homes for sale in huntsville alabama

The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood since 03/01/11. There were two sales, one at $91 per square foot and one at $88 per square foot. 7516 CRAIGMONT CIRCLE ($88 per square foot) is a much larger home and may not be the best comparison. The three active listings are listed at $84 per square foot, $84 per square foot and $90 per square foot. They have been on market since 03/15/12, 12/19/11 and 01/29/12.

Just based on the one sale, $88 per square foot would seem a reasonable list amount. That there are two listings at $84 per square foot that haven't sold does give some pause.

The old listing shows your house as having 1,470 square feet of heated area.

Using the greater 1,470 square feet; at $88 per square foot the house would be $129,0000. At $84 it would be $124,000.

The link below is to active listings in South Huntsville in the $125,000 to $130,000 range. These homes have been on market since 02/15/12, 02/24/12, 01/26/12, 06/21/11, 04/09/10, 11/13/11, 02/17/12, 01/18/12, 10/29/11 and 03/01/11.

Depending on how well the house shows and how quickly you want to sell, listing in the $125,000 to $130,000 range seems reasonable.

Our next step will be to meet to get to know each other and for me to have a chance to see the house. I also like to take lots of photos for both the MLS, our site, the virtual tour, Craig's List and You Tube slide shows.

There are several forms we will need to fill out to get started. Once we are on the market we will monitor showing activity. We should average 1 - 2 showings per week.

On the five properties you asked about;

Google couldn't map 2201 PALISADES COURT but if the MLS correctly mapped the house is is just north of the house icon at the map below. The house is shielded from Memorial Parkway by what I think is Wal-Mart so there should be very little traffic noise.

Even though at the current list price, seller will be taking a substantial loss on the property, recent MLS activity in the neighborhood does not support the asking price.

7603 CADILLAC DRIVE has been listed at $279,900 / $109 per square foot since 01/24/12. The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood since 03/01/11. With the exception of one anomaly at 7702 SE MARTHA DRIVE where the seller and buyer were both represented by the same realtor, the comparable sales don't appear to support the list price.

The house is near but not in the Aldridge Creek flood zone.

I have a couple of concerns on 2207 LYTLE STREET SE. It is pretty dated and is on a very steep lot. I have seen several older homes in the area that have had foundation problems because of the steep lots. If we do get as far as viewing the house we will need to look carefully for signs of foundation problems. If we go as far as making an offer we need to have a structural inspection in addition to the standard home inspection and radon testing.

At an eventual resale buyers that are older or that have young children will be turned off by the steep lot.

The house has been on the market since 04/05/11 with six price reductions. It is currently listed at $67 per square foot. The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood since 03/01/11.

Since the house has been on the market for so long at what seems to be an aggressive price I'm concerned that there may be problems with the house that are turning off buyers.
