Here we are, at the end of the year…I hope everyone is enjoying the season, a few extra days off work and more time to visit with friends and family! Waldo home prices continue to increase; there are still some “bargains” out there if you are willing to fix up a property. Let’s take a look at the numbers; the boundaries I am using for these single family home sales are Gregory to 85th St and State Line to Holmes:

november 2025november 2024
Median list price:$320,000$285,000
Median sales price:$327,750$289,900
No. of homes sold:2023
Days on market:66

Home values rose 13% compared to November 2024; about the same number of homes sold, with most going under contract within a week or so. The lowest closed price was $71,000 and the highest was $427,500. Here are the year-to-date numbers:

jan-nov 2025jan-nov 2024
Median list price:$302,500$295,450
Median sales price:$305,750$300,000
No. of homes sold:288262
Days on market:54

You see a very healthy increase in the number of homes that changed owners year to date: 9.9%! I think homebuyers are just now used to interest rates staying around the 6.25% mark. Prices are up almost 2%. Currently there are 27 single family homes for sale in Waldo, with a median list price of $260,000 and 66 days on market. Prices range from $145,000 to $599,950.

Waldo home sales are holding steady for the year; that’s good news, no big swings! Overall there has been a dip in the median sales price; let’s take a closer look. These stats reflect single family home sales in Waldo based on the area from State Line to Holmes and Gregory south to 85th St.

Median list price:$310,000$312,475
Median sales price:$280,000$307,800
No. of homes sold:2324
Days on market:43

Compared to last September, the median sales price is down 9%. Some homes are sitting on the market longer and some homes are more aggressive in pricing; that may account for the drop. The highest sales price last month was $425,000 and the lowest was $164,000.

Here are the year-to-date figures:

jan-sept 2025jan-sept 2024
Median list price:$300,000$299,000

The median sales price is off just about 1% from last year at this time; however, most sellers are getting close or sometimes over the list price. Also, 8% more homes have changed owners this year. Currently there are 28 homes listed in Waldo, with a median list price of $267,375 and 38 days on market.

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

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.

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
No. of homes sold:53
Days on market:2824

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
Median sales price:$295,410$300,000

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.

It’s An Eyesore Now — But Upscale Apartments Coming Soon!

You can’t miss the big gray box at the northeast corner of Broadway and 74th St–where The Well was located. Are windowless apartments going in there?!? Nope, that’s just the 5 story parking garage that confronts your eyes when driving by. The apartments, formerly known as 74 Broadway, will be wrapped around this garage. Interesting concept!

It’s been a very slow process getting the project moving along; if I remember correctly, the former building and car wash next to it were demolished in early 2024. Developer EPC Real Estate now says the complex will open in phases, with the first units available later next year. There will be 284 units: studios, one and two bedroom apartments, and 20% classified as “affordable”. Originally referred to as the 74 Broadway apartments; the official name now is Oberon. Upscale amenities will include a pool, pet spa, human steam room and sauna, whiskey and wine bar plus a fitness room. The Well plans to reopen on the ground level, with more space for additional retail and services. Estimated cost: around $90 million.

At the developer’s website, you can see a rendering of the exterior of the project. This is the same developer that recently opened Leawood Village on State Line Road across from Ward Parkway Shopping Center and several apartment buildings near downtown Overland Park. No pricing has been determined at this point. The area around 75th and Wornall, the heart of Waldo, is undergoing a totally new look with more parking, streetscaping, road paving and now, a high rise apartment building added to the view.

Waldo Home Sales Report – June 2025

We are at the halfway mark for home sales this year; and the busy Spring buying and selling season is slowing down. Home prices in Waldo were way up last month compared to a year ago; the YTD figures are a little different. Let’s take a look; the boundaries I am using for the stats are Gregory to 85th St and State Line to Holmes:

june 2025june 2024
Median list price:$364,500$302,000
Median sales price:$366,250$318,000
Days on market:44
No. of homes sold:2634

You can see the median sales price jumped up by 15%; even the list price is 20% higher than June 2024. The reason for this is more of the larger and more expensive homes towards the north and west part of Waldo changed owners. The number of homes sold dropped a bit; most homes sell quickly once they hit the market. The lowest closed price was $135K and the highest was $759,000! Here are the year-to-date figures:

jan-june 2025jan-june 2024
Median list price:$289,000$299,000
Median sales price:$296,000$305,000
Days on market:43
No. of homes sold:149129

These numbers tell a different story–the median sales price is down 3% for the year, yet the number of homes sold is up by15%! Waldo is still a pretty affordable area for first time buyers, which is one reason sales remain steady. Currently there are 29 single family homes for sale, with a median list price of $275,000 and 13 days on market.
