I’m just not sure what to say about this home sales report from last month…technically, the median sales price has dropped. However, most buyers are paying over the asking price–many by tens of thousands of dollars!!– and so is can be a discouraging market for homebuyers in Brookside! Let’s take a look at the details; I am using stats for single family home sales in the main Brookside zip code of 64113:
| june 2026 | june 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $465,000 | $680,000 |
| Median sales price: | $525,000 | $697,000 |
| Days on market: | 2 | 2 |
| No. of homes sold: | 36 | 34 |
Here you see the median sales price was 13% over the list price, despite the median sales price dropping by 24% compared to June 2025. Looking at some individual house stats, I saw a 3 bdrm, 1.5 bath home sell for $80k over the list price; another sold for $90K over and a third $136,000 over the list price! These crazy prices show you that a house is worth…what a buyer is willing to pay for it, as long as it appraises!! Here are the year-to-date numbers:
| jan-june 2026 | jan-june 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median list price: | $575,000 | $625,000 |
| Median sales price: | $605,250 | $632,000 |
| Days on market: | 3 | 3 |
| No. of homes sold: | 120 | 124 |
The number of homes changing owners remains steady and the days on market are brief. Compared to a year ago, the median price is down by 4%, yet most buyers are still paying over the list price. Homes for sale in Brookside range from $399K-$3.25 million.
