September 2026 Katonah–Lewisboro real estate: home sales, median prices, inventory and market insights for buyers and sellers.

Katonah–Lewisboro Real Estate Market Update: September 2026

September data • October 2026 draft

On Saturday morning, I was driving along Katonah Avenue on my way to the bank. With the autumn leaves and cool air, Katonah reminded me of a New England vacation town. There’s a relaxing feeling about this time of year—apple pie, pumpkins and Halloween just around the corner.

Katonah–Lewisboro’s September report pairs stronger single-family sales with a slightly lower median sale price. Condominiums present a different picture: only two sales closed, and reported inventory and months of supply increased.

What stands out this month

Single-family sales increased 60.0% while the median sale price declined 1.2%. Median price per square foot rose 16.2%, showing why a single measure cannot explain the entire market. Condos had 6.35 months of supply versus 3.25 for houses, although the two-sale condo sample limits conclusions.

Katonah–Lewisboro Single-family market

The report recorded 24 sales and a $1,111,625 median sale price. The reported days-on-market figure was 29.

  • Unit Sales: 24 (up 60.0% vs sept 2025).
  • Median Sale Price: $1,111,625 (down 1.2% vs sept 2025).
  • Days on Market: 29 (down 19.4% vs sept 2025).
  • Median Sale Price/SF: $438 (up 16.2% vs sept 2025).
  • Inventory: 48 (down 21.3% vs sept 2025).
  • Months of Supply: 3.25 (down 12.4% vs sept 2025).

96% sold within 90 days of listing; 92% sold for more than 95% of list price. These are shares of sales meeting those thresholds, not an average sale-to-list ratio.

Katonah–Lewisboro Condominium market

The report recorded 2 sales and a $609,714 median sale price. The reported days-on-market figure was 26.

  • Unit Sales: 2 (down 33.3% vs sept 2025).
  • Median Sale Price: $609,714 (up 9.6% vs sept 2025).

  • Inventory: 9 (up 80.0% vs sept 2025).

100% sold within 90 days of listing; 100% sold for more than 95% of list price. These are shares of sales meeting those thresholds, not an average sale-to-list ratio.

Small sample: This category had only 2 closing(s). Its median and percentages can change sharply with the particular properties sold. They should not be treated as a broad change in every property’s value.

Katonah–Lewisboro Co-op market

No co-op sales were recorded in September. Reported inventory was 0. A median sale price and days-on-market result are unavailable; the report’s 0% sold indicators do not describe an actual group of completed sales.

Katonah–Lewisboro Multi-unit market

No multi-unit sales were recorded in September. Reported inventory was 3. A median sale price and days-on-market result are unavailable; the report’s 0% sold indicators do not describe an actual group of completed sales.

What buyers should do next

Start with the segment that fits your plans, then compare similar homes and current listings. Have financing or proof of funds prepared and review the total monthly cost before making an offer. A monthly market snapshot provides context; the condition, location and pricing of a particular property determine how you should approach it.

What sellers should do next

Use recent comparable sales and current competition to set your strategy. A district median is not a suggested list price. Preparation, realistic pricing and clear marketing remain important even when inventory is limited. Condo and co-op sellers should gather building documents early; multi-unit sellers should assemble leases, income and expense records and information about permitted use.

Rye City Real Estate Market Update: September 2026

Rye City Real Estate Market Update: September 2026

September data • October 2026 draft

On a recent visit to Rye, I stopped at Sunrise Pizza on Purdy Avenue for a slice—and I have to say, it was really good pizza. Afterward, I headed toward Playland Parkway and on to my next appointment. That was a little snapshot of my day in Rye; now, let’s take a look at what the latest housing numbers tell us.

Rye City’s September single-family report recorded more closings and sharply lower inventory than a year earlier. The condo and co-op results also deserve attention, but with just two sales in each category, their monthly medians need context.

What stands out this month

The single-family report recorded 12 closings, 11 properties in inventory and 1.42 months of supply. This suggests limited choice in that segment. All recorded single-family sales were for more than 95% of list price; this does not mean all sold above asking or that the sale-to-list ratio was 100%.

The report recorded 12 sales and a $2,362,500 median sale price. The reported days-on-market figure was 21.

Mamaroneck Real Estate Market Update: September 2026

Mamaroneck Real Estate Market Update: September 2026

September data • October 2026 draft

On October 7, I was in Larchmont and Mamaroneck, helping a friend get to a local service station. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. There was some road work along US 1 in Larchmont, and afterward I drove up Weaver Street to see a client in the area, passing Saints John and Paul School and Bonnie Briar golf course as I headed toward New Rochelle.

I always enjoy the scenery along Weaver Street, especially the greenery around Bonnie Briar. On a day like this, those everyday views are a pleasure—and a reminder of the places behind the market numbers.

