waldo realtor: Waldo (in Kansas City MO) Home Sales Report-September 2022 - 10/17/22 08:57 AM
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:
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.

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.
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 … (3 comments)

waldo realtor: Waldo (Kansas City MO) Home Sales Stats-May 2019 - 06/22/19 09:51 AM
I remember a time not that long ago when I would show homebuyers in Waldo a pretty nice, small 3 bedroom, one and a half bath home in Waldo for under $200K near 75th and Wornall. Not anymore--buyers are having to go farther south and/or east, plan fix up projects or get less square feet for that price.  Waldo home values continue to rise at a fast pace. Here are the stats, using the boundaries of State Line to Holmes and Gregory to 85th St:

waldo realtor: Waldo Farmers Market in Kansas City Opens This Wed 6/5/19 - 06/02/19 11:38 AM
Where’s Waldo…Farmers Market? The neighborhood missed you last year!
Fortunately the Waldo Farmers Market is back for the 2019 season in a new
location, opening this Wednesday June 5, 2019 at 3pm.
I recently talked with Tom Richardson, the new Market Manager (a volunteer
position, thank you Tom!) about what to expect this year. Tom reports many
vendors will be returning this season (Pink Pony Farms, GF+1, Seven Swans Creperie among others) and hopes to have new products and food offerings join the market. What you see at Waldo Farmers Market is grown within 100-150
miles of our city and meets KCMO health department requirements. All vendors
complete an application (still … (5 comments)
