So we made it to another year, welcome 2022! From all indications, the housing market for Brookside and Waldo will be just as competitive as it was last year. Not enough inventory for all the wanna be homebuyers. In this blog, I’m giving you sales stats for 2021 with a comparison to the previous four years, for single family homes in the main Brookside zip code of 64113. . You’ll see home values took the biggest jump in 2021:

If you are thinking of buying or selling in Brookside this year–start getting prepared now! Sellers can make a plan for decluttering, repairs, paint touch ups and deep cleaning; buyers can get finances and budget in order while talking to agents/lenders and get familiar with the process. It’s going to be another busy year!
