In February, Patricia Stack, a broker withWeichert Realtors, held an open house for asingle-family home for sale in Vienna justlisted for $739,000. Within three hours, more

than 70 people toured the home.“The home went under contract sub-

stantially above list price, Stack said.“2013 has started with a bang in North-ern Virginia real estate. In fact, it ap-pears to be a market more like 2005-2006 than any-thing we’ve seen since, Stack said.

“Buyers seem finally to be realizing that prices havebottomed out and the current combination of lowprices and historically low interest rates will likelynot be repeated in our lifetimes, Stack said.

Alison Sherman, an agent with Keller-Williams inMcLean, is seeing the same trend. In the spring, shesold a home in Vienna in three days with multipleoffers.

The 5-bedroom Colonial, built in 1976 on FerolDrive, listed for just under $1 million, and sold$132,000 above list price.

“It’s a great time to sell your home. Statistics showthe average sales price is up and the average dayson market are down, Sherman said.

Buoyed by low mortgage rates, low regional un-employment, growth in the number of householdsand rising consumer confidence, the residential real-estate market in Fairfax County and the rest of North-ern Virginia has rebounded in a big way.

Unlike the last five years, demand is up and sup-ply is down. In fact, in some particularly desirableneighborhoods, the transition from a buyer’s marketto a seller’s market is all but complete.

Call it the new “reality in realty.“There is an oversupply of buyers and less inven-

tory right now in the market, said Anil Khanna, areal estate broker with Champion Homes Realty in

Chantilly. “I have seen it to be a seller’smarket based on the number of offers Ihave seen with the properties that I havebid on for buyers.

Khanna added that low interest ratesare beginning to rise, and that has created a sense ofurgency with buyers.

According to Freddie Mac, the rate for a 30-year,conventional, fixed-rate mortgage rose to 3.54 per-cent in May from 3.45 percent in April.

“Many buyers are trying to purchase something thisyear rather than next, due to the anticipated increasein interest rates, Khanna said.

Despite some similarities to the boom period inhousing nearly a decade ago, market conditions thatled to the housing bust are vastly different, accord-ing to national housing experts.

“The boom period was marked by easy credit andoverbuilding, but today we have tight mortgagecredit and widespread shortages of homes for sale,

The Tonicsperform June23 as part ofthe SummerConcertSeries atSummer onthe Green.

Vienna Community Gathers on The Town GreenBy Caroline Burr

The Connection

A summer tradition for many Vienna residents,The Concert Series at the Town Green, 144Maple Ave. E., hosts a variety of free family-

friendly concerts most Friday and Sunday nights. “Wecome here every year,” said June Terry of Vienna.“It’s nice for the children, they can come run around.”Concerts begin at 6:30 p.m. and generally run onehour. The series features a wide range of music genresfrom rock to blues. The Tonics, a four-piece rock band,performed Sunday, June 23, and played a mix of cov-ers of songs from “Soak Up The Sun” to “I Heard itThrough the Grapevine.”

In the heart of Vienna, the Town Green’s 2.25 acresof land is open to all and features a fountain, formallawn and colorful landscaping. Larry of Vienna saidhis favorite thing about the Concert Series, is that“it’s here. We come and see the ones on Friday andit’s nice because it’s here.” The free concerts bring

families to the outdoors with ample room for pic-nics. Blankets and chairs are encouraged for seat-ing. The Summer on the Green Concerts are madepossible by the many community members and localorganizations who donate money or sponsor the con-certs. While many families can be seen on the greeneating dinner and watching the concert, other fami-lies stop by on their bikes for a quick break with theirfriends and family. Stephanie and Hugo of Viennabiked to The Town Green Sunday evening with theirthree children and as Hugo Jr. announced his excite-ment for “all the concerts!” his sister Rosalia notedthat the surrounding

area is full of “nifty shops and restaurants.” Theiryounger sister Emily added, “It’s a nice place for thewhole community to get together.” The lawn becamemore and more crowded as the evening continued,and while families sat with their picnics and blan-kets, Anthony of Vienna said, “The music, theweatherÉ it’s chill.”

Careful While GoingFaster

If you have driven on the new 495 ExpressLanes, you might wonder if the people whodecided to raise the speed limit to 65 havedriven on them. At the current prices, the Ex-press Lanes are appealing whenever you re-ally need to get somewhere and you havedoubts about the flow of traffic.

But the first few times you drive on the Ex-press Lanes, they are confusing. WhichTysons’ exit do I take for the Ritz Carlton?Will it be on the left or the right? When I getoff, will I have to deal with a stop light, astop sign or a merge? What on earth is the

driver next to me doing?The Express Lanes are not attracting as many

drivers as predicted, so now there is the addedincentive of being able to go faster in thoselanes than on the rest of the Beltway wherethe speed limit is 55 even if there isn’t backedup traffic on the other lanes.

