So how is everyone holding up?  Grateful that we have a beautiful Spring blooming in our neighborhood!  I’m still seeing new listings pop on the market in the Brookside/Waldo area–and selling quickly.  As the year goes on, there will probably be a slowdown as many sellers have decided to stay put for now.  In the meantime, here are the home sales stats for the Waldo area (State Line to Holmes; Gregory to 85th St) for last month. Keep in mind that these homes went under contract prior to the pandemic.

March 2020                                                                   March 2019

Median list price:    $229,000                                     Median list price:     $230,950

Median sales price:  $233,750                                    Median sales price:   $227,450

No. of homes sold:       32                                           No. of homes sold:       28

Days on market:          32                                              Days on market:         14

Sold prices increased over same period last year, and a few more homes sold.  The year-to-date numbers show a decrease in prices:

Jan-March 2020                                                              Jan-March 2019

Median list price:    $210,000                                      Median list price:     $225,000

Median sales price:   $210,750                                  Median sales price:    $219,900

No. of homes sold:         64                                          No. of homes sold:          61

Days on market:            28                                             Days on market:            20

Technically, home prices are down about 4% YTD, however sellers getting list

price or a little above.  There is still strong demand, and not as many sellers are listing due to COVID 19.  Currently there are just 11 homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $212,500 and 44 days on market.
