360 degree image of the Apple Valley Lake East Boat Launch #applevalleylake #theta360 - Spherical Image - RICOH THETA

We stopped by the east boat launch at the Apple Valley Lake this evening to enjoy a gorgeous sunset.  While we were relaxing at the lake I was able to capture a few 360 degree images from the boat launch docks using my spherical 360 degree real estate camera.  The east boat launch is a popular location for boaters because it is an especially easy place to access the lake and there is lots of space for parking your truck and boat trailer.  I love this location for an entirely different reason...it is one of the 2 best locations at the Apple Valley Lake to capture amazing sunsets all year long.  

The summer weather and the warmer lake water temperatures have arrived a bit earlier making it the perfect time for fun in the sun at the Apple Valley Lake.   Boats and jet skis are on the lake, the big fish are biting and there's activity happening at all 3 beaches.  During the week the Apple Valley Lake almost feels like you have the entire lake to yourself other than a few fishing boats and the lake has been smooth as glass.

Hope to see you at the lake!

Apple Valley Lake Homes For Sale

 

Home Sales at the Apple Valley Lake Are Rising in 2013

by Sam Miller

The Apple Valley Lake is experiencing a positive boost of home sales activity already this year.  From January 1st, 2013 - September 5th, 2013 the Knox County MLS reports that Apple Valley that the number of home sales are 17 percent higher in 2013 than during the same period in 2012 and also compared to 2011.

Here are some interesting facts about Year to Date home sales at the Apple Valley Lake:

  • 2013 - 82 Home sales with an average sales price of $143,914 
  • 2012 - 70 Home sales with an average sales price of $158,441
  • 2011 - 60 Home sales with an average sales price of $171,475

What is interesting about the statistical info above is that there are more homes selling at the Apple Valley Lake in 2013 but the bulk of the sales activity hasn't been waterfront homes which is why the average sales price is more similar to the Knox County MLS average home sale.  During the peak of the housing market the Apple Valley Lake averaged quite a bit higher due to the larger and more expensive waterfront homes being such a significant portion of the lake sales.  Now with the increased home sales activity at the Apple Valley Lake in the lower and mid priced homes as well the averages have adjusted down a bit.  

Some who read this may instantly believe that home prices are falling and that is just not the case.  There is simply more affordable homes selling than expensive waterfront homes at the Apple Valley Lake.  This year there are more homes selling under $150,000 than over $150,000 which is why the average sales price has adjusted down.  Remember, if just a couple more $500,000 waterfront homes sell during the next month or two it can play a sizable part in raising the overall average sales price at the Apple Valley Lake in 2013 because most waterfront homes are selling for double and many lakefronts are selling for triple the price compared to the average non waterfront home.

Be sure to watch for our monthly Apple Valley Lake Home Sales Monthly Report because we will share with you the month end sales and averages.
