Date Changed For Fluvanna Penguin Plunge Freezin’ For A Reason

Real Estate Related News Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® Join the Virginia Association of REALTORS® in Richmond to Meet Legislators More than 500 Virginia Association of REALTORS® (VAR) members, including 30 plus members from the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR), participated in a Day on the Hill gathering at the Capitol Square in Richmond on February 11, 2015. The main priority for coming together was to speak with respective Virginia General Assembly representatives on nine pieces of relevant legislation introduced by VAR. These proposals covered a wide range of issues that could impact Virginia’s 30,000 REALTORS® and the rights of property owners in the state.

“VAR has crafted some very significant legislation – ranging from educating buyers early on in the sale process in order to understand the need for flood insurance certification to asking for stiffer penalties for violent crimes that target REALTORS® and others who may be vulnerable. The bills we drafted represent the best interests of all property owners, not solely REALTORS®,” said Deborah Baisden, President of the Virginia Association of REALTORS®.

Over 30 CAAR members united on the steps of the State Capitol in Richmond on February 11, 2015.

Weather conditions have created safety concerns for the First Annual Fluvanna Penguin Plunge. Due to the upcoming bitter cold creating ice issues on Lake Monticello, as well as the predicted Saturday storm, the Fluvanna Penguin Plunge organizers are moving the Plunge to its weather date of February 28, 2015. Registration will still take place at noon, with Plunging at 1:00 p.m.

“It was essential that CAAR participate in this very important gathering at the State Capitol. These face-to-face meetings build rapport between legislators and the REALTOR® community, and help strengthen homeownership and property rights for the residents of Charlottesville and surrounding counties,” said Anita Dunbar, President of the Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS®.

To review the complete list of proposed VAR legislation, visit www.varealtor.com.

The date change will also allow Plungers more time to get their registration forms in! Come join over 50 Plungers for this fun, unique event!

For just a minimum of $50 in donations, participants can take the Plunge. A minimum of $75 in donations gets participants a Fluvanna Penguin Plunge t-shirt as well. There are two types of participants: PENGUINS, who actually go into the lake, and CHICKENS, who want to support the cause but stay firmly on the beach.

Proceeds from the Penguin Plunge will benefit Fluvanna Habitat for Humanity, Fluvanna SPCA, Fluvanna

Get Ready for Charlottesville’s

SPRING REAL ESTATE MARKET

BY CELESTE M. SMUCKER PHD

T

raditionally spring is the time of year when many people put their homes on the market, and buyers come out to see what is available.

There are many reasons for this. The holidays are over, the air is warmer and landscapes are alive with blooming plants and trees. Children are still in school in the spring so families are at home, unlike the summer months when many people are on vacation.

Spring is also a great time for outdoor projects like repairing and staining decks or cleaning out the garage, all necessary tasks for getting a house ready to sell. With the warmer weather gardeners are out putting down fresh mulch, trimming hedges, putting in bedding plants and making their yard look its best.

Not only does spring present a pleasant opportunity to be out and around, it is also a good time for families to find their next home. A spring purchase means a June or July closing, and that gives them plenty of time to get settled into their new home before school starts.

If you are planning to buy or sell a home this spring, now is the time to get started. Sellers should spruce up their homes, while buyers should talk to a lender about qualifying for a loan and determine the type of home and neighborhood that best suits their needs and their budget. Both parties should call their REALTOR® to advise them on how to best take advantage of this special time of year.

CAAR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.CAAR.COM

Why Spring is a Good Time for Real Estate “It’s the most beautiful time of year,” said Bob Headrick with Nest Realty, “and historically it is the time when most people are in the market.

It’s also the time when property looks its best.” Of course with more homes on the market during the spring, buyers have many more options to choose from.

The school year is another factor that drives the real estate market.

Headrick explained that families with children like to be out looking in the spring so they can close and get into their new home before the school year starts. Moving in the summer also gives their children time to make friends prior to the first day of school.

“First time buyers and empty nesters are less spring market driven,” Headrick continued. However he explained that they may still choose to look during this time of year because

All the agents agree it is critical to prepare your house to look its best before putting it on the market.

