Waldo Home Sales Report – September 2023

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.

It seems like there is no shortage of homebuyers for Waldo as prices keep rising and buyers are paying over sticker price. Let’s take a look at last month’s sales, using Waldo boundaries of State Line to Holmes; Gregory to 85th St:

It’s the last week of September; I am a bit late posting these stats so let’s get going! These are the single family home sales for last month, using the main Brookside zip code of 64113 for the info:

The lowest closed price last month was $350K and the highest was $1,240,000–which was $65,000 over the list price!!! The list price/sales price ratio difference wasn’t much, 1.75% however the closed price last month was up 26% over August 2022. Here are the year-to-date figures:

So far this year, 17% fewer homes have sold in Brookside, yet prices are up 14%! And most buyers are paying over asking price. So far we’ve had 24 sales over $1,000,000. Currently there are 16 homes for sale in Brookside, with a median price of $912,000. Why such a high median price? Because 13 of the homes have a sticker price over $500K and 7 of those are over $1 million bucks.

Time to once again report home sales for Armour Hills, and the trend here follows Brookside and Waldo: homes sell quickly and often for over list price. Let’s take a look at the numbers:

july 2023july 2022
Median list price:$425,000$399,000

Waldo Home Sales Report-July 2023

You may have heard via national news that home sales are down this year–partially due to the higher interest rate. That is true for Waldo as well–at least according to last month’s stats. Let’s take a look; I’m using data for single family homes using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes, Gregory to 85th St.

july 2023july 2022
Median list price:$250,000$285,000
Median sales price:$270,000$303,000
Days on market: 2 3
No. of homes sold: 19 34

Most buyers are still paying over asking price; however prices last month dipped 12% from July 2022. Also, 44% fewer homes sold. Why? I think many first time buyers have dropped out of the market for now due to the higher interest rates. That’s one reason….their budget can’t stretch enough for what they want. The lowest closed price last month was $170K and the highest was $452K. Her are the YTD numbers:

jan-july 2023jan-july 2022
Median list price:$289,950 $259,000
Median sales price:$296,000 $278,000
Days on market: 3 3
No. of homes sold: 161 177

Looking at the year-to-date trend, home values are up almost 6.5% and 9% fewer homes have changed hands this year. Currently there are 8 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median price of $339,000.

Brookside Home Sales Report-July 2023

The higher interest rates don’t seem to be deterring homebuyers who want to call Brookside home; fewer homes closed last month but prices continue to climb over asking price–likely due to lack of inventory. Here are the stats for single family home sales in Brookside, using the zip code of 64113:

july 2023july 2022
Median list price:$535,000$540,000
Median sales price:$570,000$530,000
Days on market: 2 3
No. of homes sold: 29 35

Buyers paid about 6.5% over asking price and values up 7.5% compared to July 2022. The lowest closed sale was $335K and the highest was $3.5 million. There were three million dollar plus sales last month. Here are the year to date numbers:

jan-july 2023jan-july 2022
Median list price:$575,000$495.000
Median sales price:$577,000$505,500
Days on market: 3 2
No. of homes sold: 159 182

The number of homes sold dropped by 14% so far this year, and prices are up 14%. There are just 14 active single family homes listed in Brookside as of this writing, and the median price is $870,000–certainly not affordable for most buyers. Twelve listings are over $500K and 6 are over $1,000,000.

Armour Hills Homes Sales Report- June 2023

The home sales report for Armour Hills last month shows fewer homes closed yet prices still going up. Sound familiar? It’s happening city-wide this year. Let’s take a look at the details; I’m posting stats about Armour Hills, a large subdivision in Brookside:

june 2023june 2022
Median list price:$430,000$390,000
Median sales price:$476,250$430,000
Days on market: 2 2
No. of homes sold: 6 9

Last month buyers paid almost 11% over the asking price for Armour Hills properties, and 1/3 fewer homes closed. The lowest sales price was $425K and the highest was $541K.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-june 2023jan-june 2022
Median list price: $415,000$395,000
Median sales price: $436,000$420,000
Days on market: 2 2
No. of homes sold: 27 43

The YTD figures show us that home values in Armour Hills are up 3.8% so far, although fewer homes changed ownership. Buyers are paying an average of 5% over the list price. This is the halfway mark for 2023 sales in Armour Hills; the 3.8% increase is normal; fewer homes selling can be attributed to fewer people want to sell (and give up a low interest rate) and deciding to stay put for now.

Currently there are two homes for sale in Armour Hills, with a median list price of $402,500 and three days on market.

Waldo is experiencing double digit increases in home vales compared to last year–how long will this continue?? Certainly buyers cannot “wait for a deal” ; that’s a phrase I hear often as an agent! The best time to buy is when you are financially ready! Here are the stats for single family home sales in Waldo, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes; Gregory to 85th St:

june 2023june 2022
Median list price:$329,000$240,000
Median sales price:$340,000$245,000
Days on market: 3 2
No. of homes sold: 37 28

Yes it’s the same story…most buyers paying over the asking price and homes going under contract within 48 hours. The median price for June 2023 was 33% over June 2022!! Lowest closed price last month was $140K and the highest was $457K. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-june 2023jan-june 2022
Median list price:$299,000$249,900
Median sales price:$300,000$269,500
Days on market: 4 3
No. of homes sold: 141 143

We are consistent in the number of homes closing YTD; values up 11% so far this year. It seems buyers have adjusted to the higher interest rates as there is still so much demand.

Currently there are 12 homes for sale in Waldo; two of these are new construction. The median sales price is $300,000 and 10 days on market.
