Waldo continues to attract homebuyers this year..sales are strong, and sellers are getting very close to asking price for their homes. Wonderful Waldo is HOT for homebuyers!!!  Here are the September 2016 stats for single family home sales in Waldo, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th:

September 2016:

Number of homes sold:    34

Median list price:              $177,000

The home buying season is winding down now as we head into the cooler weather. However, Waldo homes have continued to sell well, and quickly, through the month of August.  Here are the single family home sales stats for Waldo, using the boundaries of  State Line to Holmes, and Gregory to 85th:

In August  2015, 23 homes sold with a median list price of $124,950 and a median sales price of $125,000 and 29 days on market.  The lowest closed sales price was $45,000 and the highest was $255,000.

In  August  2014, 21 homes sold with a median list price of $175,000 and a median sales price of $169,900 with 42 days on  market.  

As you can see, the sales price was a smidge higher than the list price–that could mean a few homes sold for over asking price, or closing costs were added to the list price.  The reason the median price this year was so much lower than last year was in August 2014: there were three sales in this geographic area over $200K, including one at $310K.  Most Waldo homes sell for under $200K, although the highest sale so far this year was $255,000.

Checking year to date figures:

From January through August 2015, 239 homes have sold with a median sales price of $154,500 and 34 days on market.

From January through August 2014, 204 homes had sold with a median sales price of $141,800 and 48 days on market.

Waldo home prices are up overall since last year, and on the market for fewer days.  Demand for updated, well priced homes in Waldo is strong! Currently there are 29 homes for sale, with a median list price of $127,500 and 72 days on market.

Waldo Home Prices Rise – Jan 2015

Although the cold winter weather that won’t seem to leave… house hunters are out,  snatching up homes in the Waldo area.  In 2014, Waldo home prices rose 2.89%–to a median sales price of $144,000 with 46 days on market, and 330 homes changed ownership.  Let’s look at the January 2015 home sales stats for Waldo–I am using the street boundaries of State Line east  to Holmes, and Gregory south to 85th St:

In January 2015, 15 homes sold with a median list price of $147,500 and a median sales price of $151,000 with 46 days on market.  

In January 2014, 15 homes sold with a median list price of $132,500 and a median sales price of $129,500 with 87 days on  market.  

Why was the sales price higher than the list price ?   A few reasons:  there could have been multiple offers on the property; the buyer may have financed some closing costs into the loan by adding to the list price; or some other type of  negotiation regarding repairs following inspections.  The takeaway here is that buyers are willing to pay the initial list price–or very close to it–for the best homes that come on the market. Comparing the numbers, home values up 11% over last year.

Overall, Waldo homes sales are off to a strong start in 2015!  Currently there are 29 single family homes for sale in Waldo (the boundaries I described above) with a median list price of $144,900 and 41 days on market.

Waldo Home Values Rise in 2014

Wonderful Waldo!  Overall, home prices rose in this area last year.   Waldo has always been a popular place to live, and I think even more so lately as we’ve had so many locally owned  new businesses move into Waldo.  Let’s look at single family home sales for Waldo, comparing 2013 to 2014; and we’ll start with stats for December.  The boundaries I’m using are State Line east to Holmes, and Gregory south to 85th St.

In December  2014, 23 homes sold with a median sales price of $170,000 and 30 days on market.  

In December 2013, 28 homes sold with a median sales price of $148,000 and 39 days on market.  

Comparing these two months, prices were way up in December 2014 compared to the previous year.  Now we will compare 2014 to 2014 single family home sales:

In 2014, 330 homes have sold with a median price of $144,000 and 46 days on market.  The lowest home sales price was $23,000 and the highest was $430,000.

In 2013, 332 homes sold with a median price of $139,500 and 50 days on market. The lowest home sales price was $15,000 and the highest was $372,000.

So, average sales prices in Waldo rose 2.89% in 2014, with about the same number of homes selling in six weeks’ time.  Waldo homeowners continue to gain equity lost during the recession, and there is a wide range of prices for homebuyers interested in this area.

Currently there are 36 active  single family listings  Waldo area, with a median list price of $136,000 and 78 days on market.

In November 2014, 22 homes sold with a median list price of $125,000 and a  sales price of $124,950 with 36 days on market.  The lowest home sale price was $41,000 and the highest was $235,000.

Waldo Home Sales Prices Higher in August 2014

Fall is here, home sales are slowing down, and it’s time to look at the August 2014 single family home sales stats for the Waldo neighborhood.  The area I am focusing on for this market report  is State Line east to Holmes, and Gregory south to 85th St.

In August 2014, 22 homes sold with a median sales price of $169,600 and 42 days on market.  The lowest home sale was $49,000 and the highest was $305,000.

In August 2013, 34 homes sold with a median sales price of $151,000 and 46 days on market.  The lowest home sale was $44,150 and the highest was $292,500.

Average sales price is higher  from one year ago and days on market, virtually the same.  The number of units sold is down by 35%.

Here are the year-to-date figures:

From January – August  2014, 224 homes have sold with a median price of $144,000 and 46 days on market.  HIghest sales price so far this year is $430,000; lowest is $23,000.

From January – August 2013, 255 homes sold with a median price of $147,000 and 49 days on market.

The average sales price is now trending a bit lower; the number of homes sold is down 12% year-to-date compared to last year at this time. Nationally, home sales are slower and in the Brookside area (zip 64113) — the trend is pretty  much the same as in the Waldo area.  As the holidays get closer and the weather cools down–sales are slower.  There aren’t as many new listings coming on the market, so buyers have less to choose from.

Currently there are 60 homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $135,000 and 49 days on market.  (All information from Heartland MLS; numbers are deemed reliable but not guaranteed).

Waldo Home Sales Report – June 2014

Although we are into the month of August, I am reporting June home sales stats for Waldo now…as the July figures won’t be ready for another week or so.  Sales in Waldo were slower compared to the same month one year ago.  The  geographic area I’m using for Waldo is: State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St.

In June 2014, 29 homes sold with a median price of $138,000 and 88 days on market.  The lowest home sale was $85,000 and the highest was $347,500.

In June 2013, 40 homes sold with a median price of $183,500 and 57 days on market.  

Average sales price was done from one year ago and houses sat on the market longer before an offer was confirmed. The big drop in average sales price is due to more expensive homes selling in the area.

Here are the year-to-date figures:

From January – June  2014, 153 homes have sold with a median price of $140,000 and 75 days on market.  

From January – June  2013, 163 homes sold with a median price of $145,000 and 78 days on market.

So we are seeing a bit smaller number of homes sold compared to 2013–days on market are virtually the same and the average price is down.

When looking at average sales prices for the Waldo area, remember that there is a wide range of home sizes and prices.  The houses on the eastern side are generally smaller and less expensive; as you move closer to State Line, the homes are larger and go up  in price.  When several homes sell in western Waldo, the average price kicks up.

Currently there are 77 homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $130,000 and 83 days on market.  The lowest price home is $19,900 and the highest is $294,900.  (All figures taken from Heartland MLS; deemed reliable but not guaranteed).
