purchased within 50 miles of Charlottesville.

U.S. News & World Report re-cently ranked the UVa Medical Cen-ter in the top 50 nationally for five adult specialties and high-perform-ing in six other adult specialties. The School of Nursing was ranked in the top two percent nationally. This means Charlottesville shines because high-quality medical care often leads the list of desirable attributes in a community. In fact, recommenda-tions for ideal retirement locales of-ten specify a teaching hospital.

Patients can access their medical records and communicate with their personal healthcare provider on-line. Same-day appointments are often available. Searchable on-line medical files include information of topics ranging from clinical trials open to the public, healthy lifestyles, treat-ments for many medical problems and much more. Club Red, aimed at improving heart health in women, of-fers information, local healthy-eating discounts, and a monthly newsletter.

In the last fiscal year, the Health-care System treated well over 750,000 individuals. At the same time, it pro-vided close to $100 million of free care through financial aid and Med-icaid. For more information about health care, visit www.healthsystem.virginia.edu.

Charitable ActivitiesUVa employees and students are

generous with both dollars and time. For example, close to 7,000 hours are donated to the Charlottesville Free Clinic with a value of about $7.5 million. Each September during the National Day of Caring, about 1,000 volunteers pitch in on close to 100 projects ranging from painting schools to visiting with the elderly.

University students participate in community service in many ways, including operating fundraisers to support disease prevention, perfor-mances that promote awareness of different cultures, weekly carpentry efforts to renovate area homes, and volunteering in settings ranging from area rescue squads to day care centers and animal shelters.

In a typical year, students provided well over 5,000 hours of tutoring and scholastic assistance to area youth at more than 20 community locations while the Young Women Leadership Program arranges for UVa students to mentor more than 100 eighth- and ninth-grade girls addressing is-

sues related to self-esteem, scholastic achievement and decision-making.

The largest student-volunteer ef-fort is Madison House, a student volunteer center, which recruits, trains and mentors over 3,300 stu-dent volunteers each year. These stu-dents contribute more than 10,000 hours of community service to the Charlottesville-Albemarle area, part-nering with almost 100 community non-profits organizations, where volunteers directly impact more than 15,000 residents.

Finally, at the end of the academic year, UVa students donate house-hold goods and furniture to support Charlottesville nonprofit organiza-tions that serve low-income residents through Chuck It For Charity and the Sofa Shuffle.

Community OutreachEvery year UVa serves over one

million people through more than 500 public service and outreach pro-grams. Through OutreachVirginia, local residents can find interesting programs in music and drama, op-portunities to volunteer at UVa, and the chance to learn how the univer-sity and the community are engaged.

“Residents in the area enjoy the UVa museums and its multitude of events year round,” says Broker Sara Greenfield, owner of Charlottesville Fine Homes and Properties. “For just one example, every year since 1968, the UVa music department has presented a Messiah Sing-a-long in early Decem-ber. This is a time when townspeople mingle with University singers and Old Cabell Hall reverberates with laughter and singing. Anyone can take part in either the orchestra or the singing and I wouldn’t miss it for anything.”

Other musical treats include the Charlottesville & University Symphony

Orchestra comprised of music faculty members, talented students and com-munity musicians. The Orchestra pres-ents concerts, has a special program to introduce community youth to orches-tral instruments and performs a free Symphony Under the Stars.

In addition, there are a number of other musical groups from chamber music to jazz to singing ensembles offering concerts. Free Lunchbox Recitals are presented throughout the academic year and a Music De-partment Colloquium is free to the public and convenes on select Friday afternoons.

UVa’s Office of Diversity and Eq-uity has numerous outreach efforts, including the Charlottesville Com-munity Health Fair. During the Af-rican-American Cultural Arts Festi-

val in July, UVa provides free sports physicals and free health screenings, including mammograms. The Medi-cal Equipment Recovery of Clean Inventory program collects clean, unused medical supplies and distrib-utes them to both local and interna-tional nonprofits.

Another popular outreach is the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. Designed for senior citizens, this program is for people who seek intel-lectual stimulation. Formed in asso-ciation with UVa, it was inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s own deeply held view of education as a lifelong enter-prise to invigorate the mind. Volun-teer course instructors are specialists in their fields—many are professors from UVa and other universities across the United States.

Other outreach programs embrace persons with disabilities, elementary and secondary school teachers, men, women, minority groups, children, families and senior citizens.

For more information on the many programs, visit www.Outreach-Virginia.org.

