Dobbs Ferry, NY Real Estate Guide (2026)

Market Snapshot

Redfin’s July 2026 data puts Dobbs Ferry’s median sale price at $1,279,359, up 6.2% year-over-year, with homes taking a median of 24 days to sell, up from 23 a year ago. (Zillow’s typical home value estimate couldn’t be reliably pulled for this update, so we’ve left it out rather than guess – we’ll fold it back in once it’s verifiable.) Days on market continue to run in the low-to-mid 20s, consistent with recent periods.

Dobbs Ferry is served by its own Union Free School District. Dobbs Ferry High School holds a 9/10 GreatSchools rating, one of the stronger scores among the Rivertowns – a key draw for buyers prioritizing schools.
