Huntsville AL homes for sale BBB scam warning December 29, 2011
BBB Warns of Phone Scam
BBB of North Alabama Warns Accredited Businesses & Employees of Microsoft Phone Scam
How does the scam work? The caller impersonates a microsoft representative and claims there is a serious virus or issue with the consumer’s computer. The caller may warn that if the problem is not solved, the computer will become unusable. In more recent calls, they have claimed that the individual receiving the call has had their account hacked into and bogus messages with viruses attached are being sent out to others in their name. To “fix” the problem, the consumer is directed to visit a website or download a program that gives the caller remote access to log in to the computer. In some cases, the consumer is then offered a preventative service for a fee. The scam: The caller does not work for Microsoft. Never give personal or financial information to an unsolicited caller. Don’t agree to purchase over the phone.
-Report fraudulent activity: Complaints can be filed with the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov.Internet and e-mail scams can be reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.Complaints about a specific business can be filed at www.bbb.org.

I’ve worked with a lot of out of area investors looking for multifamilyproperty in Huntsville. One most be extremely cautious. Most of theavailable properties are in undesirable areas where it is very difficult tofind stable tenants. There is a high turnover and make ready costs betweentenants can be a cash flow killer. It’s rare that well priced properties indecent areas are posted on MLS. Most sales of desirable properties are aresult of word of mouth.
The other issue is finding hands on, consistent property management. Thereare few local managers willing to handle multifamily. From our perspectivethey are a poor investment of resources. It takes at least twice as manyresources to manage a $400 – $500 rental as it does to manage a $2,000rental. Our income from cheaper properties is a fraction of what we earn onthe larger homes.
There are only a handful of local managers that are taking on multifamilyproperties. It’s hit and miss on weather their clients are happy with theirservice.

I do have friends who own a good bit of C class property Huntsville homes for sale that seem to have ahandle on managing them. They have a few properties listed, more that couldbe sold and indicated a willingness to continue management at least for atime. I’ve tried to convince them to do outside management because there issuch a need but they have their hands full with the properties they have andtwo sons involved in football and wrestling. Please let me know if you mighthave an interest in their properties.
I work mostly in single family properties. The cash flow may not be as goodas multifamily but appreciation, liquidity and ease of management are muchbetter.

huntsville homes for sale
With market values going down in most markets, taxpayers would like to turn the sale of a personal residence loss (which is not deductible) into a capital loss (which is deductible) but it could potentially backfire if it is not handled correctly
December 11th, 2011 10:12 AM
With market values going down in most markets, taxpayers would like to turn the sale of a personal residence loss (which is not deductible) into a capital loss (which is deductible) but it could potentially backfire if it is not handled correctly
Active participation standards are met if the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse participates in management of the rental property in a significant and bona fide sense. For example, management decisions such as approving new tenants, deciding on rental terms, approving expenditures, and similar decisions meet active participation standards.
This said it is important that simply “saying” you perform these duties is not adequate. They must be documented in the form of signed leases, emails approving expense, rental and property management decisions, approve repairs and maintenance quotes, etc. Documentation is key to preventing the IRS from disallowing these deductions. Simply put the IRS cannot audit air, only what is documented.
This does not prevent homeowner’s from engaging in a property manager to assist them with operating the property but they must stay involved.
Lastly the $25,000 special loss allowance benefit begins to be reduced starting at a $100,000 of adjusted gross income for someone married filing joint and completely phases out at $150,000 Adjusted gross income. AGI.
There is a difference between a Huntsville homes for sale being treated as an investment/rental property and rent incidental to a sale. A six month lease would probably be considered as rent incidental to a sale. This expenses would just increase basis of the personal residence. Leases should be for at least a year.
Each situation has specific circumstances and this information should be reviewed with a qualified tax professional before relying on it’s accuracy and application This is general information about meeting the “active participation” standards which would allow a real property owned to deduct these losses.
There are additional specific situations that can affect these rental losses as well which need to be looked at on a case by case basis. The most important thing is the need to have supporting documentation for these rental real property activities
You’ve got to be careful about turning a personal residence into a capital gain asset. I know that with market values going down taxpayers would like to turn the sale of a personal residence loss (not deductible) into a capital loss (deductible) but it could potentially backfire if it is not handle correctly. The other the timing between converting a personal residence to rental property and the sale of that same property.
The bottom line is the IRS will look at the facts and circumstances of a taxpayer’s position and if they deemed as tax avoidance they will disallow that position.
The information provided in here is stated in general terms. We are not tax professionals and readers must contact a qualified tax professional before relying on this information

