Apple Valley waterfront building site located next to Sutton Beach among other impressive Apple Valley Lakefront Homes.  This is one of the nicest and more desirable lots available and the price is right at $235,000.  What makes this lot so ideal is that it is level enough so that you do not have a steep driveway and the lot is very easy to mow and maintain yet it has enough gentle slope so that you can have a walkout or daylight basement.

If you are interested in an Apple Valley Lakefront or Apple Valley Waterfront home or lot contact us at (740) 397-7800, email us at samsells@sammiller.com or feel free to view our listings at Apple Valley Ohio Real Estate. 

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.

As I was running my daily real estate report for available homes at the Apple Valley Lake I noticed that there are 105 active Apple Valley homes for sale as of this morning.  What I found interesting is that the average listing price of an available Apple Valley home is $205,613.  The reason I found this interesting is because so far in 2010 the average sales price for an Apple Valley home has been only $145,773.  The huge value difference can be attributed to the higher than normal number of available Apple Valley lake front homes that are currently listed for sale.  Today there are 33 Apple Valley homes that are listed at or above $200,000 with the highest priced active Apple Valley home in the Knox County MLS at $795,000 with only 7 homes selling above $200,000 so far this year.  

The good news is that there have already been 40 Apple Valley homes sell so far in 2010 and we have yet to reach the peak selling months which are typically July and August.  Be sure to watch for our June Apple Valley home sales report.
