We are at the halfway mark for home sales this year; and the busy Spring buying and selling season is slowing down. Home prices in Waldo were way up last month compared to a year ago; the YTD figures are a little different. Let’s take a look; the boundaries I am using for the stats are Gregory to 85th St and State Line to Holmes:
| june 2025 | june 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $364,500 | $302,000 |
| Median sales price: | $366,250 | $318,000 |
| Days on market: | 4 | 4 |
| No. of homes sold: | 26 | 34 |
You can see the median sales price jumped up by 15%; even the list price is 20% higher than June 2024. The reason for this is more of the larger and more expensive homes towards the north and west part of Waldo changed owners. The number of homes sold dropped a bit; most homes sell quickly once they hit the market. The lowest closed price was $135K and the highest was $759,000! Here are the year-to-date figures:
| jan-june 2025 | jan-june 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $289,000 | $299,000 |
| Median sales price: | $296,000 | $305,000 |
| Days on market: | 4 | 3 |
| No. of homes sold: | 149 | 129 |
These numbers tell a different story–the median sales price is down 3% for the year, yet the number of homes sold is up by15%! Waldo is still a pretty affordable area for first time buyers, which is one reason sales remain steady. Currently there are 29 single family homes for sale, with a median list price of $275,000 and 13 days on market.
