It’s the last week of May 2020; have you noticed how much more daylight we have in the evening?  Many more people out walking and I often hear the bagpipe player here in Armour Hills.  We have a long summer ahead dealing with the coronavirus..but we persevere! Here are the home sales stats for Armour Hills, the largest subdivision in the Brookside area:

April 2020                                                                   April 2019

Median list price:    $340,000                                     $358,700

Median sales price:   $336,500                                  $366,250

No. of homes sold:      6                                                10

Days on market:        20                                                 2

Home prices were down 8% compared to the year prior.  Now let’s look at year-to-date numbers:

Jan-April 2020                                                           Jan-April 2019

Median list price:     $339,950                                    $347,500

Median sales price:    $337,500                                 $350,000

No. of homes sold:        13                                               23

Days on market:            32                                               31

Armour Hills home prices are down about 3.7% year to date; Brookside as a whole is off 5% YTD.  Notice fewer homes are selling.  This decrease cannot all be blamed on the pandemic.  Inventory is still low; currently there are 4 active listings in Armour Hills, with an average list price of $352,475 and 40 days on market.
