Waldo Home Sales Report-May 2019

I remember a time not that long ago when I would show homebuyers in Waldo a pretty nice, small 3 bedroom, one and a half bath home in Waldo for under $200K near 75th and Wornall. Not anymore–buyers are having to go farther south and/or east, plan fix up projects or get less square feet for that price.  Waldo home values continue to rise at a fast pace. Here are the stats, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St:

May 2019                                                                  May 2018

Median list price:     $229,950                               Median list price:      $224,700

Median sales price:    $227,500                            Median sales price:    $227,000

No. of homes sold:       40                                       No. of homes sold:      40

Days on market:          4                                           Days on market:          9

Prices rose over last May, and homes went under contract faster. The lowest sales price was $49,950 and the highest was $375,000.  Here are year-to-date figures:

Jan-May 2019                                                            Jan-May 2018

 Median list price:     $225,000                                Median list price:     $195,000

Median sales price:    $219,950                              Median sales price:     $195,000

No. of homes sold:       132                                      No. of homes sold:          161

Days on market:          10                                        Days on market:           15

Fewer homes have sold YTD, but home prices up 12.79% over last year.  There is still a huge demand for well maintained, move in ready homes in Waldo, especially near the bustling 75th and Wornall intersection. Being close to restaurants, shops, services–on just about every Waldo homebuyers wish list!  Currently there are 32 homes for sale, with a median asking price of $242,475 and 29 days on market.

Double digit increases in home values continue in the Waldo area…when is the market going to slow down in this super hot neighborhood??  Here are the May 2018 single family home sales stats for Waldo, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St:

May 2018                                                            May 2017

Median list price:    $221,750                           Median list price:     $187,450

Days on market:       10                                     Days on market:         12

Prices were up 16% over same period last year, and most sellers continue to get more than asking price for their properties.  Here are the year-to-date figures:

Jan-May 2018                                                  Jan-May 2017                      

Median list price:      $195,000                     Median list price:     $175,000

Days on market:         15                                Days on market:         26

Fewer homes are available to buy, so prices are trending upward due to lack of inventory.  Home values are up 11% YTD over last year, with most homes selling for over asking price and in a shorter period of time.  Currently there are 21 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $269,900 and 23 days on market.

Waldo Home Sales Stats-March 2018

The Waldo area has home prices ranging from under $100K for a real fixer-upper to updated remodeled homes over $400K.  That wide range of housing prices is one of the most desirable aspects to living in Waldo–along with many locally owned shops, services, restaurants and bars.  Prices continue to rise in Waldo–take a look at these stats from last month:

March 2018                                                          March 2017

Median list price:    $200,000                            Median list price:    $175,000                     

Median sales price:  $217,700                           Median sales price:   $172,700

No. of homes sold:      28                                     No. of homes sold:        36

Days on market:          3                                       Days on market:           40

Sold prices in March 2018 reflected an 8.75% over the list price! WOW. Lots of demand, not much inventory, pushing prices up.  Also, note homes went under contract in three days!  Here are the year-to-date statistics:

Jan-March 2018                                                     Jan-March 2017

Median list price:       $170,000                           Median list price:     $172,900

Median sales price:    $171,500                           Median sales price:   $170,400

No. of homes sold:        72                                     No. of homes sold:     89

Days on market:            15                                    Days on market:         33

Fewer homes have sold in the first quarter of 2018, and that’s because of a lack of inventory–the buyers are there, ready to write offers. Home values are up, and houses going under contract very fast.  I don’t expect a slowdown over the next few months.

Currently there are 17 active single family listings in Waldo, with a median list price of $239,000 and 17 days on market. Lowest price is $64,500 and highest is $385,000 (!).

Median sale price:     $180,000
