There are currently four sales pending and 16 properties for sale indicating a 20% pending ratio. Pending ratios are important indicators of the supply and demand of the real estate market. High ratios indicate listings are in demand and are quickly going into contract whereas low ratios indicate there are not enough qualified buyers for the existing properties. The current inventory is described as mildly active.

The $100,000 - $200,000 price range has a relatively large number of contracts pending sales and the $200,000 - $300,000 price range has relatively large inventory properties for sale at five properties. The median list price for all properties in this market is $362,450. 48 contracts have closed in the last six months with a median sold price of $364,900. The $300,000 - $400,000 price range contains the highest number of sold listings. Meanwhile four listings have failed to sell in that same time period. Homes may not sell for multiple reasons such as the price is too high, it has been inadequately marketed, the home is in poor condition, or the seller had second thoughts about selling. The $200,000 - $300,000 price range has the highest number of off market listings with two homes.

The Days on Market (DOM) is important because it determines if it is a buyer’s market or seller’s market. If there is a high DOM, it is a buyer’s market and if there is a low DOM, it is a seller’s market. Active listings have been on the market for a median of 33 days. For the past six months, sold properties have a median sold price of $364,900 and 57 days on the market. The $700,000 - $800,000 price range sold the quickest over the last six months. The median sold price for the last 30 days is $432,000 with 52 DOM. Since the recent DOM is less than the median DOM for the last six months, this indicates that there is demand. It is important to know that real estate markets can fluctuate due to changing interest rates, the economy, or seasonal changes. The median list-to-sales ratio for Apple Valley is 100%. The absorption rate indicates inventory of 2.0 months based on the last six months of sales. This estimate is often used to determine how long it would take to sell off current inventory of properties if all conditions remained the same and does not take into account any additional properties that will come onto the market in the future.

Key Market Trends:

-Price Growth: Home prices have seen modest growth over the past year, reflecting ongoing demand for properties in this sought-after lakeside community.

-Low Inventory: The limited availability of homes continues to be a key challenge for buyers. As of late September, the number of active listings remains below typical seasonal averages, contributing to bidding wars for desirable properties.

​

-Lakefront Properties in High Demand: Homes with lakefront views or private docks continue to command premium prices, with some selling above listing price due to the scarcity of such listings.

-Interest from Out-of-State Buyers: Apple Valley Lake has drawn increased interest from buyers outside of Ohio, especially those seeking second homes or vacation properties. This has been driven by the area’s affordability compared to other popular lakefront destinations.

Overall, Apple Valley Lake remains a competitive market with strong buyer interest, particularly for properties that offer proximity to the lake and access to the area's recreational amenities. Buyers are advised to act quickly when desirable properties become available due to the persistent low inventory.

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.

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.

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!

The sunrises and sunsets at the Apple Valley Lake are seriously amazing.  Part of what makes Apple Valley so great for experiencing spectacular sunrises and sunsets is that there are so many unobstructed areas where you can see clear across the lake.  This particular boating and sunset photo happened during a community video shoot at the Apple Valley Lake.
