Ever dreamed of having your own private beach or a pickle ball court? In Westchester, it's not what real estate dreams are made of — it's reality. Prospective buyers, or virtual voyeurs, have more options than ever when it comes to the opulent — and it's translating into sales.

In Westchester County, homes sold over $2 million are considered luxury properties.

Luxury home sales in Westchester climbed considerably in the second quarter of 2024 (Q2 2024), compared to last year, while median sale prices dropped slightly, according to a report from Houlihan Lawrence .

About 191 luxury homes were sold in Q2 2024, an increase of 48% from 2023. Median sale prices fell by 3.3% to $2.62 million. About 73% of luxury homes sold in Q2 2024 fell into the price range between $2 million and $2.9 million.

Scarsdale saw the most luxury homes sold (38) followed by Rye City (29) and Mamaroneck (27). The most expensive home sold in Westchester in quarter 2 was in Mamaroneck, which was sold for $8 million.

Story continues after gallery.

According to Anthony Cutugno, senior vice president at Houlihan Lawrence, it's still a sellers' market and proper pricing remains critical.

“Sellers remain firmly in the driver's seat, benefiting from favorable market conditions and the potential for significant returns on their investments,” Cutugno said in the Houlihan Lawrence report . “Overinflated prices risk rejection from savvy luxury buyers who prioritize value.”
