The Connection

The final figures are in, and itlooks like the 2015 local hous-ing market was a modest win-ner. Coming off a banner 2013,

the 2014 market left buyers, sellers, agents,brokers and lenders all feeling a bit edgywhen the previous year’s successes did notspill over into the next year. But despite abit of a rollercoaster ride, 2015 closed withannual regional sales 9.4 percent higherthan 2014 – their highest since 2006. Datafor the region, that includes the generalMetro area, as well as specifics for Fairfaxand Arlington counties, the cities of Fairfax,Falls Church and Alexandria, and the townsof Herndon, Vienna and Clifton is suppliedby RealEstate Business Intelligence, L.L.C.(RBI), an arm of the local MLS system.

In the first half of the year the normalbuying pattern was disrupted by a numberof factors, not the least being the long anddifficult winter which pushed the start ofthe spring market from late January or Feb-ruary to mid-March.

“The hottest real estate season lost a solidmonth of sales,” said Reston-based KellerWilliams agent Andy Krumholz. “Then itended earlier than normal, as well,” headded.

“Normally lasting until late June beforethe summer slowdown, this past year themarket went to sleep in May and stayed thatway through Labor Day.”

TO EVERYONE’S RELIEF, the second halfof the year saw a real pick up in real estateaction. Virgil Frizzell, the Northern VirginiaAssociation of Realtors (NVAR) chairmanof the board noted “a strong fall market andsometimes a flurry of bidding wars” thathelped overcome the slow start, even withthe jitters that came as the world waitedfor the anticipated increase in the Fed FundsRate by the Federal Reserve, and the ad-justments to be made as new closing lawswent into effect.

According to the RBI data, Fairfax Countyhad the most closed sales in 2015, increas-ing 9.6 percent over 2014. Alexandria camein with a 9.4 percent increase, Fairfax Citywith 7.9 percent, Arlington with 3.9 per-cent and Falls Church with 3.8 percent.

Among the jurisdictions, Fairfax Countyalso saw the highest increase in new list-ings, up 14.6 percent over the previous year,a trend that Anita Lasansky, CRB, manag-ing broker-vice president Long and FosterRealtors in North Reston can attest to.“We’re a 60 percent/40 percent listing ver-sus sales organization and it was a brisk yearfor us,” she said, although at the moment“there’s not a lot of inventory.” Chairman

Frizzell agrees that “our region could alwaysbenefit from affordably priced new homesthat will help our renter population makethe move to home ownership.”

In terms of sales pricing, Lasansky’s opin-ion is that it was an almost neutral marketyear. “Buyers couldn’t ‘steal’ a house, butsellers couldn’t easily sell a property not ingood condition.

There was quite a bit of negotiating dur-ing many of the transactions.” Krumholzagreed with that assessment. “Even as in-ventory increased and some sellers wereadjusting their sales price expectations,buyers were remaining selective. Homesthat needed repairs or improvements lan-guished on the market.”

The RBI numbers show that bothLasansky and Krumholz were right in theirthoughts about pricing and the average dayson the market (DOM) of a given property.The region saw only a 1.1 percent increasein the median sales price. Behind D.C., Ar-lington County and Alexandria City led theway, with increases over 4 percent. InFairfax County median sales prices were 3.2percent higher in 2015 than in 2014. OnlyFalls Church saw a year-over-year decrease,dropping 1.4 percent, but keeping the “most

expensive location crown” among theNorthern Virginia locales with a 2015 me-dian sales price of $690,000. At 22, dayson the market increased slightly for all ofthe areas analyzed, but even those increasesdid not depress the overall sense of markethealth, since the two-day increase in themedian DOM from 2014 is still an impres-sive 41 days less than the DOM high of 68in 2008, and not far off the lowest DOMlevel recorded in the past decade of 15 daysin 2013.

SO WHAT DO THE EXPERTS take fromthis plethora of information as they look tothe 2016 market? NVAR CEO Ryan T.Conrad believes the positive trends will con-tinue throughout the year. “Our region’ssales pace last year reflected that there washomebuyer confidence,” he stated in a re-cent NVAR press release, and “serioushomebuyers will understand that their buy-ing power will be strongest in the early partof the year” considering further expectedrate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

Lasansky, with her 40 years of local ex-perience, is looking at 2016 to be “as good,if not better, than 2015.” Asked if she sawthe current Wall Street woes as a challenge

to the market, she replied the effect mightjust be the opposite. “With interest rates stillso low, the volatility of the stock marketmight just steer people more toward realestate as the safer bet.” Lasansky also feelsthat the recent easing of some of the regu-lations and requirements could make home-buying more of a possibility, especially foryounger and first-time buyers.

