The average sold price was $89 psf with a range of $81 to $99 psf. The average days on market were low at 25 days and a range of 6 to 44 days.



There are 8 active Huntsville AL MLS listings in the neighborhood averaging $90 psf with a range of $78 to $98 psf. These houses have been on the market since 07/07/2011, 05/16/2012, 08/10/2012, 09/08/2012, 01/08/2012, 03/31/2012, 04/27/2012 and 07/01/2012.









In general we reccomend listing Huntsville AL homes for sale properties somewhere between the average and highest sold price while staying in the range of active listings. Just based on that rule of thumb the value of your 1,820 sf house would be from $162,000 to $178,000. Where within that range to list depends on how well the house shows.







I reccomend waiting until March of next year to get the tenant out and freshen up the house to put it on the market. We have just passed the peak selling season and expect our real estate market to be even better next year.

Looking in the following High school districts / area; COLUMBIA, HSV, GRISSOM, BOBJ, SPARKMAN, HAZG, BUCK and MADC. I did add the new James Clements school in Madiosn. This filters out most declining neighborhoods.



There are some workable points but in our current market the offer probably won't gain much traction with the prospective buyer. Two critical points I see is that there is not a sales price and you are not offering to pay any of the purchasers closing costs. In any contract we must have a set price. Asking the tenant to pay for an appraisal and then setting the sales price is inviting problems.















What if you were not happy with the price that the buyer's appraiser came up with? In our current market seller can expect to pay most if not all of purchaser's closing costs. Your proposal does not offer any assistance with closing costs. If we were in the real estate market of 2005 when there was a shortage of inventory your proposal might have more appeal to a buyer.



While our local market is slowly recovering there is still an oversupply of inventory. In the $140,000 to $145,000 range there are over 70 active, competing listings in the greater Huntsville area. When I filtered those listings for full brick homes that are similar in age and size there were 42 listings. Some of the competing homes are new construction and most were either in the city or much closer to town than your houses.
