113 MALOR CIRCLE  is priced at $189,407 / $82 per square foot. It has been on market since 03/29/11 and has had two price reductions. The current owner bought the house 05/19/2010 for $133,000. That listing (See link below.) indicated the house was sold as is. The current listing indicates recent upgrades.

The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood since 07/01/10. The average sold price was $86 psf. At first look the house appears to be well priced.

The link below is to the Google satellite image and interactive street view of the house. It is located away from traffic arteries. It is about 1,100 to 1,200 feet from a railroad grade crossing. You will hear the train and it's horn but it far enough away that it shouldn't be too loud. There are some apartments and condos on the other side of the railroad tracks but they shouldn't effect the property.
 
The links below are to data on the schools that serve the property. You can also Google the school names to go the each schools website.

I like this neighborhood. We have done several sales here and homes seem to do well. There are some homes on the outside of the neighborhood on Portal that are beside the rail road that aren't desirable. Portal is also a high traffic street. We will need to be sure to test for elevated radon levels. I have done two sales in the neighborhood where we tested elevated levels. It costs about $2,000 to install a radon mitigation system and the cost would be on the seller.
 
115 SOUTHRIDGE DRIVE  is priced at $209,900 / $92 psf. It has been on the market since 03/18/11 with one price reduction.  The current owner paid $210,000 for the house 02/28/2007.

There haven't been and sales in the neighborhood since 07/01/10. If this house does become a strong candidate, we can search for comparable sales outside the neighborhood.
 
The link below is Google's satellite image and street view. The house is far enough from Highway 72 that you shouldn't be able to hear traffic.

613 Sam Thomas is under contract and on a very busy road. My counsel would have been to pas on this real estate in huntsville even if it were still available.

The link below is to the Google satellite image of the house. The location doesn't have any surrounding negative features that I could see. While I haven't sold homes in this neighborhood.

We already addressed 202 Cloud Leap. The listing agent of this short sale said they had already presented two offers tot he lender and were waiting on a response. My impression is that the seller is limiting acess to the house.
 
202 Thunderbird is adjacent to a neighborhood that was hard hit by the April tornados. The area was hit by a tornado in 1999 as well. There is a rumor that prior to the neighborhood's construction that the farmer who owned the land lost a barn to a tornado. While there is no logical reason that a specific neighborhood would be more prone to tornados, you need to be aware that there are a few owners in the neighborhood who are moving our of fear.
 
The house is listed at $184,000 / $81 psf. It has been on the market since 02/05/11 and has had one price reduction. The only other archived MLS listing on the property was a sale to another buyer, not the current owner. We would have to check courthouse records to see what the current owner paid for the house.
 
The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood since 07/01/10. The average sold price was $79 psf with a highest sale at $87 psf.

145 CROOK DRIVE is listed at $239,000 / $86 psf. It has been on and off the the market since 05/06/08.
 
The link below is to the listing where the current owner bought the house in 2007 for $245,000 / $88 psf.
 
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114684686
 
 
I'm a little curious why the seller put the house on the market less than a year from when he bought it and why it has been on market for so long. The house is a " WESTERN RED CEDAR CONTEMPORARY LOG HOME  " . Log homes are romantic but sometimes drafty and difficult to live in.
 
Since this is a log house and not in a neighborhood, it will be very hard to find meaningful comparable sales. If the house becomes a serious contender, we will see what comparable homes we can find.
 
The link below is to the Google satellite image. There is not a street view. Please zoom out to get a perspective of the home's location. It is a good but further north that the other homes and only about 3 - 4 miles from Tennessee,
 
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=145+CROOK+DRIVE,+TONEY,+AL+35773&hl=en&ll=34.910437,-86.745311&spn=0.004065,0.010353&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=32.197599,84.814453&vpsrc=6&t=h&z=17
 
I'm concerned that the lot is sloped. Unless a site and foundation are properly designed, build and water runoff maintained there is a risk of foundation problems.
 
 
The link below is to data on the Elementary school. The middle and high schools are Sparkman as in the listing above.

My recommendation on this house is to be vary cautious. While we need to consider your current needs, at some point you will resell and there is a limited market for log homes.
 
 
While 108 RICK TURNER is in my favorite area of Huntsville / Madison County it is a little further out than I usually direct clients. It is located in northeast northeast Madison County near where I live.
 
The link below is to the listing.
 
http://nalmls.com/NALMLSReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=7114684710
 
 
The house is listed at $224,900 / $108 psf. It has been on market since 05/22/10 and has had three price reductions.
 
The link below is to the listing where the current owner bought the house 07/25/2008 for $230,346 / $119 psf. Not the photo on this listing is a similar house and not the actual house.

The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood since 07/01/10. The average sold price was $105 psf with a highest sale of $113 psf.

The link below is to the Google satellite image. I'm not aware of any surrounding negative features and since the house is near the Flint River checked the flood maps to make sure it wasn't in a flood zone.

Since you are considering properties in northeast Madison County, the link below is to some candidate homes. I filtered for larger lots and detached garages. Since fences are relatively inexpensive to install I didn't filter for fences. Click on the address for a map of the location and toggle to hybrid for an image of the house. Take a close look at the Grasslands house. It is in a nice neighborhood. It did filter out on house that is on a busy road.
