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.

The image below is to the tax plat. The two large parcels to the west are privately owned by the same owners. It is possible that the two properties could be developed at some point.

I am a little concerned about all of the bedrooms being upstairs. It may not make the best retirement house, will make an eventual resale more difficult and will imit perspective tenants to some degree.


112 MILL CREEK CROSSING is listed at $76 per square foot and has been on the market since 06/25/10. It was originally listed at $163,900 and has had a series of price reductions.

The link below is to the listing where the current owner paid $126,500 for the house in 1999.

117 WILDWEED COURT is listed at $93 per square foot. It has been on market since 10/16/11 with no price reductions. The current owner paid $126,000 for the house in 2005.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7115057402

The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in teh neighborhood since 11/01/10. There was only one sale at $76 per square foot. The active listings have been on the market since 11/23/11 (bank owned) , 09/27/11, 10/16/11 (The subject) and 05/19/11 respectively.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7115057404


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

Air freshener house fire November 26, 2011


Air freshener fire

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.

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.

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.

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.
