Old Trail Village is the focus of a report by local NBC29 reporter Henry Graff.  Despite local and national trends reflecting a sluggish real estate market, Old Trail Village is the top-selling community for new construction in the entire Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors (CAAR) Multiple Listing Service.

With 51 sales so far this year and a gross sales volume of over $20 million, Old Trail Village continues to thrive as buyers seek community, amenities within walking distance, and quality construction.

Residential Sales in Old Trail Village remain strong through the Second Quarter of 2010, ending the period with a total of 41 sales since the start of the new year.  Leading the sales are new home builders Craig Builders and Piedmont Realty and Construction. New additions to the Old Trail Builders Guild, Summit Custom Homes and Southern Development have also seen keen interest in their new products, with presales generated by a favorable response to their new models.

Resale rates have also improved, with average cumulative days on the market (CDOM) reducing through the second quarter to just 105. Rentals also remain strong, as many buyers of new construction prefer to move to Old Trail Village while construction is underway on their new home. Apartments in the Old Trail Village Center are fully leased with a waiting list, and the town homes available for rent in the Ballard Field area are similarly continuously occupied.

Due to increased demand for new home sites, the Developer has released additional inventory in the Creekside neighborhood. Both Ballard Field and Upper Ballard areas are completely sold out from the Developer. Adjacent to Ballard Field, West End Square has a few remaining home sites, as does Carriage Park.

Old Trail Village continues to produce consistent sales through the typically busy spring and into the second quarter of 2010.  As of 2 June 2010, there are 34 residential units under contract or sold within the community since 1 January 2010.  Land sales continue to support the new construction market; of the 34 residential sales, 27 are for new construction.  In addition to the sales of new homes listed in the MLS as under contract or sold, sales of an additional 9 home sites have been entered into the MLS, with more on the way.

Of note, Beights Corporation, developer of Old Trail Village, sold its remaining two home sites in the Upper Ballard section of the community.  Of the available lots in Ballard Field as of 1 January 2010, only 1 remains available for purchase from the developer.  Home sales in West End Square are continuing at a brisk pace with new home products under construction from several members of the Old Trail Builders Guild.

Attention is turning now to the Creekside neighborhood, which offers residential products beginning in the $500,000’s.  Also upcoming are the home sites in the newest phase of Old Trail Village, Village Commons.  Site work is underway on this section, located south and east of the Old Trail Village Center.  Village Commons will incorporate single-family detached homes, town homes, and an apartment building.  Residential products will be available starting in the low $200,000s.

Beights Corporation, developer of Old Trail Village, is pleased to announce that, as of this week, the total residential home sales thus far in 2010 has matched the total home sales from 2009.  2009 home sales were 29% greater than in 2008.  Additional sales of homesites are on-pace to exceed last year’s number as well (a 125% increase over 2008).  The residential sales figure includes new homes as well as existing residences, reflecting a range of styles and price points and a strong market for our current home owners.

“Our builders are working as fast as they can to satisfy demand, bringing new home products to Old Trail Village.  It appears that the market has really recovered, as people choosing new construction are experiencing steady sales of their former homes, making the process of buying a new residence easier than over the past two years,” said Justin Beights, President.

Home sales in Old Trail Village have been bolstered by the addition of a new townhome product offered by Craig Builders.  The units, located next to the Old Trail Swim Club on Old Trail Drive, start at $239,000 and offer the high-quality finishes that Craig Builders is known for throughout the area.  Single-family detached homes well suited for first time home buyers, offered by builders Eagle Construction and Piedmont Realty and Construction from $299,000, have also supported the current rise in home sales.

Site work has begun adjacent to the Old Trail Village Center on a new section of single-family homesites and town homes.

Local Concierge Business Makes the Drive into Charlottesville

Cville Concierge LLC, a full-service personal assistant firm that manages tasks ranging from the everyday, routine chores like house cleaning and car detailing on up to projects that require a team of people to orchestrate from inception to completion has a plan for simplifying any lifestyle. An over-scheduled, busy family gets a helping hand when the scrumptious Carpe Donuts get delivered to Annabelle’s birthday party just in time. An executive director is relieved to know that his much-loved convertible has been safely transported along with his customized set of golf clubs and five bags of designer luggage from Charlottesville to his home in London, England.  A harried mother breathes a sigh of relief that the dry cleaning has been shuttled to and from Charlottesville, freeing her time to spend with her children.

Sue Battani, founder of Cville Concierge & Errand Services states, “We’re very pleased that we have been serving our clients since 2006, and we’re continuing to grow every day.  One of the common denominators we’ve seen with our clients is requests for errand management from those residing in the western part of the county, particularly Crozet. They find themselves having to take the drive into Charlottesville to carry out many of their daily tasks. We are poised to be the ‘connector’ of Crozetians and the businesses of Charlottesville.”

Answering the call to most effectively serve the needs of their western Albemarle clients, the Cville Concierge team has begun settling into their new office located in the Old Trail Village Center in Crozet. At this new location, area residents will have some exciting services to enjoy. Teaming up with Terrie and Luke Brown of Skyline Cleaners in Charlottesville, Cville Concierge will be offering dry cleaning drop off/pick up services.

Justin Beights, President of Beights Corporation, developer of Old Trail Village, said of the new addition, “We are truly pleased to have Sue and her team join the merchant community in the Old Trail Village Center.  Their services will really help those seeking the live, work, play lifestyle offered here in Old Trail.  I know many residents are particularly pleased to have Skyline’s cleaner service and a copy center close at hand.”

In addition to several personal assistant services, Cville Concierge’s new Old Trail Village Center office will be offering much needed copying and printing services. The new copy facility offers Color, B&W copies, and standard to 11X17 paper sizes - eliminating any need to drive to Charlottesville to procure copies.

Cville Concierge & Errand Service (http://www.cvilleconcierge.com) offers a comprehensive range of services including, but not limited to: personal shopping service; house-sitting and pet setting; travel arrangements; event ticket pick-up and delivery; internet research; data entry; mail pick-up; package/document pickup and delivery; notary services; bank deposits and other customized services.

Located in the Old Trail Welcome Center office of the Village Center, Cville Concierge’s Old Trail Village Center office hours will be 8AM - 6PM Monday through Friday, 10AM - 3PM Saturday.
