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! ✨
I get this question all the time from new clients: "Jess, I'm moving to Westchester, but I'm worried about finding my people. How do I build community here?" My answer is always the same: You have to show up. Here's the beautiful thing about Westchester – this county practically rolls out the red carpet for connection.
To the small businesses who showed up with beauty, knowledge and talent- Thank you! It was the best morning. ❤️ @shopshapero @audracedrone @verylovelysoles @myfavoriteyogastrap @ajgsieger 📸: @hudvalleyphoto
When you think of New York, your mind immediately goes to towering skyscrapers, bustling streets, and the relentless energy of the city that never sleeps. But I want to challenge that narrow perception entirely. Instead of concrete and steel, picture rolling farmland.
