Brookside Home Sales Report-August 2021

Greetings, neighbors! In today’s report, some interesting news: it’s not just the moderately priced homes that have multiple offers and sell over asking price–as last month’s stats show, big spenders in Brookside are willing to spend way, way over the list price when they want a home. These are the sales figures for Brookside, using the main Brookside zip code of 64113, single family homes:

August 2021                                                                               August 2020

Median list price:     $507,450                                                   $417,500

Median sales price: $507,500                                                   $440,000

Days on market:              3                                                            3

No. homes sold:               30                                                        38

Home values were up 15% compared to August 2020. The median sales price is high because eighteen homes sold at or over the list price, including at least two homes that sold for over $100K beyond the list price! The lowest closed price last month was $247,000.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-Aug 2021                                                                             Jan-August 2020

Median list price:      $467.748                                                  $392,450

Median sales price:  $482,763                                                  $400,000

Days on market:              2                                                            8

No. homes sold:               226                                                     190

More homes have sold at this point in the year as compared to 2020, and overall, prices up 20%! Most homes go under contract within 48 hours of listing. I think as we get into the colder weather and even less inventory, prices may stabilize. Currently there are 26 homes listed in Brookside, with a median price of $535,000. Over half the homes are priced over $500K, including 5 that are over $1,000,000.

One of the reasons I love Brookside is this: all the homes are unique and charming in some way; you can buy a $250K fixxer upper or a mini mansion for $800K. My new listing at 5824 Central sits in the pricing middle and offers the best of both worlds: lots of original charm with today’s updates!

Such a beautiful front porch! Just imagine enjoying a warm summer evening, relaxing on the porch swing with a cool beverage, waving at the passers-by. Or, walk a few blocks south to the Brookside shops for browsing, dinner, happy hour or a quick grocery run.

This house is just as attractive on the inside. Step inside the front door to an open floor plan: the living room flows into the dining room, and the dining room opens into the newly remodeled kitchen. Notice the gas fireplace with new mantle and arched tile!

On to the kitchen..totally renovated by award winning Deatherage Home Designs! Plenty of cooking space here, with lots of cabinets, gas stove, new appliances and eat in curved countertop. Newer windows throughout most of the house!

There are three bedrooms and two full baths in this home; one bedroom and bath on first floor; second floor has master suite, and another bedroom that opens to an office nook. Outside the back door, sellers have built a new deck with dining and lounge area, hot tub, and pergola. Private drive and two car garage as well!

Pride of ownership shows in this house–sellers have meticulously maintained it through the years. Offered at $425,000. Contact me for more information! 816 510 1262.

Brookside Home Sales Report-June 2020

We are halfway through 2020, and despite the ongoing pandemic, Brookside home values are up–and down. Looking at monthly comparison (June 2020 to June 2019), prices are higher. There was a dip in the YTD figures. Here are the details, checking single family home sales in the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

June 2020June 2019
Median list price: $424,900$369,000
Median sales price: $420,000$370,000
No. of homes sold: 2731
Days on market: 811
  

Last month, prices were up 13.5% over June 2019. Eleven homes listed at over $500,000 closed, and just a few less homes sold this year. Let’s take a look at the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-June 2020Jan-June 2019
Median list price: $379,000$395,000
Median sales price: $378,000$389,807
No. of homes sold: 119154
Days on market: 1028
  

Home values are down 3% compared to 2019. Note, however, during the first half of 20919 there were seven $1million+ homes that closed; this year just one so far. Also, 22% fewer homes sold but I think that’s because of COVID 19. Many sellers decided to delay, or not list during the usually busy spring season. We are seeing more homes hit the market now. Interest rates are so low –below 3%!–that I think sales in the $500K and under category could be very strong for the next few months.

Currently there are 30 active single family homes for sale in Brookside; 13 of those are priced over $1,000,000.

