Real Estate Information

June 1st is already here and I have run the report for the Apple Valley Lake home sales for May 2011.  Last month there were 5 homes that successfully sold at the Apple Valley Lake with an average sales price of $134,700.  The total combined sales volume of the Apple Valley Lake home sales for May is $673,500.  Last month the home sales at the Apple Valley Lake were down substantially because in May 2010 there were 15 home sales at the Apple Valley Lake which is triple the the number of sales last month.

Fewer home sales this past May isn't a big surprise to me because many Apple Valley Lake home buyers have made home sale contingent offers on homes they want to buy but they need to sell their current Apple Valley Lake home first.  This means that once their current home sells we could experience a big boost in sales.  The reason for the boom is that the the buyer would be selling their current Apple Valley Home and then immediately closing on their new / replacement home in Apple Valley which would create two sales at once.  Now that we are in the peak selling season for home sales at the Apple Valley Lake I believe home sales in most price ranges will experience the boost in buyer and home sales activity.

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.

Beginning April 1, 2011, Apple Valley property owners will see some changes in the way they access the Floral Valley building.  In order to save on costs, there will not be a Facilities Operator until 2:00 p.m. 

Effective April 1, the regular hours of Floral Valley which includes the indoor pool, lobby and banquet hall are as follows:

Property owners in good standing will continue to use the facility as they always have during these hours, utilizing the AVPOA photo i.d. card.  Property owners in good standing who wish to enter the upper level of the Clubhouse during its regular hours and access Floral Valley weekdays BEFORE 2 p.m. will be required to purchase an access card for the cost of $10 per card.  This card is NOT the same as the regular AVPOA photo i.d. card.  This card does not gain access to the indoor pool or fitness center.  But just gives access to enter the buildings before 2 p.m. (Closed Tuesday).

If you wish to gas access to the Floral Valley indoor pool before 2 p.m. on weekdays (except Tuesday) and the fitness center located at the Clubhouse during regular hours, you must purchase a fitness membership and hold an access card.  The cost of the membership is $40 per person or $110 for a family membership.  Please note that this membership charge is in addition to the cost of the access card.  These memberships are available for each person in good standing.  The minimum age for a family member to obtain a membership card is age 14.  Members under 14 may not use the fitness center or be left at the indoor pool without an adult. 

Access cards will be available on February  1.  To obtain a card or pay for a fitness membership, come to the administration office during regular office hours Monday – Friday 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.  If you have additional questions or need further information may contact the administration office at 740-397-3311.