Changes July 1Many actions of the 2013 General Assembly

go into effect July 1.Here are three things to know that kick in

July 1:❖ Sales tax increases to 6 percent in North-

ern Virginia to help pay for transportation.❖ Texting while driving becomes a primary

offense, meaning that you can be pulled overif an officer sees you using your phone or thinksyou are texting because you are looking down.

❖ Mandatory minimum sentence of one yearin jail for those repeatedly convicted of driv-ing (or boating) under the influence. (Repeat-edly in this case means the third time.)

Demand Drives Northern Virginia MarketReal Estate Focus

said Gary Thomas, president of the Na-tional Association of Realtors.

“The issue now is pent-up demand andstrong growth in the number of households,with buyer traffic 29 percent above a yearago, Thomas said.

Lawrence Yun, chief economist for theNational Association of Realtors, said ex-isting-home sales are at the highest levelsince November 2009, when the marketjumped to 5.44 million as buyers took ad-vantage of tax stimulus.

Sales have stayed above year-ago levelsfor 23 months, while the national medianprice shows 15 consecutive months of year-over-year increases.

“The housing numbers are overwhelm-ingly positive, especially in markets such asNorthern Virginia, where employment isstrong, Yun said.

New ConstructionKey Indicator ofHousing Rebound

Adding to the good news about the hous-ing market is the increasing number of infilldevelopments and new construction, “hous-ing starts," in Fairfax County. According toreal estate economists, housing starts areone of the leading predictors of overall eco-nomic stability and growth.

A June 6 report released by Metrostudy,a national housing data and consulting firm,reports that housing starts are up sharplyin Fairfax County: This year, there were 386starts in the first quarter of 2013 comparedto 143 in the in the first quarter of 2012, a170 percent increase.

In addition to housing starts, almost ev-ery other housing indicator has trended upfrom May 2012 to May 2013 in FairfaxCounty, according to Real Estate BuildingIntelligence (RBI)—a company that ana-lyzes market trends and statistics from theMultiple Listing Service.

In Fairfax County in the past year:❖ The total volume of homes sold jumped

32 percent, from $729 million to more than$950 million.

❖ The average price for a home increasednearly 10 percent, from $469,000 to nearly$550,000.

❖Average days on market dropped a steep30 percent from 39 days to 27 days.

❖ New “under contracts jumped 31.56percent, from 450 to 592.

“Buy Land. TheyAren’t MakingAnymore.

This famous quote could not be more aptfor Fairfax County.

In the past decade, while new housingdevelopments were being built in PrinceWilliam and Loudoun counties, FairfaxCounty was pretty much built out. If buy-

adage that in real estate it’s all about ‘loca-tion, location, location,’ as it’s tough to finda better Northern Virginia location than thecharming and convenient town of Oakton,said Lauri Chastain, vice president of mar-keting for Stanley Martin.

Within weeks of news about the newOakton East, there were more than 300people on the “wait list for the homes thatrange in price from $600,000 to nearly$800,000.

Targeting empty-nesters who are lookingfor less square footage and less yard, butlarger than the typical townhome, OaktonEast offers 3,700-3,800 square feet of fin-ished living space, a two-car garage andgourmet kitchens.

The homes “look and feel like single fam-ily homes—minus the yard work, Chastainsaid.

“Oakton is one of the premiere areas forbrand new construction. Buyers prefer newhomes over resale, but they are not easy tofind, Realtor Pat Stack said.

MetroWest in Fairfax, a Pulte develop-ment, is one of the largest luxurytownhome, condominium and apartmentcommunities in Fairfax County, with a totalof 2,248 residential units slated for devel-opment on 56 acres near the Vienna/FairfaxMetro.

In addition, plans call for 300,000-plussquare feet of office space and 125,000square feet of retail, service, institutionaland governmental space. MetroWest willalso feature community parks, courtyards,a rec center and at least 30 percent will bepreserved as green space. Sales of the$600,000 and up homes have been brisk.

While townhomes, condos and apart-ments are typical for infill developments—both because of their small footprint andthe higher price per square foot builders cancharge—there are several new single-fam-ily infill developments in the county.

Local developer John Sekas has createdOakcrest Farms, located off Hunter MillRoad near Vale Road, a development ofseven high-end single-family homes sellingfor more than $1.5 million with at least5,000 square feet.

The development is embedded in theoriginal Oakcrest Farms community, whichhas 54 colonial-style homes built in the1980s. Construction began last year, andalready four of the seven homes are sold.

