Another year of home sales in Armour Hills and I’m ready to report the specifics! Closed prices were off last month compared to December 2021; overall though, Armour Hills is still one of the most popular Brookside subdivisions for homebuyers! Let’s look at the specifics:

December 2022December 2021
Median list price:$385,000$394,950
Median sales price:$365,000$394,500
Days on market: 3 45
No. of homes sold: 9 3

The lowest closed price last month was $290,000 and the highest was $477,000. The median price was down 7% compared to a year ago. Below, let’s take a look at sales numbers from the past five years:

20222021202020192018
Median list price:$399,000$365,000$345,000$339,450$315,000
Median sales price:$427,000$380,000$344,000$340,000$315,000
Days on market: 3 3 7 21 9
No. of homes sold: 84 70 99 82 80

The trend is…higher prices! Since 2018, the median sales price for an Armour Hills house has risen 35%! Last year, buyers paid about 7% over the list price. The number of homes that changes owners each year is pretty consistent. This neighborhood is always one of the most popular for buyers looking in Brookside, and I don’t see that changing.

Last month we had a record high sale price for a home in Armour Hills; it was a flipped property by an investor. And the buyer paid over asking price! Here are the details:

May 2022May 2021
Median list price:$385,000$365,000
Median sales price:$429,000$363,000
No. homes sold: 11 9
Days on market: 2 2

Buyers paid an average of 11% over asking price; a few more homes sold compared to May 2021. The highest sold price was $713,000, which was $28K over the list price! The lowest closed price was $360,000. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-May 2022Jan-May 2022
Median list price:$397,000$367,450
Median sales price:$419,000$379,000

Breaking down these numbers, buyers are paying about 5.5% over asking price and home values are up just over 10% compared to the same period last year. Currently there are four active listings in Armour Hills, with a median list price of $500K and 13 days on the market.

Armour Hills Home Sales Report-July 2020

No new revelations in this month’s post about Armour Hills home sales…home values continue to rise, in line with other areas of Brookside. So, let’s look at the numbers:

July 2020July 2019
Median list price: $319,000$339,000
Median sales price: $335,000$340,000
No. of homes sold: 7 12
Days on market: 1 12

Wow, look at the sales to list price figure–5% higher! Last month, Armour Hills homes sold at or over the asking price. And they went under contract within 24 hours! The final sales price was lower than July 2019, but…still up YTD, as we can see from the figures below:

Jan-July 2020Jan-July 2019
Median list price: $347,000$339,900
Median sales price: $342,000$340,000
No. of homes sold: 44 55
Days on market: 8 21

Fewer homes have sold YTD compared to last year; that follows the trend of the entire metro area–fewer homes for sale overall. So, what does come on the market generally sells fast and can go over the list price. Armour Hills home prices are slightly up this year than 2019.

Currently there are just two homes for sale, with an average list price of $322,000 and eleven days on the market.

My apologies for posting this blog a little late…the entire country is not in the usual routine!  I’m going to keep posting home sales stats as usual, as I am curious how the pandemic will affect home buying and selling.   We’ll see the effect within the next 60 – 90 days.  In the meantime, here are the February home sales stats for the Armour Hills subdivision in the Brookside neighborhood of Kansas City:

February 2020                                                    February 2019

Median list price:      $339,900                            $362,499

Median sales price:   $332,000                            $341,438

No. of homes sold:       3                                           4

Days on market:           49                                        87

Although median sales price lower this February compared to last year, home values are up YTD:

Jan-Feb 2020                                                         Jan-Feb 2019

Median list price:       $339,225                            $324,975

Median sales price:    $338,000                            $321,000

No. of homes sold:          4                                           6

Days on market:             46                                          84

Although fewer homes sold than over the same time period last year, prices are up 5.2%–that’s a bit higher than Brookside as a whole, which is up just over 4% YTD.  Currently there are four active listings in Armour Hills, with a median list price of $372,475 and 19 days on market.

As we are so early into the year, not many stats to report regarding home sales…the home buying season is just getting started!  So, here is the short report for the Armour Hills subdivision of Brookside:

Just one home closed last month, on the upper end of the price point for Armour Hills.  As is typical, it takes longer for homes to sell during the winter months.

Whew, the Armour Hills subdivision in Brookside continues to rise in value compared to the Brookside zip of 64113 as a whole.  I think this is primarily due to location, the park amenity, the range of home pricing, a strong homes association and the charm of the neighborhood.  Sales are steady, prices are up. Here’s the stats:

Aug 2019                                                       Aug 2018

Median list price:     $377,500                  Median list price:     $327,450

Median sales price:   $374,250                 Median sales price:   $322,500

No. of homes sold:     6                              No. of homes sold:     10

Days on market:        5                                Days on market:        22

Fewer homes closed last month compared to a year ago–and look at the days on market:  homes went under contract within just a few days of listing.  Below are the year-to-date stats:

Jan-Aug 2019                                                   Jan-Aug 2018

Median list price:     $345,000                      Median list price:     $315,000

Median sales price:   $345,000                     Median sales price:    $320,000

No. of homes sold:     61                                No. of homes sold:     58

Days on market:         15                                Days on market:      9

Home values are up 7.8% YTD over 2018.  That’s impressive.   I’d like to buy another house in Armour Hills now–to have when it’s time to downsize to one level living!  Currently there are six homes for sale, with an average list price of $389,975 and 16 days on market. Prices range from $229,900 to $519,000 (!)–over $500K is rare for this subdivision.

Armour Hills Home Sales Report-June 2019

As a Brookside neighborhood (Armour Hills is one of the larger subdivisions in the area), buyers are still snapping up homes quickly–yet the market does appear to be slowing down..probably usual mid July slump as so many people head out of town on vacation. Here are the stats for June home sales in Armour Hills:

June 2019                                                                    June 2018

Median list price:     $329,000                                 Median list price:     $315,000

Median sales price:    $329,000                               Median sales price:     $322,500

No. of homes sold:        9                                          No. of homes sold:      8

Days on market:          24                                           Days on market:          6

Last month, the average days on market were longer, but still sellers are getting very close to list price.  The lowest closed sale in June was $293,000 and the highest was $358,000.  Here are YTD figures:

Jan-June 2019                                                            Jan-June 2018

Median list price:     $347,500                                 Median list price:     $314,900

Median sales price:   $350,000                             Median sales price:     $315,000

No. of homes sold:      43                                         No. of homes sold:      37

Days on market:         24                                          Days on market:         5

Home values up 11% compared to the same period last year.  I don’t think that percentage will be sustained through the end of the year. Currently there are 9 active listings in Armour Hills, ranging from $239,000-$379,500 and 57 days on market.  Median list price is $284,950.
