Cracking the Code on Westchester County Home Prices

The path to your dream home is paved with smart decisions about home prices. My name is Sherry Wiggs, I’m a Licensed Realtor & I’ve been around the block (pun intended) for over 20 years! I’m here to share some nuggets of wisdom to make your journey a whole lot smoother.

Home Price Hacks:

  1. Budget Reality Check: First things first, figure out your budget. Know what you can comfortably spend and get pre-approved for a mortgage.
  2. Stay in the Loop: Keep your finger on the pulse of the local real estate scene. Different neighborhoods dance to different tunes when it comes to pricing.
  3. Location Matters: Remember the golden rule – location, location, location. Home prices can swing wildly depending on where you want to put down roots.
  4. Compare Apples to Apples: When checking out homes, don’t forget to look at what’s sold recently in the same ballpark. It’s the best way to gauge what’s fair.
  5. Partner Up: My strongest advice? Team up with a local real estate whiz like me. I’ve got the lowdown on prices, and I’m always in the know.

Price Points You Need to Know:

  • Range Roulette: Westchester County is a big playground. Condos and townhouses can start around $300,000, while larger estates can go for a few million. Yep, we’ve got a wide range.
  • Neighborhood Buzz: Fancy spots like Scarsdale and Rye? They’re swanky for a reason – great schools, luxe living, and they come with a price tag to match.
  • Features That Matter: Square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, lot size, upgrades – these all play a role in how much you’ll shell out.
  • Back to the Future: Historical data tells a story. Look at past sales to predict where prices might head in the future.
  • Motivated Sellers: Sometimes, folks are eager to sell quickly and might list their homes at a steal. Keep an eye out for these opportunities.

In a Nutshell:

As you embark on your journey to find your Westchester County haven, pricing smarts are your secret weapon. Nail down your budget, track the local trends, and lean on a local expert like me. Remember, it’s not just about the numbers; it’s about finding a place that feels like home.
