Let's take a closer look at the Apple Valley Lake real estate market.  Currently there are 9 home sales pending in the Apple Valley Lake market overall, leaving 52 listings still for sale. The resulting pending ratio is 14.8% (9 divided by 61).  So you might be asking yourself, that's great... but what exactly does it mean?     I'm glad you asked!  The pending ratio indicates the supply & demand of the market. Specifically, a high ratio means that listings are in demand and quickly going to contract. Alternatively, a low ratio means there are not enough qualified  buyers for the existing supply.   Taking a closer look, we notice that the $100K - $150K price range has a relatively large number of contracts pending sale.     This is the time of year when the lake view homes and the water...

The Apple Valley Lake in Howard, Ohio has a very diverse selection of homes ranging from small existing 800 square feet cabins all the way to the lakefront homes that Apple Valley is so well known for.  Pricing for the majority of the homes at the Apple Valley Lake range from fixer upper homes in the $50,000 with the average 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch selling for around $100,000 and the Apple Valley waterfront homes typically start in the mid to upper $200,000 range and some of the top tier Apple Valley Lakefront homes  exceed $1,000,000. The Apple Valley Lake real estate market went through a transition starting in 2007 and that transition lasted until around 2010.  The transition was directly tied to the U.S. Economy and the housing correction.  Many of the homes at the Apple Valley Lake...

The Apple Valley Lake experiences residential home and lot sales all year round.  The peak boating season experiences the highest level of home sales activity but you would be surprised at the level of home sales activity during the winter when the lake is frozen over.  The graphs below show the previous 6 months of home sales activity and trends.     As you can see from the graphs above homes are selling in the winter and the average sales price reported it's highest sales average sales prices in January...even more than in the fall season.  However, as you will see on the right graphic the days on the market increases a bit during the winter months and this is common year after year.   You can view and compare an impressive selection of available Apple Valley Lake homes for sale organ...

  During the last 6 months the Apple Valley Lake has been experienced a nice boost in home sales activity with a median sold price of $129,000. Breaking it down, we notice that the $100K - $150K price range contains the highest number of sold listings. Alternatively, a total of 52 listings didn't sell during the same period of time. Listings may fail to sell for many reasons such as being priced too high, having been inadequately marketed, the property was in poor condition, or perhaps the owner had second thoughts about selling at this particular time. The $100K - $150K price range has the highest number of off-market listings at 24 properties.  You can also view and compare an impressive selection of available Apple Valley Lake homes for sale organized in price order for easy viewing....

Central Ohio has experienced one of the colder winter seasons in years and the Apple Valley Lake is currently covered in ice.  The good news is that spring will be here in just 39 days and the Apple Valley Lake will soon be raised back to full pool level and boats will be on the lake before we know it.  I took the photo that is featured above on the left this afternoon and the photo to the right I took from the exact same location in 2013.  It won't be long until the view on the left will become the view on right...sunshine, warm weather, boating and fun in the sun will be just around the corner.  Planning on a lake house at the Apple Valley Lake?  Click on this link Apple Valley Lake Homes For Sale and be sure to bookmark it because we are adding new listings on a very regular basis. ...
