Definitely don’t want to go back to using narcotics, but I’m finding it hard to find updated information. I saw they passed the medical marijuana bill several years ago, but as far as I can tell, no one has access to it? Any info is greatly appreciated.

      @@heatherwallace3397 Hi Heather, the schools are Hampton Cove for elementary and middle school, and Huntsville High School. There are 2 homes already under construction with at least one that should be move-in ready by September. Building from the ground up would take 6 to 8 months from the date of contract in most cases. There is also a sister community across the street called Crystal Creek which is being built by the same builder. Both communities share amenities, but Crystal Creek offers smaller floor plans on smaller lots at a lower price. There are several homes currently under construction in Crystal Creek. Those homes should be available by September as well. Are you looking to be in a new home by the start of the school year?

    @arshadali2312 2 месяца назад

    Cameron was our realtor when we looking for a place to buy and I can't recommend him and praise him highly enough. This is an informative video. There are one or two points that Cameron omitted to mention. First, no mass transit worth the name. Other similarly sized cities like Tucson and Tulsa have some skeletal bus system but I blush to call what Huntsville has as a mass transit system. You have to drive everywhere and the traffic is growing steadily worse as the infrastructure cannot keep pace with the population increase. Secondly, there's hardly any social or cultural life worth the name. But then, this place is part of the Deep South. Dining and shopping options are also severely circumscribed. Thirdly, and not necessarily a negative, Huntsville is a military-industrial hub and this has an impact on the character of the city. Again, not saying it's a bad thing. I think the Huntsville metro area is preferable to places such as Nashville, Memphis, Atlanta, Birmingham, and Chattanooga. But that's not really saying much, is it?

    For DR Horton’s new construction, why does Owens cross road property tax rate more than 1.1% for investors?

    • @CameronWalkerRealty
      @CameronWalkerRealty 2 месяца назад

      A good bit of what we call Owens Cross Roads is actually part of Huntsville rather than just unincorporated Madison County. Huntsville taxes are a little higher than the county taxes. Property taxes for primary residences in Alabama receive a tax deduction of about 50% +/-, and often times new construction homes are taxed as unimproved land until some point later. When the city or county figures out there's a home on that land the property taxes jump. So, investors and secondary home owners will always pay a higher tax rate than a primary owner there are.ogher factors involved as well. I have a video for how to calculate the property taxes with a link to the tool to do so.

      @CameronWalkerRealty 3 месяца назад

      Thanks for watching. It's based on the IRA/401k distribution of the individual, so you would both have to make $6k in income from those sources to get $6k in exemptions each. For the 2024 tax year year the exemption is $12k per individual, and it increases by $6k per year until 2026. As it stands now, the exemption will cap out at $24k that year. If you need to speak with an accountant, please let me know. I have a great local accountant I can put you in touch with.

    When you speak of almost any city, I think it is better to look at the "Greeneville metro area" or "Huntsville Metro Area" population numbers instead of just the city limits. The City Limit never tells the real story of any city these days. I just googled Huntsville metro population 5I4K and Greenville metro population 928K. Also, the lakes around Greenville are Hartwell, Keowee, and Jocassee and all three are pretty large and they have bass fishing tournaments every year. That does not include three other small lakes in and around Greenville. Your comparisons sound weighted towards Huntsville.

    • @bradlemmond
      @bradlemmond 4 дня назад

      Mauldin, Taylors, and Berea are all areas that are adjacent to Greenville's city limits that have large populations and they're continuous from one to the other. Then Greer, Simpsonville, and others continue past that. Then there's all of Spartanburg and it's suburbs. He's right about Greenville's downtown, depending on what you mean by 'everything.' A lot of the shopping and restaurants are out Woodruff Rd and Wade Hampton Blvd, including all of the big-box stores. Most of Woodruff Rd and all of Wade Hampton is outside the city limits. There's also a lot of manufacturing and other jobs in the suburbs and exurbs, like BMW's largest manufacturing plant in the world, and many of its suppliers. I would say his comparison has more detail on Huntsville, which maybe unintentionally weights it towards Huntsville.

      The areas surrounding Madison can be really misleading. You can have a Madison mailing address and be in Madison City, Huntsville, Harvest, Unincorporated Madison County, or Unincorporated Limestone County. Monrovia also overlaps several of those areas as well. Unfortunately, there are many people who moved here thinking they were within Madison City Limits only to find out afterwards that they are not. It gets really tricky around the edges of Madison.
