54 of 105 homes (51.4%) sold within a week and 79 (75.2%) sold within 30 days. Only 10 homes took longer than 60 days. The gap between the median and average comes from those slower listings.

Is Brookfield a good place to invest in real estate?

That kind of demand and quick turnover is what investors look for, and the average home sold for $288,129.

Brookfield Topeka Real Estate Market Overview

Over the past two years, Brookfield recorded 105 closed sales with an average sold price of $288,129 and a median of $299,950. Homes sold in an average of 19.3 days, and the typical sale took just 6 days.

Sellers received 99.4% of their list price on average, and 58.1% of homes sold at or above it. That is a market where pricing discipline pays off without tipping into bidding-war territory. Only 8 homes sold 5% or more above list price.

The average sits below the median because a handful of low-end sales pull it down, most notably one $121,300 sale. Three sales fell outside the typical price range by a standard statistical test: that $121,300 sale and two upper-end sales at $474,900 and $500,000. Without those three, the average is $285,856, so the overall picture holds either way.

Overall, Brookfield reads as a seller-leaning, balanced market with steady demand and growing sales activity.

Brookfield Home Styles: Prices and Speed Compared

Style-level numbers with fewer than about 8 sales are directional rather than definitive, and the single raised ranch sale is shown for completeness only.

Ranch Homes in Brookfield

Ranches are the backbone of the neighborhood: 57 sales at an average of $286,968, selling in 18.7 days on average and at 99.7% of list. Ranch homes sell about 3.3% faster than the neighborhood average of 19.3 days, and they cost about $20,906 less than 1.5 story homes.

These had the highest average at $307,874 across 19 sales. That is approximately 7.3% more than ranch homes. They took 22.5 days on average, about 16.4% slower than the neighborhood average, so buyers have a bit more time to decide.

They sold in 15.4 days, about 20.2% faster than average, though at 95.9% of list price they left more room for buyer negotiation than any other style.

What This Means for You in Brookfield

If You're Buying in Brookfield

Offer strategy: With homes selling at 99.4% of list, a full-price offer on a fairly priced home is realistic. About one in three homes sold above list, averaging $7,361 over, so a well-priced listing may call for a strong first offer. Homes that have already sat 30 days or more, or taken a price cut, are where negotiation room tends to show up.

Financing: Get your pre-approval in hand before you start touring. With 51.4% of homes selling within a week, there is little time to line up financing after you find the right house.

Urgency and leverage: The typical home sold in 6 days, so plan to decide fast. Ask about closing cost help: 30.5% of sellers offered it, averaging $4,682.

If You're Selling in Brookfield

Pricing: This is the biggest lever you have. Homes that never needed a price cut averaged 7.8 days on the market. Homes that did averaged 52.6. Price it right at the start and you protect both your timeline and your final number.

Preparation: Homes in the neighborhood sell quickly, so photos, cleaning, and repairs should be done before the sign goes up, not after the first showings.

Concessions: Be ready for the conversation, but do not assume you need to offer it. About 30% of sellers helped with closing costs, and the average amount has been shrinking.

Timing: Homes listed from March through July averaged 9.7 days on market and sold for 99.9% of list price, compared with 28.4 days and 98.8% for the rest of the year.

Looking Ahead for Brookfield

Price growth of 3.5% with rising sales volume looks sustainable. The neighborhood's appeal is easy to see in the data: mostly ranch-style homes built around 1987, lots averaging about 0.28 acres, finished lower levels, and two-car garages. At the time of this report, 3 Brookfield homes were active and 5 were under contract, so activity is continuing into the fall. These are not part of the figures above, which cover closed sales only.
