‘Headwinds’ to Filling Up Office Space?

National Science Foundation’s Exodus Could Push Vacancy Rate Past 20% SCOTT McCAFFREY

SALUTING THE CLASS OF 2017!

Despite the efforts of Arlington officials to cut the county’s office-vacancy rate below 20 percent, it again could bump up over that figure when the National Science Foundation decamps to Alexandria at the end of the year.

And even without that looming departure, the county faces “other considerable headwinds that we’re still dealing with on a daily basis,” said Christina Winn, director of Arlington Economic Development’s Business Investment Group, in a June 20 presentation to the County Board.

Winn was on hand to explain the rationale behind giving $800,000 in local funds – on top of $500,000 in state funds – to Bloomberg BNA, a firm focused on legal, tax and regulatory issues, to support the firm’s expansion in Arlington.

To get the cash, BNA aims to relocate 250 jobs to Arlington and occupy an additional 78,000 square feet of office space.

Economic-incentive grants are a relatively new tool for the Arlington government, where county officials long have used the community’s strategic location as its main selling point. But since 2015, 12 such agreements have been inked between the county government and businesses.

Winn said the total payout from county coffers so far has been about $500,000, although more will be pushed through the pipeline if the various firms meet incentive targets.

GRADUATION 2017

Wakefield Grads Leave with Bonds to Last Forever DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

In her “looking ahead” speech, senior Rebecca Anne Bean described Wakefield High School’s 2017 graduation ceremony as three different periods of time – one very short, another lengthy and the last indefinite.

“It took us 13 years to get to this stage, just a moment to cross it, and now a lifetime to look forward to,” said Bean, the last of four student speakers at the June 21 nighttime event at D.A.R. Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. where 361 Wakefield Warriors were listed as graduates.

“Don’t stop asking for things, and ask for opportunities in the very sense of the word,” Bean advised her fellow graduates.

“Like Wayne Gretzky and [“The Office’s”] Michael Scott said: “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.”

Wakefield principal Christian Willmore welcomed the graduates to the fourth of four such ceremonies held June 21 at busy Constitution Hall. He announced that the seniors earned more than $6 million in scholarship money, and welcomed Arlington superintendent Patrick Murphy and School Board members James Lander and Reid Goldstein.

“Our sincerest congratulations to the graduates and this Class of 2017,” Willmore said.

Seniors Noah Sampson and Nishita Barua then welcomed the seniors, dressed in green or white gowns.

Sampson told a story about two mice in a tough situation, and one drowned.

“We are all that second mouse who didn’t give up,” Sampson said.

Said Barua: “At Wakefield, with every hardship comes something good. As we go on to the next chapter in our lives, we are bonded as Warriors. I feel every one of us will go on and do amazing things.”

The Class of 2017 is the first to have spent all four years at the “new” Wakefield, which took the place of an older building on the same campus. On her reflections over the past four years at Wakefield, senior Hannah Lederle-Ensign explained how, as freshmen, many started high school with “a lot of questions, no answers and a lot of anxieties.” Going forward, she said, questions remain an important thing.

Wakefield faculty member Alan Beitler was chosen by the seniors to be the faculty and guest speaker. He emphasized the word “goodbye” during his talk.

“Tonight is the finish line, and you made it. Well done,” Beitler said. “In ad-

dition to a night of celebration, tonight is a time to say goodbye.”

He explained that saying goodbye takes courage, maybe because it’s so hard.

“It takes a Warrior to have the guts to

say goodbye,” Beitler said. “Nothing will ever be the same again. There is no more homework or class projects. Class of 2017, the world awaits you. Go and make the Warrior nation proud.”

GRADUATION 2017

W-L Graduates Heading Off to New Experiences PAUL LARA Staff Writer

When she arrived at Washington-Lee High School as a freshman four years ago, Niki Kowsar experienced the same anxious trepidations many of her classmates were undergoing.

To get acclimated, she threw herself into student life.

“I wanted to go to every club interest meeting, to show . . . that I was an active student,” said Kowsar, who was born in Iran and spent her first eight years there before coming to the United States.

By her senior year, Kowsar said, she understood the necessity of getting focused.

“I had to get rid of what no longer mattered. Priorities had to be checked, sacrifices had to be made,” Kowsar said at the high school’s 2017 graduation ceremony, held June 21 at D.A.R. Constitution Hall.

With more than 530 members, the Class of 2017 was the largest in modern Washington-Lee history. Family members and friends packed into the indoor venue for a send-off as students celebrated the passage of one phase of life and the beginning of another.

Principal Gregg Robertson ignited the

crowd by noting that the Class of 2017 had a perfect graduation rate of 100 percent, with nearly 180 seniors attaining valedictorian status by earning a 4.0 grade point average or higher.

In addition, more than 70 Washington-Lee seniors were honored for graduating from the school’s International Baccalaureate program.

While Robertson congratulated the students on all their hard work in reaching this day, he reminded them it was not a solo effort.

“Sometime today, take your parents to the side and thank them for their support, because you’d not be here today without them,” Robertson said.

Robertson said he has seen this class as outwardly focused on the well-being of others.

“You didn’t have to be at school that early, but you took the time to welcome the ninth-graders on their first day of high school, and I cannot tell you what a big difference that made for them,” he said.

In a somber moment, the first diploma handed out that day was for Jayant Tripathi, a valedictorian who died in April.

Tripathi, who also had attended Glebe Elementary and Swanson Middle schools, had been accepted to attend the University of Virginia.

His father, Ajai, accepted the Advanced Studies diploma from Robertson.

Kowsar, who was selected from among valedictorians to speak for the class, urged her peers to face the future with heads held high.

“We’re going through a big change tonight. Now that we’re adults, we have to face the next chapter, and it’s up to us to decide how to take them on,” she said.

“Change is necessary, because it helps us grow as individuals.”

The senior class voted to hear from social-studies teacher Peter Vogel, who assured the graduates, “I’ve been at

Washington-Lee for 19 years. I know you can’t find a finer group of educators anywhere.”

Vogel, who grew up in Hawaii, thanked the class for all the memories they had given him, and urged them to continue thinking of others as they move on.

“Be good, and do good,” he said. “Aloha.”

Washington-Lee is Arlington’s oldest existing public high school, having opened its doors in 1925 and honored its first graduating class (consisting of a single student) in 1927. The current school facilities were constructed from 2006-09.

Yorktown Students Asked to Dream Big and Achieve PAUL LARA Staff Writer

There was a pale blue flood at D.A.R. Constitution Hall on June 21 – satin rather than water, as nearly 400 Yorktown High School students filled the historic venue as they began to put their own personal imprints on the future.

“These four years are just chapters,” senior Grace Stroup told fellow classmates.

“I urge you to write a story full of kindness and seek out those important words, and dedicate your time to kindness, love and personal growth.”

Many of the students expressed relief that an exhausting year had come to an end, while others noted with some sadness that this was perhaps the final moment that their entire class would assemble under the same roof: • “It’s surreal, but really special to be in the same place with all my classmates for the last time,” said Kiely Westhoff, taking her place and preparing for the afternoon graduation ceremony.

• “It’s great to be finished,” acknowledged graduating senior Austin Stout, speaking of the stresses of transitioning from high school to next phase of life.

• “It was a lot of work. It was exhausting,” added Flora Yapi, a member of the graduating class.

The Yorktown High School Symphony opted to lighten the seriousness of the 4

moment, though. As the faculty and staff began processing toward the hall’s main stage, the traditional notes of Edward Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance” were momentarily replaced by Darth Vader’s Theme from the movie “Star Wars” creating a swell of laughter.

Yorktown principal Raymond Pasi,

who himself is “graduating” – retiring from the school system – announced that the graduating class had yielded impressive results, including $13 million in scholarship funds.

Pasi urged the new graduates to make the most of their days ahead, whether they are headed to college, the workforce

www.insidenova.com

or the military.

“Don’t stop now. It’s time for you to find your brain and open year heart to those around you. It’s time to recognize your gifts and be thankful for them,” Pasi said.

Selected to speak for the 56th annual graduating class was Diane Calderon Nolasco. Born to immigrant parents, she made the most of the opportunities presented to her in the school’s welcoming environment.

“Since I am the first in my family to graduate, this is a special day indeed,” Calderon said.

She urged her classmates to remember that they live in a special country, and that many come to the U.S. because they know that here, they have the opportunity to dream big. And she encouraged her classmates to repay those opportunities by giving back.

“There’s something truly beautiful about serving others,” Calderon said.

“Wherever you begin your new journey, always have someone in mind besides yourself. Be a change agent, and leave a spark to your legacy.”

Stroup said classmates should do their part to restore civility to civic discourse.

“We have studied words our entire lives, and Yorktown has taught me that words matter,” she said. “How we say, what we say and the tone in which we say it matters.”

SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

For many of the 67 members of the Class of 2017 at Arlington Community High School, the journey to a diploma had not been without some major detours.

Most came to the local area from another country, often speaking a language other than English. Many had to juggle school with work and family responsibilities.

“We had to learn quickly how to manage our time,” said Veronica Olivera Rojas, who is headed to Northern Virginia Community College with plans for a business degree and career as a financial analyst.

