Waldo Home Sales Report-October 2022

Here we are, heading towards the end of the year, and Waldo home sales are slowing down..yet prices are up! Let’s take a look at the details… I’m using the street boundaries of State Line to Holmes/Gregory to 85th for these stats:

October 2022October 2021
Median list price:$280,000$230,000
Median sales price:$280,000$235,000
Days on market: 13 9
No. of homes sold: 22 37

Buyers are still paying list price or above for most properties; and the closed price was 19% ahead of October 2021. The lowest sale price was $60,500 and the highest was $650,000. Below are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-Oct 2022Jan-Oct 2021
Median list price:$263,950$249,900
Median sales price:$276,000$260,000
Days on market: 3 3
No. of homes sold: 252 328

So far, 30% fewer homes have sold compared to last year–probably cause is the higher interest rates that kicked in late Spring; and yet buyers are still paying over the list price as home values are up 6% over 2021.

Currently there are 18 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $364,750 and 25 days on market.

Waldo Home Sales Report – Sept 2022

Interest rates are rising for homebuyers and home prices are still rising..at least in they are in Waldo! Demand continues to be high for this area, which I designate as Gregory to 85th St; State Line to Holmes. Let’s take a look at the numbers:

Median sales price:$295,000$237,500

Most buyers paid at or over the listed sales price by about 2%; prices were up 24% compared to September 2021. The lowest closed price was $133,000 and the highest was $417,000. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Waldo Home Sales Report – June 2018

Halfway through 2018 and Waldo home values are as sizzling hot as the outdoor temperatures!  Closed sales prices are regularly above asking price.  Let’s look at the numbers, using the Waldo street boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St:

June 2018                                                June 2017

Median list price:     $200,000               Median list price:    $185,000

Median sales price:  $219,000               Median sales price:  $194,000

No. of homes sold:    31                         No. of homes sold:    45

Days on market:        35                          Days on market:      3

The main reason the days on market last month were so much longer was due to one house that sat for sale for over six months.  Most Waldo area homes sell in under seven days.   The lowest sales price in June 2018 was $35,500 and the highest was $405,920.  Below are year-to-date comparisons:

Jan-June 2018                                            Jan-June 2017

Median list price:      $197,000                Median list price:    $175,000                       

Median sales price:   $199,500                Median sales price:  $177,500

No. of homes sold:       180                     No. of homes sold:    205

Days on market:           15                        Days on market:     18

Fewer homes have sold this year due to a lack of inventory, and that’s pushing prices up–over 12% increase over last year.  Currently there are 29 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median price of $249,000 and 23 days on market. The lowest list price is $134,900 and the highest is $485,000.

Waldo Home Sales Report – July 2016

Wonderful Waldo continues to be a sought after location for homebuyers…so many bars and  restaurants to explore, along with personal services, coffee shops, grocery, Trolley Track Trail and convenient bus service.  Here are the July 2016 stats for single family home sales in Waldo, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th:

July 2016

Number of homes sold:    41

Median list price:              $165,000

Median sales price:          $164,000

Average days on market:    22

The lowest sales price was $91,000 and the highest was $340,000.

July 2015

Number of homes sold:      46

Median list price:              $157,000

Median sales price:          $155,750

Average days on market:   43

As you can see from just 22 days on market, new listings are going under contract quickly, and final sales price is very close to list price.

Now let’s compare year-to-date figures:

                                                          2016 / 2015                                                                              

Number of homes sold:                224 / 218

Median sales price:             $164,500 / $156,250

Average days on market:              15 / 35

Year to date, more homes have sold in 2016, at higher prices…and homes are selling in half the time as last year. Year to date, prices are up over 5%!

                                  

Currently in Waldo, there are 34 single family homes for sale at a median list price of $114,950.
