Home buyers continue to see Armour Hills as a desireable place to purchase a home…the trend continues of buyers paying more than the asking price to purchase in this Brookside neighborhood. Here are the home sales stats for June 2016:  

July  2016                                                                   July  2015  

Median list price:      $254,500                            Median list price:        $274,900

We are in the peak of Spring home buying season…and I’m here to report demand is still very strong for our Brookside neighborhood.  Still not enough inventory for sale, especially in the $500K and less price catagory.  Here are the single family home sales stats for Brookside (zip code 64113) for last month, and comparisons to last year:

April 2016

Median list price:               $375,000

Median sales price:           $371,500

Average days on market:    41

Number of homes sold:       30

(Lowest sales price was $215,000;; highest sales price was $1.1 million.)

April 2015:

Median list price:                $389,900

Median sales price:            $380,000

Average days on  market:    31

Number of homes sold:        27

Now let’s check year to date figures:

2016

You can see how fast prices are rising year-to-date compared to last year, plus the median price is going up.  When there aren’t many homes for sale, prices are pushed up and often there are multiple offers over asking price for new listings.  It is definitely a sellers’ market right now.

Currently, there are 40 active single family home listings in the Brookside zip code of 64113.  The median list price is $609,500!  That’s because over half–24–of the homes for sale are priced over $500K.