Frizzell is equally positive about the 2016outlook. “Millenials are starting to make themove,” he stated. Several of his rental cli-ents are now on the hunt for homes of theirown.

Armed with the RBI data, his own exper-tise, and encouraging information providedfrom the George Mason University Centerfor Regional Analysis, Frizzell thinks thatcontinued employment growth and a morebalanced economy in the region might make2016 “one of the best years ever.”

RestonOpinion

Have you ever paid 36 percent in-terest on a loan or credit card?

Not likely. It’s an outrageousrate, especially given that the ac-

tual cost of money is close to zero right now.But right now, some people in Northern Vir-

ginia are paying more than 200 percent onloans secured by their car title. These arepeople who are both financially desperate andfinancially unsophisticated, who likely assumethat regulation would keep a lender frombleeding them dry with unrestricted interestrates.

Predatory lending is a local issue, with cartitle lenders congregating in lower income ar-eas like along Route 1 in the Mount Vernonarea, and also queuing up near the border withPrince George’s County, Md., where car titlelending is illegal.

Earlier this week, a Virginia Senate commit-tee killed a bill that would have capped con-sumer loan interest rates at 36 percent. It’s hard

to believe, but right now there are no limits tothe interest rates that can be charged in Vir-ginia. And car title lenders, which are not con-sumer loans, often have effective interest ratesof more than 200 percent.

“Predatory lending is a major problem in theU.S. 1 Corridor,” said Sen. Scott Surovell (D-36), who introduced the failed legislation tocurb predatory lending. “Car title lenders havebeen abusing this loophole by charging ratesover 200 percent. ... To rein in car title lenderbait and switch tactics, I am proposing to limitinterest rates on consumer finance loans at 36percent.” But that effort died in a Virginia Sen-ate Committee this week.

Between 2010, when the Virginia GeneralAssembly gave the green light to the car titlelending industry, the total number of locationsmore than doubled from 184 to 395.

Some legislators claim this is a free marketand personal responsibility issue, that peoplewho have no other options should be able toturn to high interest lending as a last resort.But most people who turn to these loans wouldbe better off without this last resort.

“It’s a trap, and although it’s presented as aloan it’s really loan-sharking,” said Jay Speech,

executive director of the Virginia Poverty LawCenter. “People who get into this end up muchworse off than when they started.”

We all pay the price when an industry preyson the poor. People who lose their cars can losetheir jobs, then relying on the frayed and in-adequate safety net.

Michael Pope, who wrote about car title lend-ing abuses when he worked for the Connec-tion and Gazette Packet, recently completed amulti-part investigative series on predatorylending for WAMU, which you can listen tohere: http://wamu.org/the_debt_trap

When his series concluded, the message ofthe damage of predatory lending seemed toresonate. Legislation to rein in the abuses of200 percent interest seemed destined to makea difference.

This year, it will not.Attorney General Mark Herring tweeted,

“disappointing, not surprising” on Monday inresponse to the news that all four bills thatsought to limit predatory lending were voteddown in committee.

Disappointing, but not surprising. A sad com-mentary.

By Kenneth R. “Ken” Plum

State Delegate (D-36)

In the early years of the 20th-centurytravelers were advised not to come toVirginia because of the poor condition

of the roads. Deep ruts, mud holes and lackof maintenance made travel precarious inthe Old Dominion. In 1925 State SenatorHarry F. Byrd who as a young man hadworked part-time on a private toll road—the Valley Pike in the Shenandoah Valley—ran for governor on the campaign slogan“Get Virginia out of the mud.” Byrd’s cam-paign was successful, and in his single termas governor he established the Virginia De-partment of Highways. His centralized high-way system led to the present-day highwaysystem that is one of the largest in the coun-try with 57,867 miles of highways and20,991 bridges. Byrd also implemented a“pay as you go” financing system that keepsthe pace of highway construction and im-provement at the rate of current revenuewithout borrowing. Old timers in the stateremember traveling on roads that went fromtwo to four lanes and back to two every fewmiles as money was available in the high-way construction fund to complete the wid-ening.

Governor Gerald Baliles who served from1986 to 1990 was able to get a significanthighway funding program approved in 1986that along with federal funding was able tomake improvements to the highway systemand to introduce funding for mass transit.That was the last time politicians in Rich-mond could agree on a financing plan for

transportation until 2013 when new monies wereapproved along with a new approach for identi-fying projects.

Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne lastweek briefed the House Transportation Commit-tee on which I serve and outlined the three Rs intransportation planning that have come about be-cause of legislation passed the last couple of years.As a result of bipartisan efforts, Virginia’s trans-portation program has been renewed with new re-sources for all modes of transportation. The pro-gram has been reformed by requiring use of anoutcome-based prioritization process with in-creased accountability and transparency. The trans-portation program has been refocused by replac-ing the decades-old allocation formula with a newformula that aligns funding with need. Gone is theapproval of funding transportation by locality to ashift to regional consideration and statewide needs.Rather than the piecemeal approach to projectfunding there now will be full funding of projects.And the new system of funding that has been putin place is designed to shift prioritization from poli-tics to factors of congestion mitigation, safety, ac-cessibility, economic development, environmentalconcerns and land usage.

Governor Byrd’s Department of Highwayswhose name was changed to the Department ofTransportation years ago has begun functioningwith a multi-modal approach that includes busand rail as well as bicycles and pedestrians. WhileNorthern Virginia continues to face significantchallenges as one of the most congested parts ofthe country, additional funding that is now avail-able along with the outcome-based prioritizationprocess will accrue to the benefit of our region.Results will not be immediate, but I believe weare moving in the right direction.

Progress on Transportation

These three gentlemen tookit upon themselves to digpeople out from the “Bliz-

zard of 2016.” The Thorn Hillneighborhood had rarely seen aplow since Friday and the prob-lem of “Where to put the snow?”was becoming an even greaterconcern. The elderly could not getto their cars, the handicappedwere feeling a loss of their free-dom and dogs were at a completeloss as to where to go.

And then three angels (or threewise men) appeared: Todd Ander-

son, Richard Wood and AndyZisari. On their own with a rentedsnowblower they began - onehouse at a time - to dig cars out,create trails and walkways andmake neighbors smile. These threegentlemen were out very late inthe freezing cold and they wereback out early Tuesday morning.

The Blizzard of 2016 certainlybrought frustration and worry, butin the neighborhood of Thorn Hillit also brought out the best in all.

❖ Reston Golf Course11875 Sunrise Valley DriveRN Golf (partially owned by

Northwestern Mutual) filed noticeof its appeal of fall’s County’s Cir-cuit Court decision, which rein-forced the land use process, to theVirginia Supreme Court. RN Golfclaims by right development in thematter of the land use designationof Reston National Golf Course.

The owners of Reston NationalGolf Course hope to build housingon the land in the future, but a re-cent county circuit court ruling willrequire them to go through theusual rezoning process to do so.

Circuit Court Judge Michael F.Devine made a ruling that protectsReston National Golf Course frombeing developed, at least until theowners of a golf course navigatethe proper channels to seek a landuse change, or continue to appealits case. Judge Devine grantedFairfax County’s motion for sum-mary judgment, meaning the Cir-cuit Court vacated and voided theApril 15, 2015 county Board ofZoning Appeals (BZA) decision

concerning the Reston NationalGolf Course.

“The circuit court ruling on Fri-day, Nov. 6, is considered a defeatfor the owner of the golf course andis significant because any redevel-opment of the course must now bepreceded by the filing of specificplans with the county, which willthen be compared with the ‘Devel-opment Plans’ approved in 1971,”said John McBride, RestonAssociation’s legal counsel.

“These plans are in the countyzoning files and clearly limit useof the land to a golf course, openspace and driving range. Anychange to these approved planswill require amendment approvalby the Fairfax County Board ofSupervisors. The golf course ownerhad sought to avoid this require-ment for a plan amendment byseeking by-right use status for anumber of residential and otheruses.”

A snowstorm caused Fairfax County PublicSchools to cancel classes and athleticevents from Thursday, Jan. 21 throughTuesday, Jan. 26. Some areas received

more than 20 inches of snow during the weekend,according to the National Weather Service, creatinga break from competition for local high school ath-letes.

Herndon junior Alexa Bradley, the defending Con-ference 5 all-around gymnastics champion, sharedher storm experience via email with The Connec-tion.

Q: In what city do you live?A: I live in Herndon.Q: How did the amount of snowfall in your neigh-

borhood compare to what you thought would fall?A: I didn’t doubt that we were going to be getting

a big snow storm but didn’t realize how much snowactually comes from a non-stop snowstorm for morethan 24 hours. I’ve never seen so much snow in mylife, so it was hard to imagine what to expect.