With no professional sports teams nearby, local residents substitute a passion for the orange and blue. Although the Cavaliers lost their re-cent New Year’s Eve bowl game, the community always enjoys rooting for teams which are often nationally ranked in sports from football as well as men’s and women’s basketball, la-crosse, golf, soccer, tennis swimming and diving. Additional teams include men’s baseball, women’s softball and other sports.

A Great Place To BeNow that Ward, the young Regis-

tered Dietician, has found employ-ment as a Nutritionist with the area’s Head Start program, a “great apart-

ment with great neighbors,” and adopted a rescue dog named Oscar, she is delighted with her decision to settle here in what she enthusiasti-cally terms “a great city.” She loves the rural surroundings, the music, the City Market and the personality of Charlottesville, including UVa.

“The university and community uti-lize each other very well,” she observes. “There is a beautiful partnership with their priorities in parallel, which isn’t true in every college town.”

And retiree Baiocco, now a Charlottesville resident for some five years and an activist against mountain-top removal, says she and her husband love the fact that the area is amidst beautiful scenery and has a wonder-ful small-town feel. “Southern society can be closed, but there is a significant population from other places and you run into friends wherever you go.”

Marilyn Pribus and her husband relocated to Charlottesville from California more than four years ago. “We love it here,” she says.

In today’s challenging real estate market, sellers may be forced to relocate before their home is sold and leave an empty house behind. Not only is this a financial burden, but empty homes are more difficult to sell and while finding a tenant

is an option, this solution may cause problems if the renter does not take good care of the property. Similarly, there are buyers who are unable to purchase a home today, but who are good candidates in the long run. A solution for both of these parties may be a lease purchase arrange-ment in which the sellers lease their property to a buyer who is willing to purchase it within a mutually agreed upon time frame.

While there are many variations, most contracts specify that a percent-age of the monthly lease goes towards the buyer’s down payment. Often, as well, sellers require the purchasers to put down a cash deposit, some or all of which may be non-refundable if they choose not to buy the prop-erty when the lease is up. Regardless, whether you are a buyer or a seller, your REALTOR® can help you take advantage of the benefits inherent in this kind of agreement.

From a seller’s perspective, a lease purchase offers a number of ben-efits, the most obvious being that it

provides cash flow for a home which otherwise would remain empty. In addition, the purchaser is some-one with a genuine interest in and commitment to the home who is therefore motivated to take good care of it in the interim. The agree-ment protects the seller by locking

in a favorable price, and since in most cases a portion of the rent is credited towards the down payment, the monthly income is often greater than what it would have been in a conventional rental agreement.

On the down side for sellers, a lease purchase is not a definite sale, and the buyers may choose not to buy the home at the end of the agreed upon lease term. There may be several rea-sons, not the least of which is that they may just change their minds. Ev-ery home has its eccentricities. After someone lives there for awhile they become very familiar with these and may decide the home doesn’t suit them or they don’t like the neigh-bors or it is too far from work. Alter-natively, they may just wander into a Sunday open house and find a house they like better.

The buyer may also fail to qualify for a mortgage. Buyers who enter into lease purchase agreements may be strong candidates waiting for a previ-

ous home to sell, or perhaps they are young professionals with good credit but little cash. On the other hand they may seek this kind of agreement because their credit is weak and, though well-intended, may underes-timate their ability to either improve it before the agreement expires or to save sufficient funds to actually make the purchase. To protect themselves, sellers can request a letter from the buyers’ mortgage company support-ing their ability to obtain a mortgage when the time comes. To decrease the risk of a buyer pulling out of the deal for trivial reasons, sellers can require a deposit and stipulate that some or all of the money is non-refundable.

From the buyer’s perspective, a lease purchase makes it possible for someone who is unable to obtain a mortgage to find a home they like and start settling in. While lack of funds may be the reason they can’t buy now, another possibility is that they have minor credit glitches and are willing to repair them, but need time to do so. Many lenders will work with good candidates and help them straighten out their affairs so they can qualify for a loan. For such an individual, the lease purchase agree-ment permits them to lock in a price and start building equity even before they are actually owners.

On the down side, if buyers are required to make a non-refundable deposit, they run the risk of losing those funds should they be unable to exercise the purchase option at the end of the lease. Similarly, they lose any money they pay monthly that is above and beyond what would have been required had they entered into a conventional rental agreement. Fi-nally, buyers should be aware that some sellers intentionally structure agreements to make it easy for them to nullify the contract (and keep the deposit) should a monthly payment be late or in the event prices begin to rise and they can increase their profit by selling the home to some-one else.

