From the desk of Paul Breunich, President and Chief Executive Officer of William Pitt and Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty
Today we’re back with our monthly analysis of the Westchester County real estate market. We last checked in on Westchester with our 2018 Year in Review Market Watch, which you can read here. First quarter to date finds the county performing similarly to how it performed throughout 2018, with modest declines in unit sales and dollar volume versus the prior year.
The charts below illustrate sales results in Westchester across multiple price ranges in the county overall, the southern county and the northern county, for the period from January 1 to January 31, 2019. All data is provided by the Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service.
We will continue to deliver a more highly detailed review in our quarterly reports. We hope you find this information valuable in evaluating your own real estate needs, and invite you to contact one of our sales associates if we can assist you in any way.
