We know that buying a home is one of the most important milestones for many Americans, but it comes with stresses to be sure.

A move across the country – or even across state lines - can mean wading through pages and pages of research: learning about the area, the schools, infrastructure, health care options, etc. Plus, contacting agents, home owners and lenders during business hours, while balancing a busy schedule, can be next to impossible.

Because of these challenges, we’ve made it our mission to simplify the task of finding the home of your dreams. Save yourself some time (and sanity) by browsing our Apple Valley Ohio page. If you’ve visited our website recently, you know that our team is dedicated to ensuring you have all the information you need before you decide to buy or sell your Apple Valley home.

You can get the scoop on area schools, zoning regulations, and local ordinances without picking up the phone. From our Apple Valley Ohio homepage you can view a variety of homes and home sites located right on the crystalline Apple Valley Lake waterfront just minutes from prime fishing spots, or cozy, hillside homes surrounded by greenery overlooking the lake. (You won’t find the same spectacular sunsets anywhere else!)  If you love to get out and enjoy the natural world with your friends and family, you’ll love living in this welcoming lakeside community.

Our website includes virtual home tours for current listings; you can ‘walk through’ available homes and lots without ever leaving the house! Or sign up to get information via email about homes that fit your lifestyle and budget. By entering specific search criteria you can be sure the listing notifications you receive will match your specifications.

Now it’s even easier to get the latest Apple Valley Lake real estate updates! Simply “like” our Facebook page to receive new listing profiles, lake photos and pertinent Apple Valley Lake articles through your Facebook news feed.

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.

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.

If you are in the market for an Apple Valley home you should know that our real estate team can help you.  We have an automated system that integrates our MLS into an html email link which enables you to receive all the newest Apple Valley homes and listing updates as they are entered into our Knox County MLS system.  This system delivers listings so fast that in many cases you will be notified before other competing real estate agents even know these homes are for sale.  If you are tired of missing out on the best deals and you aren't already working with a real estate agent just take a minute and create your FREE personalized home search profile and the Apple Valley Lake listings will be sent directly to your email inbox compliments of The Sam Miller Team.

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.

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.
