Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® Meet with Local Officials The Charlottesville Area Association of REALTORS® (CAAR) met at the Commonwealth Reserve on Wednesday, February 25th with elected and appointed officials from the City of Charlottesville as well as the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna and Greene. The Local Leadership Luncheon, coordinated by CAAR’s Public Affairs Group, provided an informal setting to discuss each locality’s different challenges.

“These meetings provide us an opportunity to better understand our officials and what sort of short and longterm challenges they may be facing. I believe that everyone in attendance was able to share and learn how each City Hall action can intentionally, or unintentionally, impact the regional real estate market,” said CAAR President Anita Dunbar.

Greene County Supervisor Jim Frydl said, “I appreciate being invited. While our table’s discussion centered on real estate, we also touched on education, commercial activity and water supply issues; all of which are critical to Greene County’s continued economic development.”

Musi, Piotr Naskrecki, and Monica Haller and the Veterans Book Project. The Festival is curated by Kathy Ryan, Director of Photography at The New York Times Magazine and Scott Thode, independent curator.

t’s an online world these days, but here in Central Virginia we still love books.

We still love books a lot. See us read. See us hold a book festival. See us celebrate reading, literacy, and literary culture with five days of events for print and language lovers on every level and with every taste, from Dick and Jane to democracy and gender studies. Recent surveys have found that even readers raised on screens prefer the printed page when reading for pleasure. We’re glad that the rest of the world loves what we love best. Our 21st annual Virginia Festival of the Book will run March 18-22, 2015 at the University of Virginia, on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall, and at other locations in around the city.

Produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and presented by The Virginia Center for the Book, the Festival has been a spring tradition here since 1995, drawing a cumulative audience of more than 20,000 attendees in each of the last eleven years. New Festival program director Jane Kulow moved here from western Canada in 2006 and began helping to program the event that same year. Kulow and her husband had been looking for a “a small university town” to relocate to when someone suggested Charlottesville. She’d never heard of it. “I thought they meant Charlotte,” she says today. “I looked up ‘Charlottesville,’ and the very first thing that came up was the Festival of the Book, and I turned to him and said, ‘I’m in.’” For Kulow’s first Festival as director she is inviting 393 authors, from National Book Award recipients to Newberry Award medalists, who will read and discuss their work in 199 events, most of them free. History, poetry, and spirituality; politics, the environment, and food . . . the long list of Festival categories is like a table of contents for an encyclopedic page-turner.

Wednesday

This year’s Festival officially kicks off with the Opening Ceremony, noon Wednesday, March 18 at the Central Branch of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library, when the Virginia Center of the Book recognizes winners in the statewide Letters About Literature contest. Contest participants, grades 4-12, write letters to favorite authors, explaining how their books instructed and inspired them. The students’ letters are inspiring in turn, Kulow says.

“They are a lovely reminder, each year, of how captivating a book can be for

If You Have More To Spend

to $20 per square foot installed and comes in an amazing range of colors and appearances.

Whatever you choose, get the largest possible sample and check it by both daylight and artificial light. These days, the counter space is painstakingly measured with lasers for an exact fit.

Some composite materials may arrive in pieces for ease of production and transportation, but are finished in the home with no visible seams.

In the past, backsplashes were often simply painted or covered with linoleum. (Remember linoleum?) Now, “subway” tile, coming in many styles and colors, is a popular option. Faux brick, marble, and tile are other stylish choices. A good option is to install the countertops, then get a large enough backsplash sample to be sure the colors blend well.

Often as major appliances fail over the years, they are replaced with something that no longer matches. Having all the appliances blend well has a very positive impact. They don’t have to be the top of the line. A fridge, stove, dishwasher, and microwave can easily be replaced for between $2000- $3000 although it’s possible to spend a great deal more.

You can often sell used appliances to cover part of the cost. Do your research with Consumer Reports or compare online, determine your choice, then watch for sales or as-is purchases.

For example, if your fridge will be installed between walls, a scratch on the side doesn’t matter. In addition, when buying several appliances at the same time, you are in a very good position to negotiate terms that can save money on the purchase itself as well as delivery charges.

Finally, new floor coverings can tie everything together at a relatively modest cost. Again, there are many materials to withstand the traffic in a kitchen. Ceramic tile resists wear, spills, and stains while today’s vinyl flooring comes in a wide range of styles and colors. Some styles mimic wood or tile floors, but with much easier maintenance.

Whether you update in one crazy week or work at the project slowly over a period of months, upgrades in your kitchen can provide some real bang for the buck. n

Perhaps the biggest impact can be made with new countertops. While granite is very popular these days it can cost as much as $50 to $100 per square foot installed. Less expensive options include composites, laminates, poured concrete, or butcher block. Laminate, for example, generally runs from $10

Marilyn Pribus and her husband live near Charlottesville. Last year, Lowe’s [or a local home improvement company] replaced their countertops and installed a backsplash.

They had the kitchen’s wood floor refinished, then the two of them added the finishing touches with some carefully color-coordinated paint.

“K

itchens have historically served as a gathering place for friends and family, originally because it was usually the warmest place in the house,” observes REALTOR® Janet Matthews, founder of Charlottesville Town and Country.

“The open floor plans that are prevalent today help with creating space and make the kitchen much more visible and integrated in to the flow of the house.”

Matthews knows that an updated kitchen is a big selling point when marketing a house today. “The cost of upgrading a kitchen is usually a good investment because most buyers see remodeling a kitchen as inconvenient and expensive. They don’t want to do it themselves.”

Remodeling magazine’s annual analysis reveals that upgrading a kitchen is estimated return anywhere from 70 to more than 100 percent of the investment when the house is sold. And as Matthews points out, an upgraded kitchen definitely gives sellers an edge.

“Spend your dollars wisely,” counsels Matthews. “Getting flooring, need-

ed cabinetry, and appliances on sale can reduce your costs and help you sell your house.”

Key points are to do your research, plan wisely, and work in stages if that’s what the budget will cover. Visit model homes, home improvement stores, and websites to check out the latest styles and find what you love.

Start Small You can make a big difference with some economical cosmetic changes.

Often these are projects that do-ityourselfers can handle easily. Fresh paint is a good place to start, but it’s important to find the right color and those little two-inch-square samples are very difficult to judge. These days, however, many paint dealers offer a small low-cost pot of paint that will cover a large enough space to really evaluate the color by daylight and under artificial light.

Other modest steps might include new lighting, new window treatments, or refinished cabinet fronts with new hardware. Even something as simple as replacing an old kitchen faucet—with that corrosion you don’t even see any more—with a nice new one makes a difference.