114 SINGLETREE DRIVE at the link below has photos posted now.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7115067294
The flood maps indicate it is over a mile from the nearest flood zone
The link below is to the Google satellite image. The house is located in a subdivision. There is a pasture behind the house.
Google estimates 30 min. to Redstone Arsenal.

This house probably doesn’t meet your needs but please let me know if I can preview it for you.
13330 Bradford Road has a Madison address but is outside the city of Madison in Limestone County.
The house is about 1,000 feet from the nearest flood zone.

Google wasn’t able to locate the house exactly but The link below is to what I think is the house. I cant see any negative features in the surrounding properties although there are some nearby homes.

I will preview this house for you in the next several days.
204 COVEVIEW ROAD is on Keel Mountain within a few miles of the Blowing Cave house.
I did talk to our home inspector about log homes out of concern for draftiness and settling. He indicated that with modern construction and chinking between the logs the draftiness has been eliminated and with aged, dried logs settling is minimal.
The house has been on the market since 08/03/11. The link below is to the listing where the current owner bought the house in 2005 for $175,000. There is limited information on the original listing but I cant see where there were substantial improvements to the property since 2005. 2005 was near the peak of our real estate market and the house was on the market 183 days before selling. Unless I am missing something the property seems to be priced above what the market will bear.

homes for sale in huntsville alabama
At $147,900 112 SUNNYFIELD DRIVE is listed at $92 per square foot.
The link below is to a summary of MLS activity of similar homes in the neighborhood since 11/01/10. The average sold price was $90 per square foot with a range of $79 to $99 per square foot. The average days on market were 99 days.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7115057106
The house has been on market since 11/15/11.
While the sale of the house to the current owner is not recorded in MLS and the online probate records do not include the original purchase mortgage, the attached file ” Evers” is a mortgage assignment indicating that the original mortgage was dated 11/24/03.
The average sold price in the neighborhood in 2003 was $75 per square foot so we could expect that seller bought the house for something in the $120,000 range. Unless seller has refinanced or taken a second mortgage that are not showing in the probate records, they have room to negotiate.
At the current average sold price of $90 per square foot this 1,600 sf house would be $144,000. Note that prior listings of the home indicated 1,575 and 1,577 square feet.
While the map below doesn’t correctly place the house we can see that none of the homes on the street are in a flood zone
The link below is to Google’s map of the house.

If we were to proceed with this house I can look outside the immediate neighborhood for comparable sales but my initial impression is that the house may be priced above what the market will bear.
The house is within about 100′ of a flood zone. (The house is not properly mapped )

House fire caused by air freshener

Had to pass this one along. Very interesting and scary at the same time� Insurance is a wonderful thing when it works, but read the cause of this fire – you may be surprised. Please pass this one along to your family and friends.
This photo was taken at the scene of a house fire that occurred. I’ve never heard this info before…
Received from a friend who is in the insurance property business. It is well worth reading.
The original message was written by a lady whose brother and wife learned a hard lesson this past week.
Their house burnt down… nothing left but ashes. They have good insurance so the house will be replaced and most of the contents. That is the good news.
However, they were sick when they found out the cause of the fire. The insurance investigator sifted through the ashes for several hours. He had the cause of the fire traced to the master bathroom. He asked her sister-in-law what she had plugged in the bathroom. She listed the normal things…curling iron, blow dryer. He kept saying to her, ‘No, this would be something that would disintegrate at high temperatures.’ Then her sister-in-law remembered she had a Glade Plug-In, in the bathroom.
The investigator had one of those ‘Aha’ moments. He said that was the cause of the fire. He said he has seen more house fires started with the plug-in type room fresheners than anything else. He said the plastic they are made from is THIN. He also said that in every case there was nothing left to prove that it even existed. When the investigator looked in the wall plug, the two prongs left from the plug-in were still in there. Huntsville Alabama Real Estate
Her sister-in-law had one of the plug-ins that had a small night light built in it. She said she had noticed that the light would dim and then finally go out. She would walk in to the bathroom a few hours later, and the light would be back on again. The investigator said that the unit was getting too hot, and would dim and go out rather than just blow the light bulb. Once it cooled down it would come back on. That is a warning sign.
The investigator said he personally wouldn’t have any type of plug in fragrance device anywhere in his house. He has seen too many places that have been burned down due to them.

