The spring real estate market is winding down in Westchester, and everyone's wondering the same thing: are we seeing a genuine shift in market conditions, or is this just the typical June slowdown? After months of fierce bidding wars and homes selling above list price, buyers and sellers alike are looking for signs of change. The answer isn't as straightforward as you might think.
In this episode, I'm taking a step back from my usual conversations with local entrepreneurs to share my observations from an exceptionally active spring season. With multiple listings, closings, and even a new client from a podcast follower, I've had a front-row seat to the market dynamics playing out across northern Westchester. From the continued strength in homes under $1.75 million to the surprising value opportunities above $3 million, the market is revealing some interesting patterns that every buyer and seller needs to understand.
You'll discover why three offers might be just as good as ten, how commuting preferences are reshaping buyer priorities, and what the surge in photographer bookings tells us about upcoming inventory. I'll also explain why the traditional summer slowdown doesn't necessarily signal a market shift, and what key factors you should watch for signs of real change. Whether you're planning to buy or sell, these insights will help you navigate the current market with confidence.
