Homes for sale in Huntsville AL, Huntsville Homes for sale research 126 VINEWOOD LANE
126 VINEWOOD LANE has been on market since 01/19/12 at $299,900 / $112 per square foot.

It was listed for rent 08/19/11 at $2,350 lowered several times to $1,795 and then withdrawn on 01/16/12. It was re-listed for rent on 01/19/12 for $2,100 and lowered to $2,000 on 01/27/12.

The listing progression is a little unusual. Normally we would expect a for sale listing that is not selling later be listed as a rental.

The tax records indicate the house is owner occupied. http://www.emapsplus.com/ALMadison/report.asp?County=ALMadison&PID=1603072000013006

The images below are to a close and wide view of the tax plat and the topographic / flood map. The flood zone does reach the back half of the home's lot. It may be that water has never risen to this level. We can ask the neighbors. In any case the flood zone will prevent future development.





House Icon is in incorrect location. Actual house is one lot to the left (west).






The link below is to the Google satellite image of the property and the area behind. What shows on the map above as a creek looks to be an at least partially concrete drainage canal. It's a little confusing in that the canal terminates in a pasture and not a waterway. It may be that the entire drainage canal has been concreted reducing the probability of flooding.

The entire parcel behind the house is owned by LAND TRUST OF HUNTSVILLE & NORTH ALABAMA so there will be no development behind the house.

I think the subject house is nicer than the comparable Homes for sale in huntsville al but still think it is priced above what the market will bear.

Searching probate records was especially difficult. I found;

Without cross-referencing several mortgage releases I found we cant estimate what seller owes on the house. Based on what I did find Seller should have room to negotiate unless there is a mortgage on the property I couldn't find.
