The headline numbers

Neighboring counties
North of Westchester, Putnam County’s single-family median rose 3% to $625,500 on 242 sales, down 3%. Dutchess County’s median rose 10.2% to $551,000 on 561 sales, down 1.9%. In Dutchess, increased inventory has given buyers more leverage, with homes taking somewhat longer to sell.
What the numbers suggest
Rising prices on slightly fewer closings is the pattern typical of a supply-constrained market, and the Houlihan Lawrence report points to limited inventory in Westchester. For sellers, that favors well-prepared, accurately priced homes. For buyers, it rewards readiness: financing in place and clear priorities before the right property appears.
