Another year of home sales has concluded…and I’m sure we have many happy new neighbors in Brookside! In this blog, I will recap December 2025 sales and also add a chart comparing stats for the past five years. How much do you think prices have risen since 2020?
| Decenber 2025 | december 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $580,000 | $695,000 |
| Median sales price: | $577,500 | $695,000 |
| Days on market: | 10 | 35 |
| No. of homes sold: | 16 | 19 |
You’ll see quite a drop in the median sales price in a year: 17%! There were four homes that closed at over $1,000,000. The lowest sales price was $280K and the highest was $1,120,000. Currently there are 8 single family home listings in Brookside, with a median list price of $509,500. Now let’s look at the past five years of sales data:
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| List: | $599,950 | $562,000 | $550,000 | $489,900 | $459,950 | $419,000 |
| Sale: | $610,000 | $575,000 | $572,000 | $500,000 | $475,000 | $416,000 |
| DOM: | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 8 |
| Sold: | 251 | 264 | 246 | 295 | 338 | 326 |
Actually, that is 6 years worth of sales data! It’s easy to see how much home prices have jumped since 2020–in Brookside, home values are up 45%. Just in the past year, prices jumped 6.6%. Also note that 23% fewer homes changed owners, and it is consistent that many buyers pay list price or more for the property. This chart is a local example of the nationwide escalating cost of housing and like interest rates, I feel prices may ebb and flow somewhat but the median price of a half a million dollars for a Brookside house likely will not change. Next week I will post the stats for Waldo. Thanks for reading my blog!
