Armour Hills Feb 2017 Home Sales Stats

Posted on by

Not a lot of activity in Armour Hills in February regarding number of sold homes–however, that is normal as the first couple of months of the year are not popular times to list  due to traditionally cold weather.  Still, there was an increase in median sales price!  Let’s look at the February 2017 home sales for Armour Hills, and a comparison to last year.

Feb 2017                                                 

Median list price:      $314,500                          

Median sales price:  $314,500                          

Number of homes sold:  5                                 

Feb 2016        

Median list price:       $249,500

Median sales price:   $247,000     

Number of homes sold:  3    

That’s quite a jump in the median price for one year–however, larger and more expensive homes closed this year as compared to last.  Note that sellers are getting virtually their asking price.                   

Now let’s look at year to date:

Jan-Feb 2017                                                   

Median list price:      $314,500                                    

Median sales price:  $314,500                         

Number of homes sold:  9                                 

Days on market:             36

The lowest sales price so far this year $205,000 and the highest was $440,000.

Last year was a strong year for home sales in Waldo.  Prices were up 4.5% over 2015, more homes sold and in a shorter amount of time.  This year is off to a good start as well. Here are the single family home sales for Waldo; the geographical area I am tracking is State Line to Holmes; Gregory to 85th St.

Median list price:                 $163,950

Armour Hills Home Sales Report-Jan 2017

Armour Hills was a hot location for homebuyers in 2016: many sellers got close to asking price; some homes had bidding wars!  Median prices were up almost 3% over 2015.  I think 2017 will be a strong sales year for our neighborhood as well.  Let’s check the January 2017 sales for Armour Hills in the Brookside area of Kansas City:

January 2017

Number of homes sold:        4

Median list price:                  $329,475

Median sales price:               $327,500

Average days on market:         18

January 2016

Number of homes sold:         2

Median list price:                    $264,475

Median sales price:                 $269,155

Average days on market:          39

More expensive homes closed last month, pushing the median price higher.  Although only two homes sold in Jan 2016, one of them went for $12,555 over the asking price–so the median sales price is way higher than list price.

Currently there are just two homes for sale in Armour hills, with a median price of $315,000.

Median sales price:          $179,950

Average days on market:    33

Fewer homes sold last month compared to Dec 2015, but I think that was due to lack of inventory as demand was strong.  Notice how most sellers are getting asking price for their homes.  

Here are year to year comparisons:

2016

Number of homes sold:    392

Median list price:            $166,750

Median sales price:        $167,250

Average days on market:  21

Median list price:             $160,000

Median sales price           $160,000

Median prices rose 4.5% in Waldo compared to 2015; more homes are selling and in a shorter amount of time. Waldo is a hot location for homebuyers!

It’s that time to look at 2016 home sales stats for Armour Hills in Brookside.  Overall, prices are up!  Let’s look at the December 2016 sales, and then move on to a 2016 recap.

Dec 2016:                                                 

Median list price:      $277,500                          

Median sales price:  $281,500                          

Number of homes sold:  8                                 

Days on market:             42

Dec 2015:       

Median list price:       $296,000

Median sales price:   $298,000     

Number of homes sold:  7    

Days on market:             28

Although median price was lower than last year, three of the eight homes that closed were sold at or over list price.                 

Now let’s look at the year 2016, as compared to previous years.:

2016                                                    

Median list price:      $275,000                                      

Median sales price:  $274,500                            

Number of homes sold:  89                                  

Days on market:             29

The lowest sales price was $176,000; highest was $499,000.

2015

Median list price:        $269,700

Median sales price:    $266,750

Number of homes sold:  80

Days on market:             33

Median prices are up 2.9% over 2015, and sellers are virtually getting their asking price.  More homes sold in 2016, and in a bit shorter period of time.  

For reference, 2013 median sales price was $249,500 and in 2014, it was $236,500.  Sales prices up 10% since 2013!  That is reassuring to sellers as they are building equity; buyers can feel comfortable purchasing in a neighborhood gaining value.  

As of this posting,  there are just three homes for sale in Armour Hills, with a median list price of $315,000 and 16 days on market.

Brookside 2016 Home Sales Recap

If you know someone who bought or sold a house in Brookside last year…you probably heard stories of how ‘hot’ the market was.  Many homes sold for over list price; buyers often faced multiple offers on the same home. In this blog, we’ll look at the December 2016 home sales and a year end recap, with a comparison to the last few years as well.  Overall, median home prices continue to rise in Brookside! I’m using the main Brookside zip code of 64113 for this report, single family home sales.

December 2016

Median list price:               $335,000

Median sales price:           $329,248

Average days on market:     36

Number of homes sold:        20

(Lowest sales price was $162,000; highest sales price was $770,000).

Seventeen of the twenty homes closed sold for under $450,000–that brings down the median price compared to one year ago (see below). Also, fewer homes sold in Dec 2016.

December  2015

Median list price:                $350,000

Median sales price:            $341,000

Average days on  market:      28

Number of homes sold:          27

Compared to December 2015, prices are down a bit. In Dec 2016, seventeen of the twenty homes closed sold for under $450K and fewer homes sold. In Dec 2015, more higher priced houses sold.  

Now let’s check figures for 2016:

Median list price:         $352,500

Median sales price:     $350,000

324 homes sold; average 34 days on market.  The lowest sales price was $162,000 and the highest was $3,246,000.

2015

Median list price:         $333,750

Median sales price:     $327,500

342 homes sold; average 39 days on market.   

Note that fewer homes sold in 2016–inventory was down, pushing prices up.  Also, sellers were getting within 1% of the list price!  Overall, median home prices in Brookside were up 6.8% compared to 2015.

For reference, here are median sales prices for the past few years as comparison:

2013:  $295,000  (307 homes sold)

2014:  $306,000  (290 homes sold)

2015:  $327,500  (342 homes sold)

2016:  $350,000  (324 homes sold)

Prices are up 18% in four years!  Although interest rates are on the rise, I predict there will be a strong demand for updated, well maintained homes in our area this spring, especially in the $400K and under price range.

Currently there are 24 active single family listings in the Brookside zip code of 64113.   Eighteen of those are priced under $400K; five are over $1million.
