Homes for sale huntsville Huntsville Alabama Real Estate

The MLS archive shows you paid $135,000 / $78 psf for the house in 2010 with seller paying $3,000 of your closing costs. Assuming standard fees and costs, a $3,000 seller contribution to purchaser closing costs and a $475 home warranty your breakeven point on a sale will be in the $148,000 / $100 psf range.

The link below is to a summary of MLS activity in the neighborhood since 05.01.10.

The only sale was your house. There are 3 withdrawn listings and one expired listing that didn't sell. They were listed at $79, $94, $80 and $67 psf. There are 3 active listings at $74, $75 and $60 psf. They have been on market since 01/06/11, 06/02/11 and 01/12/10. There is one pending sale that was listed at $55 psf. It was on market 136 days.

My takeaway from the data is that the probability of selling without taking a substantial loss is very low. Given the current shortage of rentals due to tornado survivors you may consider renting the house until the property appreciates. You can probably get $950 to $1,050. For a short term lease insurance companies are willing to pay a 20% increase in rent and I have heard of hem paying up to a %50 increase in rent. You may be able to find additional comparables at Valley MLS.

I will be happy to help you market the house and screen tenants at no cost and let you use our lease as a template.
