Brookside Home Sales Report-April 2025

The Brookside home sales stats I have to report today are all over the place…down for the month of April and way up for year-to-date. Let’s see what’s happening here; I am using the main Brookside zip code of 64113 for these stats, single family home sales.

april 2025april 2024
Median list price:$544,500$497,250
Median sales price:$527,000$523,000
Days on market:32
No. of homes sold:1622

With these numbers, you see buyers were paying just over 3% under the list price for homes, and prices were up less than 1% compared to April 2024. Most homes are still selling quickly once they hit the market; although 27% fewer homes sold last month. The lowest closed price was $304,000 and the highest was $1,300,000–$40K over asking price, and buyer purchased it “sight unseen”. The year-to-date numbers are quite different:

jan-april 2025jan-april 2024
Median list price:$555,000$499,950
Median sales price:$585,000$517,500
Days on market:43
No. of homes sold:6566

So far this year, home values are up 11.5%, and most buyers are paying over list price–averaging around 5%. The number of homes sold compared to last year remains steady. We are right in the middle of the busy spring buying season–if you are in the market for a Brookside home, it’s still very competitive for the nicer, updated homes. Currently there are 15 single family homes for sale in Brookside, with a median asking price of $660,000. Five homes are priced over $1,000,000 — the price range is $309,900-$2,695,000.

Waldo Home Sales Report – March 2025

You’ll notice a big jump in the median sales price in Waldo homes last month–most properties sold over $300K, and several were over $400K, pushing that price up. Here are the sales stats for Waldo single family homes, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th:

march 2025march 2024
Median list price:$365,000$292,450
Median sales price:$358,350$303,000
Days on market:63
No. of homes sold:3329

The median price rose 18% from last March, due to those higher listing prices. The lowest closed price was $156,500 and the highest was $625,000. Below are the year to date numbers:

jan-march 2025jan-march 2024
Median list price:$286,000$285,000
Median sales price:$293,205$295,000
Days on market:103
No. of homes sold:5251

Compared to last year, home prices are lower by about .5%, not much at all. Virtually the same number of properties have changed owners and most homes go under contract within a few days. Currently there are 13 homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $235,000 and 26 days on market. In Waldo you can get a smaller bargain home or pay more for a larger, updated property!

Brookside Home Sales Report – March 2025

There were some big dollar home sales in Brookside last month, pushing up the median sales price quite a bit. I remember when million dollar home sales in Brookside were rare! Let’s take a look at the details–these are the stats for single family home sales in the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

Armour Hills Home Sales Report – February 2025

Several homes changed owners last month in Armour Hills–we had another sale that crossed the $700K mark! Let’s take a look at the numbers; Armour Hills is the largest subdivision in Brookside with about 1100 single family homes.

february 2025february 2024
Median list price:$452,000$400,000
Median sales price:$447,500$410,000
Days on market:3312
No. of homes sold:83

The median price jumped 9% since last February, however, note that many more homes closed last month. The lowest closed price was $340,000 and the highest was $727.000 ($28K over the list price!). Here are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-feb 2025jan-feb 2024
Median list price:$470,000$400,000
Median sales price:$460,000$410,000
Days on market:255
No. of homes sold:97

Home values are up 12% over the first two months of last year however…we have a wide range of home prices here in Armour Hills and when the higher priced homes sell, especially in a bidding war, prices go up fast. Currently there are no homes for sale in Armour Hills–that could change tomorrow!.

Brookside Home Sales Report – February 2025

Overall, Brookside home sales so far this year are consistent with the same period as 2024. However, we did see a dip in the median sold price last month compared to last February. I’ll explain below; these stats are for single family home sales in the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

february 2025february 2024
Median list price:$470,000$638,000
Median sales price:$460,000$630,000
Days on market:2211
No. of homes sold:1711

You can see the 26% drop in the median sales price; however, note that last February, there were three mutli-million dollar closed sales; last month there were none. Higher priced homes raise the overall median price. More homes changed hands as well. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-feb 2025jan-feb 2024
Median list price:$529,000$515,000
Median sales price:$525,000$515,000
Days on market:239
No. of homes sold:2827

Overall, the median sales price is up almost 2% since last year, and homes have sat on the market a little longer before going under contract. The number of sales remains steady.