Mamaroneck’s September housing report highlights limited single-family and co-op supply, alongside a condo segment with more inventory. The strongest headline is the difference in available choices across property types.

What stands out this month

Single-family inventory declined 58.7% and months of supply fell to 1.11. Yet the 40.9% increase in median sale price was much larger than the 1.5% increase in median price per square foot. Those measures tell different stories and may reflect the properties sold. The condo and multi-unit categories each had just one closing.

Mamaroneck Single-family market

The report recorded 13 sales and a $1,690,000 median sale price. The reported days-on-market figure was 22.

White Plains Real Estate Market Update: September 2026

September data • October 2026 draft

I was recently on Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains meeting a client, and I was reminded of how much I enjoy the city's energy. I'm always impressed by the hustle around City Center—the movement, the activity, and the feeling of being right in the middle of things.

Heading north on North Mamaroneck Ave gives me a different feeling. The beautifully tree-lined streets make me feel as though I'm leaving the downtown bustle behind and heading somewhere more rural—almost like the beginning of a vacation. That change in atmosphere is one of the things I appreciate about White Plains.

Those everyday impressions are part of getting to know a community. The market data offers another perspective: the figures below cover the White Plains School District, with each property type reported separately.

White Plains entered the fall with a clear split between houses and attached homes. September’s single-family median exceeded $1 million, condo sales moved faster than a year earlier, and co-ops took longer to sell even as more transactions closed.

What stands out this month

The single-family median rose 19.5%, while median sale price per square foot was nearly unchanged, down 0.2%. That difference is a reason to examine the mix and size of homes sold before assuming uniform appreciation. Condos reported 30 days on market versus 79 for co-ops; building-specific comparisons matter.

White Plains Single-family market

The report recorded 24 sales and a $1,045,500 median sale price. The reported days-on-market figure was 23.

  • Median Sale Price/SF: Not available.
  • Inventory: 11 (unchanged vs sept 2025).

Small sample: This category had only 1 closing(s). Its median and percentages can change sharply with the particular properties sold. They should not be treated as a broad change in every property’s value.

What buyers should do next

Start with the segment that fits your plans, then compare similar homes and current listings. Have financing or proof of funds prepared and review the total monthly cost before making an offer. A monthly market snapshot provides context; the condition, location and pricing of a particular property determine how you should approach it.

What sellers should do next

Use recent comparable sales and current competition to set your strategy. A district median is not a suggested list price. Preparation, realistic pricing and clear marketing remain important even when inventory is limited. Condo and co-op sellers should gather building documents early; multi-unit sellers should assemble leases, income and expense records and information about permitted use.

New Rochelle Real Estate Market Update: September 2026

September data • October 2026 draft

Last Wednesday, after a showing, I was on North Avenue in New Rochelle thinking about how September would finish: How many homes would sell, and what would the numbers tell us about where the market might be headed? With both the month and the third quarter coming to a close, I was eager to see the results.

Now we have September’s answer. This update covers September 2026 only. It is not a full third-quarter market report; those quarterly numbers are expected next week.

New Rochelle’s September numbers show why the property type matters. Co-op inventory increased while the co-op median sale price declined; condos recorded a higher median price from just four closings. Those are different stories, and neither should be applied automatically to every home in the city.

Source: William Raveis Local Housing Data, September 2026, reports generated October 5, 2026. “Days on Market” is reproduced as labeled; the supplied reports do not specify whether it is an average or median. Inventory is the report’s September figure, not a live listing count. Unavailable statistics are not zero values.

What stands out this month

Co-op buyers had more reported inventory than a year earlier. Sellers should study competing units in the same building and price range. The condo median rose, but four sales are too few to establish a broad appreciation rate. Single-family homes had 2.64 months of supply, compared with 6.00 for condos and 6.04 for co-ops. Buyers should compare options within their chosen segment; sellers should price against similar properties and current competition.

New Rochelle Single-family market

September recorded 25 single-family sales, down 30.6% from September 2025. The median sale price was $999,000, up 0.4%. Reported days on market fell 11.8% to 30.

  • Median sale price per square foot: $506, up 11.7% year over year.
  • Inventory: 61, down 6.2%.
  • Months of supply: 2.64, up 7.7%.
  • 92% sold within 90 days of listing.
  • 92% sold for more than 95% of list price.

The median sale price was nearly unchanged even though fewer sales closed. The increase in months of supply alongside lower inventory shows why available listings and sales pace should be considered together. These figures do not establish that every home’s value stayed flat. The mix of homes sold, their condition and location remain important.

New Rochelle Condominium market

The report recorded 4 sales and a $777,500 median sale price. The reported days-on-market figure was 35.

