Waldo Home Sales Stats-Jan 2018

Waldo homes did not last long when put up for sale last year–they generally went under contract in less than two weeks and median prices were up 5.6% over 2016. I think demand for Waldo homes will continue to be strong in 2018.  Below is the first report of home sales for this year, using the geographic area of Gregory to 85th St and State Line to Holmes:

 

January 2018                                                                     January 2017

Median list price:     $164,450                                       Median list price:      $159,950

Median sales price:    $160,750                                     Median sales price:  $159,000

No. of homes sold:        18                                              No. of homes sold:       27

Days on market:            24                                              Day on market:            36

The lowest closed sales price last month was $58,500 and the highest was $295,000. 

Currently there are just 12 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $227,500 and ten days on market. The lowest priced home is $70,000 and the highest is $399,900.

Armour Hills Home Sales Stats-Jan 2018

As I write this blog, I am looking ahead wondering if Armour Hills will again be one of the most desirable neighborhoods for buyers in 2018. Last year the average days on market for a new listing in Armour Hills was just 7, and median home prices increased 14.9% over 2016. Those numbers say a lot about how strong this neighborhood is.

Let’s take a look at the stats for last month:

January 2018                                                                  January 2017

Median list price:     $289,975                                      Median list price:      $329,475

Median sales price:  $284,500                                      Median sales price:   $327,500

Days on market:            5                                                Days on market:            18

No. of homes sold:        4                                                No. of homes sold:          4

Although the median home sales price was much lower than 2017, that reflects the fact  lower prices homes sold last month.  Still, three of the four homes that sold were at or above list price. The highest sales price was $340,000 and the lowest was $185,000.  I believe Armour Hills will again be a strong destination for home buyers this year.

Currently there are five active listings in Armour Hills, with a median price of $345,000 and 71 days on market.

Armour Hills 2017 Home Sales Recap

In one of my blog posts last year, I stated that Armour Hills could be the hottest Brookside neighborhood, based on home buyer demand and prices.  I think the year end stats back up that claim!  First let’s take a look at December home sales stats for the Armour Hills subdivision:

December 2017                                                             December 2016

Median list price:       $269,950                                   Median list price:      $277,500

Median sales price:    $279,000                                  Median sales price:   $281,500

No. of homes sold:         4                                            No. of homes sold:        8

Days on market:             3                                             Days on market:           42

In both months, the median sales price exceeded the list price!  Also of note–homes went under contract within just a few days in 2017.  Below are year end comparisons:

Brookside 2017 Home Sales Report

So how much have home values changed in Brookside since 2016? In the past five years?  I’ll give you the answers in this blog…but take a guess before reading if you like! Here’s a hint:  they have increased, not decreased.  First, we’ll start with December 2017 numbers; all figures based on the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

December 2017                                                          December 2016

Median list price:     $439,000                                 Median list price:    $335,000

Median sales price:  $442,000                                 Median sales price:  $329,248

No. of homes sold:     27                                            No. of homes sold:    20

Days on market:         29                                            Days on market:        36

In December 2017, eight homes sold at or over list price, and sixteen homes homes closed at over $400K.  Now let’s look at year end figures, with comparisons to the past five years:

2017                                                                                   2016

Median list price:       $395,000                                 Median list price:       $350,000

Median sales price:    $386,000                                 Median sales price:    $350,000

No. of homes sold:      296                                           No. of homes sold:       325

Days on market:            20                                            Days on market:            34

In one year, Brookside home values increased 10.2%. Fewer homes sold (not due to lack of demand; due to lack of inventory) and in a shorter amount of time.  (Of course home value depends on many factors, including location, condition, size, etc.) The lowest sales price in 2017 was $168,500 and the highest was $3.225 million.  

For reference, the 2015 median sales price was $329,000; 2014 was $306,500 and 2013 was $296,750.  In five years, homes have appreciated about 30%. 

I predict Brookside will have another strong year for home sales, with demand especially high in the $200,000-$350,000 price range.

Home sales have slowed in Brookside, as they traditionally do this time of year. Very few sellers list their homes during the holiday season and through the cold months early in the year. Here are the November 2017 single family home sales stats for Brookside, using zip code 64113:

Median list price:      $350,000

Median sales price:   $349,000

No. of homes sold:        25

Days on market:            35

Technically, home prices were up 15% over last November, however there were two $1,000,000+ sales last month.  The higher dollar sales push the median price.  Let’s look at the year-to-date figures:

No. of homes sold:     269

Median list price:     $350,000

Median sales price:  $350,000

No. of homes sold:       307

Days on market:           34

Year-to-date, home values in Brookside are up just over 8%.  Note that homes are selling faster, and sellers are getting very close to list price.  Currently there are 28 active listings in Brookside with a median price of $525,000.  Seventeen of the homes are priced over $500K.
