Waldo Home Sales Report-April 2023

Waldo homes are continuing to sell quickly however prices have calmed down somewhat–and fewer homes are selling, no doubt due to a continued lack of inventory and much higher interest rates than April 2022. Let’s take a look at the numbers; I’m using the boundaries of State Line-Holmes and Gregory to 85th for this report:

april 2023april 2022
Median list price:$260,000$250,000
Median sales price:$275,500$275,000
No. of homes sold: 21 27
Days on market: 3 3

The interesting fact about the sold price for last month was 1) it was above asking price, so buyers still paying more than list price and 2) the sold price was virtually unchanged from a year ago. With most homes selling within a few days of hitting the market, buyers have to be quick to see the new houses quickly. The lowest closed price last month was $175K and the highest was $470K. Below are the year-to-date numbers:

January-april 2023january-april 2022
Median list price: $275,000 $244,500
Median sales price: $275,000 $261,500
No. of homes sold: 71 94
Days on market: 8 3

Waldo home values have risen 5% YTD compared to 2022. Note that 32% fewer homes have closed, and some homes are sitting on the market just a little longer. Currently there are just three single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median price of $359,000 and 12 days on market.

Checking these Waldo home sales stats, here’s a synopsis: interest rates up, prices up, number of homes sold, down. There is still so much demand despite the higher interest rates that prices keep rising due to lack of inventory. Let’s look at the numbers:

february 2023february 2022
Median list price:$315,000$244,925
Median sales price:$302,000$253,000
No. of homes sold: 15 24
Days on market: 6 3

Last month, fewer homes sold than Feb 2022; yet prices are way up-that median sales price rose 19%. The lowest closed price was $137,400 and the highest was $415,000. Now let’s see the year-to-date figures:

Jan-Feb 2023Jan-Feb 2022
Median list price:$299,950$202,500
Median sales price:$299,450$237,000
No. of homes sold: 28 41
Days on market: 20 3

So far this year, 31% fewer homes have sold compared to the same time last year, and prices are up 28.7%. Currently there are 12 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with an average price of #332,500 and 7 days on market.

We are just a couple of days into March…and I am a bit late posting these January stats for Waldo home sales. No surprise here–prices keep going up! These are the sales figures for single family homes, using the boundaries of Gregory to 85th St; State Line to Holmes:

january 2023january 2022
Median list price:$260,253$217,000
Median sales price:$249,875$215,000
Days on market: 33 4
No. of homes sold: 14 17

Home prices rose 16% compared to January 2022; and (some) homes are sitting on the market longer. Remember, a year ago, interest rates were around 3%. Still, that’s a pretty hefty increase in median sales price considering the interest rates have doubled. The lowest closed price was $152,500 and the highest was $470,000.

Currently there are 13 homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $260,000 and 16 days on market.

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:

September 2022September 2021
Median list price:$289,000$225,000
Median sales price:$295,000$237,500
Days on market: 5 7
No. of homes sold: 29 32

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:

Jan-Sept 2022Jan-Sept 2021
Median list price:$263,000$250,000
Median sales price:$278,000$263,500
Days on market: 3 2
No. of homes sold: 237 295

Although fewer homes have sold this year, by 19% so far, home values are up 5.5% and most buyers pay over asking price. Currently there are 18 single family homes listed in Waldo, with a median price of $275,000 and 18 days on market.

Wonderful Waldo, homebuyers want to live there and prices keep going up as a result! There’s been a big gain in home values compared to last year, as you’ll see with the stats below. Let’s start with the July numbers; I’m using Waldo boundaries of Gregory to 85th and State Line to Holmes for the numbers:

July 2022July 2021
Median list price:$285,000$234,500
Median sales price:$301,000$260,000
Days on market: 3 2
No. homes sold: 35 32

Homes that closed last month were about 5% over the asking price; and values rose 15.7% compared to July 2021. The lowest closed price was $150K and the highest was $525,000.

Here are the year-to-date stats:

January -July 2022January-July 2021
Median list price: $259,000 $250,000
Median sales price: $278,000 $265,000
Days on market: 3 2
No. homes sold: 187 233

Overall, home prices are up 4.9% this year as compared to same period last year. And buyers are still paying over the list price. You’ll note fewer houses selling; 25% less than a year ago. This could be a result of higher interest rates that kicked in this spring.

Currently there are 18 single family homes for sale in Waldo with an average list price of $270,500 and 17 days on the market. Prices range from $139,000 to $485,000.

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.

With interest rates on the rise, will the hot Waldo housing market slow down? Personally, I don’t think so. There may be fewer multiple offers and perhaps price reductions, but there is still so much demand for houses in Waldo, especially priced under $300K. Here are the stats for May, using sales in the street boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St, single family properties.

May 2022May 2021
Median list price:$297,500$265,000
Median sales price:$318,000$278,500
No. of homes sold: 26 32
Days on market: 2 2

Buyers paid almost 7% over asking price last month with their offers; and compared to a year ago, values are up a whopping 14%! Below are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-May 2022Jan-May 2021
Median list price: $250,000 $250,000
Median sales price: $278,000 $264,500
No. of homes sold: 119 148
Days on market: 3 2

These figures show us that fewer homes have sold this year; still prices up 5% over 2021. The lowest closed price so far this year is $45,000 and the highest is $650,000. Currently just twelve active single family house listings, ranging in price from $217,950-$535,000 and 12 days on the market.

This month’s report on Waldo home sales stats …up and down! The housing market is constantly changing! Let’s take a closer look at the numbers; I’m using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St as the Waldo boundaries.

March 2022March 2021
Median list price:$263,000$235,000
Median sales price:$285,000$250,000
No. of homes sold: 23 27
Days on market: 3 2

Buyers still paying over list price for homes; and values are up 14% compared to March of last year. The lowest closed price was $160,000 and the highest was $650,000.

Here are the year-to-date numbers:

Jan-March 2022Jan-March 2021
Median list price:$239,000$246,000
Median sales price:$250,000$260,000
No. of homes sold: 65 73
Days on market: 3 3

Overall, prices are 4% lower than same period in 2021; although consistently, buyers pay over the list price. Waldo has a wide range of home prices, it’s possible more of the lower priced houses have closed this year so far. Currently there are just four homes for sale in Waldo with an average list price of $284,500 and 4 days on the market.

I have some interesting numbers to report today regarding Waldo home sales stats–overall prices are lower compared to a year ago. That’s unusual, and as we are now in the strong spring home buying season, and I don’t think we can expect falling prices as a trend! I am checking single family homes in Waldo, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St:

February 2022February 2021
Median list price:$245,000$289,475
Median sales price:$256,000$298,750
No. of homes sold: 25 24
Days on market: 3 18

The lowest closed price last month was $155K; the highest was $467K. Prices were 14% lower than February 2021. Here are the year-to-date stats:

Jan-Feb 2022Jan-Feb 2021
Median list price: $233,750 $265,000
Median sales price: $238,500 $265,000
No. of homes sold: 42 47
Days on market: 3 13

You can see a fewer number of homes sold, and final closed price was lower than last year. However, that final 2022l sales price is still higher than the list price. There continues to be a lack of inventory and homes are going under contract very fast; I don’t see that changing over the next few months. Right now there are just four single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median price of $251,750.

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.