  • Unit Sales: 4 (down 20.0% vs sept 2025).
  • Median Sale Price: $777,500 (up 41.4% vs sept 2025).
  • Days on Market: 35 (down 47.0% vs sept 2025).
  • Median Sale Price/SF: $553 (up 29.3% vs sept 2025).
  • Inventory: 25 (up 38.9% vs sept 2025).
  • Months of Supply: 6.00 (up 19.4% vs sept 2025).

100% sold within 90 days of listing; 100% sold for more than 95% of list price. These are shares of sales meeting those thresholds, not an average sale-to-list ratio.

Small sample: This category had only 4 closing(s). Its median and percentages can change sharply with the particular properties sold. They should not be treated as a broad change in every property’s value.

New Rochelle Co-op market

The report recorded 10 sales and a $182,000 median sale price. The reported days-on-market figure was 50.

  • Unit Sales: 10 (down 41.2% vs sept 2025).
  • Median Sale Price: $182,000 (down 13.3% vs sept 2025).
  • Days on Market: 50 (down 23.1% vs sept 2025).
  • Median Sale Price/SF: $240 (down 4.0% vs sept 2025).
  • Inventory: 70 (up 45.8% vs sept 2025).
  • Months of Supply: 6.04 (up 41.6% vs sept 2025).

80% sold within 90 days of listing; 90% sold for more than 95% of list price. These are shares of sales meeting those thresholds, not an average sale-to-list ratio.

New Rochelle Multi-unit market

The report recorded 3 sales and a $1,040,000 median sale price. The reported days-on-market figure was 19.

  • Unit Sales: 3.
  • Median Sale Price: $1,040,000.
  • Days on Market: 19.
  • Median Sale Price/SF: Not available.
  • Inventory: 20 (up 42.9% vs sept 2025).
  • Months of Supply: 7.50 (up 51.8% vs sept 2025).

100% sold within 90 days of listing; 67% sold for more than 95% of list price. These are shares of sales meeting those thresholds, not an average sale-to-list ratio.

Small sample: This category had only 3 closing(s). Its median and percentages can change sharply with the particular properties sold. They should not be treated as a broad change in every property’s value.

What buyers should do next

Start with the segment that fits your plans, then compare similar homes and current listings. Have financing or proof of funds prepared and review the total monthly cost before making an offer. A monthly market snapshot provides context; the condition, location and pricing of a particular property determine how you should approach it.

To explore purchase prices, down payments and estimated loan payments, visit my Real Estate Money Page. Use the tools as a starting point, then confirm financing options and the full monthly cost with your lender.

What sellers should do next

Use recent comparable sales and current competition to set your strategy. A district median is not a suggested list price. Preparation, realistic pricing and clear marketing remain important even when inventory is limited. Condo and co-op sellers should gather building documents early; multi-unit sellers should assemble leases, income and expense records and information about permitted use.

Accepted Offer in New York: Why the Fact Sheet, or Memo of Understanding Matters

Getting an accepted offer is an exciting milestone for both buyers and sellers. After the negotiations, counteroffers, phone calls, texts and emails, everyone is understandably ready to move the transaction forward.

But before the attorneys begin working toward the contract stage, there is an important piece of communication that deserves careful attention: the deal memo, sometimes referred to as a memorandum of understanding or transaction memorandum.

After years of working in Westchester County real estate, I have learned that this is not something that should simply be forwarded without a careful review.

Before transaction information goes to the attorneys, the details should be checked—and then checked again.

What Is a Deal Memo or a Fact sheet in a New York Real Estate Transaction?

After a buyer and seller reach an accepted offer, the real estate professionals involved generally need to make sure the attorneys receive the basic business terms and information necessary to begin the next stage of the transaction.

How that information is communicated can vary. Sometimes I have received a separate document or form. Other times, the information has simply been included within an email or an ongoing email chain.

Regardless of the format, the important point is the same: the information needs to be accurate.

Depending on the particular transaction, information communicated to the attorneys may include:

  • Buyer and seller names
  • Property address
  • Accepted purchase price
  • Buyer and seller attorney information
  • Financing information, when applicable
  • Down payment or deposit information
  • Anticipated closing timeframe
  • Items specifically included or excluded from the sale
  • Inspection-related information or other agreed-upon terms
  • Brokerage information
  • Other important business terms that should be communicated to the attorneys

Why I Always Review the Deal Memo

My approach comes partly from experience.

There have been transactions where I received the deal information as part of an email chain rather than as a separate document and discovered that a client's name had been misspelled.

A misspelled name may seem like a relatively small mistake, but transaction information should be accurate from the beginning.

I also experienced a situation several years ago involving buyers I represented. My buyers had reached an accepted offer, but another party had also submitted an offer on the property. During the communications following the accepted offer, information involving the other party was mistakenly confused with information involving my buyers.