Headrick advises sellers to start getting ready as early as possible. “If someone has been living in the same house for thirty five years, they may need to start a year in advance of listing it, and no later than the previous fall.” He explained that sellers need to be prepared to clear out, put excess stuff in storage, paint and repair. He also recommends a pre-inspection to uncover any repairs that the seller may not be aware of. The buyer will get their own inspection of course, but a pre-inspection allows the seller to take care of any outstanding issues when they don’t have the pressure of completing the project prior to an upcoming closing.

When the house is cleaned up and staged, it is common for agents to have

There are some other factors which are driving sales this spring. Interest rates are still very low, and while prices haven’t gone up fears that they are about to do so may bring out more buyers. “Buyers are recognizing it is a good time to make a purchase,” Telefus said. She is anticipating multiple offers as the market heats up.

a professional take photos. In addition, depending on the price of the house, they may also utilize professionally done floor plans, Headrick explained.

“Many of our buyers don’t live locally and they can’t drive by the house.” For that reason good photos and detailed information about the layout and dimensions of rooms are critical.

Guthrie described spring as a time when there is a lot more competition from other sellers, part of the reason it is important to get your house looking its very best. However, another source of competition is new homes. “Builders are feeling confident and there are new homes being built, and many new communities,” he said. While some buyers are willing to wait for the advantages of being a home’s first owner, others don’t have the 4 to 6 months it takes for new construction. Guthrie advises that sellers who want to appeal to these buyers need to have their home in the best possible shape.

Some sellers aren’t inclined to make required repairs, even something obvious like a broken seal on thermal-pane windows that makes them very cloudy, Guthrie explained. However, invariably buyers will have an inflated view of what it will cost them to do the work.

This could mean they don’t make an offer at all or will make a low offer based on their evaluation of repair costs.

“Your house needs to show perfectly,” Telefus said stressing the importance of spending the time and money it takes to get it that way. She also emphasized the importance of curb appeal, which means well maintained landscaping and exterior maintenance as well as the importance of “preparing every showing.”

The good news is, in most cases “homes that are nicely staged and appropriately priced sell quickly,” Headrick said.

Buyer Preparation Serious buyers also need to prepare for their role in the spring market.

An important first step is to talk to a lender and determine if they qualify for a loan and if so how much house they can afford. The lender will then generate a letter stating what they qualify for. Headrick explained that when the buyers decide to make an offer on a house, some lenders will create a specific letter for that address. Either way, the agent can use the letter as part of the negotiation, offering assurance to the seller and their agent that the buyer is a solid prospect.

Buyers also need to do homework on the area as a whole, on specific communities and on the type of house that will suit them best. If privacy is highly valued, for example, they may want to find a home in the country surround-

Unless it is urgent to move sooner, most people will wait until spring to sell their home or look for their next one. Of course enjoying the flowers and dogwoods that bloom in the spring makes house hunting that much more pleasant. ed by a few acres. If they want to walk downtown, they need to check out close in communities like Belmont or The Woods at Burnet Commons.

Buyers coming from out of town need to adjust their expectations to our local situation. Headrick explained

that part of his job when working with these buyers is to educate them on our region and the benefit of all the different areas within it so they can focus on what will best suit them. He added that the out-of-towners are often surprised when they discover that there are only 3 or 4 homes to look at rather than a long list of 10 or more which is more typical in a large city. If he is working with families that have children he also refers them to resources for researching the local schools.

“Buyers also need to find the right agent,” Telefus said, which means in part finding someone they trust.

She described the current market as one which is “strong and fast” which means if buyers are indecisive they can lose out. Therefore it is important to work with an agent they trust enough so that they move forward on an offer quickly when their REALTOR® advises them to do so.

Whether you are a buyer or a seller spring is a great time to be in the real estate market. Not only is it beautiful and a wonderful time to be out, but buyers have many more options to choose from and sellers can look forward to many more showings if their house is priced appropriately and n looks its best.

6 WAYS

TO TRIM YOUR MONTHLY

Household Expenses

A

s a homeowner, one of your challenges is figuring out ways to reduce your regular monthly bills.