2011 Market Overview - Home Sales for 2011

There were 2,300 homes soldin the Charlottesville area in 2011,which was down 1.5% (-36 sales)from 2010. Albemarle (+2.7%) andCharlottesville (+5.3%) showed an in-crease in sales for the year. All otherareas were down from last year: Flu-vanna (-15.1%), Louisa (-12.0%), Nel-son (-6.1%), and Green (-3.3%).

Sales of detached homes in thearea were down 1.4% from 2010 to1,733. This is 3.8% higher than the1,669 detached homes sold in 2009.There were 567 attached homes (con-dos and townhomes) sold in 2011,1.4% lower than 2010 and 13.0% offthe 5-year average levels.

Foreclosed property sales were up10.4% to 328 compared to 297 sales

in 2010. Foreclosures represented a14.3% share of all sales in 2011, upfrom a 12.7% share last year. Shortsales nearly doubled year-over-year,from 76 sales in 2010 to 112 in 2011.Fortunately in the interest of pricingstabilization, short sale transactionsonly represented 3.3% of the marketwhile traditional sales, or those trans-actions not involving a foreclosure orshort sale, accounted for 80.9% ofMLS sales.

Days on Market (DOM)The length of time a property

is on the market before sale is verymuch affected by the amount of sup-ply compared to demand, and realestate professionals understand thecritical role pricing plays. While themarket has varied throughout the

past several years, the average days onmarket (DOM) prior to sale has re-mained relatively stable the past twoyears, increasing only one day fromthe 2010 average to 148 days. Half ofthe homes sold in 2011 were on themarket for 86 days or less, up slightlyfrom the 82 median DOM of 2010.Attached homes sold an average 10days faster than detached homes,with a DOM of 140 in 2011.

Home PricesHome prices declined somewhat

in 2011, with the amount of thedecline varying from significant tonominal depending upon the coun-ty. The median prices listed below are

the middle of the market of proper-ties that sold, indicating what buy-ers were willing/able to pay. Overall,the $245,000 median home price(including attached homes) repre-sented a 3.9% decrease compared tolast year. The areas with higher salesvolume like Fluvanna (-2.5%), Albe-marle (-4.0%), and Charlottesville (-6.1%) saw more moderate decreases,while the remaining counties experi-enced slightly higher pricing drops:Greene (-8.6%), Nelson (-13.5%), andLouisa (-15.6%).

The median price for detachedhomes in Greater Charlottesville fell3.6% from 2010 to $270,000 whilethe median price for attached homeswas down 10.1 % year-over-year to$191,000. Foreclosed listings hada median price of $130,000, or halfthe $265,000 median for traditionalproperty sales. The traditional salemedian price was down only 2.8%from 2010 and actually represents anincrease of 1.2% from the 2009 level.The $211,000 median price for shortsales represents a 9.0% year-over-yearincrease.

Lower Inventory of Homes for Sale

At year end, inventory is down tothe lowest level since year-end 2006and 7.0% down from the year-end2010 level, signaling what could be apositive trend for the Charlottesvillemarket. While the 4,802 new listingsadded throughout 2011 (irrespectiveof where they ended up in the trans-action process) represents a 12.9%decrease from the 5,512 new listingsadded in 2010, we remain a buyer’smarket. The 2,020 active units toclose the year represent 11.6 monthsof supply if the 2011 absorption ratecontinues into 2012.

The 433 active attached propertiesfor sale represent a decrease of 2.0%from year-end 2010 while the 1,586detached properties for sale are 7.6%lower than last year’s level. The 74foreclosed properties for sale to begin2012 are 31.5% lower than last year,while the 1,874 traditional listings onthe market are only 4.7% lower thanyear-end 2010.

Sold Price Per Square Foot (Finished) – Affordability and Bargains Remain

The area average of $140 per fin-ished square foot is the lowest num-ber since 2004, indicating true “pock-ets of value” for buyers. Prices are

down $6 per square foot on averagefrom last year and $42 since peakingfor buyers in 2006.

The most affordable marketsare outlying localities of Fluvanna($108) and Louisa ($100). The rela-tive stability in price per finishedsquare foot in Charlottesville ($167),Albemarle ($145), and Greene ($118)supports the strength and stability ofthese markets.

There is remarkably little variancebetween the price per square foot forattached homes ($141) vs. detachedhomes ($139). During the peak year2006, detached homes averaged $15more than attached homes, $192and $177 respectively. Housing af-fordability is a positive aspect of thismarket. 596 homes, or 30% of the
