Here we are into the ‘dog days’ of summer, trying to stay inside, escaping from the triple digit temperatures. Home sales usually dip in August–next month we’ll see if that holds true for this red hot home buying year. For now, here are the Waldo home sales stats for July 2021, using the boundaries of Gregory to 85th St; State Line to Holmes.

July 2021                                                             July 2020

Median list price:    $234,000                              $199,000

Median sales price:  $255,000                            $210,000

Days on market:                  2                                    3

Those figures represent a 21% increase in sales price compared to last year! Lowest closed price was $138,000 and the highest was $445,000.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

The number of homes sold is running a bit ahead of last year; and properties are still selling very fast once they hit the market. Median sales price is up 17% over last year.

Currently there are nineteen single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $245,000 and 16 days on market.
