Waldo Home Sales Report – August 2025

We had some interesting stats regarding home sales last month in Waldo–a double digit drop in the median sold price! However, the year-to-date figures are more consistent so let’s look at the specifics. I’m tracking single family home sales with the boundaries of Gregory to 85th St; State Line to Holmes:

august 2025august 2024
Median list price:$270,000$350,000
Median sales price:$277,500$355,000
Days on market:84
No. of homes sold:3032

You can see that the median sales price dropped almost 28% from August 2024! Now the homes in Waldo cover a wide range of prices; from small $200K homes through $600K. So last August, we had more of the upper priced homes close in Waldo. In fact last month, the lowest closed price was $143,000 and the highest was $670,000. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-aug 2025jan-aug 2024
Median list price:$300,000$299,000
Median sales price:$301,000$305,500
Days on market:53

These numbers show a slight drop in home values for the year, with 11% more homes selling so far. Currently there are 26 active single family homes listed in Waldo, with a median list price of $308,725 and 29 days on the market.

Waldo Home Sales Report – July 2025

As we head into the second half of the year, the homebuying market typically slows down; notably around the end of August through Labor Day and again in November. Last month showed a healthy price increase over July 2024 as those spring/summer contracts closed. Here’s a detailed look:

july 2025july 2024
Median list price:$330,000$292,500
Median sales price:$334,500$304,750

The median house price is up 9.7% compared to a year ago, and a few more homes sold last month. The lowest closed price was $175K and the highest was $582,000. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-july 2025jan-july 2024
Median list price:$289,000 $295,000

Compared to the same time period last year, prices are off slightly–just about 1%. However, 12% more homes have changed owners. This is great news for buyers and sellers…Waldo continues to be a very desirable neighborhood for house hunters!

Currently there are 25 single family homes for sale, with a median price of $275,000 and 44 days on market. Prices range from $149K on the low end up to $495K.

Waldo Home Sales Report-April 2025

The Spring homebuying season was very very busy in Waldo last month–the number of homes that changed owners was way up compared to last year! Let’s take a look at the stats; I’m using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th street for the numbers, single family home sales.

april 2025april 2024
Median list price:$285,000$299,000
Median sales price:$290,000$315,000
Days on market:23
No. of homes sold:4119

The number of homes sold beat April 2024 numbers by over 100%! Waldo is a place homebuyers want to be! The median sales price was down about 8%; still, sellers are getting list price or over for many of the homes. The lowest closed price was $197,000 and the highest was $705,000. Below are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-april 2025jan-april 2024
Median list price:$285,000$285,000
Median sales price:$290,000$295,000
Days on market:43
No. of homes sold:9370

Checking these stats, home prices “dropped” just under 2% compared to last year; yet still many buyers pay over asking price. Sales are very strong–up 24% YTD. Currently there are 19 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $349,000; lowest listed price is $200K and the highest is $674,000.

Waldo Home Sales Report – July 2024

You may have heard that home prices are coming down…and that may be true in some areas, because “all real estate is local” as the saying goes. Waldo, however, continues to see rising prices. Here are the July stats for single family home sales in this area: Holmes to State Line; Gregory to 85th St:

JULY 2024JULY 2023
Median list price:$295,000$250,000
Median sales price:$305,000$270,000
Days on market:32
No. of homes sold:2719

Prices were up 13% over July 2023 and most sellers are getting asking price or a bit over. Just about 42% more homes changed ownership and most do not sit on the market a long time. The lowest closed price was $100K and the highest was $532,000. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

JAN-JULY 2024JAN-JULY 2023
Median list price:$299,000$292,500
Median sales price:$305,000$299,450
Days on market:33
No. of homes sold:154162

These numbers, though, show the number of homes sold is down but not by much; prices are up just under 2% for the year. Remember, it usually takes 30-60 days for a house to close once it is under contract so the July 2024 closed sales likely went under contract in May and June, peak buying season. Currently there are 33 properties for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $295,000 and 33 days on the market. Prices range from $160,000-$525,000. Waldo continues to be an affordable and desirable place to live!

