Fresh Start: A Tale of Two Markets & Personal Growth

Growth • Fun • Community

Yes, you read that right - fun! It might seem surprising to prioritize something so playful, but why shouldn't joy have a seat at the table of our intentions? It kept bubbling up in my mind, and I've decided to embrace it fully.

I'm curious - what words are guiding your 2024?

Now, let's talk real estate. The 2023-2024 market tells an interesting story, particularly in Northern Westchester and Fairfield County. Here's what the numbers are showing us:

Northern Westchester Spotlight:

Mount Kisco emerged as a standout performer with a 20.6% jump in median sales price to $415,000
Pound Ridge saw a remarkable 71.7% surge to $1,892,500
Bedford experienced a significant shift with a -35.5% change to $1,222,500
Katonah-Lewisboro remained relatively stable at $977,500 (-1.8%)

The inventory story is equally compelling - areas with fewer homes for sale saw values climb even higher, while those maintaining steady inventory held their ground.

Fairfield County's Journey:

The market showed resilience with:

A modest 5.8% increase in median list prices
A healthy 7.4% rise in median sale prices
Nearly stable new listing numbers (-0.7%)
A 10.4% decrease in total sales

A special note about Ridgefield and Redding: These unique markets dance to their own rhythm, often charting their own course independent of broader trends.

Here's to making 2025 our most extraordinary year yet! ✨

You can scroll through every listing in Katonah from your couch tonight. You can see the square footage, the acreage, the stone walls, and the kitchen renovation from 2019.

If I were moving to Northern Westchester today, I wouldn't start with a home tour. I'd start with a weekend.
