Over Half the Market Is Already Under Contract. Here’s What That Means for You.
If you’ve been watching the Irvington real estate market and wondering whether now is a good time to buy or sell — the numbers just gave you a very clear answer.
As of June 2026, there are 53 properties tracked in Irvington, New York. And when you break that down, the story gets interesting fast.
The Numbers at a Glance
- 16 homes currently active and available for purchase
- 29 homes under contract (pending)
- 8 homes recently sold
- Average sale-to-list price ratio: 107.5%
Let that sink in. More than half of all listings in Irvington are already under contract. That’s not a balanced market — that’s a seller’s market in full swing.
Why 29 Pending Listings Is a Big Deal
In a typical market, you might see 10–15% of listings under contract at any given time. In Irvington right now, it’s closer to 55%. That means for every home that’s available, nearly two others already have buyers competing for them.
This kind of absorption rate signals strong, sustained demand. Irvington’s combination of top-rated schools, Hudson River access, Metro-North commutability to Manhattan, and its charming village character continues to make it one of Westchester’s most coveted communities.
Buyers aren’t window shopping. They’re making moves.
For Sellers: You Have the Upper Hand
The sold data backs this up: homes in Irvington are closing at an average of 107.5% of list price. That means sellers are routinely receiving offers above asking — in some cases significantly so.
With only 16 homes available and a deep pool of motivated buyers, well-priced, well-presented homes are not sitting. If you’ve been on the fence about listing, the conditions right now are about as favorable as they get.
Pricing strategy still matters, though. The homes that perform best are those priced to attract multiple offers — not priced to leave room to negotiate down.
For Buyers: Move Fast and Come Prepared
With 29 homes already off the market and only 16 remaining, buyers need to be ready to act decisively. That means:
- Pre-approval in hand before you tour
- Clear priorities so you can make a decision quickly
- A strong offer strategy — because you will likely be competing
Available prices range from $799,000 to nearly $4 million, with the bulk of inventory in the $1.5M–$2.5M range. Whether you’re a first-time buyer stretching into the market or a move-up buyer looking for something special, Irvington has options — but not many, and not for long.
The Bottom Line
Irvington’s real estate market in June 2026 is competitive, fast-moving, and heavily tilted in favor of sellers. With more homes under contract than available, and buyers consistently paying above asking, this is not a market where hesitation pays off.
