Today is September 1..I’m a bit late getting out the home sales stats for the Brookside zip code of 64113!  My apologies, time just slipped away.  I’m happy to report that the upward trend of increasing home values/units sold for our neighborhood continues, as it has all year.  Here are the details:

In July 2013, 36  homes sold.  The average list price was $437,803 and the average sales price was $429,464.  Average days on market: 65.

In July 2012, 34  homes sold.  The average list price was $341,804 and the average sales price was $330,384.  Average days on market: 98.

You can see there was a huge jump in the average sales price. Why?  Because in this zip code we have home prices ranging from $150K-$1million+.  In July of this year, three home sales were over $1million.  This skews the average sales price way up.

Let’s compare year-to-date figures:

In the first seven months of 2013, 187  homes sold with an average sales price of $351,048 and 88 days on market.

In the first seven months of 2012, 169 homes sold with an average sales price of $314,732 and 112 days on market.

Again we see average prices up from the same time period in 2012. We’ve had four $1million+ sales this year so far, and 21 sales over $500K. Last year, in January -July there were two million dollar plus sales and 19 homes sold over $500K.  There seems to be more upper bracket home buyers in the market this year.

Currently there are 88 homes for sale in zip 64113, with an average list price of $697,636.  Eleven homes are priced over $1million. The most expensive home for sale in our zip code is the old “Applebee’s” house at 5550 Ward Parkway, priced $50 shy of $5 million.
