A new year and possibly…a new home?! Most buyers want a property well under the 1 million dollar price tag; however Brookside had several high dollar properties close last month, which pushed up the median list price. Let’s take a look at the numbers:
| january 2025 | january 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $799,000 | $437,500 |
| Median sales price: | $793,000 | $445,000 |
| Days on market: | 39 | 4 |
| No. of homes sold: | 11 | 16 |
Some perspective on that median sales price approaching $800K–of the eleven homes that closed last month, five homes were over the million dollar mark. That’s why the median price is 78% higher than last year. The highest closed price was $2.6 million and the lowest was $378,000. The longer days on market also reflects the fact that the $1 million plus homes can often take longer to go under contract.
Currently there are 11 homes for sale in the Brookside zip code of 64113; five of those are asking over 1.2 million dollars. That brings the median list price way up to $679,000. Just two homes are listed under $500K.
