Median sales price:$450,000$478,750

Waldo had a large jump in the median sales price last month compared to September 2023; likely because more of the higher priced houses in Waldo closed. Let’s take a look at the details; I’m using single family home sales in the area of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St for these stats:

september 2024september 2023
Median list price:$324,950$228,500
Median sales price:$310,000$234,000
Days on market:38
No. of homes sold:2718

The median sales price last month jumped 32% over last year; of the 27 homes that closed, six of them were over $400K–a higher price point for Waldo. The lowest closed price was $180,000 and the highest was $620,000. Below are the year-to-date numbers:

Median list price:$299,450$289,900
Median sales price:$310,000$290,000
Days on market:33
No. of homes sold:228231

The number of homes changing owners have remained steady; home values are up almost 7% this year and buyers are still paying over list price for many homes. Currently there are 25 single family homes listed in Waldo, with a median list price of $275,000 and 24 days on market.

Median sales price:$585,000$471,000

There was a jump of 24% in the median sales price; partly driven by three $1,000,000 homes selling last month; the highest closed price was $1,070,000 and the lowest was $305,000. Below are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-sept 2024jan-sept 2023

So we are a couple of days into October and just slipping in these August Waldo home sales stats–took a few days of vacation!! Anyway, several houses for sale in Waldo, with a wide range of prices–usually the ones that sit on the market for a while don’t sell right away due to price and/or condition. Home values remain strong! Here are the numbers:

The stats for Armour Hills in this report reflect what you may have heard is going on with the home buying market: fewer sales, prices dropping. Yet overall, Brookside home values are still holding strong! Let’s take a look at the numbers:

JULY 2024JULY 2023
Median list price:$425,000$425,000
Median sales price:$447,500$501,280

Waldo Home Sales Report – July 2024

You may have heard that home prices are coming down…and that may be true in some areas, because “all real estate is local” as the saying goes. Waldo, however, continues to see rising prices. Here are the July stats for single family home sales in this area: Holmes to State Line; Gregory to 85th St:

JULY 2024JULY 2023
Median list price:$295,000$250,000
Median sales price:$305,000$270,000
Days on market:32
No. of homes sold:2719

Prices were up 13% over July 2023 and most sellers are getting asking price or a bit over. Just about 42% more homes changed ownership and most do not sit on the market a long time. The lowest closed price was $100K and the highest was $532,000. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

JAN-JULY 2024JAN-JULY 2023
Median list price:$299,000$292,500
Median sales price:$305,000$299,450
Days on market:33
No. of homes sold:154162

These numbers, though, show the number of homes sold is down but not by much; prices are up just under 2% for the year. Remember, it usually takes 30-60 days for a house to close once it is under contract so the July 2024 closed sales likely went under contract in May and June, peak buying season. Currently there are 33 properties for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $295,000 and 33 days on the market. Prices range from $160,000-$525,000. Waldo continues to be an affordable and desirable place to live!

Brookside Home Sales Report – July 2024

Home prices in Brookside jumped up compared to July 2023; overall, prices have slipped. The number of homes changing owners remains fairly steady. Let’s take a look at the details; these stats reflect single family home sales in the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

JULY 2024JULY 2023
Median list price:$650,000$535,000
Median sales price:$650,000$570,000
Days on market:22
No. of homes sold:2929

It’s unusual that the median list price is exactly the same number as the median sales price; and consistently, most of homes that do go on the market sell fast. Compared to July 2023, prices jumped 14%! There were six million dollar plus homes that closed last month; the highest was $1,890,000 and the lowest sales price was $400,000. Here are the year to date stats:

jan-july 2024jan-JULY 2023
Median list price:$549,000$575,000
Median sales price:$566,000$577,000
Days on market:33
No. of homes sold:145159

And here we have….many buyers paying over the list price, as reflected in the median sales price being 3% over the asking price. Yet, home prices are down just 2% from 2023. The drop in price is not drastic and because most moderately priced homes go under contract quickly–there is still a lot of demand for $500K and under homes. Currently there are 27 active listings in Brookside; the median asking price is $570,000 and 39 days on market. There are five homes priced over $1,000,000 and just 11 properties priced under $500K.

At the halfway point in the year, let’s take a look at June home sales for Armour Hills on this last day of July. In Brookside as a whole, prices are down from last year and fewer of properties have sold. That’s true for the monthly report but not year-to date! Let’s take a look:

JUNE 2024JUNE 2023
Median list price:$419,000$430,000
Median sales price:$442,500$476,250

Last month, most buyers paid over the list price, around 5.6%. Home prices were down 7% compared to last June. The lowest closed price was $398,800 and the highest was $485,000. Look at these year to date figures– prices are up:

JAN-JUNE 2024JAN-JUNE 2023
Median list price:$432,122$415,000
Median sales price:$444,750$436,000
Days on market:22
No. of homes sold:2827

Unlike Brookside as a whole (prices dropped 4% first half of the year); Armour Hills prices were up 2%. Most homes are still selling within a few days of hitting the market and buyers continue to pay over list price. Currently there are three homes listed in Armour Hills, with a median list price of $375,000 and 40 days on market.

Halfway through the year and Waldo home prices overall are up, which is the opposite of it’s neighbor Brookside during the same time frame. Let’s take a look; these stats are for single family homes bounded by State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St.

JUNE 2024JUNE 2023
Median list price:$305,000$322,500
Median sales price:$326,000$333,750
Days on market:43
No. of homes sold:3336

Buyers paid an average of 6.8% over asking price; yet prices dropped just over 2% compared to the same period last year. The lowest closed price was $125,000 and the highest was $631,000–that was $56K over list price. Yes friends, there are still bidding wars going on! Here are the year-to-date numbers:

JAN-JUNE 2024JAN-JUNE 2023
Median list price:$299,000$292,500
Median sales price:$305,500$296,000
Days on market:33
No. of homes sold:128142

Here we see that the median sales price rose 3% compared to a year ago; that is a modest increase. Buyers are paying about 2% over the list price; the number of homes that changed owners dropped by 10%.

Currently there are 23 single family homes for sale in Waldo–and over half of them are under $300K. Current median price is $255,000. This could be the time to buy–more selection as some homes sit on the market longer. Traditionally there is some reason a house sits for more than a few days–just see the days on market stat in the charts above! Still, if buyers can be a bit more flexible, there may be some Waldo deals out there!