Homes for sale in Huntsville al
Huntsville AL homes for sale, Equestrian homes for sale in Huntsville AL
November 21st, 2011 1:37 PM
The house has been on market since 11/01/11 and is listed at $285,000 / $105 psf. The link below is to the current listing and to the listing where the seller both the house in 2005 for $305,000 / $112 per square foot. Note that the square footage price includes the total cost including acreage.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID
You can see that the sold listing shows 7 acres while the current lisings shows 4.12 acres. This concurs with the information we have on the owner having sold land to the neighbor.
My my reckoning the tax plat below indicates the home has a little over the 4.12 acres stated on the listing.

While the mapped location is off, the map below shows flood zones and terrain contours. The home is actually located at the southeast corner of the cul-de-sac. There may be a flood zone at the very back of the property but not near the house or barn.
Google estimates 23 min. to Redstone Arsenal and Research Park.

As mentioned, it will be difficult to find comparable sales. Starting with the immediate neighborhood. The link below is to the home that I pointed out that sold in 2010. It was a much larger home and was on the river. It is however frame construction, is older and only has 2.8 acres. It sold in 104 days at $450,000 / $114 per square foot.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID
The link below is to a neighborhood home that sold at $80 psf. It was larger than the subject home at 3,2040 square foot. ( The sold price per square foot of larger homes will trend lower than that of comparable smaller homes.) It also is on a much smaller .46 acre lot. It doesn’t have a barn or farm fencing.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=711NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID
The link below is to a summary of sales of similar properties in northeast Madison County since 01.01.10. Again direct comparison is difficult. Many of the homes are much further from the city, have varying lot sizes and some are on hillsides with less useable land. While 4001 MAYSVILLE ROAD looks great in the photo, there is a warehouse / truck terminal just out of frame on the left.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7115NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID
The link below is to the full listings.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=711503NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID
My impression is that the list price the subject property would be a fair price. Since this is a short sale and we will be negotiating with the lender rather than the seller we need to view the transaction from the lender’s perspective.
I researched the Madison County probate records for mortgages on the property. The link below is to the original first mortgage for $244,000. Note that the loan is an adjustable rate mortgage. The original interest rate was 5.75%
http://probate.NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID/LoadImage.aspx?sk=200511NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID0&format=PDF&ref=3b94a197NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID
Assuming that there were no adjustment to the interest rate nor any additional principle payments the current balance on the first mortgage will be in the $222,158.03 range. If the seller is behind on her payments that amount could be greater.
The link below is to the second mortgage. The original amount of the mortgage was $61,000 so the seller did not make a down payment on the house. This loan is a 20 year mortgage. The interest rate is not stated and there is a balloon payment rider. Given the limited information recorded with this mortgage, we can’t accurately estimate the current loan balance.
http://NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID.al.us/LoadImage.aspx?sk=2005112300NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID&format=PDF&ref=477f477a-c24f-4323-9953-ffdb9NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID
Assuming the second mortgage balance is $55,000 the total encumbrances on the property is in the $277,000 range. Assuming standard seller expenses, a $4,000 seller contribution to purchaser closing costs and a $480 home warranty for purchaser, the house would need to sell in the $299,000 range to clear the mortgages. At a list price of $285,000 seller is asking lender to forgive or accept unsecured payments on around $14,000.
As mentioned before finding accurate comparables to establish market value on this property is nearly impossible but I believe the house is priced within what the market will bear. If this house does meet your needs better than the other Huntsville AL homes for sale we have seen and you are serious about it, we should consider an offer near what the list price is. We could always make a lower offer but there may be multiple offers over the several months that lender may take before deciding on any of the offers. We are working with what is in effect a blind closed bid auction of an undetermined length with no guarantee that lender will accept any offers received.
I am booked tonight but still have tomorrow afternoon clear. Please let me know if that will work for you
As a point of interest, the link below is to a partial release from the mortgage of the land that seller sold to the neighbor.

