Here we go…into two weeks of holiday hoopla, multiple trips to the grocery store, airport runs, packing and unpacking, enjoying those special home cooked recipes and seeing the innocent joy of the season on every kid’s face. Is this too sentimental?? OK let’s get on with the show…below are single family home sales for Waldo last month; I use the street boundaries of State Line-Holmes and Gregory to 85th for the report:

november 2023november 2022
Median list price:  $315,000 $242,500
Median sales price:  $315,000  $257,000
Days on market:   3   4
No. of homes sold:   29   20

There are some interesting stats here; compared to Brookside, the number of homes sold increased compared to a year ago, and prices rose by 22%!! I suspect some buyers finally got used to the fact that interest rates are not going down to 3%, or even 5% anytime soon so they finally made a purchase. The lowest closed price was $70,000 and the highest was $525,000. Here are the year-to-date stats:

jan-nov 2023jan-nov 2022
Median list price: $295,000  $265,000
Median sales price:  $300,000  $278,000
Days on market:   3   3
No. of homes sold:  272  303

The trend for the year has been buyers paying a bit over the list price and prices increasing from last year. Still a lot of demand as you can see–most houses go under contract very quickly, within a few days. The number of homes closed decreased by 11%, due to interest rate hikes causing some buyers leaving the market.

Currently there are just 8 homes listed in Waldo, with a median price of $314,750 and 22 days on market.

Such a busy time of year and I haven’t been posting as much as usual…there are a few new local businesses to highlight as well as the monthly home sales stats; however work and social events are crowding the calendar!! Will start with the Brookside home sales stats for last month and post Waldo/Armour Hills next week. Here we go!

No. of homes sold: 19 19

Compared to a year ago, the median sales price rose just over 2.5%; the same number of homes changed hands and it looks like sellers were in a bargaining mood to get properties sold before the holidays as buyers paid less than list price. The lowest closed sale last month was $300K and the highest was $2.399,000. Here are the year to date numbers:

jan-nov 2023jan-nov 2022
Median list price:$550,000$489,900
Median sales price:$570,000$500,000
Days on market: 3 3
No. of homes sold: 231 273

And the year to date trend is consistent…most buyers pay over list price, most homes go under contract quickly and fewer homes have sold (by 15% compared to 2022). Home values are up 14%. Currently there are 19 homes for sale in the 64113 Brookside zip code, with a median price of $550,000 and 74 days on market.

Waldo home sales last month actually fell from a year ago–the number of units and the median sales price. However year-to-date, prices up! Let’s take a look at the details here; I’m using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St for the stats, single family homes:

september 2023september 2022
Median list price:$228,500$289,000
Median sales price:$234,000$295,000
Days on market: 3 5
No. of homes sold: 16 29

The median sales price dropped 20% from September 2022 and half as many homes closed. Still, buyers are offering over asking price. The lowest sales price was $150,000 and the highest was $430,000. Below are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-sept 2023jan-sept 2022
Median list price:$285,000$264,000
Median sales price:$290,000$278,000
Days on market: 3 3
No. of homes sold: 201 237

These numbers show us that home values are up about 4.5% this year, and home sales in Waldo are down 15%–likely due to higher interest rates and fewer homes for sale. Currently there are 18 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $277,500 and 20 days on the market.
