Huntsville MLS review of rural Huntsville homes for sale October 27, 2011
October 27th, 2011 7:45 AM

We went to xxx yesterday to consider managing it as a rental. It may not be the best candidate for you. The house and land itself are attractive and pleasant I was however surprised at the amount of traffic, the speed and the noise of the traffic. The house is close to the road and while it’s quiet inside, outside is anything but peaceful.

While schools aren’t an issue for you personally, at an eventual resale they will be an issue. The high school has average rankings and the elementary school is quite good.

The house went on the market 10/23/10 for $259,900. On 07/10/11 the price dropped to the current $249,900.

The link below is to the Huntsville MLS listing where the current owner bought the house on 05/12/06 for $230,000. Assuming normal seller transaction costs and contributions the seller’s breakeven point on a sale is in the $249,000 range. (The current list price.) It looks like the seller and listing agent did the same calculations as I did.

XXX is not on the market but the owner is considering selling.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=0098765543453
When I asked him about the sale price he indicated:

I can sell it as is which comes with X acres and keep my other piece of property roughly XXX acres next to the driveway. Or I can sell it all together. I paid XXXXXX for the house in XXXX and XXXX for the land in XXXX. I don’t want to pay to get out

Based on this and assuming some standard seller costs he would need to sell in the XXXXXXXXrange for both the house and lot plus the additional .XXXX

I’m pretty sure the link below is to the satellite image of the property pre construction.

The owner approached me about leasing it for him as it hasn’t sold since being on market since 10/23/10. The owner said there were two wet weather creeks that ran most of the year. He said that the house sites close to the road which turned off some prospective buyers.

Please let me know if I need to follow-up on either of these two properties.

64 WILJOY CIRCLE is in a development of similar properties. I showed it several months ago and it didn’t look as good as it does in the photos. I didn’t think it was a strong match for your needs but wanted to point it out just in case.

I will preview XX Road for you in the next few days. I haven’t heard from the listing agent on .XXX

XXX has been on market since 10/20/11. The current owner bought the house in 1998 for $186,200.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114920484

The closest flood zone is about 7,000 feet away.

The link below is to the Google satellite image of the house.

Note that wile the realtors photos don’t show it the Google street view shows a gravel drive beside the concrete drive for parking a semi.


While the properties immediately surrounding the house are comparable there is what appears to be a junky mobile home on Macedonia Road about 500' from the subject property “A”. At “B” there is a smaller house with seven cars parked at the house.

Given the distance from the subject house and that most surrounding properties are comparable, I think the immediate neighborhood should be acceptable.



The house is about 2,000' ft from Highway 53 and there will be some traffic noise in the distance.

While the house is very attractive, it may not meet your needs. There is not a garage or a lot of storage.

The house is built on the uphill corner of the lot close to the road. Except for the far side of the house from the street or downhill from the house, there is not room for an addition or garage. I researched the surrounding lots ownership. They are owned by a development company.



























I may be wrong but the unpaved road above the house may be acess to undeveloped lots.

109 WESLEY CLARK BLVD has been on market since 10/19/11. The link below is to where the current owner bought he house 07/03/2003 for $320,000 / $76 per square foot.

http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114904542


The flood maps show the house is over 2,000′ from the nearest flood zone.

The link below is to the Google satellite image of the house. It’s the fourth one down from Hardeman Road on Wesley Clark on the right side of the street.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hardeman+Road,+Madison,+AL+35756&hl=en&ll=34.698446,-86.790072&spn=0.00198,0.006212&hnear=Hardeman+Rd,+Madison,+Limestone,+Alabama+35756&t=h&z=18&vpsrc=6


Pan to the right of the house an you can see the adjoining property faces County Line Road.

The link below is to the interactive street view.

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Hardeman+Road,+Madison,+AL+35756&hl=en&ll=34.69812,-86.790758&spn=0.000018,0.012424&hnear=Hardeman+Rd,+Madison,+Limestone,+Alabama+35756&t=h&z=17&vpsrc=6&layer=c&cbll=34.698001,-86.790758&panoid=Fjct2OKaEfOehkcweeDvfA&cbp=12,62.47,,0,0

Since the house is in Limestone County ( but in the Madison City limits.) I had to go to the Limestone County tax records. There is not a map search feature to find ownership of a given plot but the map below shows one section of land adjacent to County Line Road.

My concern is that this land will eventually be developed for commercial use and you might loose the privacy.





The link below is to a summary of Huntsville MLS activity in the neighborhood since 10/01/10. The average sold price of the two sales was $94 per square foot with a narrow range of $94.75 to $94.04 per square foot. The average days on market was surprisingly low at 34 days with each property selling in 34 days.

At a list price of $91 per square foot the house is priced within the market range.

Another factor may be schools. Even if schools are not a concern for you, the quality of the schools that serve a property may be important upon an eventual resale of the property. Two excellent resources for researching schools are http://www.schooldigger.com/go/AL/search.aspx and http://www.greatschools.net/modperl/go/AL.
We can filter listings on age, brick verses frame, ranch verses two-story and a number of other factors.

While 6644 WILLOW POINTE DRIVE , #H looks really nice. It’s listed for $74,900 / $71 per square foot.

It was listed for a short time in 2010 at $74,000 without selling. It has been listed this year since 06/29/11.

144 CASTLE RIDGE DRIVE is a house in New Market. I know you prefer a condo but single family homes are a lot easier to sell. Also it will be safer. While Willow point and Old Monrovia Road are not crime ridden. They are in the news on occasion for both property and violent crimes. The schools that serve the condos are not very good either, hurting the ability to eventually re-sell.

The seller painted in some pretty bold colors that will make the house harder to sell but for a few hundred dollars we can repaint.
