The number of homes changing owners in Brookside remains steady…as prices keep rising. Home values are up significantly compared to 2024. Let’s take a look at the numbers; I’m using single family home sales in the main Brookside zip code of 56113:
| may 2025 | may 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $699,900 | $695,000 |
| Median sales price: | $740,000 | $725,000 |
| Days on market: | 2 | 3 |
| No. of homes sold: | 25 | 25 |
Of the 25 homes that closed last month, 18 sold at or over asking price. That pushed up the median sales price by 2% over last year’s number; most buyers paid almost 6% over asking price. The lowest closed price was $435,000 and the highest was $2.6 million. Twelve homes sold for over a million dollars! Here are the year-to-date numbers:
| jan-may 2025 | jan-may 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $599,500 | $535,000 |
| Median sales price: | $620,000 | $553,500 |
| Days on market: | 3 | 3 |
| No. of homes sold: | 90 | 91 |
Virtually the same number of homes have sold this year as last, and most going under contract very quickly. The median sales price is up 12% over 2024. Currently there are 21 active listings in Brookside, with a median list price of $749,224 and 36 days on market. Over half of the homes are priced over $500,000.
