May is one of the busiest months for home sales–and although Brookside had fewer closed transactions last month, prices are still way up. Here are the stats for single family home sales in Brookside, using the main Brookside zip code of 64113:
| May 2022 | May 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $462,000 | $509,000 |
| Median sales price: | $487,400 | $530,000 |
| No. homes sold: | 36 | 47 |
| Days on market: | 2 | 2 |
Although overall, home values were down compared to May 2021, buyers still paid about 5% over asking price. The lowest closed sale last month was $360K and the highest was $1,575K ($75,000 over list price!). Here are the year-to-date numbers:
| Jan-May 2022 | Jan-May 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $489,900 | $450,000 |
| Median sales price: | $515,000 | $464,000 |
| No. homes sold: | 121 | 130 |
| Days on market: | 2 | 2 |
Following the YTD trend, buyers are paying about 5% above asking price and values are 10% higher over last year. We will see in the coming months if the higher mortgage rates slow down the Brookside market and/or affect the prices. I am seeing some price reductions in Brookside and homes staying on the market longer…one thing for sure, the market is always changing!
Currently there are 17 active listings in Brookside, ranging in price from $365K-$4,000,000. Five homes are priced over $1million; only three are listed under $400,000.
