The 2024 Brookside home sales stats are in …so this is the time to see how much our home values are rising compared to years past. There is a reason owning a home is a good investment: because the value usually goes up, not down, and that is certainly the case for Brookside. Let’s take a look at the numbers; I’m using the main Brookside zip code of 64113 for the stats:
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $562,500 | $550,000 | $489,900 | $459,950 | $419,000 |
| Median sales price: | $575,000 | $572,500 | $500,000 | $475,000 | $415,000 |
| Days on market: | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 8 |
| # of homes sold: | 264 | 246 | 295 | 338 | 327 |
Looking at 2024 as a whole, buyers paid about 2% over asking price, and most homes went under contract within a few days of listing. The number of homes changing owners was up 7.3% compared to 2023. The lowest closed price of 2024 was $260K and the highest was $5.78 million.
The five year trend shows us home values have risen 38% since 2020 and the number of homes up for sale has steadily gone down; people are choosing to live in their homes longer and hang on to the lower interest rates. Overall, there was a 7% increase in value between 2023 and 2024.
At this time there are 12 single family home listings in Brookside, with a median list price of $671,000. Five homes are priced over $1million; the lowest listed price is $309,900 and the highest is $2,79 million.
