We are halfway through the year and there isn’t a slowdown in the demand for Brookside homes–most homes are still closing at over asking price and go under contract within a few days. Here are the stats for June 2021, single family home sales, using the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

June 2021                                                                                                June 2020

Median list price:      $482,000                                                                  $424,900

Median sales price:    $500,000                                                                $420,000

No. sold:                       38                                                                              27

Days on market:           2                                                                                8

Last month, four homes sold over $1,000,000–including the highest sale so far this year, at $4.2 million. The lowest closed price was $212,000. Final sales prices were 19% over 2020. Now let’s look at the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-June 2021                                                                                         Jan-June 2020

Median list price:      $470,250                                                                  $425,000

Median sales price:   $482,763                                                                 $433,000

No. sold:                        168                                                                           208

Days on market:           2                                                                                6

Fewer homes on the market means fewer homes sold, which in turn means home prices go up. Compared to last year, home values have risen 11.49% this year–amazing! Currently there are 19 active single family homes for sale in Brookside, with a median price of $595,000. Fourteen homes are priced over $500K; four of those are over $1,000,000.

If you know someone trying to purchase a home in Brookside…you’ve probably heard stories about how just trying to look at a new listing can be all consuming! These Brookside home sales stats for March 2021 show again how frenzied this market is for buyers. I’ve researched single family home sales that closed last month, using the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

March 2021                                                                                   March 2020

Median list price:     $427,400                                                   $350,000

Median sales price: $430,000                                                   $345,000

No. of homes sold:      26                                                             15

Days on market:            2                                                             15

Home values are up 24% compared to last March; about twice as many homes closed. Those new listings went under contract within 48 hours. Wow! Last month there were nine sales over $500K in Brookside, and one $1.185 million closed sale.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

No. of homes sold:      26                                                             15

Days on market:            2                                                             15

That’s a double digit increase in home prices from same period last year–14%! Buyers are consistently paying over list price for houses. I don’t know when the bidding wars will end–there is just so much demand. Currently there are just ten homes listing in Brookside, with a median price of $514,975 and eight days on market. Six homes are priced at or over $500K, four of those are well over one million dollars.

Armour Hills is blooming! Along with the rest of the city. Springtime brings out the buyers for our neighborhood, so expect more home sales in the warm months ahead. Even the cold weather though didn’t slow down the market–sales are up compared to last year at this time. Let’s look at the stats:

Brookside Home Sales Report-Feb 2020

Home values in Brookside are rising up like Spring daffodils! The demand for homes in our neighborhood shows no sign of slowing down. In addition, listings are way behind what they would normally be for this time of year. Multiple offers are the norm for just about any homes priced under $500,000. Here are the numbers for single family home sales, using the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

February 2021February 2020
Median list price: $380,000$359,975
Median sales price: $392,350$354,500
No. of homes sold: 16 16
Days on market: 2 35

Looking at those numbers, we see the same number of houses closed; listed homes went under contract in about 48 hours. Buyers were paying an average of 3.25% over the list price, and sold prices up over 10% compared to last February. Here are the YTD numbers:

Jan-Feb 2021Jan-Feb 2020
Median list price: $395,000$369,900
Median sales price: $397,200$370,000
No. of homes sold: 29 23
Days on market: 3 44

So far this year, values are running 7% over 2020. More homes have sold; and properties are going under contract in just a couple of days. It’s going to be a long ride for homebuyers this year….don’t give up! As for sellers, this is the time to get top dollar for your home if it’s priced competatively!

Currently there are just 8 active listings in Brookside, with a median list price of over $1,000,000. That’s because half of the listings are over the million dollar mark, including two homes, one priced just under $5.5 million and another $7.2 million. Days on market is 74, as those high dollar properties tend to sit on the market longer.