While traffic will increase over time Powell Road ends about a mile and half to the west. There is a pond to the immediate west of the house.Just south of the pond there is a shed or barn with what looks like a stock handling yard. There is not any livestock in the image and there is grass growing in the pen. If the pen was seeing use there wouldn’t be grass.
Further to the west and closer to the road there is a shed that may have some vehicles or equipment composting. This is pretty common on farms and may not be a point of concern. Further west there is a house and then an old mobile home.
After the mobile home there is a small church.
There is an odd set of three buildings that sit off the road on a dirt drive. I can’t tell what this property is but it’s far enough from the subject home that a stable or farm operation wouldn’t have much impact.

With the exception of a TVA substation at the west end of Powell Road the other properties in the street are homes, small farms and a couple of mobile homes.
To the east to the property there is a house and then a new housing development GREENBRIER WOODS .

To the south there is housing and to the southwest there is more housing. While the property may not be landlocked future, close by development is doubtful.
The tax plat is below. The area shown is far more than 2.5 acres. I suspect seller has divided the property around the house and the tax records haven’t updated yet.

Huntsville MLS short sales
Huntsville MLS Short sales are especially difficult
November 2nd, 2011 8:09 AM
You may experienced in purchasing short sales and foreclosure homes but if you aren’t I wanted to prepare you for some of the hurdles;
Short sales are especially difficult in that we may have to wait weeks if not months to hear back from the lender on offers. Because it takes so long for the lender to respond there may be multiple offers. Some lenders are fairly efficient but most aren’t.
On foreclosures we need to take a close look at the property condition and compare it’s price to that of recent Huntsville MLS comparable sales. Often foreclosures are not priced well and it takes the lender many months to over a year to lower the price to what the market will bear. Foreclosure properties are also more difficult to finance. In Alabama the borrower who lost the house or his assignee have the right to redeem the property for one year from the date of the sale. Properties are rarely redeemed but lenders require a redemption bond to protect their interests from the possibility of redemption. The last bond I was party to cost around $2,200.

The link below is to the Google image of the Berry Road house. It is a quiet street with little traffic. There are woods on both sides and at the back of the house. I did hear someone practicing drums for a little while. I think the sound was coming from the the house to the north. The one nearest the street. It didn’t last for long and it was in the late afternoon.

The images below are the tax plat of the property.

Wider view. The owner said the house was about a mile from a boat ramp.
Huntsville MLS
The link below is to the photos. The owner does have deer on the property. I saw tracks. It is in the city limits and I don’t know if hunting on the property would be allowed.
http://youtu.be/IoaU9yn7HY8
I had asked the listing agent of the 2737 County Road 8 to better map the property location in the Huntsville MLS so we could locate a satellite image. She blew me off saying she had mapped the house as close as possible to it’s actual location. I asked for landmarks to help locate the house on satellite but she didn’t respond.
After seeing the house in person I think the link below is to the actual location about a mile west of where she had placed it. The commercial building in front is Kennedy Used Cars. The front on Kennedys doesn’t look too bad but there are lots of semi trucks and junk cars parked on the right side and rear of the building. It looks like they are mining gravel or chert out of the hillside behind the building as well. There was a track hoe with a front end loader parked behind the building. You can see the commercial property and earthworks from the front porch of the house. The commercial operation is about 100 yards from the house.
The stove and water heater are propane but the tank has been removed.
When I walked up to the house I flushed an Armadillo and saw where he was digging tunnels in the yard.
The house itself is pretty nice but has some deferred maintenance. I did note lightning rods on the house. A good idea being located on the edge of mountain. The view is breathtaking but the surrounding property will make this house a tough one to sell.
If the listing agent had been forthcoming we may have saved the trip.

