As we head into the second half of the year, the homebuying market typically slows down; notably around the end of August through Labor Day and again in November. Last month showed a healthy price increase over July 2024 as those spring/summer contracts closed. Here’s a detailed look:

july 2025july 2024
Median list price:$330,000$292,500
Median sales price:$334,500$304,750
No. of homes sold:53
Days on market:2824

The median house price is up 9.7% compared to a year ago, and a few more homes sold last month. The lowest closed price was $175K and the highest was $582,000. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-july 2025jan-july 2024
Median list price:$289,000 $295,000
Median sales price:$295,410$300,000
No. of homes sold:33
Days on market:175156

Compared to the same time period last year, prices are off slightly–just about 1%. However, 12% more homes have changed owners. This is great news for buyers and sellers…Waldo continues to be a very desirable neighborhood for house hunters!

Currently there are 25 single family homes for sale, with a median price of $275,000 and 44 days on market. Prices range from $149K on the low end up to $495K.

Brookside Home Sales Report-July 2025

Sometimes, I just don’t know what to say about these house prices. When buyers go so far over the list price, it inflates the market, messes with the comps and pushes housing prices ever higher. Overall, it’s a positive sign that Brookside home prices are steadily increasing! Last month, there was a house listed at $725K that closed at $105K over that price: $830,000. Another home, on Walnut, was listed at $695K and closed at $825,000. Both were fabulous houses, yet still…you know the saying: a house is worth what the buyer is willing to pay for it. And some buyers have the means to pay whatever it takes. Let’s look at the details for Brookside home sales last month in the zip of 64113:

july 2025july 2024
Median list price:$657,000$650,000
Median sales price:$665,000$650,000
Days on market:22
No. of homes sold:2429

Prices were up 2.3% over last July, and most buyers paid around 1% over asking price. The lowest closed price was $295,000 and the highest was $2.2 million. Even that $2.2 million dollar sale closed at $100K over list price! Here are the year-to-date figures:

jan-july 2025jan-july 2024
Median list price:$630,000$549,000
Median sales price:$642,000$566,000
Days on market:33
No. of homes sold:148145

Here you can see how those bidding wars can lead to big gaps in list vs sales price. Compared to a year ago, the median sales price is up 13.4%! About the same number of homes are changing owners, and most houses go under contract within a couple of days of listing. So far this year, there have been 18 million dollar plus sales in Brookside.

Currently there are 18 single family homes in Brookside. The lowest list price is $375,000 and the highest is $1,050,000–for a house on the 5800 block of McGee!!

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 2025june 2024
Median list price:$364,500$302,000
Median sales price:$366,250$318,000
Days on market:44
No. of homes sold:2634

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 2025jan-june 2024
Median list price:$289,000$299,000
Median sales price:$296,000$305,000
Days on market:43
No. of homes sold:149129

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.

Here we are, halfway through the year and Brookside home sales are not slowing down–every the million dollar plus properties go under contract quickly! Let’s take a look at the numbers; I’m using the primary Brookside zip code of 64113 for these stats:

june 2025june 2024
Median list price:$685,000$575,000
Median sales price:$725,000$585,000
Days on market:32
No. of homes sold:3325

The median sales price jumped up quite a bit: nearly 24%! We had seven homes sold last month over $1,000,000 which pushed up that median price; in June 2024, just one home closed over a million. The lowest closed price was $345,000 and the highest was $2,050,000. One home on McGee was listed at $685K; it sold for $725,000 sight unseeen.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-june 2025jan-june 2024
Median list price:$625,000$537,475
Median sales price:$635,000$553,500
Days on market:33
No. of homes sold:123116

Because there have been so many higher priced homes selling, the median sales price is up 14.7% compared to last year; 6% more homes have sold this year. Is this trend now the norm: most buyers pay list price or above….?

Currently there are 18 homes for sale in the Brookside zip of 64113; median list price is $567,000 and 38 days on the market.
