What are home prices across Westchester towns in spring 2026?

Westchester's median single-family price sits around $875,000 county-wide in spring 2026 — but that number masks extraordinary variation. Scarsdale and Bronxville exceed $1.7 million. Yonkers and Peekskill offer entry points under $500,000. The right number is the one that applies to your specific target town, not the county aggregate.

Westchester is not a single market. It's a collection of distinct town-level markets organized by school district, train line, and walkability — each operating on its own supply and demand dynamics. Here's what the price data actually shows in spring 2026.

Westchester Prices by Town Tier — Spring 2026

Westchester isn't one market — it's a collection of markets organized loosely by train line, school district, and walkability. Understanding the price tier structure is the starting point for any buyer or seller evaluation.

Town / Area	Median Price Range	Market Character
Scarsdale	$1.7M–$2.5M+	Seller-leaning
Bronxville	$1.5M–$2.2M	Seller-leaning
Larchmont / Mamaroneck	$1.1M–$1.6M	Competitive
Rye / Harrison	$1.0M–$1.5M	Competitive
New Rochelle	$650K–$950K	Balanced
White Plains	$550K–$800K	Balanced
Yonkers	$350K–$700K	Buyer-friendly
Peekskill / Ossining	$300K–$550K	Buyer-friendly

What's Driving the Spread

The price spread across Westchester towns is driven by three variables: school district performance, Metro-North commute time to Grand Central, and walkable village access. Towns that score well on all three consistently hold value better than those with only one or two of those characteristics.

Scarsdale is the clearest example — top-ranked schools, a 35-minute express to Grand Central, and a walkable village center. That combination produces pricing that has held even as the broader market has moderated. Towns like Yonkers offer genuine value for buyers who can work remotely or tolerate a longer commute.

What These Numbers Mean for Buyers and Sellers

For sellers: your comparable sales are hyperlocal. A town-wide median is a starting point, not a comp. What matters is what sold within half a mile, in similar condition, in the last 90 days. Westchester's town-to-town variation is wide enough that county-level statistics can mislead either direction.

For buyers: understanding the tier structure helps you evaluate trade-offs honestly. Moving one tier down — say, from Larchmont to New Rochelle — can free up $300,000 to $400,000 in budget. That gap is worth understanding before you decide where to look.

More accessible towns like Yonkers, Mount Vernon, and Peekskill offer entry points in the $400,000–$600,000 range.

Which Westchester towns have the highest home prices in 2026?

Scarsdale, Bronxville, Larchmont, and Rye consistently lead Westchester in median sale prices. Scarsdale's median exceeds $1.7 million. These towns combine strong school districts, walkable village centers, and excellent Metro-North access, which sustain premium pricing across market cycles.

Are Westchester home prices rising or falling in spring 2026?

Westchester prices are holding firm in established towns and softening slightly in higher-inventory areas. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes in towns with strong school districts continue to attract competitive offers. Properties needing renovation or priced above comparable sales are taking longer.

How does Westchester compare to New York City for home prices?

Westchester's median single-family home price of roughly $875,000 is comparable to a mid-tier Manhattan co-op — but delivers three to four times the square footage, outdoor space, and access to public schools. The trade-off is commute time and Westchester's property tax structure, which varies significantly by municipality.
