Waldo home values took a bit of a tumble last month but don’t panic! Overall for the year–prices remain steady. Let’s take a look at the numbers; the street boundaries I am using for these stats are single family homes from State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St:

november 2024november 2023
Median list price:$285,000$325,000
Median sales price:$289,900$335,000
Days on market:64
No. of homes sold:2327

Final sales prices dropped 13% compared to November 2023; yet you can see most buyers were paying a bit over the list price. The number of homes sold dropped slightly. The lowest closed price was $155,000 and the highest was $500,000. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-nov 2024jan-nov 2024
Median list price:$295,000$295,000
Median sales price:$300,000$300,000
Days on market:43
No. of homes sold:247249

These YTD numbers show us that Waldo home prices remain steady–just about identical to this time last year! That’s good news: still a desirable location for homebuyers and prices haven’t jumped or dropped dramatically. Currently there are 26 active single family homes for sale in Waldo with a median list price of $262,500 and 59 days on market.

Brookside Home Sales Report – November 2024

Last month, Brookside had it’s highest closed sales price for the year–over $5,000,000! Read on for the full breakdown of the stats. Higher interest rates have not slowed down home sales in our neighborhood-I think buyers have accepted that an above 6% rate is the norm now. Who knows what will happen next year? Let’s take a look at the numbers; I’m using the primary zip code of 64113 for these stats:

november 2024november 2023
Median list price: $530,000$515,000
Median sales price:$537,500$485,000
Days on market:113
No. of homes sold:2519

The lowest closed price last month was $315,000 and the highest was just under $5.8 million–cash purchase!! It was a house in the Sunset Hill area. Sales prices were up 10.8% compared to last November, and more homes closed. Below are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-nov 2024jan-nov 2023
Median list price:$549,950$550,000
Median sales price:$560,000$570,000
Days on market:33
No. of homes sold:245231

Overall, prices are down almost 2% for the year; 6% more homes have changed owners and — many buyers still paying over the list price. It’s difficult for me to type these words: the median price of a Brookside home is now over half a million dollars! But remember, there are no “formal” boundaries for Brookside; I use the 64113 zip code to check numbers, and the boundaries for 64113 are: 55th St to Gregory; State Line to Oak.

Currently there are 17 listings in Brookside, ranging in price from $329K-$4,950,000.

Waldo Home Sales Report – October 2024

The housing values in Waldo are up and down in this report; overall, though, prices remain fairly steady. These stats are taken from single family home sales in Waldo from State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St:

october 2024october 2023
Median list price:$279,250$280,000
Median sales price:$272,500$305,000
No. of homes sold:263
Days on market:2019

Home values are down just about 12% compared to October 2023; and many buyers paid less than the asking price; that’s unusual. It could be that sellers overpriced their properties as you can see many homes sat on the market longer–almost a month. Yet I think the YTD numbers show the trends better:

jan-oct 2024jan-oct 2023
Median list price:$299,000$285,000
Median sales price:$305,300$290,000
No. of homes sold:222219
Days on market:33

Overall, prices are up just over 5% for the year, and about the same number of homes have changed ownership. Waldo seems to be a very stable market, with homes gaining in value. Many buyers are paying asking price or just over. This shows that Waldo remains a hot place for homebuyers! Currently there are 36 single family homes in Waldo for sale, with a median list price of $274,975 and 53 days on market.

Armour Hills Home Sales Report – October 2024

I’m starting off this blog with an unusual fact about October home sales in Armour Hills–last month only one home closed, at a price of $385,000, In October 2023, three homes closed with a median closed price of $465,000. Are home prices in Brookside dropping? The answer is yes. Let’s take a quick look at the year to date stats:

Jan-oct 2024jan-oct 2023
Median list price:$435,000$427,500
Median sales price:$444,750$450,500
Days on market:22
No. of homes sold:5260

The numbers are showing us here that prices dropped slightly, 1.2% compared to last year at this time; and 13% fewer homes sold. Still, many buyers paying over asking price. Currently there are 3 homes for sale in Armour Hills, with a median list price of $479,000 and 54 days on market–two of the three homes have been sitting for a while.

Brookside Home Sales Report-October 2024

You may have heard that home prices are falling nationally; and that is true of Brookside as well as we look at last months single home sales stats. Here are the numbers; using the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

october 2024october 2023
Median list price:$475,000$562,500
Median sales price:$477,500$570,000
Days on market:63
No. of homes sold:2220

Looks like home prices dropped by 16% compared to October 2023; about the same number of homes changed owners. Why the drop? Some sellers are likely pricing more conservatively because fewer buyers are in the market – although several homes did sell more than the asking price, one closed at $65K over! There were also six homes that had significant price drops as well, lowering the median sales price. The lowest closed price was $310,000 and the highest was $1.3 million. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-oct 2024jan-oct 2023
Median list price:$549,975$554,500
Median sales price:$568,000$575,000
Days on market:33
No. of homes sold:220212

These YTD numbers show a slight reduction in the median price-down just over 1%; yet many buyers still paying over the list price by over 3%. If you are a home seller–pricing is crucial!! The numbers are encouraging in that most homes are selling quickly and Brookside remains a very desirable place for homebuyers. Currently there are 24 single family homes for sale in Brookside, with a median price of $760,000 and 44 days on the market. Eighteen of those listings are priced over $500K; half of those are over $1,000,000.