Olivera Rojas and her classmates were saluted by teachers, administrators, family and friends during a graduation ceremony held June 22 at WashingtonLee High School.

The Class of 2017 was the first to graduate under the school’s new name – it had been Arlington Mill High School until last year – and the first to earn diplomas since the school moved last year to a new home adjacent to the Arlington Career Center.

“It is the perfect school for us,” said Guadalupe de Jesus Barrera Quinonez, who gave much of the credit for student success to teachers and their “wonderful work empowering us for the future.”

“Thank you for allowing us to fight for a better future,” Barrera Quinonez told them. “We are people of integrity.

We believe that dreams are achievable.”

Principal Barbara Thompson agreed that teachers played a major role in “holding their feet to the flame,” but said the students deserved the lion’s share of

credit for their efforts.

“Each and every one of you has persevered,” she said. “You’ve worked harder than most to achieve this accomplishment. It is a very happy day.”

Thompson noted that the school’s nickname – the Mavericks – effectively captured the spirit of the graduating class.

At the graduation ceremony, Nohemi Martinez-Funes and Eli Asael Pereira Ramos earned academic-achievement awards, while Olivera Rojas and a number of classmates were honored for receiving scholarships to further their education.

Several members of the class said their efforts at achieving the American Dream were just beginning: • “Always believe in yourself,” advised graduate Fatima-Zahra Ammour, who is headed to college with aspirations of becoming a police officer.

• “Keep pushing and you will get there,” said Curly Bryant III, another new graduate.

Another advised her classmates to stop saying “I wish” and change it to “I will.”

School Board Chairman Nancy Van Doren praised the students and the “decision each of you made to give yourself the chance to improve.”

“Your futures are bright,” said Van Doren, encouraging the students to help one another as they move forward in life.

“Reach out – there are many, many people who want to help you succeed,” she said.

Also honored at the ceremony were the more than 60 tutors and volunteers from across the community who work to assist students.

Our View: Just Name It All ‘Richmond Highway’

The Alexandria city government has set up a task force to provide suggested alternatives to the name “Jefferson Davis Highway,” the official moniker of U.S. Route 1 as it runs north to south through the commonwealth.

At least based on an advisory opinion issued by the state attorney general’s office two years ago, Alexandria officials have the authority to change the name within city limits. (Due to the quirks of state law, however, neighboring Arlington – which surely would love to dump ol’ Jeff Davis’s name as well – requires state approval for any name change.)

Assuming that Alexandria follows through and imposes a new name, drivers heading south from the 14th Street Bridge will find themselves on one road with three different names as it moves from Arlington to Alexandria and through Fairfax County, where the stretch of roadway long has been known as Richmond Highway.

Nobody’s going to claim that Northern Virginia localities have any degree of savvy when it comes to dealing with state government, particularly the General Assembly, so let us be the ones to propose a relatively easy way to make almost everyone happy. Everyone, except, those who wish to keep the name of Davis on the highway, even though he had no direct connection to the Old Dominion (he was born in Kentucky and grew to adulthood in Mississippi); was, by many accounts,

a micro-managing wreck as president of the Confederacy; and did little after the war to promote national reconciliation.

Here is our two-part, free advice to the governments of Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax: • Ever so quietly, make inquiries of the leadership of both houses and both parties of the legislature, to see if there would be agreement on changing the name of the entire roadway through Virginia to Richmond Highway, as it’s known in Fairfax County.

• If the answer is yes, allow the leadership in the legislature to pick a bipartisan group of patrons and grease the wheels to move this through during the 2018 session. And then, local governments, just hush up, stay out of the way and let the legislative meat-grinder do its thing.

In general, we’re not fans of removing the names of historic figures from roads, schools and the like, or dismantling statues, as seems to be a fad these days. They are feel-good efforts of the left that, like cotton candy, serve only to provide a sugar high without any real nutritional value.

But we’re not intractable; given the far-from-close relationship between Virginia and Jefferson Davis, we’re fine with seeing his name replaced. Doesn’t it make more sense to do it in a singular piece of statewide legislation than a patchwork quilt of self-serving efforts?

Where Is the Local Effort on Opioid Crisis?

Editor: Just about every community is facing an opioids-heroin problem. Former Arlington Second District Police Capt.

Kameran Afzal told the Radnor-Fort Myer Heights Civic Association that arrests here have doubled. Afzal’s replacement, Capt. Vincent, says drug problems generally are growing.

In Maryland, Gov. Larry Hogan, Maryland Public Television and the State’s Attorney for Anne Arundel County held a day of seminars this spring. Gov. Hogan and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe met on the topic, along with D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser. Efforts have been made to tighten-up prescriptions. And, Anne Arundel County set up a program with its fire department and, EMTs – if you have addiction problems, you can go to the nearest fire station and they’ll help.

Meanwhile, what’s happening in Ar-

lington, other than more arrests?

I spoke with Commonwealth’s Attorney Theo Stamos at length. She was unsure what her office, a law-enforcement agency, could do. I suggested that she speak with Anita Friedman, the head of the county’s Department of Human Services. Maybe they could do something.

At an Arlington Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee meeting, I asked County Board members Christian Dorsey and Katie Cristol to tackle the problem. They seemed interested.

But that was months ago. Nothing seems to have been done on that front, at least not yet.

Part of the solution to any problem is always high-level attention. If the political leadership says an issue is important, the civil service usually, if not always, responds. Your chances for progress are better.

Here, we have an issue that candidates Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump all said needs to be addressed. We have the governors of Maryland and Virginia working together. So it seems to me that Arlington County’s leadership needs to take action.

Land-use management, buildingoccupancy rate and economic-development concerns that preoccupy the County Board will survive some benign neglect. The parking and transportation issues can be deferred for a while.

Now, in short, is the time for Arlington’s constitutional officers and elected officials to demonstrate real leadership. They’re capable, talented people.

All they need is more motivation to do something.

Kenneth Robinson Arlington

Editor: Alex Gallo’s letter [“Is County Board in Touch with the Middle Class?” June 22] regarding the County Board’s position on the Westover Beer Garden situation has prompted me to ask a question.

I have watched the Opinion page fairly closely during the past year and, not surprisingly, there have been a fair

share of complaints about various aspects of the County Board.

This is not unusual; as we all know, governance cannot please everyone.

Since Arlington is so often advertised as one of America’s pre-eminent places to live, visit and do business, I would expect a response from the board to some of the recurring comments.

Surely, I thought, a “world-class”

community must have an ombudsman, and in fact, there are two of them. Sharon Flanagan-Watson is the business ombudsman and Robert Sharpe is the resident ombudsman. So perhaps we should send more of these thoughts to them and ask them to investigate on our behalf.

County Board Chairman Jay Fisette makes remarks during his visit to Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, PHOTO BY OLGA POLUBOTKO one of five Sister City relationships Arlington has.

Having already briefed his colleagues, County Board Chairman Jay Fisette said he’d like to lead a community gathering based on his trip to Arlington’s Sister City of Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine.

“It was fascinating, and there is a strong interest in connecting with Arlington,” Fisette said following his visit to the community, which is celebrating its 355th anniversary.

“I came back all jazzed up,” Fisette said.

Ivano-Frankivsk in 2011 became Arlington’s fifth Sister City relationship, joining Coyoancán, Mexico; Aachen, Germany; Reims, France; and San Miguel, El Salvador. The city, originally called Stanyslaviv, in 1962 was named after Ukrainian poet and political activist, Ivan Franko (1856-1916).

One of the purposes of his trip was to build community-to-community relationships, and to help the residents of IvanoFrankivsk develop their community-engagement processes, as the community has spent much of its existence under the thumb of totalitarian regimes.

“They’re still trying to set up the system and the processes,” Fisette said.

Arlington Notes MEDIAN AGE TICKS UP SLIGHTLY IN ARLINGTON: Aging in place is picking up

pace across Arlington, as the median age of county residents continues to creep up, according to new figures.

The median age of 34.6 years in Arlington last year was up from 34.5 years a year before and from 33.4 in 2010, according to figures recently reported by the U.S. Census Bureau.

“The Baby Boom generation is largely responsible for this trend,” said Peter Borsella, a demographer with the Census Bureau. “Baby Boomers began turning 65 in 2011 and will continue to do so for many years to come.”

Most Northern Virginia jurisdictions saw an increase in the median age from 2015-16, with the exceptions of Fauquier County and the cities of Falls Church and Fairfax. Across the region, the median age in 2016 ranged from 34.2 years in the city of Manassas to 42 years in Fauquier County.

Median is the point at which half the population is older, half younger, and is distinct from average age.

DROUGHT CONDITIONS LESS OF CONCERN AFTER RAIN: State officials have

removed Northern Virginia from areas of the commonwealth where there is concern about pending drought conditions.

The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality on June 21 lifted the “drought watch” advisory for the region, which includes Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun and Prince William counties and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park.

Above-normal precipitation in recent months has helped ease concerns about the potential for drought in the region, state officials said.

Virginia categorizes water-availability conditions in four categories: “normal,” “watch,” “warning” and “emergency.”

Most of the commonwealth currently is in “normal” status, although the Northern Piedmont region continues under a drought-watch advisory based on concerns that less-than-normal rainfall during summer months could cause problems later in the year.