Q: What, if any, preparations did you and your fam-ily make for the storm?

A: We went grocery shopping before the snowstarted on Friday. I didn’t want to be stuck in thehouse with my mom and a group of my brother’sfriends, so I prepared a four-day long suitcase andgot snowed in with my best friend.

Q: What did you do to pass the time during thestorm?

A: During the storm I watched a bunch of cooldocumentaries on Netflix, played board games withmy friends, cooked and baked many good treats,napped, and did homework.

Q: Did you play in the snow? If so, what did youdo?

A: When it started snowing I took a walk up thestreet. I wanted to build a snowman but didn’t haveany gloves so I haven’t (as of Sunday night) beenable to use my hands to make anything, but on mysnow days I’m planning on building an igloo andsnowman.

Q: Were you able to exercise/practice during thestorm? If so, what did you do?

A: We have not been practicing at all since thesnowstorm but I’ve been trying to stay stretched outso my body doesn’t hurt too bad after I return to aregular practice schedule.

Q: The Conference 5 gymnastics meet is approach-ing (Feb. 3). At this point in the season, how do youfeel you’re performing?

A: I feel like I’ve had a slow start to this seasontaking more time to get my body back to the way itwas when I ended last season, but trying my best.

Q: As the defending all-around champion, whatare your expectations for this season?

A: My expectation for this season is to be beat mypersonal best and to keep moving forward and get-ting better in my skills.

A snowstorm caused Fairfax County PublicSchools to cancel classes and athletic eventsfrom Thursday, Jan. 21 through Tuesday, Jan.

26. Some areas received more than 20 inches of snowduring the weekend, according to the NationalWeather Service, creating a break from competitionfor local high school athletes.

South Lakes volleyball player MelodyCaloyannides, who is committed to Virginia Tech,shared her storm experience via email with The Con-nection.

Q: In what city do you live?A: Reston.Q: How did the amount of snowfall in your neigh-

borhood compare to what you thought would fall?A: We accumulated around 28 inches, but due to

drift there were spots as high as 33 inches. We ex-pected 1-2 feet, but it was well over that.

Q: What, if any, preparations did you and your fam-ily make for the storm?

A: Like many families, we purchased salt, an extrashovel, and food for a little under a week of homemeals. However, I did hear from a few families thatgenerators were bought, as well.

Q: What did you do to pass the time during thestorm?

A: The first day I spent mainly at home with myfamily, but after the first day I walked to visit friends.With water-resistant clothes, it was not too bad. Thewalk was definitely a workout though.

Q: Did you play in the snow? If so, what did youdo?

A: Yes, I did play outside. A few friends and I wentsledding and we also built an igloo since there wasplenty of snow to do so.

Q: Do you play a winter sport at South Lakes?A: No, I do not play a winter sport at South Lakes

because I play volleyball all year; indoor volleyballduring the school year, and sand volleyball duringthe summer.

Q: Were you able to exercise/practice during thestorm? If so, what did you do?

A: Unfortunately, no. We have had about a weekoff of practice and conditioning which has made pre-paring for a tournament this coming weekend a littledifficult. However, every night we would completeour “homework,” which would consist of an hour-long training program to stay in shape.

Q: What made Virginia Tech the right choice foryou?

A: I have loved Tech since sophomore year, butwas on and off because I wanted to research intomore schools. I knew it was the school for me whenI went on my third visit during the fall. Up until then,I had not visited since my sophomore year. The day Icalled the coach telling them I’m accepting their of-fer, I cried tears of joy like no other. It’s an amazingfeeling and I couldn’t be happier to call myself aHokie.

By KENNETH B. LOURIE

“Your Blood Pressure is a Little High, Mr. Lourie”

“You think? I’m a little nervous right now. I’mwaiting for scan results from last week.” (I mean,it’s not as if my life depends on them or any-thing.) As much as my blood pressure, heart rateand temperature are vitally important, the CTScan of my chest matters more. Although, I’mnot so naive to think that those other readingscouldn’t indicate trouble/potential trouble.Nevertheless, I still feel, with the limited knowl-edge I have, that – and I don’t want to get politi-cal here – my CT Scan trumps your vital signs.“If you need to get a reading, why don’t youcome back in 15 minutes after I’ve met with thedoctor?”

