Is Buying A Home in Charlottesville, VA a Good Investment?

To consider a home a good investment, you need to know what you plan to do with it, as well as where to buy it. In Charlottesville, VA, buying a home can be a good investment. With Charlottesville country homes, there often is open land which may increase in value along with the house itself. Mark Twain is quoted as saying “buy land, they aren’t making more of it”. The fact that there is a finite amount of land, makes these homes a great asset if you need a smart place to put your money.

There are many reasons why you might be buying a home in Charlottesville, VA. You might want a home to live in with your family, or a retirement house. Others might be looking for a place with space to start a farm or raise horses. Charlottesville horse properties are always in demand. Yet, some people want to buy a home only as an investment. They may either be aiming to make a profit in the short-term, or years in the future.

Luckily, there are multiple ways to make money off of a home. Unlike how it might seem, investing in a home isn’t as easy as buying it and selling it years later. While value tends to be secure in a home, it does not necessarily increase. If you know what you are doing, investing in a Charlottesville, VA home will be easy. This article is here to tell you more on investing in Central Virginia country properties.

How to Make a Home a Good Investment in Charlottesville, VA

Real estate is a very complex domain. Ensuring that a home is a good investment requires more than just buying and selling. It requires patience, energy, time, and sometimes more money. Regardless of this, if you put in the effort, it’s possible to reap returns on a property. Here are some of the main ways to invest in a home in Charlottesville, VA.

1.Buying to sell later. The many Charlottesville equestrian estates in the area are perfect for investment. The open land offers the possibility for a variety of agricultural ventures.  This could be a farm for horses, a vineyard, or a sustainable family farm, and you can add barns and agricultural buildings. Many of our local horse farms are perfect for an equestrian business.  Owners can also choose to leave the property vacant, but the potential is still there. As a result of this, holding on to a property and selling it in a few years in a strong economy is likely to bring profit. With this form of investment, accumulating a profit will take several years. One major advantage is that the seller can live in the home during this period. As long as the house is well-maintained and the land is cared for, then selling value will likely stay intact.

2.Buying a rental property. In 2017, there were 43 million rental households in the United States. At any time, in Charlottesville, there will never be a dearth of potential tenants, particularly due to the University of Virginia and the University of Virginia Hospital. Many people cannot afford a home of their own, so they must rent one. For others, they see renting as a short-term alternative to buying a house. Regardless of the reason, it remains true that renters are almost always available for a well-located house. By buying rental property in Charlottesville, VA, it is possible to get consistent returns. There are two ways to approach purchasing a rental home in Charlottesville, VA:

  • Leave the mortgage to the tenants. By buying the house with a mortgage, you are in debt to the lender. Apart from the usual 30% paid upfront, you won’t have to pull anything else out of your wallet. This means that without much monetary commitment, your tenants will pay every month. Of course, most of their rent will go towards paying the mortgage. But, you can always ensure that there is a nice profit on top of the rent for you.

  • Pay off the house in full. This option is a bit more limited, as not everyone will be able to do this. When the house is paid off in full, there is more safety for the homeowner. The house is theirs, and there is no risk of foreclosure if tenants default on payment. Yet, it will take years for them to recoup the value of their investment. This option is better suited for individuals who don’t mind the long-term investment.

3.Buying a property to flip. If you ever find a good deal on a Charlottesville, VA home that needs extensive repairs, go for it. These kinds of properties are perfect for flipping, particularly when the majority of the repairs are cosmetic and not structural. When a seller knows that the home is in a state of disrepair or neglect, the value of the house gets discounted.

By purchasing the home and making repairs, it can often be sold at a significant profit. The house does not have to be in a bad state either. A house that is old or outdated can also get flipped. Such a house will likely get sold at a lower price due to its age. By renovating the structure to a more modern standard, you can add to the asking price. Flipping requires effort, time, and money, but can be profitable in the short-term, particularly if you are able to make some of the renovations yourself and do not mind some “sweat equity”.

How to Get the Best Value out of Your Investment Property

The goal of an investment is to reap a profit. The expectation is that you will try your best to maximize the profit that you get. With any luck and a few simple things in mind, you won’t leave money on the table.

  • Keep the property well-maintained. When you neglect a home, it begins to show. Few people want to buy a house that looks like it is falling apart. It is important to keep not only the building itself looking good but the land around it as well. Neglected land is not attractive to a potential buyer.  Curb appeal matters.

  • Upgrade if needed. This applies to any path of investment chosen for your Charlottesville, VA, house. By making sure the house is up to date, you will earn more money from outright selling or rentals. Replace outdated utilities like pipes and electricals. Also, consider upgrades for energy efficiency or towards achieving a smart home. Be careful about what you upgrade, though. Not everything will add significant value.

  • Get an expert realtor. Many people want to keep all the profits to themselves, so they work alone. This can be stressful, time-consuming, and may not be worth the money ‘saved’. By getting a realtor, everything moves more smoothly. This applies to sales of property and finding renters. They can also assist you with a location-specific valuation that gets you the best price.

Charlottesville country properties are good choices for investment. To ensure you’re getting the best value you can, it is essential to work with a realtor who knows the area. For Charlottesville, VA, this is someone like Pam Dent, REALTOR.

