Good Morning From The Apple Valley Lake

An unusually warm November morning resulted in us flying our drone above the Apple Valley Lake to capture a stunning beginning to the day. It's amazing how peaceful the Apple Valley Lake is when the water is so still, providing the perfect back drop to reflect the trees and morning colors. This drone footage takes you by some of Apple Valley Lake's waterfront homes frosted with morning dew, flys close to the East Side Boat Launch, capturing a magnificent view of the sunrise, and eventually takes you above Hillside Court where you can briefly see the Campers Village off to the right. The Apple Valley Lake and its community is filled with breathtaking scenery year round and never fails to impress no matter the season.

Ready, Set, Flow!

It’s that time of year once again when they lower the water level at the Apple Valley Lake down from what is known as full pool to a much lower level.  They do this each year before the cold winter weather arrives and before the lake water freezes.  There are several reasons for lowering the lake but the most important one is to protect the boat docks and sea walls from damage from the ice and ice shifting.  Another benefit is that property owners can make repairs, upgrades or build boat docks and sea walls that would otherwise be nearly impossible when the lake is at full pool.

We have shot a few videos of the initial lowering of the Apple Valley Lake in the past but this is our first time using our drone.  The elevated birds eye view from above the lake offers a unique perspective especially when they opened the water valve and you get to see the initial lake water surging out.  People have asked us “Where does the water go” and the water actually flows through the Little Jelloway Creek and it will eventually find its way into the Kokosing River.

Report for Apple Valley Lake

Let's take a look at at the real estate market for Apple Valley Lake. Currently there are 10 sales pending in the market overall, leaving 29 listings still for sale. The resulting pending ratio is 25.6% (10 divided by 39). So you might be asking yourself, that's great...but what exactly does it mean? I'm glad you asked!

The pending ratio indicates the supply & demand of the market. Specifically, a high ratio means that listings are in demand and quickly going to contract. Alternatively, a low ratio means there are not enough qualified buyers for the existing supply.

Taking a closer look, we notice that the $100K - $150K price range has a relatively large number of contracts pending sale. We also notice that the $150K - $200K price range has a relatively large inventory of properties for sale at 9 listings. The median list price (or asking price) for all properties in this market is $200,000.

A total of 76 contracts have closed in the last 6 months with a median sold price of $162,525. Breaking it down, we notice that the $150K - $200K price range contains the highest number of sold listings. Alternatively, a total of 15 listings have failed to sell in that same period of time. Listings may fail to sell for many reasons such as being priced too high, having been inadequately marketed, the property was in poor condition, or perhaps the owner had second thoughts about selling at this particular time. The $150K - $200K price range has the highest number of off-market listings at 5 properties.

Today is 11-12-2013 and the first snowfall has already arrived at the Apple Valley Lake!  Our first snow came a little sooner this season than I expected and with the warmer temperatures that are headed our way, I expect this snow will melt away be the weekend.  I can remember many years when our first snow hasn't arrived until after Christmas which is why the snow today is a little surprising.

November 15th is the projected day when they will start lowering the Apple Valley Lake level from full pool.  The lake lowering process can take a couple of weeks to reach the desired lake level.  If you have never watched the lake get lowered before you may want to click on this video link and watch the water forcefully drain out of the Apple Valley Lake.   

Each year the lake level at the Apple Valley Lake is lowered to protect docks and seawalls from damage caused by ice when the lake freezes over.  This year the lake is scheduled to be lowered starting on November 15th and the lake level will be lowered by about 6 feet from the full pool level.  The entire lowering process can take 2 to 3 weeks and it is done in gradual stages.

The video below was taken during the initial lake lowering process and shows the power of the lake existing the Apple Valley Lake.
