So, take a guess how much home prices in Brookside increased in 2020 compared to last year….read on and you’ll find out! I’m reporting the stats for single family home sales in the main Brookside zip code of 64113, along with a five year comparison.
| December 2020 | December 2019 |
| Median list price: $449,000 | $422,500 |
| Median sales price: $430,000 | $420,000 |
| No. of homes sold: 35 | 22 |
| Days on market: 8 | 25 |
Last month we had two million dollar + homes that closed. The lowest sales price was $259,000 and the highest was $1,376,000. Below are year to date numbers for the past five years:
| 2020 | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 | 2016 |
| $419,475 | $389,950 | $409,900 | $395,000 | $350,000 |
| $418,500 | $380,000 | $399,000 | $387,000 | $350,000 |
| 324 | 300 | 283 | 297 | 327 |
| 8 | 23 | 18 | 20 | 34 |
Home values are up 10% in one year, 19% since 2016. Houses are going under contract much faster, and selling very close to list price. Our highest 2020 sale was just under $2,000,000; fourteen homes closed at over $1,000,000. With interest rates at historic lows and demand quite high, I think we will have a robust spring homebuying season.
Our neighborhood remains very popular with buyers, despite the pandemic that overtook everything this year. Multiple offers are still quite common. Currently there are eleven active single family homes for sale in zip code 64113, with a median list price of $785,000 and 86 days on market. The median price is so high because seven houses are priced over $500K.
