The year is almost over…and what a year it has been for Brookside home values!  Overall, a hefty increase in average selling price from last year.  Let’s examine the numbers for November–here are single family home sales stats in the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

In November  2013, 27 homes sold.  Average list price was $463,631 and average sales price was $427,150.  Average days on market was 78.

In November 2012, 24 homes sold at an average price of $440,492  and 154  days on the market.

There was a significant increase in average sales price compared to last year, and days on market was cut in half.  The highest price home that closed in November was in Sunset Hill at 1217 W 55th St for $3,650,000.

Now let’s compare to year-to-date figures:

From Jan-Nov 2013, 285  homes have sold  at an average price of $359,103 and 85 days on market.

From Jan-Nov 2012,  280  homes sold at an average price of $340,621 and 115 days on market.

You can see from the figures above that  Brookside homes are selling at a higher average price and in a shorter time frame. I think we will end up with a 10% increase in home prices over 2012–will know the exact numbers when I publish year end figures next month.

As of this writing, there are 82 single family homes for sale in the Brookside zip code of 64113 with an average list price of $700,167. The high average list price is due to 31 homes are for sale at a price of $500K or more; ten of the 31 homes are priced over $1million.

Have a happy holiday season!