These continuous expenses can leave a big hole in your monthly budget, essentially leaving you with less money to invest for the future, and even less money to spend on more leisure pleasures. When you find yourself short on cash, in fact, before it gets to this point, here are six ways you can cut your monthly household expenses, and get your financial budget back under control.

Install Compact Fluorescent Lights (CFLs) Compact Fluorescent Lights provide longer lifespan and considerably less electrical usage. Although CFLs are significantly more expensive than oldstyle incandescent light bulbs, sticking with old bulbs costs consumers far more money over the long run. In an interview with Noah Horowitz, an environmental engineer and director of the center for energy efficiency at the Natural Resources Defense Council, he stated that because CFLs use far less electricity and last longer, when someone switches they can expect to save anywhere from $30 to $50 on their electric bill. In fact, you should use the lumens numbers to compare bulbs and not the equivalent wattages. Lumens indicate the amount of light given off by the bulb.

Install a Programmable Thermostat Programmable thermostats allow you the option of presetting the heat or air-conditioning just before you get home rather than paying to keep an empty dwelling comfortable when no one’s occupying the premises. According to the Department of Energy, lowering your thermostat by 10 to 15 degrees

BY JANET THOMSON

Fahrenheit for eight hours during the day in winter can save 5 percent to 15 percent on your heating bill. During the summer months, you can follow the exact same strategy by lowering the thermostat setting to 78 degrees Fahrenheit only when you are home.

Unplug Unused Electrical Devices Pulling the plug on unused items such as cell phone chargers, the television in the guest bedroom, or any other electrical devices can help conserve energy. According to energy.gov, the average charger is consuming .26 watts of energy when not in use and 2.24 watts when a fully charged device is connected to it. In addition, your cable box consumes an average of 17.83 watts, even when it’s powered off. Essentially, what this means is that even if you left your cable box plugged in for one year and never turned it off, it would still add $17.83 to your electrical bill. Furthermore, if your cable box comes with DVR capabilities, your total doubles to $43.46. It’s time to unplug those “energy vampire” electronics.

Install a Blanket for Your Hot Water Heater Homeowners can expect to pay an average of $400 and $600 a year in water heating costs, according to aspenpikin.com. Because the hot water heater is a major energy drain—mainly because the water is kept hotter than most people ever use—insulating a water heater is one way a homeowner can help cut this cost. Aspenpitkin. com says that installing an insulation blanket on a water heater tank is inexpensive and relatively easy. You can purchase pre-cut jackets or blankets available from around $10 to $20. They also suggest that you purchase one with an insulating value of at least R-8.

By dropping the temperature down to 125 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, in addition to installing a blanket, a home-

owner should see significant differences within a year.

Air Seal Your Home Homeowners can help prevent drafts simply by air sealing their homes. Air that leaks through your home’s envelope such as doors, windows, walls and other openings waste an excessive amount of energy and aids in increased utility bills. By simply air sealing and insulating your home, you can fix some common problems like: reduce noise from outside; less pollen, dust and insects entering your home; better humidity control, and lower chance for ice dams on the roof in snowy climates, according to energystar.gov. In fact, energystar.gov says if you were to add up all the leaks, holes and gaps in most homes’ envelope, it would be the equivalent of having a window open every day of the year.

Bundle Your Services If you have Internet, phone and cable service, it might be time to move

your accounts to one provider. You can visit www.lowermybills.com to find out which company is offering the best deals. Lowermybills.com is a free online service for consumers to compare low rates on monthly bills and reduce the cost of living. If these charges are draining your household savings, it might be time to make the switch and save.

Homeownership Shouldn’t Be a Financial Burden When you are a homeowner, you can’t escape the fact that the plumbing will eventually need repairing, your washer and dryer might need to be replaced, and at some point the car will need new tires. However, owning your home shouldn’t become a financial burden, which is why the savvy homeowner creates a monthly budget that helps avoid major financial pitfalls. n Janet Thomson is a freelance writer, copywriter and military wife residing in Charlottesville.