Currently there are eight homes listed in Brookside, with a median list price of $557,900 and 49 days on the market. Six of the homes are priced over $500K; and three of those are over $1,000,000. The higher priced homes sit on the market longer, lengthening the days on market without a contract.

Armour Hills Home Sales Report – January 2025

This will be a brief blog! A quick recap of the home sales in Armour Hills for last month, usually a slow month for home sales due to weather.

January 2025january 2024
Median list price:$475,000$425,000
Median sales price:$472,000$425,000
Days on market:94
No. of homes sold:14

To kick off 2025, just one home closed in Armour Hills in January. It was on the market for a little over a week, and closed a bit below the asking price. Compare that to January 2024, when 4 homes closed for a median price of $425,000.

Currently there are two homes listed in Armour Hills, with a median price of $545,000 and two days on the market. Interesting note before signing off: 9 homes have been listed in Armour Hills since January 1, and each of them went under contract within 2 days. Most Armour Hills homes go under contract within a few days of listing–another reason there isn’t much inventory. Gotta act fast!

There are some interesting home sales stats to start off the new year in Waldo: more homes sold, yet average price is down. Hopefully the market is becoming a bit more normal and balanced.

Armour Hills Home Sales – 2024 Wrap Up and Five Year Comparison

Before we get too far into February, I wanted to post this blog recapping Armour Hills home sales for 2024 and the five year comparison. Armour Hills one of the largest homes associations in Brookside–and one of the most popular! See below:

20242023202220212020
Median list price:$439,000$432,500$399,000$365,000$345,000
Median sales price:$450,000$450,500$427,000$380,000$344,000
Days on market:32337
No. homes sold:6370847099

The highest sales price last year was $722,000 and the lowest was $260,000. Overall, the stats from 2023 to 2024 are virtually the same–steady prices, fewer homes sold. Comparing 2024 to 2020, prices are up 30.81% and fewer homes are going on the market each year to sell. Armour Hills is such a nice place to live–people don’t want to leave! That may be part of it but also–overall, fewer homes come up for sale because many owners do not want to move or feel they can’t afford to–want to hang on to a lower interest rate, or perhaps have no mortgage at all. What will happen in 2025? Watch this space to find out!!

Waldo 2024 Home Sales Report – And 5 Year Comparison

Numbers tell a story….and Waldo home prices have remained remarkably steady compared to 2023. Of course, looking over the past five years-they have increased, which is what homeowners want!. In addition, the number of homes changing owners rose as well last year, and that’s a positive sign for those that want to buy. Let’s take a closer look, using the street boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St for the stats:

20242023202220212020
Median list price:$295,000$295,000$265,000$250,000$224,950
Median sales price:$299,500$298,000$278,000$260,000$230,000
Days on market:43334
# of homes sold:300263289397371

Many buyers are still paying over the asking price by about 1.5%, and homes don’t usually linger on the market longer than a few days. That has been the norm for a few years now. Buyers have accepted the higher interest rates, and 14% more properties sold in 2024 than 2023. Last year, the lowest closed price was $85K and the highest was $675,000 (a new build on Main St). Still, the number of homes changing owners has fallen 32% since 2021, when interest rates were much lower and houses more affordable. Since 2020, home values have gone up 30% in Waldo.

Currently there are 21 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with half of those priced over $300K. The lowest list price is $155,000 and the highest is $515,00.

Brookside Home Sales Report – 2024 Stats and 5 Year Comparison

The 2024 Brookside home sales stats are in …so this is the time to see how much our home values are rising compared to years past. There is a reason owning a home is a good investment: because the value usually goes up, not down, and that is certainly the case for Brookside. Let’s take a look at the numbers; I’m using the main Brookside zip code of 64113 for the stats:

20242023202220212020

The five year trend shows us home values have risen 38% since 2020 and the number of homes up for sale has steadily gone down; people are choosing to live in their homes longer and hang on to the lower interest rates. Overall, there was a 7% increase in value between 2023 and 2024.
