So we are a couple of days into October and just slipping in these August Waldo home sales stats--took a few days of vacation!! Anyway, several houses for sale in Waldo, with a wide range of prices--usually the ones that sit on the market for a while don't sell right away due to price and/or condition. Home values remain strong! Here are the numbers:   August 2024 August 2023 Median list price: $339,000 $360,000 Median sales price: $342,000 $375,000 Days on market: 4 3 No. of homes sold: 29 27 Prices dropped 7.5% compared to last August, yet many buyers still paying over asking price--last month by just under 1%. The lowest closed price was $113,750 and the highest was $540,000. Here are the year-to-date stats:   Jan-Aug 2024 Jan-Aug 2023 Median list price: $299,000 $295,000 Median sale...

What is Hümanette??  You’ve seen the bright pink letters splashed across the windows of the building at 118 W 63rd St, formerly the home of Brookside Barkery & Bath.  It’s not a restaurant or bar or boutique; technically you could say it has aspects of all three of those things!  Hümanette is a space for kids to play while parents and caregivers socialize and work. It’s a unique concept that our neighborhood has been enthusiastically welcomed!I stopped by recently to talk with Jamie Hickey, Co-Founder and Head of Operations, about her new business. Jamie explained was inspired by the European way of raising children where “kids are more incorporated into adults’ lives.  We want everyone to feel welcome here, not just children, or people with children”.  Designed for youngsters from 0-6 ...

Finally.....City Barrel Pizza + Patio has opened it's new location, straddling the unofficial boundary of Brookside and Waldo at 120 E Gregory, in the former Bier Station space. Well friends, it was worth the wait, because this place has the similar beloved vibe of Bier Station with a few extra amenities. You've probably noticed the large, brand new patio built right in front of the space, now featuring more shade, plenty of tables, swings that face street and outdoor games for the kids. Our neighborhood loves a good patio, and this is one of the best around--plus dogs are welcome! Inside the newly remodeled space, you'll see a few tomato red booths, the same long (full) bar with several City Barrel brew offerings, an upstairs room for private parties and and an expanded menu.

There is a beautiful, large old brick building on Main St in Waldo you have probably driven by many times...perhaps you wondered, what is this place?  Surrounded by residential homes and across from a church, Kansas City Academy is an arts focused middle and high school, located at 7933 Main St.  KCA has a 40th birthday this year, and everyone is invited to celebrate with them.  I stopped by the school earlier this summer and spoke with Development Director Katie Wells to find out more about this unique school.KCA was started by a group of runs and lay persons when Loretto Academy in Westport closed.  The Loretto (now an event venue) was a girls only day/boarding school with a reputation for personalized educational instruction and religious and racial tolerance.  The original KCA found...

My Thoughts On The Recent NAR SettlementHi, and thanks for joining me.  I’m Tim Tanz, with Platinum Realty of St Louis.  Today, I just wanted to share some information and my thoughts on the recent proposed NAR Settlement.  There’s a lot of mis-information out there regarding this settlement, and I’ve done a lot of reading on this to try to educate myself on what is going on, so I can better inform my buyer and seller clients.    Now, this is just a proposed settlement.  It’s subject to court approval.  And if approved, it’s supposed to take effect around mid-July.The Sitzer-Burnett Lawsuit was a class action lawsuit brought by a group of Sellers against the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and some of the largest real estate brokerages in the country.  The plaintiffs argued that ...
