Here it is, the final Armour Hills home sales report for 2025…and an overview of the past six years. How much do you think home prices have increased? Read on to find out the details!

december 2025december 2024
Median list price:$452,500$499.000
Median sales price:$450,900$520,000
Days on market:82
# of homes sold:43

These numbers tell us the median sales price dropped 13% compared to December 2024. However overall, values are up for the year. The lowest closed price last month was $420,000 and the highest was $525,000.

202520242023202220212020
List:$473,750$439,000$432,500$399,000$365,000$345,000

DOM:332337
# sold:686370847099

Home values in Armour Hills are up 40% since 2020; the increase from 2024 to 2025 is a healthy 7.5%! Fewer homes are selling each year; reasons for that include housing affordability and sellers that don’t want to move due to locked in low interest rate or the house is paid off. Consistently, most sellers are getting asking price or above.

The year end stats for Waldo home sales are in and..surprise, prices are up! Well, that fact is not really a surprise…homebuyers find Waldo a desirable neighborhood and there are a range of prices and sizes of homes in the area. Let’s take a look at the numbers:

december 2025december 2024
Median list price:$277,000$275,000
Median sales price:$274,950$272,500
Days on market:1310
No. of homes sold:2224

Compared to a year ago, median home sales prices and number of homes sold are almost the same, up just under 1%. The lowest closed price was $96,000 and the highest was $565,000. Now let’s take a look at the six year trend:

202520242023202220212020

Brookside December 2025 Home Sales & 5 Year Comparison

Another year of home sales has concluded…and I’m sure we have many happy new neighbors in Brookside! In this blog, I will recap December 2025 sales and also add a chart comparing stats for the past five years. How much do you think prices have risen since 2020?

Decenber 2025december 2024
Median list price:$580,000$695,000
Median sales price:$577,500$695,000
Days on market:1035
No. of homes sold:1619

You’ll see quite a drop in the median sales price in a year: 17%! There were four homes that closed at over $1,000,000. The lowest sales price was $280K and the highest was $1,120,000. Currently there are 8 single family home listings in Brookside, with a median list price of $509,500. Now let’s look at the past five years of sales data:

202520242023202220212020
List:$599,950$562,000$550,000$489,900$459,950$419,000
Sale:$610,000$575,000$572,000$500,000$475,000$416,000
DOM:333338
Sold:251264246295338326

Actually, that is 6 years worth of sales data! It’s easy to see how much home prices have jumped since 2020–in Brookside, home values are up 45%. Just in the past year, prices jumped 6.6%. Also note that 23% fewer homes changed owners, and it is consistent that many buyers pay list price or more for the property. This chart is a local example of the nationwide escalating cost of housing and like interest rates, I feel prices may ebb and flow somewhat but the median price of a half a million dollars for a Brookside house likely will not change. Next week I will post the stats for Waldo. Thanks for reading my blog!

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:
