Kansas City Real Estate Year End 2011 Market Reports: Sunset Hill, Brookside, Waldo Tax Breaks when Selling .
The Sunset Hill neighborhood is bordered by Loose Park, The Plaza, and Ward Parkway. There are numerous architecturally and historically significant homes in this desirable area of Kansas City. In additon to the winding, hilly, tree lined streets, many homes have a view of the Plaza while others face Loose Park.
14 homes sold in Sunset Hill during 2011. The smallest home, a 2 bedroom 3 and 1/2 bath, sold for $305,000. The highest price paid for a home in Sunset Hill last year was $1,650,000.
The Average price paid for a home in Sunset Hill last year was $930,571. The Median price was $800,000. Since each home is absolutely unique, pricing must be carefully considered prior to listing one of these grand homes. Average Days On Market (DOM) was 193. Although one can expect a longer time on market for our higher end homes due to the smaller buyer pool, the DOM for Sunset Hill homes has decreased over the last 6 years.
If you are considering selling your Sunset Hill home, call 816-560-3758 for a private consultation to analyze value and condition in our current market.
There were 334 single family homes sold in zip code 64114 during 2011. The Waldo area has been a popular dancing and dining venue for Kansas Citians for a very long time. I know a few 80 and 90 year olds who remember taking the Trolley over to Waldo for a night out on the town way back when. The music and the establishments have changed but the atmosphere is still lively. The homes, overall, are more modest than the majority of homes found in Brookside so it's a great option for home buyers who are watching their pennies.
Prices paid for homes sold in Waldo in 2011 ranged from $12,900 up to $395,000. The $12,900 house was a tiny, little 1 bedroom and the $395,000 was a huge 6 bedroom with 4 full and 2 half baths.
The Average price is $123,147. The Median price is $119,000. Average Days On Market = 98. Waldo, like Brookside, The Plaza, and Prairie Village, is a popular location surrounded by established neighborhoods that are convenient to shopping, dining, schools, and recreation. This, along with friendly neighbors and strong HOA's, helps keep home values from dropping like they did in Ruskin Hills and other less popular areas.
If you are considering selling your Waldo home, call 816-560-3758 for a private consultation to analyze value and condition in our current market.