Virginia is divided into 13 droughtevaluation areas. For information, see the Web site at www.deq.virginia.gov.

REMOVAL OF TREES CAUSES CLOSURE OF ROOSEVELT ISLAND: Public

access to Theodore Roosevelt Island will be prohibited through mid-July as the National Park Service works to remove diseased trees from along trail areas.

A recent survey found extensive damage to trees due to the invasive emerald ash borer, which can kill ash trees within two to three years of infection.

Park staff and contractors will be working to clear out dead and diseased trees, a process that is likely to take about three weeks, National Park Service officials said on June 26. The actual length

of the process will be dependent in part on weather.

The emerald ash borer infestation in the local region is now more than 10 years old, having in some areas killed a quarter of white ash trees. There is no known cure, and once infected, trees quickly become dry, brittle and hazardous.

Located in the Potomac River and accessible from Rosslyn, Theodore Roosevelt Island’s 88 acres have a history dating back before the arrival of colonial settlers.

While most of the island has been left in its natural state, there is an area with a monument paying tribute to the nation’s 26th president.

HONOR BESTOWED AT NAUCK CAR SHOW: Jerome “Duke” Miller was hon-

ored for best-in-show at the annual Nauck Antique & Classic Car Show, held June 17.

The award was voted by the attendees of the event, which also included a fish fry and barbecue.

The Nauck community is now planning for its next big event: On Sept. 16, the Nauck Civic Association will host its annual Nauck Civic & Community Pride Day. Organizers are now scheduling entertainment, vendors and participants.

2 Voting Precincts to Move in Time for General Election SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Voters in two Arlington communities will be casting ballots in new locations come the November general election.

County Board members in July are expected to authorize relocation of voting locations in two precincts: • In Crystal City Precinct (006), voting will move from Crystal Place, 1801 Crystal Drive, to Crystal Gateway, 1300 Crystal Drive. County officials say the firm that owns Crystal Place informed election staff it no longer wishes to host polling.

• In Rosslyn Precinct (019), voting will move from Fire Station #10, 1559 Wilson Blvd., to 1800 Oak Apartments, 1800 North Oak St. The fire station is slated to be razed and rebuilt.

County Board members will hold what is likely to be a pro-forma public hearing on the changes in mid-July. County officials are no longer required to submit pre-

cinct changes to the U.S. Department of Justice for review under the federal Voting Rights Act. Provisional Votes OK’d by Electoral Board: Their votes weren’t counted on the day of voting, but 36 Arlingtonians who cast ballots in the June 13 party primaries ultimately were able to have their voice heard.

The Arlington Electoral Board accepted 35 Democratic provisional ballots, plus one Republican ballot, at its meeting to certify results of the primaries.

In all, 80 voters had cast Democratic ballots provisionally and six had cast Republican ballots, according to the Virginia Department of Elections.

Voters can cast provisional ballots if there are questions about their voterregistration status; if they did not bring required photo-identification to the polls; or for a number of other reasons.

Those voting provisional ballots then have a three-day window to provide the requisite information to election officials, although many often do not, since the results of an election already are known and, except in the most extreme cases, provisional ballots would not change the outcome.

SUSAN COX BURKE

Susan Cox Burke, born Linda Susan Cox on May 22, 1942, in Arlington, Virginia, to Robert W. Cox and Ruth O. Cox, died on June 3, 2017, in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Corinthian Contractors Inc. has been successfully in business since 1999 in Heavy Civil, Highway, Sewer, Water, Tunnel and Base Building. Over the years we have been involved with some of the region’s most prestigious and challenging projects, earning a reputation for excellence in safety, competitive pricing, performance and quality work.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Ruth, and two of her daughters, Mary Ruth Stuart (1974) and Sarah Jane Stuart (2008).

She is survived by her remaining children, Susan E.S. Taloff, known as Betsy (Chris), Judith Stuart-Coffelt (Ken), and James P. Stuart (Suzanne); grandchildren, Emily Stuart Worley (Jeff), Mary E. Taloff, Matthew N. Taloff, Samantha I. Stuart and Tyler J. Stuart, and cousins, Sarah Dudrow Bigelow (Paul) and Martha Dudrow. She is survived by two brothers, Robert A. Cox and Kevin O. Cox, and their wives and children. She leaves behind her two beloved Westies, Teddy and Kylie, who were her constant companions for more than 10 years. Susan is also survived by countless people who she considered to be family, especially close friends at St. Andrew’s Church in Arlington, Virginia, her home church for most of her life.

Others to whom she was particularly close include Joyce Badanes, Kathleen Sprague, known as Kelly, and Peter Burris-Meyer.

Susan had many roles throughout her eventful life. She was a mom, wife, actress, teacher, small business owner, singer, and active in her church. She was particularly passionate about theatre, and frequently appeared in, directed, and stage managed shows. For several years, she taught children’s theater workshops. She also had a talent for rescuing struggling young people. Susan touched countless people’s lives and was loved by many.

But her life was plagued by tragedy and serious health issues. Despite that, she had a remarkable ability to overcome and start over. She was extremely grateful for the love and generosity of numerous people who helped her through her struggles over the years. In 2005, she wrote she would like to be remembered as someone who “tried to be a good, loving person, and to keep putting one foot in front of the other, no matter what.”

A funeral service was held on Monday, June 26, 2017, at 1 pm at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church at 4000 Lorcom Lane, Arlington, VA, with a reception immediately thereafter in the Church Hall. A private interment for family and close friends will be held prior to the funeral.

Susan will be interred at Columbia Gardens, near her daughters, Mary Ruth and Sarah Jane.

Susan’s remains were handled by Hamlett-Dobson, 117 East Charlemont Avenue, Kingsport, TN. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Susan’s honor to The Arlington Players at www.TheArlingtonPlayers.org, or to your favorite charity.

its longtime home at Rosslyn Spectrum Theatre slated for redevelopment, the National Chamber Ensemble has announced plans for a 2017-18 season that will include performances at Gunston Arts Center and Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington.

Since its founding in 2007, the performing-arts organization has incorporated a variety of different styles – from tango and klezmer to opera and modern dance – into its performances.

“I find it exciting to perform music requiring a different approach to technique and expression,” said Carlos César Rodríguez, a pianist who has been with the

organization since the beginning. “It’s a great joy to be able to make music with my dear friends and colleagues.”

The season will open with “Night in the Garden of Spain” on Oct. 14 at Gunston Arts Center, opening a five-production season that runs through May 2018.

Season-ticket packages will be on sale beginning July 10.

New(ish) County Auditor Pledges Responsiveness SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

As he embarks on his first full fiscal year on the job, the Arlington County Board’s auditor said he aims to put the needs of the public first as he reviews county-government spending processes.

In remarks at the June 20 County Board meeting, Chris Horton told board members he would be “citizen-centric – looking at things from the perspective of community members, not just from the perspective of managers.”

Horton last November was hired as the auditor, after the first occupant of that position left after six months to move to California. The position is just one of four staff slots reporting directly to County Board members, rather than through

the county manager.

Horton, who came from a similar position with Fairfax County Public Schools, said his role would be one of an honest broker.

“I’ve got to be someone who is collaborative in working with people to strive to get mutually beneficial solutions,” he said.

“We’re all on the same team.”

At their June 20 meeting, County Board members directed Horton to focus on two areas – fleet management and public-safety overtime – during the coming year, plus perform any other audits as time allowed.

Board members also specifically added a member of the Fiscal Affairs Advisory Committee to the committee that oversees the auditor’s work.

Before her departure, previous auditor

Jessica Tucker last year worked on and audit of ambulance-billing practices. Officials with the county fire department say they have implemented all the recommendations of that report.

General Assembly approval was required for the County Board to hire an auditor outside the ranks of staff who

report up through the county manager.

County Board member John Vihstadt, who pressed for the position, said it has proved a net positive despite a somewhat rocky first 18 months.

“We’re all very enthusiastic,” Vihstadt said of moving forward.

Vihstadt and County Board Chairman Jay Fisette represent the elected body on the audit committee, which also includes government staff and members of the public. The hiring, firing and performance evaluation of the auditor, however, remain the exclusive domain of County Board members.

Besides the auditor, the only staff reporting directly to the County Board are County Manager Mark Schwartz, County Attorney Stephen MacIsaac and clerk to the board Hope Halleck.

“It still works, and I think that’s great,” he said. “It really works in the sense of building community bonds. It brings people together . . . it leads to solutions.”

As often is the case when County Board members salute departing commission members, board members put in a plug for continued involvement.

“I hope that you will launch another community-engagement involvement,” County Board member John Vihstadt said.

County, GWU Update Agreement on Baseball Field SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington County Board members on June 20 ratified an updated agreement with George Washington University, allowing the university to make $3 million in upgrades to COUNTY the Barcroft Park baseball NOTES complex while extending the life of the partnership to 2041.

The revision continues a relationship between the county government and educational institution that has endured since 1992, when George Washington began using a baseball field at Barcroft Park, located along South Four Mile Run Drive.

In 2011, the pact was formalized in a 20year agreement between the parties.

Under the revisions approved June 20, George Washington will pay for construction of a clubhouse with locker room, shower facilities, laundry room, indoor batting tunnels and offices adjacent to the field, and will enclose batting cages. Local teams will continue to have access to the existing facilities.

