Armour Hills Home Sales Report-2021

Hi Neighbors! Our subdivision had a healthy increase in home values last year, with most properties going under contract within a couple of days. Prices will not be going down in 2022–that’s a pretty safe prediction! Here are the numbers:

Year20212020201920182017
Median list price365000345000339450315000314500
Median sales price380000344000340000315000312500
Days on market372197
No. homes sold7099828093

The increase in value from 2020 to 2021 was 10.4%, and the increase from 2017 to 2021 was 21.6%. I find it interesting that fewer homes sold; homeowners are staying put in our beautiful neighborhood! The highest sales price last year was a whopping $703,000, and the lowest was $212,000. Note most buyers are paying over list price.

The busy buying and selling season is just a few weeks away–if you plan to be a buyer / seller, now is the time to plan and plot strategy!

Every month I post single family home sales stats for Waldo, and each January I write a year end recap with comparisons to the past few years. Waldo home values really exploded last year, due to not enough inventory and multiple offers common. How much higher will they go? The market doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all. So here are the numbers, using sales in the boundaries of Gregory to 85th/State Line to Holmes:

Year20212020201920182017
Median List Price$249,950$223,500$225,000$200,000$175,000
Median Sales Price$260,000$230,000$220,000$205,000$177,250
Days On Market34101912
No. Homes Sold417372354370388

More numbers for you: Waldo home values increased 13% last year, and median sold prices are up 46% since 2017. (Neighbor Brookside had an increase of 14% in 2021.) The lowest closed price last year was $19,600 and the highest was $605,000.

If you plan to buy a Waldo home this year–get prepared now! Waldo continues to be attractive to first time buyers due to it’s central location, abundance of locally owned shops and restaurants, and the charming homes. Wonderful Waldo!

So we made it to another year, welcome 2022! From all indications, the housing market for Brookside and Waldo will be just as competitive as it was last year. Not enough inventory for all the wanna be homebuyers. In this blog, I’m giving you sales stats for 2021 with a comparison to the previous four years, for single family homes in the main Brookside zip code of 64113. . You’ll see home values took the biggest jump in 2021:

Zip code 6411320212020201920182017
List Price$459,950$419,000$389,950$405,000$395,000

Days on Market 3 8 23 18 20
No. Homes Sold 338 327 300 285 287

In the past five years, Brookside homes have jumped 22.7%, with the largest increase from 2020 to 2021: 14%. The number of homes sold per year has been rising steadily. And you’ll note in 2021, the median sales price was higher than the list price. Last year the highest sold price was $4.2 million, and the lowest was $212,000.

If you are thinking of buying or selling in Brookside this year–start getting prepared now! Sellers can make a plan for decluttering, repairs, paint touch ups and deep cleaning; buyers can get finances and budget in order while talking to agents/lenders and get familiar with the process. It’s going to be another busy year!

Gotta act fast if you want to buy a home in Waldo…and it’s been like that all year, even during these slower winter months.  Homes go under contract very fast and buyers usually pay  list price if not more. Here are the stats for November 2021, using the street boundaries of Gregory to 85th St; State Line to Holmes:

November 2021                                                       November 2020

No. homes sold:    37                                                         27

Days on market:    3                                                           12

Although the median sales price was a bit lower than last November, more homes sold and in less time; also more higher priced homes sold in  November 2020.  The lowest sales price last month was $73,000 and the highest was $503,000.  Let’s check the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-Nov 2021                                                                   Jan-Nov 2020

Med list price:     $249,950                                              $225,000

It’s time to report the November single family home sales for Brookside, and although there was a dip compared to last year, overall prices are way up comparing 2021 to 2020.  Here are the stats, using the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

November 2021                                                      November 2020

No. of homes sold:  25                                                      26

The number of homes closed and days on market are consistent; and many buyers are still paying over list price.  The median price is lower because last November, there were three sales over $1,000,000 and none last month.  The highest sales price was $532,500.  Here are the year-to-date numbers:
