Ho ho ho, Santa brings Armour Hills higher home values this year! Here are the numbers for November, with comparisons to last year:
November 2019 November 2018
Median list price: $325,000 Median list price: $304,475
Median sales price: $323,000 Median sales price: $309,100
No. of homes sold: 3 No. of homes sold: 4

About the same number of homes sold, but the homes sat on the market a bit longer. Now let’s look at year-to-date:
Jan-Nov 2019 Jan-Nov 2018
Median list price: $339,900 Median list price: $315,000
Median sales price: $340,000 Median sales price: $315,750
No. of homes sold: 79 No. of homes sold: 79

Home sales are steady, prices up YTD 7.6%! I will be curious to see the end of year figures compared to 2018–will post those next month. Currently there are four active listings in Armour Hills, with a median price of $386,975 and 37 days on market. Happy holiday season to all!

I stopped by this week to take a look –I haven’t eaten there yet and I’m not a food critic anyway! I was impressed the first thing I saw was four employees, including assistant general manager Patricia Allen, conducting a food tasting for quality, taste and appearance before the lunch rush. The other impressive aspect of this place is the amount of food you get for the price–the plate is piled high with all of the fresh ingredients you choose–easily a full pound of food that could feed two, or at least enough for leftovers! The base of your food “bowl” can be rice, green salad or Japanese noodles. Proteins include two types of chicken (one is spicy), steak, and tofu. And there’s a maze of toppings: hot choices are black beans, sprouts, and potatoes, plus ten cold toppings (veggies, etc). There are six sauce options, which you can taste before you order at a station by the soft drinks–that’s so handy for those who aren’t sure which to try and for picky children! All of this food, on one plate, for under $10! Extra options include kimchi, fresh pineapple and miso soup. There are a few seats if you want to dine in.