Thankfully, the scan results were/continue tobe, amazingly encouraging. When my oncolo-gist came into the examining room where I wassitting and waiting – and trying to remain calm,with my life/immediate future hanging in thebalance, he said, rather nonchalantly, that my“scan was great” and that I was his “miraclepatient”: surviving nearly seven years now sincemy stage IV, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)diagnosis in late February, 2009. He then sat atthe computer and asked me the standard ques-tions about pain, headaches, stroke-like symp-toms, the neuropathy in my feet, need to re-order any prescriptions, new or worseningsymptoms; all of which I answered in a non-complicating way: “No. No. No.” He typed inmy responses and then suggested, while smiling,that we were negotiating. Not completelyunderstanding his reference, I asked what hemeant. And what he meant was, given my “mir-acle” status, the possibility of extending, yetagain, the interval between my chemotherapyinfusions, from four weeks to five (see columndated 11/25/15 entitled “All Four It”) andextending as well my every-three-month CTScan to every four or even six months and like-wise extending the interval for my PET Scan toyearly. All of which sounded wonderful, but wewere still “negotiating.”

My oncologist’s concern/goal/intention inthese discussions is, and always has been, thequality of my life (after all, I do have cancer).And when I’ve had a particularly difficult post-chemo week, as I experienced most recently,and told him as much, he feels as if it’s a weekof my life that he’s sort of taken away and won’tbe able to ever give back. Extending the inter-vals is his way of trying to get me more goodweeks and/or increasing the length of timebetween bad weeks.

However, there are no protocols, clinicalstudies or history even, for him to consult todetermine how best to treat me: “me” being astage IV, non-small cell lung cancer patientwho’s alive, reasonably well and still undergoingtreatment SEVEN YEARS after originally being“prognosed” to die within “13 months to twoyears.” At this point, he said, it’s more commonsense and patient preference that dictates howwe proceed.

Ergo, these conversations are all about me.My doctor makes suggestions/considerationsand listens to my concerns (make that anxieties)and DOES NOT direct/push/control the out-come/decisions that are ultimately made.Together, we attempt to sort through my objec-tions/assumptions/presumptions/misunderstand-ings, etc., to figure out a way forward that bal-ances the quality of my life with the effective-ness of my treatment.

Unfortunately, there’s no patient handbook –that I know of – called “Cancer for Dummies.” Ifthere were, perhaps I wouldn’t mind navigatingthis minefield of life-altering, death-defying –hopefully – choices, that constantly presentthemselves. Then again, at least I’m still alive tohave choices – and normal blood pressure, mostof the time.

❖ Tetra11450 Baron Cameron AvenueReston Association CEO Cate Fulkerson

has said that the Tetra property may beready for the community to use by spring2016.

Reston Association (RA) bought the 3.47acre Tetra property for $2.65 million in July.Two months earlier via referendum, asso-ciation members voted to approve the pur-chase the property for community and rec-reation use.

“The Tetra Property purchase representsa historic moment for our association. It isthe first time in RA’s history that propertyhas been acquired to protect against overdevelopment, to enhance green space andto increase community and recreational useopportunities for members,” said RestonAssociation Board president Ellen Graves.

“Members will not see an impact to theirassessment fee from this purchase until2018 at the earliest,” she said.

The property, which sits between RA’sLake Newport Tennis Court complex andpart of the RA’s Brown Chapel Park, creates

a continuous band of 98 acres of commonarea property or parkland.

❖ Lake Anne Revitalization?11404 Washington PlazaIn March 2015, the Board of Supervisors

had approved a massive redevelopment ofLake Anne and surrounding apartments,businesses, and property in March. Theproject would have included 1,037 newmixed-income residences, more than110,000 square feet of new retail includinga 15,800 square-foot boutique grocery,82,454 square feet of office space, an am-phitheater with outdoor movie screen, anexpanded plaza, multiple parks and trails.

There would have been 185 new afford-able apartments in two five-story buildingsto replace the 181 existing affordable unitsat the Crescent Apartments.

But Reston was caught off guard in De-cember when developers pulled out of amassive, visionary, grand redevelopment ofLake Anne, apparently due to problems withfinancing.

“LADP indicated that serious market ob-stacles exist, and that the initial deal nego-tiated with the County may not be economi-cally viable at this time,” according tocounty documents.

One of the biggest questions of 2016 iswhat will be next for Lake Anne’s revital-ization plans following the termination ofthe contract between the Fairfax CountyBoard of Supervisors and Lake Anne Devel-opment Partners LLC.

Lake Anne turned 50 years old in 2014,the year Reston’s Founding Father turned100.

“We’ll have to reassess,” said CathyHudgins, Reston’s representative on theBoard of Supervisors.
