Waldo Home Sales Report – Nov 2020

Just like the days during COVID 19 can all seem the same, these sales stats for Waldo home sales have been very much the same this year! I’m using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th for this report, single family homes.

November 2020November 2019
Median list price: $249,950$225,000
Median sales price: $250,700$221,250
No. of homes sold: 26 26
Days on market: 10 13

The numbers tell us the home prices up since last November; about the same time on market and same number of homes sold. Year-to-date figures are below:

Jan-Nov 2020Jan-Nov 2019
Median list price: $225,000$225,000
Median sales price: $230,000$220,000
No. of homes sold: 342 327
Days on market: 4 10

The sales price is over the list price, showing again how bidding wars can be common and most sellers getting at or over asking price. More homes sold so far this year, indicating the strong demand. Next month I’ll post December and year end comparisons.

Currently there are 15 active single family listings in Waldo, with a median list price of $299,000 and 27 days on market.

Brookside Home Sales Report-Nov 2020

Here we are, closing in on the end of the year and home sales–and prices–continue to outpace 2019. Usually, this is the slower time of year for home buying and selling! Let’s look at the stats for Brookside, using the main zip code of 64113:

November 2020November 2019
Median list price: $475,000$425,000
Median sales price: $490,000$413,000
No. of homes sold: 25 23
Days on market: 7 49

Last month, fifteen listings sold at or over the asking price. We had three sales in Brookside at or over $1,000,000. About the same number of homes sold.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-Nov 2020Jan-Nov 2019
Median list price: $415,000 $387,000
Median sales price: $415,000 $376,500
No. of homes sold: 287 278
Days on market: 8 23

I have a couple of comments on these year to date numbers: home values are up 10% for the year, and homes are going under contract in just over a week. Most sellers are getting top dollar for their homes. It’s been a very very busy homebuying market in 2020, despite the pandemic..and I don’t anticipate a slowdown next year!

Currently there are 18 active single family listings in Brookside, with a median price of $760,000 and 73 days on market. Of the active listings, 13 are priced over $500K; five of those are $1million or more. The strongest demand is in the under $500K price range.

Armour Hills Home Sales Report-Oct 2020

Here we are at the very end of November 2020–this year is almost over! And despite the pandemic, Armour Hills homes continue to sell quickly and, quite often, for over the list price. Take a look at last month’s stats, and how they compare to October 2019:

October 2020October 2019
Median list price: $407,000 $349,950
Median sales price: $426,250$340,000
No. of homes sold: 6 7
Days on market: 2 42

Yes, that’s a very big increase in median price–25%!–but it’s an aberration. The year-to-date numbers give you a better picture of how much Armour Hills home values are increasing. There’s no doubt though that homes are going under contract faster this year, and sellers are getting top dollar for their properties:

Jan-Oct 2020Jan-Oct 2019
Median list price: $349,000$345,000
Median sales price: $345,000 $340,000
No. of homes sold: 79 77
Days on market: 5 15

The YTD numbers show an increase of just under 1.5% for the year. The lowest priced sale so far in 2020 was $238,000 and the highest was $535,000.

As of this writing, there are no active listings in Armour Hills! That is rare, but also shows you how quickly listings sell! There are 17 homes under contract, waiting to close.

Hello neighbors! It’s a typical gray November day as I write this blog…still, much to be thankful for this week of Thanksgiving 2020. Waldo home sellers continue to experience fast sales on their properties, often with multiple offers. Here are the stats for single family homes in Waldo last month, using the boundaries of Gregory to 85th; State Line to Holmes:

October 2020October 2019

Median sales price: $237,500$178,950
No. of homes sold: 29 30
Days on market: 2 15

So, the number of homes changing owners remains steady; prices are up! Last month, 19 of the 29 homes that closed were at or over list price. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-Oct 2020Jan-Oct 2019

Median sales price: $230,000 $217,500

Home values are up almost 6% YTD for Waldo–and homes are going under contract very fast. Despite the pandemic, buyers are snapping up homes not just in Kansas City, but all over the US. So much demand, not enough inventory. Currently, there are 18 active listings in Waldo, with a median list price of $250,000.

Armour Hills Home Sales Report-September 2020

My subdivision of Armour Hills in Brookside continues to be one of the most popular areas for buyers–as noted here, homes go under contract very fast, very close or over the asking price. Let’s look at the details for last month:

September 2020September 2019
Median list price: $349,475$342,500
Median sales price: $350,750 $342,500
No. of homes sold: 16 8
Days on market: 4 3

Prices are up a bit from last year – 9 of the 16 homes that closed were at or over the list price. Also, twice as many houses sold! Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-Sept 2020Jan-Sept 2019
Median list price: $347,000$345,000
Median sales price: $343,250$345,000
No. of homes sold: 72 69
Days on market: 5 11

We see these figures are just about the same as last year–as we get into the colder months, the number of homes sold may drop as traditionally, not as many listings in the last quarter of the year. Still, very healthy home values for Armour Hills! Currently there are just three active listings, with a median price of $319,000 and 7 days on market.

Hi neighbors! Interesting stats to report regarding Brookside home sales last month. In September, prices were way up compared to Sept 2019; however, the year to date numbers are holding steady. Here are the numbers for Brookside single family home sales, using the zip code 64113:

Median sales price: $409,000$350,000

One reason the median sales price was so high compared to last September was we had two million dollar plus closings last month. And the lowest closed price was $267,000. More than twice as many homes sold as well. Here are the TYD numbers:

Jan-Sept 2020 Jan-Sept 2019

You can see the median sales price was over 14% lower than the previous August. However, more homes closed in August of 2020, including one property that was listed at $375,000 and sold for $435,000–that’s $60K over asking price! Here are the YTD stats:

Median sales price: $338,750$342,500

Sold prices are just about 1% off; the number of homes sold is about the same; however, homes are selling faster.

Currently there are six active listings in Armour Hills, with a median list price of $299,950 and 8 days on market.

Low inventory translates to higher sales prices, especially in the coveted $400K and under price point. Once again, median sales prices exceeded the list price. The stats below are for the main Brookside zip code of 64113, single family homes:

August 2020August 2019
Median list price: $417,500$385,000
Median sales price: $440,000$380,000
No. of homes sold: 38 26
Days on market: 3 20

Over 20 homes closed last month at or over the list price. Keep in mind the majority of those homes were priced under $500K. Buyers are making offers quickly and bidding wars are common. The lowest closed price last month was $272,500 and the highest was $1.85 million. One house in Armour Hills closed at $60K over asking price!!!

Here are the year-to-date stats:

Jan-Aug 2020Jan-Aug 2019
Median list price: $392,450$389,950
Median sales price: $400,000$380,000
No. of homes sold: 190217
Days on market: 8 22

In 2020, Brookside home values are up 3.27% compared to last year–a healthy stat! It will be interesting to hear how the year ends up. More inventory is needed in the under $400K price point. Currently there are 21 active single family home listings in Brookside, with a median list price of $795,000–very high due to the amount of million dollar plus homes on the market. Fourteen homes are priced over $500K and 9 of those are over a million. Current days on market is 79.
