The Apple Valley Lake real estate market has experienced remarkable trends over the past decade. From 2015 to 2021, home sales steadily increased, reflecting strong demand for lakefront and lakeview properties. However, from 2022 to 2024, the number of homes sold dipped—not due to a lack of buyer interest, but simply because fewer homes were available for sale during that period. Now, with a much-improved housing inventory, the market is showing promising signs of growth once again.
Here is a detailed summary of the Apple Valley Lake home sales organized by year, average sales prices and by total dollar volume.
Market Overview: 2015 - 2024
Between 2015 and 2021, Apple Valley Lake saw a steady number in home sales averaging 146 homes sold per year, with many properties selling quickly and at competitive prices. This period was marked by increased interest from both vacation home buyers and those looking to relocate permanently to the lake community.
However, from 2022 through 2024, the total number of homes sold decreased and averaged 92 homes sold per year. This was not due to waning demand but rather a sharp decline in available listings. Many homeowners were holding onto their properties, creating a limited inventory that made it challenging for buyers to secure their dream lake home.
Housing Inventory Rebound
The good news? Housing inventory at Apple Valley Lake has significantly improved in 2024. More homeowners are listing their properties, creating new opportunities for buyers eager to invest in the area and there has been an increase in the amount of homes built. With increased inventory, we expect to see more sales transactions, ensuring a more balanced and active market.
