Housing markets across Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties in Q3 remained resilient with strong buyer demand and rising home prices

Rye Brook, NY The housing market in Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties remained resilient in the third quarter of 2025, with strong buyer demand, rising home prices, and stable supply-demand ratios across most segments according to the Houlihan Lawrence Q3 Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess Market Report.

In Westchester County, single-family home sales increased 9% year-over-year, with 1,617 homes sold this quarter. The average sale price rose nearly 3%, reflecting continued competition, particularly in the mid to upper price ranges. Homes sold at 104.6% of asking price on average, and price per s/f rose to $488. Supply-demand remained balanced overall, with notable demand growth in the $1 million – $3 million ranges.

Putnam County experienced a 20% increase in home sales and a 2% rise in median sale price to $610,000. Notably, school districts like Haldane and Lakeland posted significant price appreciation, up 43% and 41% respectively. The market remains highly competitive across most price points. Inventory decreased slightly year-over-year, while pending sales rose 25%, indicating sustained buyer interest into Q4.

Dutchess County saw a 6% decrease in Q3 home sales, likely due to constrained inventory in lower price ranges. However, prices continued to rise, with the average sale price up 4% to $625,092 and price per s/f up 11% to $293. Despite fewer transactions, the market remains tight, with homes selling at 101.2% of list price and a low average of 60 days on market.

“Across all three counties, high demand and limited inventory continue to drive price growth and quick sales. The data suggests ongoing strength in the mid-to-high-end markets, while entry-level buyers face increasing competition due to low supply. Strategic pricing, preparation, and timing remain critical for both buyers and sellers as we head into Q4,” said Houlihan Lawerence president and CEO Liz Nunan.