According to county officials, much of the improvement package has been supported by financial contributions by Avram Tucker, a member of the GWU board of trustees. In recognition of his support, the university now refers to its home turf as “Tucker Field.”

George Washington University competes in the Atlantic 10 conference. During the 2017 season, the baseball team went 14-10 in conference action (fourth in the 13-team league), 31-27 overall.

Commission Veteran Sockwell Lauded by County Board: Arlington County Board members on June 20 saluted the nearly two-decade-long efforts of community volunteer Steve Sockwell in the planning arena.

Sockwell’s service includes tenures on the Planning Commission, Transportation Commission and Public Facilities

Review Committee, as well as efforts related to traffic-calming and education.

Throughout his tenure, Sockwell provided “an incredible even-handedness” without built-in biases, County Board Chairman Jay Fisette said.

“Quiet but effective – very good at calming roiled waters,” the board chairman said.

In his remarks, Sockwell put in a plug for the Arlington Way of decision-making.

Capital One’s Plan in Tysons Gets Positive Reviews BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Capital One Bank’s modified proposal for its Tysons headquarters site has generated plenty of buzz – most of it positive – among business leaders, community organizations and performing-arts groups.

Capital One has proposed to build a performing-arts center and a Wegmans grocery store at the nearly 24.6-acre site, which is bounded by Interstate 495, Route 123 and Scotts Crossing Road.

“This is a tremendous, unparalleled opportunity that is not likely to come along again in the near future,” said Lisa Mariam of the Arts Council of Fairfax

Vacancy Continued from Page 1 the economic-incentive program, but acknowledge that the work is unlikely to be done in the coming year due to other priorities.)

After having one of the lowest office-vacancy rates in the region for years, Arlington’s rate topped 20 percent starting in early 2014. While now down to 18.9 percent, according to the most recent quarterly data, the departure of the National Science Foundation is expected to

County during a June 21 public hearing of the county’s Planning Commission.

The commission voted to decide on June 29 whether to recommend that county supervisors approve Capital One’s proposal.

Capital One’s site now has a 14-story building, a two-story conference center, a nine-level parking garage and surface parking.

Fairfax County supervisors in 2014 amended the original 2012 rezoning to increase of the height of a planned skyscraper to 470 feet. It is under construction now and will be the tallest building in Tysons.

New plans call for the site’s Block C to

include a Wegmans and a 125,000-squarefoot Capital One Center, which would provide space for cultural offerings and corporate training.

Capital One’s plans “absolutely fulfill the extraordinary vision” of the county’s comprehensive plan for Tysons, said Antonio Calabrese, an attorney for the applicant.

“I think there’s one opportunity to get the type of performing-arts center to complement the corporate center,” he said. “Maybe it’s once in a couple of decades. I think it’s once in a lifetime. It’s a $120 million building.”

The center, which would include a 1,500-seat main performance hall, two

classrooms and a 225-seat “black box” multipurpose hall, would be built in lieu of a previously approved 30,000-squarefoot community center that would have been used by Fairfax County for recreational purposes.

The 80,000-square-foot Wegmans store, which would have an urban design only two-thirds the size of the company’s usual outlets, would be located on the ground level of a building on Block C’s eastern side and have 10 levels of structured parking above it.

A “Common Green” would be located on top of the parking structure and feature a public park and private amenities for the block’s residential structures.

add 1.5 percent to the countywide rate, Winn said.

Arlington’s economic-development efforts have been hit-or-miss; the county government has scored some major successes such as Nestlé, which is headed to Rosslyn, but also has lost out to Alexandria, Fairfax County, the District of Columbia and localities in Maryland in various deals.

Arlington was beaten out by Alexandria for the National Science Foundation, which for decades has been based in leased space in Ballston. Both communities offered incentive packages; the General Services Administration, which manages real estate for the federal government, increas-

ingly has taken a bottom-line approach to making deals, and the final cost was lower in Alexandria.

Giving taxpayer cash to enormously large global businesses – including Nestlé, which has annual revenues of more than $90 billion – has drawn brushback from some in the public, who say the funds are better spent on core community services.

Many of those critics also have complained about the staff size and budget of the county government’s economic-development office, although elected officials view the increased spending as an investment that will pay positive dividends to the bottom line.

Whether Arlington’s recent decline in

office-vacancy rates is a reflection of the incentives, staff work, regional trends or a combination is an open question. In neighboring Fairfax County, where the overall commercial-vacancy rate ballooned to 16.3 percent in 2014, it declined to 16.2 percent in 2015 and 15.8 percent in 2016, according to the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority.

Unlike Arlington, where commercial construction in recent years has declined as developers have focused on residential projects, Fairfax continues to see a building spree in office space – nine projects totaling more than 3.1 million square feet of office space were in the pipeline at the end of 2016.

South Is Home to Most Fast-Growing Localities Ten of the 15 fastest-growing large cities in the nation were located across the South in 2016, with four of the top five in Texas, according to new population estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Conroe, Texas (near Houston), was the fastest-growing large city (population of 50,000 or more) between 2015 and 2016 at 7.8 percent, making its growth rate more than 11 times the nation’s growth rate of 0.7 percent.

Some of the other fastest-growing cities were Frisco, Texas (6.2 percent); McKinney, Texas (5.9 percent); Greenville, S.C. (5.8 percent); and Georgetown, Texas (5.5 percent).

“Overall, cities in the South continue to grow at a faster rate than any other U.S region,” said Amel Toukabri, a demographer in the Census Bureau’s population division. “Since the 2010 Census, the population in large southern cities grew by an average of 9.4 percent. In comparison, cities in the West grew 7.3 percent, while cities in the Northeast and Midwest had much lower growth rates at 1.8 percent and 3.0 percent respectively.”

Four cities in the West – Bend, Ore.; Buckeye, Ariz.; Lehi, Utah; and Meridian, Idaho – were among the top 15 fastest growing. Only one city in the Midwest (Ankeny, Iowa) topped the list, while no cities in the Northeast

were among the nation’s fastest growing.

The statistics cover all local governmental units, including incorporated places (such as cities and towns), minor civil divisions (such as townships) and consolidated cities (government units for which the functions of an incorporated place and its parent county have merged).

While the overall list of the 15 largest U.S. cities did not change since 2015, Columbus (Ohio) surpassed Indianapolis, becoming the 14th largest city in the United States with a population of 860,090. Indianapolis has a population of 855,164.

New York remains America’s largest city by a wide margin. Its July 1, 2016, population of 8.5 million makes it more than twice as large as the next largest city, Los Angeles.

Los Angeles remains the secondlargest city, with a population of about 4 million. Despite a population loss of 8,638, Chicago remains the third-largest city, with a population of 2.7 million.

Phoenix, Ariz., had the largest numeric increase of any city, by adding 32,113 (about 88 people per day on average) between 2015 and 2016.

Of the 19,510 incorporated places in the United States, around 76 percent (14,801) had fewer than 5,000

people in 2015, whereas only 3.9 percent (752) of cities had a population of 50,000 or more. Since 2015, on average, these small towns have seen uneven growth across U.S. regions: • Northeast small towns declined

by 0.5 percent.

• Midwest small towns declined by 0.3 percent.

• Small towns in the South grew by Continued on Page 22

Realtor Q&A: Are Good Sales Skills Transferable?

DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer Would real estate agents do well other types of sales? The Sun Gazette asked some local agents that question. Here are their answers: Billy Buck, Buck & Associates: “Good listening is the key for any kind of sales job. If you believe in and are convincing about your product, then it doesn’t matter if you are selling ice or yo-yos.”

Dawn Wilson, Keller Williams: “Being a good real estate salesperson takes some of the same skills that are required for other types of sales. Most importantly, you need to be a good listener and to understand your clients’ needs and what they want to achieve, and be able to help them get to the end result they want. Being good at communication, being positive, being professional, being responsive, being determined, being good at followthrough and not being easily discouraged are skills that good real estate salespeople have and are also transferable to other types of sales.”

Jane Price, Weichert: “Real-estate sales skills are transferable, particularly having in-depth product knowledge, identifying client goals and needs, building a client base, knowing marketing and maintaining professional standards.”

WE

Karen Close, Century 21: “I’m not sure it’s really about selling. It’s more of a human touch and building relationships with people. It’s a knowledge of the whole process, sharing that knowledge and building trust are the most important things in any types of sales.”

Stacy Hennessey, McEnearney Associates: “If you’re passionate about your product, whether it be selling a home or fund-raising for a charity, you’ll be successful. People recognize honesty and passion.”

Renee Fisher, McEnearney Associates: “Being a successful real-estate professional, like being successful in any other sales profession, is about creating relationships. And the foundation of any relationship is trust.

Realtors can learn new skills that are required for other types of sales, but the ability to create a relationship is the common thread.”

Lori Shafran, Yeonas and Shafran Real Estate: “The short answer is yes.

To be successful in sales you have to have a strong sense of empathy and have a sincere desire to serve others.

You have to be a very specific listener to what they need and deliver what they want. The customer-satisfaction side is huge.”