Grant Johnson, a real estate broker forSekas, said he has seen two types of buyersfor the homes, which feature gourmet kitch-ens, stone fireplaces and two-story familyrooms, and optional media rooms.

“We have transfers, who are coming herefor the high-paying tech jobs, and buyerswho live in the area who want to move up,Johnson said. “This is an attractive location.The schools are great, we’re near Wolf Trapand Tysons, and people like it here and don’twant to leave.

Builders Are Optimistic“Builders, I think they are as clued into

ers wanted a newly-built home, they hadto tear down an old one.

While land is still at a premium in FairfaxCounty, new infill developments have beenspringing up in unlikely areas such asVienna, Oakton,Burke and the Cityof Fairfax.

“Demand forhousing is up, andso are develop-ment applications,said SupervisorJohn Cook (R-Braddock), whonoticed the trendlast year andformed a land usedevelopment advi-sory committee in his district in responseto the rise in applications.

“Fairfax County is pretty much ‘built out’and infill projects are more challenging toexecute, Cook said.

Any existing pockets of land are small,and homes are often shoehorned into tight

spaces, and sometimes squeezed into exist-ing neighborhoods. Storm water, setback,density, parking and other zoning issuesbecome more challenging for builders.

“So, we are seeing more going on, butthey are usuallyvery difficultprojects, Cooksaid.

Difficult, yes, butnot impossible.The persistent de-mand for brandnew housing,coupled with buy-ers willing tospend, has spurredhigh-end builderssuch as Pulte and

Stanley Martin to create luxury townhomesand condominiums project throughout thecounty.

In January, Stanley Martin Homes an-nounced the opening of 35 luxurytownhomes in Oakton.

“Stanley Martin is reaffirming the old

the market as the rest of us. There is moreconfidence in the economy locally than we’veseen in the past several years, said Stack.

A gauge of confidence among home buildersjumped in June, hitting the highest level since2006, according to data released June 17.

The National Association of Home Build-ers/Wells Fargo housing-market index rose to52 in June—the first time the index hasreached above a key reading of 50 since2006—from 44 in May. Readings above 50signal that builders, generally, are optimisticabout sales trends.

“Builders are seeing better market condi-tions as demand for new homes increases,said Rick Judson, NAHB’s chairman in thenews release. “With the low inventory of ex-isting homes, an increasing number of buy-ers are gravitating toward new homes.

That confidence doesn’t surprise GeraldGordon, president and CEO of the FairfaxCounty Economic Development Authority(FCEDA).

“The economic base of Fairfax County hasbeen sufficiently diversified over the years thatdeclining revenues in federal contracting willnot be devastating to the economy as a whole,Gordon said. “Corporate additions to FairfaxCounty in recent years give us balance.

Going Beyond LimitsSinger-songwriter Luke Brindley releases two newalbums at Jammin Java.

By Matthew Auker

The Connection

Singer-songwriter Luke Brindley held hisdouble-album release party at Jammin Javain Vienna on Friday, June 21. Brindley, who

resides in Reston, performed music for friends andlocal fans off of the two albums he is simulta-neously releasing at the restaurant and musicvenue, which he co-owns with his brothers.The albums, titled “Our Year I & II,” are the resultof an ambitious project that Brindley has been un-dertaking for the past several months in which herecords and releases a new song each week. Whilehe admits that the exercise has been extremelychallenging, it has been a uniquely rewarding ex-perience for Brindley, who has toured nationallyfor years. “It’s been a real challenge,” he explains,“Sometimes I’m convinced I’ll never finish the songbut I have to just push through and do it. I liken itto the ‘growing edge’ they refer to in yoga andother physical exercise—that point where youreach your limit and then go past it is where youreally start to grow and get stronger.”Apart from owning Jammin Java, Brindley hasstrong ties to Northern Virginia. He lived in Restonuntil third grade—his father started Reston Pres-byterian Church in the 1980’s before moving toNew Jersey. In 2001 he moved back to Reston torun Jammin Java, where he has lived ever since.

“I never imagined I’d end up back here,” he says.“I got married in college and started a family soonafter and Jammin Java seemed like a cool ‘dayjob’ to work with my brothers, support my familyand still allow me to do music. It turned into a lotmore than that.”

Brindley has accrued a significant local fanbasewith his music, a fact he attributes in part to own-

ing the successful club; “I think it helps that mybrothers and I are musicians and music lovers,and not just business people or club owners.

“It has been a real privilege to have the club asa ‘home base’ and to be a part of the music com-munity in the area and among the touring musi-cians passing through.”

Opening for Brindley was Anthony Da Costa.“Our Year I & II” can be purchased on iTunes.
