The Westchester County single-family median sale price was $1,240,000 in the second quarter of 2026, up 15.3 percent from $1,075,000 in Q2 2025, according to Houlihan Lawrence’s report published July 13, 2026. The condominium median was $575,000, up 7.7 percent, and the co-op median $235,000, up 6.8 percent. Individual communities vary widely around the county figure, with Bronxville’s single-family median around $3.0 million, Scarsdale’s around $2.5 million and Rye’s around $2.2 million.

Yes, across every residential category. In Q2 2026 the single-family median rose 15.3 percent year over year to $1,240,000, condominiums rose 7.7 percent to $575,000, and co-ops rose 6.8 percent to $235,000. Volume moved differently by segment: single-family sales fell 7.8 percent to 1,075 and co-op sales eased to 379, while condominium sales rose to 341. Prices rising on lower single-family volume indicates the homes that do transact are transacting well.

It is moving toward balance from a seller’s market. Houlihan Lawrence characterised the Q2 2026 market as gradually becoming more balanced, with buyers benefiting from increased selection while sellers who price strategically and present well continue to achieve strong results. Single-family sales volume fell 7.8 percent year over year, which means less competition on any given property, but median prices still rose 15.3 percent, so buyers should not expect broad discounts.

Single-family sales fell 7.8 percent to 1,075 in Q2 2026 while the median rose 15.3 percent to $1,240,000. Two effects contribute. Fewer transactions can shift the mix toward higher-priced homes, lifting the median without every individual property appreciating at that rate. And genuine price strength in a supply-constrained market raises values in reality. Both are partly true, which is why a county median should be read as market context rather than as a valuation of any specific home.

The attached market. The Westchester co-op median was $235,000 in Q2 2026 and the condominium median $575,000, against a single-family median of $1,240,000. Bronxville, one of the county’s most expensive villages at a roughly $3.0 million single-family median, has co-op entry points around $300,000. Buyers focused exclusively on single-family homes routinely overlook this, and in a walkable village a co-op close to the station can deliver more of what a household wanted than a house much further out.

Westchester County carries one of the highest median single-family property tax bills in the United States at approximately $14,670, and the premium school districts run well above that. Scarsdale, for example, has a median effective property tax rate of approximately 1.97 percent applied to a single-family median around $2.5 million. The school tax is the largest component of a Westchester bill, and buyers should model the actual dollar figure for a specific property before setting a purchase budget.

Condominiums were the only segment to post gains in both price and volume in Q2 2026, with the median rising 7.7 percent to $575,000 on 341 sales against 329 a year earlier. Single-family homes posted the largest price gain at 15.3 percent to a $1,240,000 median but on 7.8 percent fewer sales. Co-ops rose 6.8 percent to $235,000 on slightly reduced volume of 379 sales, down from 405.

Plan on roughly 60 to 90 days from accepted offer to closing. New York is an attorney state, so both buyer and seller retain attorneys, and attorney review plus contract drafting typically takes 7 to 10 days after an offer is accepted. Mortgage commitments are generally due within 30 to 45 days of contract. Importantly, an accepted offer binds neither party until contracts are fully executed and the deposit delivered, so buyers should keep looking during the review window.

Conditions remain favourable for well-prepared sellers. Median prices rose across every segment in Q2 2026, and lower single-family transaction volume means fewer competing listings. The qualifier matters: the market rewards homes that are priced strategically and presented well and is less forgiving of those that are not, so the 15.3 percent county median gain should not be read as licence to price aggressively. Pricing should be set against your specific community, product type and condition.

County and village medians provide context but cannot value an individual property, since Westchester communities sit far apart from one another and from the county figure, and condition and product type drive much of the remaining difference. The Francie Malina Team prepares property-specific valuations using current comparable sales for the relevant community and product type, which is the only sound basis for setting a listing price in a market where pricing discipline is being rewarded and overpricing is not.