Craig Mastrangelo, Re/Max Allegiance: “Regardless of the product (i.e. real estate, software, staffing,

etc.), a salesperson must first use their knowledge of their market/discipline to attract clients and then create an environment in which they sell themselves and create a professional relationship in which the client feels they are getting value for the sales services being provided. These inherent sales skills exist in many different types of sales. It is up to the salesperson to successfully implement them so they create a stream of steady business to be successful.”

John Mentis, Long and Foster: “I think good sales people are good sales people, if they can match up clients’ need with the products they need.”

Betsy Twigg, Washington Fine Properties: “Yes, because good selling involves relationships with people, gaining their confidence and trust and being very honest and forthcoming.

Then, they will trust you are selling a good product.”

Casey Margenau, Casey Margenau Fine Homes & Estates: “Yes, of course. Sales is sales, but when you are talking about real estate, that is a much longer process. Other things, like automobiles and shoes, is a much faster process. The skills you learn in sales help you to be able to cross-sell.

But if you sell real estate the way you sell other products, you can be successful in the short term, but not the long term.”

Dean Yeonas, Yeonas and Shafran Real Estate: “It could be. Selling real estate is more of a consultation and advising process than selling. If you are a successful real estate agent that skill set is transferable because of your attention to details and your social skills and how to relate to people.”

Karen Briscoe, Huckaby Briscoe Group: “Like the Frank Sinatra song, ‘New York, New York.’ If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. I think it is the same in sales. If you can make it in real estate, those tend to stay in real estate, but you would be able to sell other products.”

Ann Wilson, Keller Williams: “You are kind of born to be a salesperson and it takes a certain personality. It would be fun to own a small boutique.

If you have a gift for gab, you can sell.”

Gloria Adams, TTR Sothebys International Realty: “Yes. It’s all about the basic concepts of customer service and personal relationships 101. You meet people, have patience and understanding with them, and find out what they want.”

Mark Middendorf, Long & Foster: “I definitely think sales is a people business that is transferable. It’s a matter of learning the product. Also, what it boils down to the most is people-skills and being efficient, organized, a good listener, knowing what you are doing, and knowing the next step before it gets there.”

Jack Shafran, Yeonas and Shafran Real Estate: “Servicing people is a skill set that leads to success. If you are selling cars, tires or fish at a fish market, if you are servicing people right, they will come back to you.”

Casey Samson, Samson Properties: “Being a Realtor requires a diverse skill set, and it either clicks or it doesn’t. Realtors are basically hunters and problem-solvers. We hunt for listings, purchasers, homes and solutions.

We combine state-of-the-art tools on the Net with old-school, tried-andtested techniques. We take a huge responsibility when a seller trusts us with their home.”

Rob Ferguson, Re/Max Allegiance: “So much of what we do is relationship-building and fulfilling a need.

If you believe in the product you are selling that fills a need for someone, than you can sell it.”

Steve Wydler, Wydler Brothers Real Estate: “That’s an emphatic yes.

Being in real estate sales requires incredible discipline and motivation, and that would transfer to other sales skills, as well as other types of work.

If you don’t have ambition and selfmotivation, you will not achieve anything.”

Carol Ellickson, TTR Sotheby’s International: “Negotiating the large and little things in everyday life requires that we first communicate – and Continued on Page 22

Inventory Issues Boost ARLINGTON’S Sales Prices Across Va. REALTOR® Despite some easing in inventory constraints in recent weeks, the lack of homes on the market continues to put upward pressure on prices in the Virginia real-estate market.

A total of 12,383 properties went to closing across the commonwealth in May, according to figures reported June 22 by Virginia Realtors, up 5.1 percent from a year before and the highest sales total in 11 months.

May’s year-over-year increase was slightly below the average of the first five months of the year, which saw transactions up 6.3 percent from 2016 figures, but represents “sustained market strengthening,” the real-estate trade group said.

“We are continuing to see high demand across Virginia’s housing market,” said Claire Forcier-Rowe, president of Virginia Realtors. With inventory loosening in May, “eager buyers drove sales up significantly with quick purchases,” she said.

The median sales price of all homes that went to closing during the month across the Old Dominion was $285,000, up nearly 3 percent from a year before – below the year-to-date average of 11.8 percent, but the highest figure since June 2016. (Figures count all three sectors of the homes market: single-family, attached and condominium.)

Adding up the increased sales and

higher prices, the total sales volume for the month of $4.36 billion was up just over 10 percent from May 2016.

The dearth of inventory in some parts of the commonwealth, and perhaps the fear that interest rates might spike in coming months, has led to some purchasers being less finicky than they have in the past. The average number of days between listing and ratified sales contract for homes that went to closing in May was 52, an improvement from the 62 days required for homes that closed in May 2016.

All the trends – more sales, higher prices, fewer average days on the market – are conforming to traditional cyclical Virginia norms, which see the market grow in strength from late winter to mid-summer, then slowly dissipate the energy and move into a slower period from August to January.

In May, the average national interest rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage was 4.01 percent, down slightly from April and the lowest rate of the year, according to Freddie Mac. Going forward, mortgage-interest rates could be impacted by a hike in the Federal Reserve’s key rate announced June 14.

Figures represent most, but not all, homes on the market. All figures are preliminary, and are subject to revision.

Average Square Footage of New Homes Dips a Tad The average and median square footage of new homes constructed across the nation in 2016 declined slightly but remained among the highest ever, according to new federal figures.

The median square footage of new single-family homes completed during the year stood at 2,422, down from 2,467 in 2015, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The average square footage of 2,640 was down from 2,687 a year before.

Each figure represented the thirdhighest square footage since record-keeping began in 1973. When the survey started, the average square footage stood at 1,660.

While there were occasional yearover-year declines, the trajectory toward more interior space moved generally upward, passing 2,000 square feet in 1990 and hitting 2,500 square feet in 2007.

The recession of the late 2000s caused average and median sizes to fall, but the return to larger homes began by 2010.

In 2016, the largest average square footage was reported in the Northeast, at 2,796, followed by the South (2,671), West (2,632) and Midwest (2,474).

The average lot size of new homes was 43,348 square feet, or just over an

acre, down slightly from a year before.

The median lot size of 9,076 square feet also was down slightly. The largest average and median lot sizes were found in the Northeast and Midwest, with the smallest in the West and South.

Figures come from the 2016 Characteristics of new housing, funded by the Census Bureau and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Also from the report: • Ten percent of new single-family homes completed nationally in 2016 had one or two bedrooms; 45 percent had three bedrooms; and 46 percent had three or more bedrooms. The figures were roughly on par with the previous year.

• Thirty-seven percent of new homes completed in 2016 had three or more baths; 60 percent had 2 or 2.5 baths; and 3 percent had 1 or 1.5

baths.

• Ninety-three percent of new homes were completed with air-conditioning systems, unchanged from a year before. Until the mid-1970s, most new homes did not have central air, but the figure accelerated in the 1980s and 1990s.

• Just over half (52 percent) of new homes came without a fireplace, while 43 percent had one and 5 percent had two or more.

Washington Region Is More Affordable Than Some Rising wages and moderating home prices offset a rise in mortgage interest rates to give housing affordability a slight boost in the first quarter of 2017, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/ Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index (HOI) released today.

And there was some good news for Washington-area residents, too, where more homes were affordable to residents with typical incomes than was the case nationally.

“Builders are reporting confidence and solid traffic in many markets across the nation even as they continue to grapple with nagging headwinds,” said NAHB chairman Granger MacDonald, a home builder and developer from Kerrville, Texas. “Regulatory constraints, trade barriers on Canadian softwood lumber, and persistent shortages of lots and labor are slowing the pace of the housing recovery.”

“Ongoing job growth continues to fuel demand for housing, while wage growth is helping to offset the effects of rising mortgage rates and keep home prices affordable,” said NAHB chief economist Robert Dietz. “NAHB anticipates that housing will continue on a gradual, upward path throughout the year.”

In all, 60.3 percent of new and existing homes sold between the begin-

ning of January and end of March were affordable to families earning the U.S. median income of $68,000. This is up from the 59.9 percent of homes sold that were affordable to median-income earners in the fourth quarter.

The national median home price fell to $245,000 in the first quarter from $250,000 in the final quarter of 2016. Meanwhile, average mortgage rates rose nearly half a point from 3.84 percent in the fourth quarter to 4.33 percent in the first quarter.

For the second straight quarter, Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio-Pa., was rated the nation’s most affordable major housing market.

There, 92.7 percent of all new and existing homes sold in the first quarter were affordable to families earning the area’s median income of $54,600.

Meanwhile, Kokomo, Ind., was rated the nation’s most affordable smaller market, with 96.3 percent of homes sold in the first quarter being affordable to families earning the median income of $62,500.

Rounding out the top five affordable major housing markets in respective order were Elgin, Ill.; Scranton-Wilkes Barre-Hazleton, Pa.; Buffalo-Cheektowaga-Niagara Falls, N.Y.; and Syracuse, N.Y. Smaller markets joining Kokomo at the top of the list included Glen Falls, N.Y.; East Stroudsburg, Pa.; Bingham-

ton, N.Y.; and Lansing-East Lansing, Mich.

The Washington region may not be known for low-cost real estate, but higher-than-average incomes help to offset the costs. In the quarterly report, 69.2 percent of homes were financially accessible to typical Washington residents, placing the D.C. region 41st nationally – its best ranking on the survey.