As you review the listings not that there are a lot of listingsin the same area. There is a reason these units haven’t sold.

The house does look decent at first glance and may be worth a look. I know it’s been on market a LONG time. The first posting was 07/01/10 with WELLMAN PROPERTIES, INC at the owner. It was re-listed in the Huntsville MLS on 05/11/11 at $89,900 with WORTHINGTON FEDERAL BANK as the owner.

Location on this home is questionable. It’s pretty far out of the city. While schools are not important to you they will be on an eventual re-sale The primary school is considered good but the high school is not the greatest.

Location on this home is questionable. It’s pretty far out of the city. While schools are not important to you they will be on an eventual re-sale The primary school is considered good but the high school is not the greatest.

In the second section of the listing it shows 8 units, 2 bedrooms each withrents at $325.
Late afternoon on Huntsville's Monte Sano
The income and expense information from the listing below is incomplete. Wewould need to get the rent rolls to confirm expenses and vacancies but thelisting states.
Gross Income: $33,228Vacancy: $0Taxes: $1,211Insurance:Gas & Elec: $0Water & Sewer: $0Waste Remov: $456Maintenance:Management:Other Exp: $480Total Exp:Net Op Income:
Unless you are an experienced landlord, managing low income apartments willbe hard. We manage almost 400 properties and regularly turn down lowerincome multi-family property. Even as professional property managers withresources, experience and a great Tenant Landlord Law attorney. Managing lowincome property is a bad business decision. It uses way too many resourcesfor minimal return.
If you are looking for multi-family my counsel would be to look in a litterhigher price range
This unit has been on the market since 08/18/11 without selling. It lastsold for $192,000 on 06/28/07.

From selling at $192,000 to being listed at $150,000 for three monthswithout selling might be an indication the neighborhood is in decline.
I review available multifamily homes for investor clients and the only on onthe Huntsville MLS market I could really reccomend them reviewing is.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114948679
I think it’s priced a little high for the market but it is in a stable area.
My preference is single family property. Its more liquid, has betterappreciation and is much easier to manage. The cash flow is not as good asmulti-family but it’s a much safer investment.

I searched the Huntsville MLS for viable multi-family property. Out of over 80 available properties the one at the link below is the only one I saw that is worth considering. The others are in bad areas,
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114941424
It has been on market since 08/19/11. There link below is to where the current owner bought the unit 9/24/10 for $130,000.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114941426
The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood since 01/01/09. There is not really any relevant data in the sales but I think $199,000 is well above waht the market will bear.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114941432
Depending on how much work the current owner had to do to the building when he bough it, his break even point on a sale will be in the $140,000 range.
The rents that are stated on teh listing look to be in line with what I would expect.
The link below is to the Google satellite image of the property.

Huntsville MLS review of rural Huntsville homes for sale October 27, 2011
October 27th, 2011 7:45 AM
We went to xxx yesterday to consider managing it as a rental. It may not be the best candidate for you. The house and land itself are attractive and pleasant I was however surprised at the amount of traffic, the speed and the noise of the traffic. The house is close to the road and while it’s quiet inside, outside is anything but peaceful.
While schools aren’t an issue for you personally, at an eventual resale they will be an issue. The high school has average rankings and the elementary school is quite good.
http://www.schooldigger.com/go/AL/schools/02480016OO0/school.aspx
http://www.schooldigger.com/go/AL/schools/0248001KIJH/school.aspx
The house went on the market 10/23/10 for $259,900. On 07/10/11 the price dropped to the current $249,900.
The link below is to the Huntsville MLS listing where the current owner bought the house on 05/12/06 for $230,000. Assuming normal seller transaction costs and contributions the seller’s breakeven point on a sale is in the $249,000 range. (The current list price.) It looks like the seller and listing agent did the same calculations as I did.

