Wide Panoramic View of the Apple Valley Lake

by Sam Miller

The boating activity on the Apple Valley Lake during the week is typically calm and peaceful making it great for those who love to relax and enjoy a little quiet time.  I took this photo from the edge of Sutton Beach which is located near the front entrance just off of Apple Valley Drive on Baldwin.  The location of Sutton Beach is less than 1 minute from the main entrance of Apple Valley on Coshocton Road.

Apple Valley Lake Home Sales

by Sam Miller

 

Apple Valley Lake Panoramic Photo by Sam Miller

We had one of those Winters that seemed like it would never end which placed a slight damper on home sales at the Apple Valley Lake early in the year.  From January 1st, 2011 through May 12th, 2011 there have been 15 homes sell for a combined value of $2,052,501 at the Apple Valley Lake.  In 2010 and during the exact time period there were already 25 home sales sold for a combined value of $3,902,850.  This means that there are not only fewer home sales at the Apple Valley Lake so far in 2011 compared to 2010 but the average sales price is down from $156,114 in 2010 to $136,833 in 2011.

The home sales numbers above don't show it but there is a tremendous amount of buyer activity taking place at the Apple Valley Lake and the demand is very high.  The primary reason the home sales numbers for 2011 are below 2010 is because many of the home buyers for Apple Valley Lake homes already own a home that they need to sell firm.  In years past buyers were more willing to buy a replacement home without having to sell their current home but due to the shift in the overall economy buyers are either not as comfortable with this approach or their bank won't float them the interim financing.  Either way it has slowed home sales but based on our website views, virtual tour traffic and the number of showings we can certainly tell that home buyer interest is super strong at the Apple Valley Lake.  

The reduction in Apple Valley Lake home sales pricing is partially due to an existing bottle neck effect that is taking place with home sale contingent type transactions.  There are a large number of home sales on the brink but until those buyers finalize and close the sale of their existing home the home they are wanting to purchase remains in limbo.  The Sam Miller Team has alternative methods that in many cases can overcome the bottle neck effect of the home sale contingency buyer.  We utilize contingency release purchase agreement addendums which allow us to continue to show homes even when they are under contract with a home sale contingency buyer.  From time to time we also offer home trades and guaranteed sales so that our buyers and sellers can move forward with their purchase and sale.  We also have a local lender who offers equity loans, bridge loans and interim financing to qualified buyers so they can more forward with their purchase prior to selling their home.

Apple Valley Lake Home Sales Report

by Sam Miller

There have been 11 homes sales at the Apple Valley Lake during the first quarter of 2011.  The home sales ranged in price from $60,000 to $161,000.  During the first quarter there was a total of $1,326,000 in total combined home sales volume at the Apple Valley Lake with an average sales price of only $120,545.  To put things into perspective it is important to know there during the same 3 month period there were 52 Apple Valley Lake homes listed for sale and the average listing price of these 52 homes is $189,421.  This activity is fairly typical for the Apple Valley Lake because for most of the first quarter the lake is covered with ice.

The current available inventory of homes for sale at the Apple Valley Lake includes 96 homes that are listed in the Knox County Ohio MLS.  This is a very normal level of available homes in Apple Valley for this time of year.  April is generally the month that the housing market at the lake really takes off.  Last year in April there were 9 homes that sold in a single month which is nearly as many sales home sales as the entire first quarter of this year.

Apple Valley Lake Market Report

by Sam Miller

The first 6 months of 2010 have been busy at the Apple Valley Lake.  From January 1st, 2010 through June 30th, 2010 there have been 43 homes sell at the Apple Valley Lake through the Knox County MLS.  14 of these 43 homes that sold actually closed with a sales price of $100,000 or under.  This just goes to show that there are some exceptional values for those looking for a starter home and an affordable vacation property at the lake in Apple Valley Ohio.  

There were 17 homes out of the 43 that sold between $100,000 to $150,000 with an average sales price of $130,444.  There were only 4 Apple Valley lake front / Apple Valley water front homes that sold through the Knox County MLS during the first half of 2010 and the average sales price was $395,575.   

There are 115 Apple Valley homes available through the Knox County MLS as of today.  The average listing price for these homes is $219,924.  I created a custom real estate report relating to the available Apple Valley lake community homes organized by price range below:

  • 19 Homes that are priced between $65,000 to $100,000 
  • 30 Homes that are priced between $100,001 to $150,000
  • 31 Homes that are priced between $150,001 to $200,000
  • 9 Homes that are priced between $200,001 to $300,000
  • 11 Homes that are priced between $300,001 to $400,000
  • 5 Homes that are priced between $400,001 to $500,000
  • 5 Homes that are priced between $500,001 to $600,000
  • 4 Homes that are priced above $600,000

When I was reviewing my Apple Valley Lake real estate report I noticed that during the first 6 months of 2010 there had only been 3 home sales over $300,000.  This is very interesting because there are currently 25 homes on the market in this price range for sale TODAY.  If you assume that during the second half of 2010 this price range sees an increase in sales by 50% that still means there is an active supply that is equal to 18 months on the market and that doesn't take into account new listings that WILL come on the market.  

We are no longer in a real estate market where the 3 most important factors are "Location, Location, Location".  The new market requires the home to be priced competitively, well staged, accessible for showings and you need a marketing plan that will attract the "RIGHT" buyer for your home.  

If you are interested in talking Apple Valley real estate regardless if you are interested in an entry level vacation home or an Apple Valley lake front home, my team and I would love to be your Apple Valley Lake REALTOR.