If you’re on the lookout for investment properties in Charlottesville, you’ve come to the right place. Call Pam Dent, REALTOR, at 434-960-0161 to get started on a home.

Autumn 2020 Real Estate Forecast

It continues to be an interesting year, and today’s real estate market is no different.   In Central Virginia, we are seeing the spring market in the fall, with strong sales continuing due to pent up demand.   At the current purchase rate, there is about a 3 month’s supply of inventory in the Charlottesville area.   A 6 months supply is considered a Balanced market and below that number is a Seller’s market.   As you can see, we are in a strong seller’s market.

LOCAL HOUSING TRENDS

The move to the suburbs is real and in our Charlottesville area the counties of Nelson, Louisa and Buckingham saw an increased number of sales in July of 2020 as compared to July 2019.   As a result of the pandemic, we saw a shift of more people moving out of cities across the country.   Many people are working from home and even as we recover, many will continue to work from home. This shift also has changed how we live in our homes.  New home sizes had been falling for the past 4-5 years, but we are now seeing an increase in home size.

NATIONAL HOUSING TRENDS

I had the opportunity to listen to Dr Robert Dietz, economist for The National Association of Home Builders, speak last week.   According to Dr Dietz, the latest prediction is calling for a 2-year period for economic recovery, and housing is leading this recovery with 16% of GDP.

FINANCING AND PRICING

We are also seeing gains for mortgage purchase applications.   However, increased Refinance activity due to the low interest rates helps keep inventory low as more people are staying in their homes and remodeling instead of selling.   Due to the low inventory and high demand, we are seeing prices up by about 3%.

NEW CONSTRUCTION IMPACT

Since there is a shortage of resale homes coming onto the market, it will be necessary to have a strong new construction industry.   However, there are several headwinds for new construction.   Until there is a vaccine or treatment, there is the risk of renewed lockdowns.   There continues to be a shortage of skilled construction workers, and although we are seeing an increase in trade schools, training takes time.   There has been a 170% increase in lumber prices since April.   This adds about $16,000-$20,000 to a new build.

GLOBAL IMPACT ON NEW CONSTRUCTION

New home prices and the cost of remodeling will gradually go up as builders go through the current stock of lumber.   Since we get about 1/3 of our lumber from Canada, we will want to watch what happens with the tariff.   Another impact on new construction, is the fact that the global supply chain has been disrupted because of Covid and the natural disasters.   For new construction, you can expect higher prices and delays.

As you can see, there is cause for optimism, but one thing that we have learned this year is that things can change quickly.

Charlottesville Horse Farms | Market Report for January 2018

Come and discover what sets this city apart!

Charlottesville is an attractive city in west Central Virginia situated within the upper Piedmont Plateau, at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and at the headwaters of the Rivanna River. It is approximately 100 miles southwest of Washington D.C. and 70 miles northwest of Richmond, Virginia.

The City of Charlottesville has consistently made the list of best places to live for over a decade.

It has become a favorite home for young professionals, families, and retired people. Tourists often flock to Charlottesville for beer tours, ballooning, and hiking. People are drawn to the city’s college-town vibe, great restaurant scene, vineyards, history, and cultural life.

Charlottesville is a small city surrounded by beautiful country and comes with all the things you’d want from a big city.

Charlottesville’s downtown is Albemarle County’s center of business. The area is home to the Downtown Mall, one of the longest outdoor pedestrian malls in the entire nation. The downtown mall has shops, restaurants, bookstores, boutiques, music venues, and even a speakeasy tucked away in an unmarked alley.

A few blocks from the Downtown Mall is the Court Square. Court Square, just a few blocks from the Downtown Mall, is the original center of Charlottesville and several of the historic buildings there date back to the city’s founding in 1762.

Charlottesville is also home to the University of Virginia, a public research university and the flagship for the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is a community of undergraduate, medical, business, and law students as well as the faculty and staff.

The city has a spectacular four-season climate, superb arts and recreational activities, and beautiful places to explore.

Experience a lively area ripe with vineyards and breweries, as well as shops, restaurants and parks. In summer, you’ll enjoy hiking, kayaking, and horseback riding. In winter, you can go skiing and snow-tubing.

There are also many rivers and a few lakes which provide the perfect setting for aquatic pursuits, such as swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and tubing. The lovely parks offer wonderful settings for sports, picnics, relaxation, and adventure.

If you want to take your adventure to the sky, you can try a hot air balloon or you can also para-glide over the scenic countryside.

You will love its temperate climate, comprehensive public health facilities, good food, and sophisticated cultural resources. In addition, it’s just two hours from Washington DC.

Golfers will surely love the spectacular sceneries and championship courses designed by some of the industry’s top architects.

You will be comfortable and welcomed in the Charlottesville horse community!

Charlottesville is rich in equestrian history. There are many horse farms and equestrian properties throughout Charlottesville. They are popular property choices because of the area’s gently rolling hills, lush green pastures, and the proximity to horse shows and fox hunting.  Horses graze in open pastures with plenty of grass.

There are also hundreds of miles of beautiful, scenic trails, designed specifically for horseback riding.

James River State Park, nestled in the foothills of the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains, offers 20 miles of many different types of riding trails. If you prefer wooded riding along wooded trails, pay a visit to the George Washington National Forest.