Brookside Home Sales Report-May 2020

Three months into the pandemic and home sales in Brookside and Waldo are strong…for those updated homes priced under $400K.  Still, values have slipped since last year.  Let’s take a look at the specific numbers, using the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

May 2020                                                                May 2019

Median list price:     $368,000                             $424,900

Median sales price:   $371,500                            $422,500

No. of homes sold:      32                                         40

Days on market:          4                                            22

Several of the homes that closed last month were at or above list price; five homes priced over $500K sold quickly.  Still, prices were a little lower and fewer homes sold–probably because some sellers decided to stay put during the coronavirus emergency.

Checking year-to-date stats:

Jan-May 2020                                                          Jan-May 2019

Median list price:     $368,000                               $399,950

Median sales price:  $370,000                               $395,000

No. of homes sold:         92                                       123

Days on market:             13                                        34

Sellers are still getting very close to list price, even though values have dropped a bit. Homes are selling quickly after going on the market–again, those in the under $400K price range.  Currently there are 39 active listings in Brookside, with 25 homes priced over $500,000 and 13 of those over $1 million.

Brookside Home Sales Report-Jan 2020

This is going to be a quick blog, as I start 2020 reporting home stats.  I will just be posting January numbers with comparisons to 2019–as there is no YTD figures until next month.

So, here are the figures for single family home sales in Brookside, using the zip code of 64113:

January 2020                                                               January 2019

Median list price:  $415,000                                         $350,000

Median sales price:  $400,000                                      $339,000

No. of homes sold:        7                                                  10

Days on market:          44                                                  31

Prices took a significant jump but with so few homes selling, I think the more expensive homes went under contract last month.  Fewer homes did close compared to last January, and they sat on the market longer.  As we get into the warmer weather, more listings will come on –and more sales will follow!

Currently there are 22 active listings, with a median list price of $519,450 and 87 days on market.  Prices range from $289,000 to $7.7 million.  Half of the homes for sale are at $500,000 or higher; six priced over $1 million.

Brookside Home Sales Report-Oct 2019

Home sales are slowing down as the holidays get closer–very typical trend for the housing market.  Right now in Brookside, more than half the homes for sale are priced over $500,000–several over one million dollars.  Let’s check the numbers for single family home sales, using the main Brookside zip code of 64113:

October 2019                                                      October 2018

Median list price:     $357,450                         Median list price:     $429,000

Median sales price:   $346,500                        Median sales price:   $430,000

No. of homes sold:       20                                 No. of homes sold:     26

Days on market:          24                                   Days on market:          3

That’s quite a drop in the median sales price but remember, we have such a huge range of prices in Brookside, when more expensive homes sell, the median price rises.  The highest closed sale last month was $911,500 and the lowest was $248,400.

Here are the year-to-date stats:

Jan-Oct 2019                                                         Jan-Oct 2018

Median list price:     $385,000                           Median list price:     $399,975

Median sales price:  $376,000                           Median sales price:    $394,500

No. of homes sold:      255                                 No. of homes sold:      250

Days on market:          21                                    Days on market:        15

Overall, median prices have dropped 4.6% compared to this time last year, however I think the year end totals will show an increase overall.  There are 36 active single family listings in Brookside, with a median list price of $527,000 and 58 days on  market.  Most of the homes are priced at $500K or above; ten are over $1,000,000. The most expensive listing is $7.7 million on the 1200 block of W 55th St–comes with a huge estate lot, a tennis court and pool..oh if only the walls could tell stories about that place!

We are halfway through the year…how are Brookside home sales holding up compared to last year?  Sales are still strong and prices up.  Read on for details…I am using the main Brookside zip code of 64113 (State Line to Oak; 55th to Gregory) for these stats.

June 2019                                                           June 2018

Median sales price was down almost 7% compared to last year…however, in June 2018 there were three million dollar sales (just one last month) and more homes sold.  Still, many sellers getting at or over asking price!  Here are the YTD figures:

Jan-June 2019                                                       Jan-June 2018

Median list price:      $395,000                          Median list price:       $399,450

More homes are selling in Brookside this year, and at higher prices.  Our neighborhood is still a very strong attraction for homebuyers!  Here are the May sales stats for single family homes in the primary Brookside zip code  of 64113:
