And another year has begun; it was quite a month we had, with weeks of frigid temps, frozen pipes, Restaurant week and football playoff games – congratulations again Chiefs! Last year finished strong for Brookside home values, up 15% from 2022. All indications point to another busy buying season with bidding wars for the priced right properties. Let’s take a look at what happened last month; I’m tracking single family home sales in the main Brookside zip code of 64113:
| january 2024 | january 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $437,500 | $429,975 |
| Median sales price: | $445,000 | $430,075 |
| Days on market: | 4 | 49 |
| No. of homes sold: | 16 | 16 |
Already prices are up around 4% compared to a year ago. Last month the lowest sales price was $312,000 and the highest was $1.195 million. Currently there are 12 homes for sale in Brookside with a median list price of $924,950! The reason for that high number is this: only two homes are listed under $500K; and there are 5 listings over $1,000,000. Most buyers want an under $500K price tag.
