Housing Hot SpotsThe character of homes in Brookside and the Plaza have great appeal to buyers - there are no other neighborhoods quite like these. Established trees line every single street and the easy proximity to parks and walking trails draw buyers relocating to Kansas City, as well as metro area buyers who want to leave traditional suburbs. The option to walk to shops, restaurants and general services in and around Brookside and the Plaza have become high profile benefits.
Reason to Buy/SellThe uniqueness of Brookside and the Plaza consistently attracts buyers; the current strong selection, competitive interest rates and more recently, the Move-Up and First Time Home Buyer's Tax Credits, supplement the demand for these coveted neighborhoods.

Current Market Statistics for Brookside, Missouri and Plaza, Missouri Real Estate - Tuesday January
January 19, 2010 - Current Market Statistics for Brookside, Missouri and Plaza, Missouri Real Estate

Good day! Thank you for your visit to our HouseHunt website. We appreciate the privilege of keeping you updated on the latest market statistics for Kansas City's mid-town neighborhoods. Recent sales volume confirms that Brookside, the Country Club Plaza, Waldo and Westport continue to appeal to buyers of all price ranges. 165 single-family homes have sold in the past three months, averaging just 70 days on the market. The lowest sales price was $20,000, the highest $641,000, and sellers received, on average, 96% of their asking price. The condo/attached-home market continues to offer some incredible opportunities if a buyer has long-term occupancy plans. There are currently 196 condos on the market with purchases averaging just 11 per month. The average sales price in the past 90 days has been $244,077.

As is often the case during the holidays, the number of available single-family homes has declined over the past month, leaving active buyers with just 4 1/2 months of inventory to consider. As the weather continues to warm, at least occasionally, and as sellers look to take advantage of the $6,500 tax credit before its April 30th expiration, we expect that market volume will increase. Single-family homes in these mid-town neighborhoods consistently give buyers a wide range of choices, from move-in-ready, to opportunities for building your own sweat-equity with do-it-yourself repairs and updates. If you would like a list of "best buy" houses for Brookside, Missouri or Plaza, Missouri real estate, simply send us an email with "Best Buy" in the subject line.

Today's real estate market offers you many choices and resources, so we truly appreciate the opportunity to assist you. Please continue to consider our website your real estate search source, and consider our team at your service for any question, any help, any time!
