Interesting home sales stats for the Armour Hills subdivision last month, and year to date comparisons.  Armour Hills remains a very popular area for homebuyers, due to it’s charming 1920s homes, various price range and styles and location near Brookside and Waldo shops.  First let’s look at the monthly figures:

April 2018                                                           April 2017

Median list price:     $318,500                         Median list price:     $299,950

Median sales price:  $339,500                         Median sales price:  $310,000

No. of homes sold:       8                                  No. of homes sold:      6

Days on market:           6                                  Days on market:        13

Both months show final sales price over list price, and homes going under contract in less than two weeks.  Last month, five homes sold over asking price; one was $38K over and another was $31K over…almost unbelievable, but I see this same thing happening in other parts of the metro area. Compared to April 2017, prices are up 9.5%.

Jan-April 2018                                                               Jan-April 2017

Median list price:     $300,000                                    Median list price:    $314,750

Median sales price:  $300,000                                    Median sales price;  $312,250

No. of homes sold:       21                                           No. of homes sold:     20

Days on market:          7                                              Days on market:         16

Year to date, prices are down just under 4%.  However, note that so far this year, homeowners are getting asking price or over, for the most part.  It’s definitely a strong market favoring sellers. Currently there are 8 homes listed in Armour Hills, with a median price of $342,000 and 31 days on market.
