This blog may give you a feeling of deja vu.. once again I am reporting strong home sales for Brookside in August 2015…as I have been all year.  Prices are up, inventory is down, and many homes are selling within days of being listed.  Here are the single family home sales for last month in the Brookside zip code of 64113:

In August 2015, 30 homes sold.  The median list price was $382,000 and the median sales price was $363,750.  Average days on market: 27. Twelve homes sold over the $400K mark.

In August 2014, 23 homes sold.  The median list price was $375,000 and the median sales price was $357,000.  Average days on  market: 53.

The lowest sale price last month was $142,500 and the highest was $1,257,500 for a Sunset Hills home on W. 56th St. Note the days on market were fewer –this August it was less than 30 days before a house was under contract on average.       

Checking year to date figures:

From January through August  2015, 246 homes sold with a median list and sales price of $325,000 and 38 days on market.   

From January through August 2014, 187 homes sold. The median list price was $320,000 and median sales price was $311,000 and 36 days on market.

Currently there are 57 single family homes for sale in the Brookside zip code of 64113, with a median list price of $539,900 and 80 days on market.  The lowest listing is priced at $199,500 and the highest is just under $4 million. Over half the homes (40) are priced over $500,000, which ramps up the median listing price.