For the 18th consecutive quarter, San Francisco-Redwood City-South San Francisco, Calif., was the nation’s least affordable major housing market. There, just 11.8 percent of homes sold in the first quarter were affordable to families earning the area’s median income of $108,400.

Sales of Existing Homes May Reach Decade High The multi-year stretch of robust job gains along with improving household confidence are expected to guide existing-home sales to a decade high in 2017, but supply and affordability headwinds and modest economic growth are holding back sales and threatening to keep the nation’s low home-ownership rate subdued.

That’s according to speakers at a residential real estate forum at the recent 2017 Realtors Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo.

Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors, presented his 2017 midyear forecast and was joined onstage by Jonathan Spader, senior research associate at the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, and Mark Calabria, chief economist and assistant to Vice President Mike Pence.

Spader’s presentation addressed past and projected movements in the home-ownership rate, and Calabria dove into why reversing weak productivity and the low labor force participation rate are necessary to boost the economy.

The first quarter was the best quarterly existing sales pace in exactly a decade (5.62 million), and Yun expects activity to stay on track and finish around 5.64 million – the best HBM (6.47 SUN GAZETTE AD 1-5-2016f.pdf since 2006 million) and 3.5 per-1

rise if there was simply more inventory.”

Housing construction has been uneven so far this year, but Yun does anticipate starts to jump 8.4 percent to 1.27 million. However, this is still under the 1.5 million new homes needed to make up for the insufficient building in recent years.

New single-family home sales are likely to total 620,000 this year, up 8.4 percent from 2016.

Addressing the nation’s low homeownership rate, Spader said substantial uncertainty exists about its future direction.

Spader cited foreclosure-related housing exits from older adults and delayed buying from younger households as the primary causes in the downward trend since the downturn.

He said the good news is that while there was growth in homeowner households in 2016, an aging population, changes in family type and increasing diversity by race and ethnicity all pose as headwinds going forward. Spader’s 2025 projection puts the home-ownership rate in a range of 61 to 65 percent.

“Stagnant household incomes, rising rental costs, student loan debt and limited supply have all contributed to slower purchasing activity,” said Spader. “Young and minority households’

cent above 2016. With several metro areas seeing hefty price growth, the national median existing-home price is expected to rise around 5 percent this year.

“The housing market has exceeded expectations ever since the election, despite depressed inventory and higher mortgage rates,” said Yun. “The combination of the stock market being at record highs, 16 million new jobs created since 2010, pent-up household formation and rising consumer confidence are giving more households the assurance and ability to purchase a home.”

Although sales are currently running at a decade high, Yun believes the healthy labor market should be generating even more activity. However, listings in the lower- and mid-market price range are scant and selling fast, and home-buyers are discovering they can afford less of what’s on the market based on their income.

“We have been under the 50-year average of single-family housing starts for 10 years now,” said Yun. “Limited lots, labor shortages, tight construction lending and higher lumber costs are impeding the building industry’s ability to produce more single-family homes. There’s little doubt first-time buyer participation would improve 1/5/16the8:40 AM and home-ownership rate would

ability to reach the market will play a big role in how much the actual rate can rise in coming years.”

Right Paint Could Help Bottom Line

(PRNewswire) – A fresh coat of paint in the right color may help sell a home for more money: According to a Zillow analysis, homes with walls painted in shades of blue or light gray may sell for as much as a $5,400 premium.

Zillow’s 2017 Paint Color Analysis looked at more than 32,000 photos from sold homes around the country to see how certain paint colors impacted their sale price on average, when compared to similar homes with white walls.

Homes with blue bathrooms, often found in hues of powder blue or light periwinkle, sold for $5,440 more than expected, the highest sales premium of all colors analyzed. Walls painted in other cool, natural tones like pale gray or oatmeal were also present in topperforming listings.

A home’s exterior color may also have an impact on its sale price.

Homes painted in “greige,” a mix of light gray and beige, sold for $3,496 more than similar homes painted in a medium brown or with tan stucco. For a pop of color, homes with front doors painted in shades of dark navy blue to slate gray sold for $1,514 more.

Some colors may actually deter buyers. Homes with darker, more style-specific walls like terra-cotta dining rooms sold for $2,031 less than expected.

However, a lack of color may have the biggest negative impact as homes with white bathrooms sold for an average of $4,035 below similar homes, the survey suggests.

“Color can be a powerful tool for attracting buyers to a home, especially in listing photos and videos,” says Svenja Gudell, Zillow’s chief economist. “Painting walls in fresh, naturallooking colors, particularly in shades of blue and pale gray not only make a home feel larger, but also are neutral enough to help future buyers envision themselves living in the space.

Incorporating light blue in kitchens and bathrooms may pay off especially well as the color complements white countertops and cabinets, a growing trend in both rooms.”

Selecting the right paint color is one of many factors that may affect why a home sells faster or for more money. Walls in cool neutrals like blue or gray have broad appeal and may be signals that the home is well cared for or has other desirable features.

‘Hidden Costs’ Have an Impact (PRNewswire) – Nationally, U.S. homeowners spend $15,190 on average in extra or hidden costs associated with selling their home, according to a new analysis from Zillow and Thumbtack. Since most (63 percent) of today’s sellers have never sold a home before, some of these costs could come as a surprise.

To help with budgeting, Zillow and Thumbtack calculated several common, but often overlooked, seller expenses including sales taxes and agent commissions, as well as five optional home prep projects.

More than eight out of 10 home sellers make improvements before listing. While some sellers prefer to complete these projects themselves, those who outsource can expect to spend more than $2,650 nationally to cover staging, carpet cleaning, interior painting, lawn care and house cleaning – five of the most popular seller home prep projects. Labor costs vary significantly by region, so sellers in Los Angeles pay an average of $4,000 for the same projects, compared to sellers in Columbus, Ohio, who pay $1,500.

The two largest closing costs are agent commissions and in most states, sales or transfer taxes. Nationally, sellers spend $12,532 for both closing costs on the median home. Since they are percentages of the home’s sale price, sellers in hot coastal markets

Do You Want to Get Organized?

like San Francisco pay $51,520 on the median home, the highest of the metros analyzed. Sellers in Indianapolis pay the least ($8,238) as home values are lower and the state has no transfer tax.

From title insurance to escrow fees, sellers are responsible for a variety of other smaller closing costs. Even though selling a home costs money, most (73 percent) sellers are still satisfied with the transaction.

“One of the biggest regrets sellers have is not starting the process early enough,” says Jeremy Wacksman, Zillow Group’s chief marketing officer.

“For those planning to sell this year, take your time to research all the costs you could be responsible for and how they may affect your profit, or even budget for your next home. Partner with a great agent who can help you understand the nuances in your market – from what taxes or closing costs you should expect, to which home renovation projects can help attract the right buyer.”

“Sellers need to consider these additional, often necessary costs when planning to put their home on the market,” says Lucas Puente, Thumbtack economist. “While it’s clear these costs vary widely, often times the easiest way to ensure a home is fully preN ARLINGTON/WOODBURY HEIGHTS $319,000 pared to be sold is to hire local, skilled professionals to help.”

Property Owners Urged to Heed Fair-Housing Laws BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer If you rent or sell housing, think twice before discriminating against protected groups, enacting rules targeting children and pets, or steering clients to certain neighborhoods, experts advised at a fair-housing forum April 27.

Hurdles still remain, despite passage of the Fair Housing Act 49 years ago, presenters said.

“Equity in housing provides the foundation for aspirations to be achieved,” said Marvin Turner, Washington, D.C., field-office director with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). When access to housing is unfairly limited, it harms people’s ability to find quality jobs, schools and economic opportunity, he said.

“If you’re discriminated against, you remember that,” Turner said. “It has a destabilizing effect.”

The organization had sent 60 testers – half of them black, half white and all claiming to have criminal histories – into the field to see if they would be discriminated against when trying to rent housing. In 47 percent of the cases, white testers received more favorable treatment, she said.

“This is an area of huge concern,” she said.

Housing officials see all kinds of outlandish behavior. In one case in Miami, a landlord improperly required tenants to submit their children’s report cards, Scott said.

Brian McKenzie, the Equal Rights Center’s senior coordinator for fairhousing education, noted that federal law prohibits housing discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, familial and marital status, disability and skin color. Virginia also prohibits discrimination on the basis of “elderliness,” – 55 or older.

If asking about tenants’ criminal histories, landlords should consider convictions only, not arrests, and keep in mind how long ago the offenses occurred, said HUD director Steven Paikin.

People also may not be discriminated against if they have service or emotional-support pets, Paikin said.

Autumn Could Be a Solid Time for Potential Buyers Willing to Hold Off for Now (PRNewswire) – Patience pays off, for home buyers. The best time to buy a home is late summer, when there are the most options and frequent price cuts, according to new data As summer approaches, overall inventory of homes for sale is down 5.3 percent from a year ago, signaling another competitive home shopping season for buyers this year. Even in markets that have seen a recent uptick in the number of homes for sale, inventory is still well below the levels of five years ago.

A new Zillow analysis shows that there are more homes for sale at the end of summer than at any other time of year, giving buyers the greatest selection. In most major metros, August had more for-sale listings than any other month.

