The house has been on the market since 04/06/11 with no price reductions. The Huntsville MLS search;below is to the current listing and the listing where the seller purchased the house 05/30/08 for $327,000 / $103 per square foot with seller paying $4,000 in purchaser's closing costs.

At $103 psf the house is overpriced for the neighborhood. It does have a pool where the comparable homes do not but the value added by the pool is minimal.

Assuming normal costs and seller contributions seller's break-even point on a sale will be in the $353,000 range. We don't know the sellers motivation level but at the current list price he would take a loss of about $26,000. I've learned not to assume we know the seller's mind set. IF the house is a candidate for you, we could make an offer based on market values and see what his response is.

Even if we were willing to pay something near the list price, it's doubtful that lender's appraiser would appraise the house for enough to get a loan approval.

The links below are to information on the schools that serve the house. Note that the High School will probably change to the new Patriot High when construction is finished.
