Last month, Brookside had it’s highest closed sales price for the year–over $5,000,000! Read on for the full breakdown of the stats. Higher interest rates have not slowed down home sales in our neighborhood-I think buyers have accepted that an above 6% rate is the norm now. Who knows what will happen next year? Let’s take a look at the numbers; I’m using the primary zip code of 64113 for these stats:
| november 2024 | november 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $530,000 | $515,000 |
| Median sales price: | $537,500 | $485,000 |
| Days on market: | 11 | 3 |
| No. of homes sold: | 25 | 19 |
The lowest closed price last month was $315,000 and the highest was just under $5.8 million–cash purchase!! It was a house in the Sunset Hill area. Sales prices were up 10.8% compared to last November, and more homes closed. Below are the year-to-date numbers:
| jan-nov 2024 | jan-nov 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $549,950 | $550,000 |
| Median sales price: | $560,000 | $570,000 |
| Days on market: | 3 | 3 |
| No. of homes sold: | 245 | 231 |
Overall, prices are down almost 2% for the year; 6% more homes have changed owners and — many buyers still paying over the list price. It’s difficult for me to type these words: the median price of a Brookside home is now over half a million dollars! But remember, there are no “formal” boundaries for Brookside; I use the 64113 zip code to check numbers, and the boundaries for 64113 are: 55th St to Gregory; State Line to Oak.
Currently there are 17 listings in Brookside, ranging in price from $329K-$4,950,000.