In Los Angeles, for example, there were about 8,000 more homes for sale in August than in April. In Seattle, the difference was about 5,000 listings.

At the same time, price cuts are more common as home sellers start to worry about not selling their homes.

Across the country, 15 percent of listings in August have had price reductions. In most large markets, buyers are most likely to find a home with a reduced price tag in either August or September.

The home-shopping process can be stressful for buyers. On average, buyers spend more than four months shopping for a home, and put in at least two offers before buying, according to the 2016 Zillow Group Report on Consumer Housing Trends.

so far may find better luck in the later months of the summer.

“In such a competitive housing market, it’s easy for buyers to get frustrated when they are putting in multiple offers without success,” said Zillow chief economist Dr. Svenja Gudell.

“Buyers who start their home search in the spring may still be looking months later – but for those who can wait it out, the end of summer will bring more favorable conditions. Homes that may have been overpriced earlier in the year are more likely to have a price reduction, and those listings passed over in earlier months may look better with a fresh perspective.”

Spring traditionally kicks off the home shopping season; most new listings hit the market during these months. April in particular had more new listings than any other month in 2016.

However, shopping in spring can be competitive, and these homes are more likely to sell for a premium.

Homes listed in late spring sell faster and for a $1,500 premium on average, according to Zillow’s Best Time to List analysis.

“Patty’s expert staging, photography, and marketing brought us a quick, full-price offer – I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

International Buyers Can Have Impact at High End (PRNewswire) – International buyers of residential real estate in the U.S. don’t have a significant impact on the overall housing market, but they are more influential at the top end of the market, according to the 2017 Q2 Zillow Home Price Expectations Survey.

The quarterly survey, sponsored by Zillow and conducted by Pulsenomics LLC, asked more than 100 housing experts and economists about the impact of international buyers on the U.S. real estate market.

Overall, international buyers have a modest effect on inventory and home values, according to the panelists. At the high end of the market, though, the respondents said international buyers have a major impact on home values.

Since the housing crash, housing affordability has been a significant issue for many Americans. Rapidly in-

rise 3.4 percent in 2017. Now, they expect to see a 4.8 percent increase.

Their forecasts for home price growth in 2018 are also more optimistic now compared to last year.

“International buyers are popular scapegoats for rising real estate prices and shrinking inventory, but domestic factors have had a bigger influence on the housing market, much more so than demand from overseas,” said Zillow chief economist Dr. Svenja Gudell. “Older Millennials are reaching prime home-buying age, increasing demand for housing, but we are still well behind historical norms when it comes to building new homes. The fact that economists and experts are revising their expectations upward for future home value growth is a sign that these trends will continue to exert upward pressure on prices.

Some cities with expensive hous-

creasing rents had the dual effect of financially incentivizing home-ownership and making it harder to save for a down payment.

At the same time, lagging new construction and high negative equity rates have kept inventory low, pushing up home values and making it harder to find an affordable home.

Increased activity from international buyers of U.S. real estate has also fueled concerns about affordability.

Most of the panelists surveyed expect that international buying activity will decrease or stay at the same level in the coming year, signaling that outside influences aren’t likely to be the most significant driver of the U.S. housing market over the next year.

Expectations for overall home price growth are stronger now than they were a year ago. A year ago, panelists predicted that home prices would

ing markets – including Vancouver, Canada, Paris, and Sydney - have introduced policies in attempts to limit international home-buying activity, However, most panelists agreed these measures are unlikely to affect housing affordability, or may even be counterproductive. Only about 20 percent of respondents think these policies are an effective response to improve housing affordability.

“On the heels of last year’s nearly seven percent national home value appreciation rate, the prospect that prices will increase less than five percent overall this year might be dispiriting to some,” said Pulsenomics founder Terry Loebs. “Yet, 4.8 percent is not only well above the historical average annual gain, it’s the most optimistic projection for 2017 that we’ve seen from our expert panel over the past five years.”

New-Home Sales Take Slight Tumble in Latest Report Sales of newly built, single-family homes in April dropped for the first time in 2017, falling 11.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 569,000 units, according to newly released data by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau.

The inventory of new home sales for sale was 268,000 in April, which is a 5.7-month supply at the current sales

months of the year were all upwardly revised, and the March sales pace was the highest since October 2007.

“Despite some slowness this month, total new home sales in 2017 are up more than 11 percent from this time last year and builders are optimistic about future market conditions,” said Granger MacDonald, chairman of the

pace. The median sales price of new houses sold was $309,200.

Regionally, new home sales decreased 4.0 percent in the South, 7.5 percent in the Northeast, 13.1 percent in the Midwest and 26.3 percent in the West, according to the monthly report of the trade group.

– A Staff Report

Median Sales Price Is at a Record Level The median national existinghome price for all housing types in May was $252,800, surpassing June 2016 ($247,600) as the highest ever and marking the 63rd straight month of year-over-year gains, according to the National Association of Realtors.

But that good news for sellers presents a challenge for the market as a whole, said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the real estate trade group.

“Home prices keep chugging along at a pace that is not sustainable in the long run,” Yun said.

“Current demand levels indicate sales should be stronger, but it’s clear some would-be buyers are having to delay or postpone their home search because low supply is leading to worsening affordability conditions.”

Total housing inventory at the end of May rose 2.1 percent to 1.96 million existing homes available for sale, but is still 8.4 percent lower than a year ago (2.14 million) and has fallen year-over-year for 24 consecutive months.

Unsold inventory is at a 4.2month supply at the current sales pace, which is down from 4.7 months a year ago.

Realtors Seeing Robust Interest in Sustainability Growing consumer interest and demand for greener, more sustainable properties is driving a dialogue between Realtors and homebuyers and sellers.

Over half of Realtors find that consumers have interest in real estate sustainability issues and practices, according to a new National Association of Realtors report.

The report, stemming from NAR’s new Sustainability Program, surveyed Realtors about sustainability issues facing consumers in the real estate market and ways Realtors are setting their own goals to reduce energy usage.

“As consumers’ interest in sustainability grows, Realtors understand the necessity of promoting sustainability in their real estate practice, such as marketing energy efficiency in property listings to homebuyers,” said NAR president William Brown, a Realtor from Alamo, Calif., and founder of Investment Properties. “The goal of the NAR Sustainability Program is to provide leadership and strategies on topics of sustainability to benefit members, consumers and communities.”

To meet growing consumer interest, more Multiple Listing Services are incorporating data entry fields to

identify a property’s green features; 43 percent of respondents report their MLS has green data fields, and only 19 percent do not.

Realtors see great value in promoting energy efficiency in listings with seven out of 10 feeling strongly about the benefits in promoting those features to clients.

The survey asked respondents about renewable energy and its impact on the real estate market.

A majority of agents and brokers (80 percent) said that solar panels are available in their market; forty-two percent said solar panels increased the perceived property value.

Twenty-four percent of brokers said that tiny homes were available in their market, compared to 61 percent that reported tiny homes were not yet available.

Seventy percent of members worked with no properties that had green features, leaving a great deal of room for future growth.

The home features that Realtors said clients consider as very or somewhat important include a home’s efficient use of lighting, a smart/connected home, and green community features such as bike lanes and green spaces (37 percent).

Updated Outdoor-Living Experiences Can Pay Off (Statepoint) – Ready to step up your outdoor living experience this season? You’re not alone. Nearly 70 percent of design and build firms report an increased demand for outdoor living space, according to the American Institute of Architects.

When updating your outdoor living areas, focus on additions that stylishly and seamlessly blend your spaces together.

Consider elements that accent your home décor, enhance comfort, create beauty and offer low-maintenance upkeep so you can kick back, relax and enjoy the space.

Here are two ideas for achieving these goals.

Fireplace: Fire features are the most popular outdoor design element, according to the American Society of Landscape Architects. This is understandable; outdoor fireplaces offer privacy, warmth and create a distinct focal point around which to gather when spending time outdoors. Outdoor fireplaces also offer a great return on investment: 90 percent of real estate agents say an outdoor fireplace increases a home’s value, according to a Houzz.com study.

One major consideration to keep in mind is the type of entertaining you want to do. Those who want the convenience of a gas fireplace may wish

These days, it’s possible to include many of the same amenities you would find in a traditional indoor kitchen – from a working faucet and stovetop to even a dishwasher.

If space or budget are limited, think about what features matter most to you and consider working with an architect to plan the most efficient and attractive layout. Architects also can serve as a great resource when it comes to building with materials that

to consider clean, modern lines. Others may be looking for something a bit more nostalgic – like the scent and crackle of smoldering pine to bring back great memories and set the tone for outdoor gatherings.

2016 Home Purchases: Millennials Post Decline, Gen X Rises An improving economy, multiple years of strong job growth and the notable increase in home values in most markets fueled a greater share of purchases from Generation X households over the past year.

This is according to the National Association of Realtors 2017 Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends study, which evaluates the generational differences of recent buyers and sellers.

The survey additionally found that a growing number of Millennials and younger Boomer buyers have children living at home; student debt is common among Gen X and boomer households; more Millennials are buying outside the city; and younger generations are more likely to use a real estate agent.

Much of the spotlight in recent years has focused on the several challenges Millennials are enduring on their journey to homeownership. According to Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, lost in this discussion are the numerous Generation X households who bought their first home, started a family and entered the middle part of their careers only to be rattled by job losses, falling home values and overall economic uncertainty during and after the Great Recession.

