On rural property our first step is to check the surrounding area for negative surrounding property.

On rural property our first step is to check the surrounding area for negative surrounding property. We need to look for mobile home parks, commercial farms or any other feature the would detract from the subject property.
The link below is to the Google satellite image of the home. While there are mobile homes to the east on Ollie Howard Road and south on Winchester Road / Highway 65, I don’t see nearby trailer parks of any chicken or hog farms.

I attempted to show the home when it first cam on the market but had difficulty in scheduling. The owner was hard to reach and when I did reach them they didn’t make much of an effort to work around my client’s schedule.
Estimating market value on unique properties like this is difficult because there are no relevant comparable sales. If you did get to the point of making an offer we can do our best to research sales of similar properties and research courthouse records to try and determine what the seller paid for the property.

Concerns over foundation and condition of south huntsville home for sale

Foundation and condition concerns on house for sale in south Huntsville

At $58 per square foot 11223 SUNCREST DRIVE is well priced at first glance. I do have concerns over the steep lot and since the house is being sold as is, there is not guarantee that the appliance and systems will work.
Steep lots are a point of concern because of the higher probability of foundation problems and elevated radon levels. http://www.huntsville-homes.com/radoninformation . We have seen several homes in this neighborhood with foundation problems and houses on slopes tend to have higher incidences of elevated radon. The radon can be fixed, usually for under $3,000 but foundation problems, even when repaired make the house harder to re-sell for the life of the house. Foundation and condition concerns on house for sale in south Huntsville
We would need to visit the house and do an initial screening to see if there are signs of foundation settling and to see the overall condition of the house.
The house has been on the market as a bank owned property since 02/28/11. Before the previous owner lost the house in foreclosure the house was on the market for 237 days from 04/13/10 to 12/06/10 without selling. It was listed at $159,000 at first and then dropped to $142,900.
The person that lost the house in foreclosure bought it in 2007 for $135,000.
The link below is to a summary of active, pending and sold homes in the neighborhood since 07/01/10. The average sold price was $72 psf with a range of $52 to $84 psf. The average days on market were 116 days with a range of 11 to 224 days.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114598379
At $59 per square foot and having been on market for almost six months, I suspect that there are problems with the house.

# 915895 / 292 GOLDEN HARVEST DRIVE in New Market has been on market almost continually for several years. It has been listed as high as $245,000. At present it’s listed at $196,000 / 75 per square foot.
The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood since 01.01.10. The average sold price was $74 psf with a range of $57 to $91 psf. There are five active listings averaging $92 psf. My initial impression is that the house was originally listed for far more than the market will bear and has just now been reduced to the market range.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114584876
I do like the neighborhood. There is a lot of open space and the house has a huge lot that backs up to woodlands. The link below is to the Google Satellite image.

# 445419 / 114 SINGLETREE DRIVE in Hazel Green has a note on the realtor listing that it is a first right of refusal meaning they have an accepted offer that has a buyer contingency. These contingencies are usually either buyer selling an existing home or getting funding. The house has been on market since 05/19/11. It was originally listed at $244,900. At the current list price of $239,900 it’s listed at $84 psf.
The link below is to the listing where the current owner bought the house for $204,000 /$75 psf on 07/01/2005. Their seller paid $3,500 of their closing costs.

If we focus on this house as a candidate, I will do a more targeted market analysis. We can also estimate seller’s break even point on a sale and use those data points to establish our offer.

The house has been on the market since 07/05/10 and originally listed at $150,000 They have changed realtors once. The original listing shows the house as it is now so one can assume it has been empty since the first listing’s inception.
The link below is to the listing where the current owner purchased the house new in 2002 for $105,900 with seller paying $2,590 in their closing costs indicating they borrowed to purchase.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7113893364
Assuming standard costs and a $450 home warranty for purchaser, the breakeven point on a sale for seller is in the $115,000 range. They are listed at $129,850 / $88 psf.
The link below is to a summary of all MLS homes for sale in Huntsville activity in the neighborhood since 02/01/10. The average sold price was $91 psf with a range of $67 to $100 psf. There are four active listings and one pending sale.
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7113893371
My opinion is that they started out listing the house for too much and that combined with the smell and condition has prevented sales. The listing now has a stigma of being a stale listing and buyers and realtors assume there is something wrong with the house.
Tax records show the owner’s address as the property address so we can at least assume they haven’t filed homestead anywhere else in Madison County. The $443.05 annual taxes for 2010 have been paid.
In an effort to fine the owner’s location and situation I Googled and face booked their names without finding them..
My thoughts are an initial off near seller’s breakeven point. The offer would be contingent on the sale of your current house, home inspections including radon testing and a satisfactory deposition if the remaining items.

My buyer’s do have some interest but are concerned about a few things. First the overwhelming smell of curry. Our eyes were watering when we were in the house. The house has been painted already and carpet cleaning might help but they are concerned about being able to get the smell out of the house.
The second was the items left at the house. We assume that seller is out of the country or for some reason didn’t want to pay the cost of moving the furniture and the garage full of stored items. If my buyers did make an offer and purchase the house how and when would the items be removed? There is food left in the refrigerator and freezer.
