February saw the tight housing market in Westchester continue to be tight, according to new statistics from the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR). The median sale price for single-family homes in Westchester was $1,025,500 in February, up 19.8% from February 2025.
Westchester County had only 1.3 months of single-family homes in inventory during February of this year, down from 1.9 months in February last year. Most homes were on the market for only about a month. There were 206 closed sales of single-family homes in February 2026 compared with 221 sales in the same month last year.
“February’s data shows a market under pressure, with rising home prices and fewer closed sales signaling ongoing inventory challenges,” said Rey Hollingsworth Falu, HGAR’s president. “Demand is still strong, but limited supply continues to drive competition and affordability concerns. As we head into spring, expanding inventory will be key to unlocking more activity and opportunity across our region.”
In Putnam County, there were 104 active listings on the market in February 2026 compared with 132 in February 2025. The number of closed sales during the month was 47, up from 44 in February of 2025.
