What kind of house will $800K get you in Westchester, Rockland, Putnam? We checked
The price point of $800,000 has become a new normal in the Lower Hudson Valley market, as median home prices continue to rise.
In 2023, average median home prices were $850,000 in Westchester, $660,000 in Rockland and $485,000 in Putnam.
Darin Palumbo, a realtor at Green Grass Real Estate Corp based in Bronxville, said unlike houses listed between $500,000 and $600,000 that mostly need major repairs, houses listed for $800,000 are in “decent size and completely livable, with everything functioning well.”
Palumbo predicts an uptick in sales this year as the market ramps up to the peak season (that usually comes late spring), as homeowners and buyers have settled into the mindset that high interest rates may remain the norm.
In fact, the peak season may come earlier this year, Palumbo said.