XXX is not on the market but the owner is considering selling.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=0098765543453
When I asked him about the sale price he indicated:
I can sell it as is which comes with X acres and keep my other piece of property roughly XXX acres next to the driveway. Or I can sell it all together. I paid XXXXXX for the house in XXXX and XXXX for the land in XXXX. I don’t want to pay to get out
Based on this and assuming some standard seller costs he would need to sell in the XXXXXXXXrange for both the house and lot plus the additional .XXXX
I’m pretty sure the link below is to the satellite image of the property pre construction.

Note that wile the realtors photos don’t show it the Google street view shows a gravel drive beside the concrete drive for parking a semi.
While the properties immediately surrounding the house are comparable there is what appears to be a junky mobile home on Macedonia Road about 500' from the subject property “A”. At “B” there is a smaller house with seven cars parked at the house.
Given the distance from the subject house and that most surrounding properties are comparable, I think the immediate neighborhood should be acceptable.
The house is about 2,000' ft from Highway 53 and there will be some traffic noise in the distance.

While the house is very attractive, it may not meet your needs. There is not a garage or a lot of storage.
The house is built on the uphill corner of the lot close to the road. Except for the far side of the house from the street or downhill from the house, there is not room for an addition or garage. I researched the surrounding lots ownership. They are owned by a development company.
I may be wrong but the unpaved road above the house may be acess to undeveloped lots.

109 WESLEY CLARK BLVD has been on market since 10/19/11. The link below is to where the current owner bought he house 07/03/2003 for $320,000 / $76 per square foot.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114904542
The flood maps show the house is over 2,000′ from the nearest flood zone.
The link below is to the Google satellite image of the house. It’s the fourth one down from Hardeman Road on Wesley Clark on the right side of the street.

Pan to the right of the house an you can see the adjoining property faces County Line Road.

Since the house is in Limestone County ( but in the Madison City limits.) I had to go to the Limestone County tax records. There is not a map search feature to find ownership of a given plot but the map below shows one section of land adjacent to County Line Road.
My concern is that this land will eventually be developed for commercial use and you might loose the privacy.
The link below is to a summary of Huntsville MLS activity in the neighborhood since 10/01/10. The average sold price of the two sales was $94 per square foot with a narrow range of $94.75 to $94.04 per square foot. The average days on market was surprisingly low at 34 days with each property selling in 34 days.
At a list price of $91 per square foot the house is priced within the market range.

We can set up more detailed searches that the Huntsville MLS search allows the public and can set up automated searches. If you let us know what you are looking for in terms of price, size and location we can set up the searches for you.
If you are unsure of what areas to consider, a starting point might be your work location and how long a commute you are willing to make.

Another factor may be schools. Even if schools are not a concern for you, the quality of the schools that serve a property may be important upon an eventual resale of the property. Two excellent resources for researching schools are http://www.schooldigger.com/go/AL/search.aspx and http://www.greatschools.net/modperl/go/AL.
We can filter listings on age, brick verses frame, ranch verses two-story and a number of other factors.

While 6644 WILLOW POINTE DRIVE , #H looks really nice. It’s listed for $74,900 / $71 per square foot.
It was listed for a short time in 2010 at $74,000 without selling. It has been listed this year since 06/29/11.

1155 OLD MONROVIA ROAD , #1C is within a half mile of Willow Point.
PLANTATION SOUTH in south Huntsville id very nice but please note the high homeowner’s association dues (156/MO Includes-Pool, ExtBldgM, CommonGr, ExtIns, TrashRem, PestCont, ExtWater, InsWater, Sewer
144 CASTLE RIDGE DRIVE is a house in New Market. I know you prefer a condo but single family homes are a lot easier to sell. Also it will be safer. While Willow point and Old Monrovia Road are not crime ridden. They are in the news on occasion for both property and violent crimes. The schools that serve the condos are not very good either, hurting the ability to eventually re-sell.

144 CASTLE RIDGE DRIVE is a house in New Market. I know you prefer a condo but single family homes are a lot easier to sell. Also it will be safer. While Willow point and Old Monrovia Road are not crime ridden. They are in the news on occasion for both property and violent crimes. The schools that serve the condos are not very good either, hurting the ability to eventually re-sell.
The seller painted in some pretty bold colors that will make the house harder to sell but for a few hundred dollars we can repaint.
