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 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 list price:$218,500$245,000
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.

Waldo home sales last month were similar to what happened in September 2020:  similar sold prices and number of homes changing owners.  Home prices continue to rise, of course!  Here are the stats for single family home sales in Waldo, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes; Gregory to 85th St:

September 2021                                                                September 2020

Days on market:      13                                                                      5

Prices were about the same; most buyers still paying at or over list price.  A few more homes sold September 2020.  The lowest closed price last month was $81,700 and the highest was $475,000.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-Sept 2021                                                                          Jan-Sept 2020

Days on market:           2                                                                   4

Such a tight, tight market for homebuyers in Waldo–most homes go under contract within a day or two and well over the list price. Home values are up 15% year-to-date compared to last year. Currently there are 16 active single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $239,000 and 36 days on market.

Nothing really new regarding this report…Waldo prices continue to rise, and homes go under contract very quickly. Perhaps as we get into the fall/holiday season, prices will ‘normalize’ somewhat and bidding wars will subside. For these numbers, I’m using Waldo street boundaries of State Line to Holmes, Gregory to 85th St.

Jan-Aug 2021                                                                            Jan-Aug 2020

Median list price:             $250,000                                           $220,000

Median sales price:         $265,000                                           $226,000

Days on market:              2                                                          4

No. homes sold:               257                                                     240

Last month, most homes went under contract within two days and prices up 9.6% compared to August 2020. The lowest closed price was $100,000 and the highest was $500,000.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-Aug 2021                                                                            Jan-Aug 2020

Median list price:             $250,000                                           $220,000

Median sales price:         $265,000                                           $226,000

Days on market:              2                                                          4

No. homes sold:               257                                                     240

Compared to last year at this time, home values are up 17% ! More homes are selling, for more money and in less time. Currently there are 20 homes listed, with a median price of $249,950 and 23 days on market. Prices range from $97,000 to $417,000.

Here we are into the ‘dog days’ of summer, trying to stay inside, escaping from the triple digit temperatures. Home sales usually dip in August–next month we’ll see if that holds true for this red hot home buying year. For now, here are the Waldo home sales stats for July 2021, using the boundaries of Gregory to 85th St; State Line to Holmes.

July 2021                                                             July 2020

Days on market:                  2                                    3

No. sold:                                31                               47

Those figures represent a 21% increase in sales price compared to last year! Lowest closed price was $138,000 and the highest was $445,000.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Waldo continues to be one of the most desirable locations for homebuyers this year–like everywhere else, prices are going way up. Halfway through the year, let’s take a look at what’s been happening in Waldo. I’m tracking single family home sales, in the area bordered by Gregory, 85th and State Line to Holmes.

June 2021                                                                         June 2020

Median list price:      $255,000                                        $229,900

No. of homes sold:       49                                                    45

Days on market:            2                                                  2

Buyers are paying about 5% over list price, and values are up 14% since last June. Most houses go under contract within 48 hours of listing. Here are the year-to-date stats:

Jan-June 2021                                                                               Jan-June 2020

Median list price:     $250,000                                                    $219,950

Buyers regularly paid way over list price to get a home in Waldo last month–check out the list price below compared to the final sales price. Competition is fierce out there! Here are the details for single family home sales in Waldo, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes; Gregory to 85th St:

September 2020September 2019
Median list price: $244,925$210,000
Median sales price: $257,450$207,500
No. of homes sold: 40 24
Days on market: 5 13

Closed sales prices were slightly over 5% of the list price; and many more homes sold compared to last year–and in a shorter amount of time. Here are the year-to-date figures:

Median list price: $222,500 $225,000

Ah…I am a bit late in posting these stats, my apologies! When the days can all seem the same….my schedule isn’t as rigid! As for the report, can the Waldo market get any tighter for buyers?!?! It is frustrating, having to bid against several other buyers for new listings. Prices continue to rise due to lack of inventory and high demand.

July 2020July 2019
Median list price: $199,950$234,000
Median sales price: $214,000$241,000
No. of homes sold: 46 37
Days on market: 2 3

As you can see from the days on market number, homes are going under contract within 48 hours of listing. Although the median price is 11% lower than last July, the closed price is way above the list price. Below are the YTD figures:

Jan-July 2020Jan-July 2019
Median list price: $215,000$228,450
Median sales price: $225,500$228,000
No. of homes sold: 210 206
Days on market: 4 8

Prices are down YTD from 2019, just a bit, it’s still very much a sellers’ market. Buyers need to get into new listings the day they hit the market to take a look, because there are just not homes for sale to meet demand. Currently, there are 11 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $215,000 and 29 days on market.

The pandemic has not slowed down Waldo home sales or prices!  There is still a lot of demand from buyers looking in this area.  Homes are selling fast too, often with multiple offers.  Here are the stats, using the Waldo area from State Line to Holmes/Gregory to 85th St:

May 2020                                                                             May 2019

Median list price:     $269,900                                        $232,500

Median sales price:   $257,500                                       $232,500

No. of homes sold:      37                                                     40

Days on market:           5                                                       5

That’s a hefty 10.5% increase from a year ago regarding sales price; however looking at the YTD numbers will tell us more.  Overall, neighboring Brookside prices are slipping compared to a year ago but in Waldo, still on the upward trend:

Jan-May 2020                                                              Jan-May 2019

Median list price:      $219,950                                     $229,950

Median sales price:     $226,000                                   $222,897

No. of homes sold:          125                                            132

Days on market:              12                                               13

So far this year, many sellers are getting an average of 2.75% over asking price for their Waldo homes; and houses are under contract within two weeks.  Currently there are 14 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with an average list price of $339,925 and 16 days on market. One reason for the high average list price is the four brand new homes under construction on the 7700 block of Kenwood–all priced over $350K.

So how is everyone holding up?  Grateful that we have a beautiful Spring blooming in our neighborhood!  I’m still seeing new listings pop on the market in the Brookside/Waldo area–and selling quickly.  As the year goes on, there will probably be a slowdown as many sellers have decided to stay put for now.  In the meantime, here are the home sales stats for the Waldo area (State Line to Holmes; Gregory to 85th St) for last month. Keep in mind that these homes went under contract prior to the pandemic.

March 2020                                                                   March 2019

Median list price:    $229,000                                     Median list price:     $230,950

Median sales price:  $233,750                                    Median sales price:   $227,450

No. of homes sold:       32                                           No. of homes sold:       28

Days on market:          32                                              Days on market:         14

Sold prices increased over same period last year, and a few more homes sold.  The year-to-date numbers show a decrease in prices:

Jan-March 2020                                                              Jan-March 2019

Median list price:    $210,000                                      Median list price:     $225,000

Median sales price:   $210,750                                  Median sales price:    $219,900

No. of homes sold:         64                                          No. of homes sold:          61

Days on market:            28                                             Days on market:            20

Technically, home prices are down about 4% YTD, however sellers getting list

price or a little above.  There is still strong demand, and not as many sellers are listing due to COVID 19.  Currently there are just 11 homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $212,500 and 44 days on market.