Waldo Home Sales Report-March 2024

Nothing new here…prices for Waldo homes keep increasing! However, I will say that Waldo is still one of those areas where you can buy a house for over $400K or even under $250K–location and condition vary of course! Let’s take a look at the numbers; I’m using stats for single family homes located between State Line and Holmes, Gregory to 85th St.

Waldo Home Sales Report – January 2024

It seems a little odd to be reporting January home sales stats when the temperature on this February day is in the 70s! I’m remembering the weeks of very frigid temps just last month. Grateful for the warm sunshine today! OK, getting down to business, here are the single family home sales stats for Waldo last month, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St.

january 2024january 2023
Median list price: $285,000$260,253
Median sales price: $299,000$249,875
Days on market: 3 33
No. of homes sold: 11 14

Buyers paid about 5% over list price for their homes and values are up 19.6% over January 2023 numbers!! Homes are still selling within a couple days of going up for sale. The lowest sales price last month was $180,000 and the highest was $277,250.

Currently there are six single family homes listed in Waldo, with a median price of $262,250 and 40 days on market.

Waldo Home Sales Report – September 2023

Waldo home sales last month actually fell from a year ago–the number of units and the median sales price. However year-to-date, prices up! Let’s take a look at the details here; I’m using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St for the stats, single family homes:

september 2023september 2022
Median list price:$228,500$289,000
Median sales price:$234,000$295,000
Days on market: 3 5
No. of homes sold: 16 29

The median sales price dropped 20% from September 2022 and half as many homes closed. Still, buyers are offering over asking price. The lowest sales price was $150,000 and the highest was $430,000. Below are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-sept 2023jan-sept 2022
Median list price:$285,000$264,000
Median sales price:$290,000$278,000
Days on market: 3 3
No. of homes sold: 201 237

These numbers show us that home values are up about 4.5% this year, and home sales in Waldo are down 15%–likely due to higher interest rates and fewer homes for sale. Currently there are 18 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $277,500 and 20 days on the market.

Waldo Home Sales Report – June 2022

Halfway through the year for Waldo home sales and the stats are showing a bit of a slowdown to what we’ve been experiencing for the past several months: buyers are still paying over the asking price, and newly listed homes going under contract within 48 hours. Yet the number of units sold — big drop. Here are the details for single family homes in Waldo; I use the street boundaries of Gregory to 85th St and State Line to Holmes:

June 2022June 2021
Median list price:$240,000$255,000
Median sales price:$250,000$270,000
No. homes sold: 27 49
Days on market: 2 2

There was a 7.4% drop in median sales price compared to June 2021 and fewer homes sold. Part of the reason for this could be the interest rate hikes that started this Spring–that can have an affect on buyers’ budgets. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-June 2022Jan-June 2021
Median list price:$250,000$255,000
Median sales price:$275,000$265,000
No. homes sold: 149 195
Days on market: 2 2

This chart shows us the number of units closed is down 23% compared to last year, and prices are up 3.7%. Fewer units available for sale pushed the closed price higher as some houses are still experiencing multiple offers for the well maintained, well priced properties.

Currently there are 13 homes listed in Waldo, with a median list price of $314,900 and six days on the market.

Waldo Home Sales Report-January 2022

Waldo home sales are off to a strong start, even in the traditionally slow month of January. If there was more inventory, more homes would sell! Here are the single family home sales for last month in Waldo, using the street boundaries of Gregory to 85th St; State Line to Holmes:

January 2022january 2021

Median sales price:$216,250$244,000
No. homes sold: 16 13
Days on market: 3 21

Although there was a decrease in the median sales price compared to last year, that is because more of the larger, higher priced Waldo homes sold in January 2021. Note the wide range of sales prices-typical of Waldo-the lowest closed price last month was $45,000 and the highest was $507,000.

Currently there are just four single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $217,000 and nine days on the market.