This year’s survey reveals that debt and little or no equity in their home slowed many Gen X households from

made up 8 percent.

Younger Boomers increasingly consider adult children when buying: This year’s survey also brought to light how the soaring cost of rent in many areas is likely influencing the decision of middle-aged parents to buy a home with their young adult children in mind.

Younger Boomers were the most likely to purchase a multi-generational home (20 percent; 16 percent in 2016), and the top reason for doing so was that children over 18 years old either moved back home or never left (30 percent; 27 percent in 2016).

“The job market is very healthy for young adults with a college education, but repaying student debt and dealing with ever-increasing rents on an entry-level salary are forcing many to either shack-up with several roommates or move back home,” said Yun. “This growing trend of delayed household formation is one of the main contributors to the nation’s low homeownership rate.”

Student debt is not just a Millennial problem: Debt, particularly from student loans, appears to be a portion of the household budget of buyers in every generation.

While Millennials were the most likely to have student debt (46 percent), their typical balance ($25,000) was lower than Gen X buyers ($30,000).

buying sooner. Recent Gen X buyers delayed buying longer than Millennials because of debt, were the most likely generation to have previously sold a distressed property and were the generation most likely to want to sell earlier but couldn’t because their home was worth less than their mortgage. Furthermore, Gen X buyers indicated they had the most student loan debt ($30,000).

“Gen X sellers’ median tenure in their previous home was 10 years, which puts many of them selling a property they bought right around the time home values were on the precipice of declining,” said Yun. “Fortunately, the much stronger job market and 41 percent cumulative rise in home prices since 2011 have helped a growing number build enough equity to finally sell and trade up to a larger home. More Gen X sellers are expected this year and are definitely needed to ease the inventory shortages in much of the country.”

The uptick in purchases from Gen X buyers this year (28 percent) was the highest since 2014 and up from 26 percent in 2016. Millennials were the largest group of recent buyers for the fourth consecutive year (34 percent), but their overall share was down slightly from a year ago (35 percent). Baby Boomers were 30 percent of buyers, and the Silent Generation

A combined 16 percent of younger and older boomer buyers also had student debt, with a median balance of over $10,000 for each group.

Among the share of buyers who said saving for a down payment was the most difficult task, Millennials were most likely to cite student loans as the debt that delayed saving (55 percent), followed by Gen X (29 percent) and younger boomers (9 percent).

“Repaying student debt also appears to be slowing some current homeowners who went to graduate school and now can no longer afford to sell and trade up because of their loans,” added Yun. More Millennials moving to the suburbs . . . with their kids: Similar to previous years, roughly two-thirds of Millennial buyers are married. One aspect of their household that has changed is the number of children in them.

In this year’s survey, 49 percent of Millennial buyers had at least one child, which is up from 45 percent last year and 43 percent two years ago.

With more kids in tow, the need for more space at an affordable price is increasingly pushing Millennial buyers outside the city. Only 15 percent of Millennial buyers bought in an urban area, which is down from 17 percent last year and 21 percent two years ago.

Realtor Q&A: Are Good Sales Skills Transferable?

Continued from Page 4 continue to sharpen our communication skills that are so important as the first step in any negotiation. Yet, we must always be mindful that the first rule of negotiation is to work on and protect our relationships with others.

These skills are transferable to other sales fields.”

Carol Temple, Coldwell Banker: “The ability to anticipate and work defensively for your client is a trait that top-performing Realtors should possess. A second important skill is a heightened ability to manage an overload of details. A third is the ability to defuse emotionally charged situations. All of these should serve a salesperson well, regardless of what they are selling. The secret sauce, though, is passion about what you are doing.

Truth is that I would not be terribly passionate about selling printer toner.

Whether you opt to read the Sun Gazette coverage in print or online, you’re guaranteed to have the most informed local news staff in the region gathering information for you. Whether it’s government, schools, sports, crime, real estate or any other topic, the Sun Gazette is on top of the game.

It would show and I would get fired.”

Diane Lewis, Washington Fine Properties: “A background in real-estate sales is a great background for any sales position. It prepares you for long hours, a need for good time-management, attention to details and, most importantly, care and compassion to your clients.”

Joan Stansfield, Keller Williams: “Stripped down, sales skills are the same no matter the industry. Consistent service and communications based on relationship skills has been critical to my success. These people and service skills would transition well to positions like orchestrating and serving people and events where there are big emotions and lots of varying people with -different personalities and goals.”

Natalie Roy, Keller Williams: “Selling real estate is a great way to build and improve sales skills in any field.

These skills include being customerfocused, tracking the latest trends, adapting to a fast-paced environment, staying updated on the latest technologies and sales techniques and, of course, the ever important multi-tasking. Even in the 21st century with the wide range of technology available, the most effective sales technique is person-to-person interaction.”

Barbara Lewis, Washington Fine Properties: “Actually, everyone is in sales. Doctors sell themselves to patients and want them to return, lawyers sell themselves to attract clients, stores have employees greet customers so they will want to do business in the store, we are all in sales. Real estate is unique in that agents are independent contractors and therefore have a lot of flexibility in running their own businesses. Long hours, compassion and attention to details are what it takes to succeed in every profession.”

Valerie Grange, McWilliams Ballard condo resales division: “Both an art and a science, success in any form of sales simply requires the perfect balance of people skills and the practical application of meeting a client’s top needs, goals and desires. Especially in real estate, if you can help someone with the most important purchase in their lives, you can most definitely assist them with any other endeavor.”

Timur Loynap, McWilliams Ballard condo resales division: “I absolutely believe that the skill set that one obtains as a real estate agent is transferable. The bedrock of a successful real estate career is the ability to build relationships and in the process earn the trust, confidence and loyalty of clients/customers. Successful sales people must be able to articulate and present themselves and their product thoughtfully, competently and compellingly.”

Victorious Start For Flying Fish

Teeing Off

A Fun and Loud 7 Weeks of The Summer Swim Season The big summer splash has begun.

The various summertime swimming leagues began their 2017 campaigns in full this past Saturday morning, led by the 102-team Northern Virginia Swimming League, which includes four Arlington pools. The regular seasons lasts for just five Saturdays in a row, followed by divisional and allstar competitions.

Summer Campaign Begins in Arlington A Staff Report

The Overlee Flying Fish and Donaldson Run Thunderbolts were the two from ArSWIMMING winners lington on June 24 in the opening week of the Northern Virginia Swimming League.

In Division 1, Overlee defeated the host Highlands Whomping Turtles of McLean, 229-191. In Division 4, host Donaldson Run, which finished 0-5 last season in Division 2, downed Poplar Tree of Chantilly, 246-174.

Overlee won six relays.

On Saturday, July 1, Overlee is away again at the McLean Marlins for a 9 a.m. meet.

Tournament Titles Give Sage a Top Ranking The 12-under Arlington Sage girls travel fastpitch softball squad won the recent Queen of Diamonds Tournament.

Delaney Mosley raced home from third base on a wild pitch and slid unthe catcher’s tag SOFTBALL der to give the winning Sage a 3-2 victory in the tourney championship game. Abby Kohan pitched all eight innings to get the victory. Making good defensive plays behind her were Eva Butler, Emily Reagan and Kara Bremser.

The Sage finished 6-0 in the tournament.

ting in the tourney with a .667 average, and she and seven RBI. Sasa Groome also hit over .400 and drove in seven runs. Molly Kaufman hit .400 and scored eight runs. Reagan stole five bas-

es, had five RBI and scored six times.

Butler provided clutch RBI hits during the competition.

On the mound, Lauren Siesky and Kohan combined for a no-hitter in one of the victories and recorded all six wins.

Megan McMaster stopped a key rally in the semifinal victory with a diving catch, and Livy Fried did the same with a backhand stab at second.

Doug Kaufman, Dave Kohan and Kevin Mosley coach the team.

The Sage were ranked No. 1 in the Virginia Power Rankings for the 12-under age division, and will head to nationals in July.

It is among the shortest sports seasons that exist – lasting seven weeks, including the postseason.

It would be hard for any type of sports league to match the fun and excitement generated during the outdoor summer swim season. Yes, the meets are competitive.

Loud cheering, colorful body paint, temporary tattoos and some of the most bizarre and imaginative outfits found anywhere are worn by coaches and team members.

Pre-meet pep rallies are held once a week, sometimes twice.

Social media is cluttered with remarks, predictions, info, some trash talk and photos.

Arlington’s four NVSL teams are the Arlington Forest Tigers, Dominion Hills Warriors, Donaldson Run Thunderbolts and the mighty Overlee Flying Fish of Division 1.

One of the biggest league-wide questions about the 2017 season is whether Overlee, already 1-0, be able to reclaim the Division 1 championship.

The Fish were second to McLean’s Chesterbrook in 2016, after winning the crown the previous season.

There are four more Arlington teams in two other summer organizations. The Colonial Swimming League has the Arlington Knights of Columbus Holy Mackerels and the Fort Myer Squids. Army Navy and Washington Golf and Country Club compete in the Country Club Swimming and Diving Association League.

For years, all eight teams have been highly competitive during the big summer splash seasons.