The mistake was caught and corrected, but the experience reinforced something that has remained part of the way I handle transactions:

Once you have an accepted offer, slow down for a moment and verify the details.

Accepted Offers Can Involve a Lot of Communication

Think about everything that can happen before an offer is finally accepted.

There may be an initial offer followed by a counteroffer. Agents may speak by telephone. Buyers and sellers may communicate with their agents by text or email. Terms can change during the negotiations. There may also be several buyers making offers on the same property.

By the time everyone reaches an agreement, important information may be spread across several different communications.

That's one reason I don't believe an agent should rely solely on memory when reviewing the final deal information.

Go Back to the Emails, Texts and Notes

Before transaction information is sent to the attorneys, I believe it is important to compare it with the communications that produced the accepted offer.

That can mean going back through emails, text messages and notes from conversations.

The question I want answered is straightforward:

Does the information being communicated accurately reflect what the buyer and seller agreed to?

This becomes particularly important when a property has received multiple offers. Information involving one prospective buyer should not accidentally be confused with the buyer whose offer was ultimately accepted.

It only takes a few extra minutes to review the details, but those few minutes can prevent unnecessary confusion later.

My Deal Memo Review Checklist

Whether I am preparing transaction information or reviewing information received from another agent, there are several things I want to verify:

  • Names: Are the buyers' and sellers' names spelled correctly?
  • Property: Is the property address correct?
  • Purchase price: Does the memo show the correct accepted price?
  • Financing: Does the information accurately reflect the financing structure that was communicated?
  • Attorneys: Are the attorneys' names and contact information correct?
  • Dates and timing: Are relevant dates or anticipated timeframes accurate?
  • Included or excluded items: Were any fixtures, appliances or other items specifically discussed?
  • Additional terms: Were other important business terms agreed upon during the negotiations?

Then I read through everything one more time.

If I Receive the Memo, I Still Review It

The same principle applies when another agent prepares the transaction information and sends it to me.

I don't automatically assume that everything is correct simply because someone else prepared it. I review the information from the perspective of my client and compare it with my understanding of the accepted offer.

That isn't about finding fault with another professional.

Real estate transactions involve many people, a great deal of information and sometimes very fast-moving negotiations. Mistakes can happen. A second set of eyes can help catch an error while it is still relatively easy to correct.

The Attorneys Handle the Legal Documents

It is also important to distinguish between the role of the real estate agent and the role of the attorneys.

A deal memo is not the contract of sale, and real estate agents should remain within the appropriate boundaries of their professional role.

The attorneys representing the buyer and seller handle the legal documents, review contractual language and provide their clients with legal advice.

From the real estate side of the transaction, one of my responsibilities is helping to make sure that the business terms and other relevant transaction information being communicated are as clear and accurate as possible.

An Accepted Offer Is Only One Step

Reaching an accepted offer is important, but buyers should understand that there are still several steps ahead before they own the property.

Those steps can differ depending upon the type of property being purchased, how the purchase is being financed and the circumstances of the transaction.

For buyers considering a co-op in Westchester County or elsewhere in New York, the process can include additional financial documentation, building requirements and a co-op application and approval process.

I've created a separate resource explaining many of those issues: NY Co-op Buying Made Simple: Rights, Documents and the Buying Process.

If you're trying to understand more of the financial side of purchasing and owning a home—including the expenses that can extend beyond the purchase price—you can also visit The Money Page.

Understanding these issues before you get deep into a transaction can help you ask better questions and work more effectively with your real estate agent, lender, attorney and other professionals.

Professionalism Is Often Found in the Details

Most consumers understandably think about the highly visible parts of a real estate agent's job: finding the right property, marketing a home, negotiating the offer and eventually getting to the closing table.

But a great deal of real estate work happens behind the scenes.

Carefully reviewing transaction information after an accepted offer is one of those tasks. It may not be the most exciting part of buying or selling a home, but getting the details right matters.

My approach is simple:

Check the names. Check the property. Check the numbers. Check the dates. Review the emails and texts. Confirm the accepted terms. Then read everything one more time.

Because in a real estate transaction, professionalism is often found in the details.


Frequently Asked Questions About Accepted Offers and Deal Memos

What is a deal memo in a New York real estate transaction?

A deal memo is a communication used to provide attorneys and other transaction professionals with important information about an accepted offer. The exact terminology, format and information included can vary depending on the transaction and the professionals involved.

Is a deal memo the same as a real estate contract?

No. A deal memo should not be confused with the contract of sale. The attorneys representing the buyer and seller handle the legal documents and advise their clients regarding contractual and legal matters.

What should be checked on a deal memo?

Important details may include the spelling of the parties' names, property address, accepted purchase price, attorney information, financing information, relevant dates, included or excluded items and other business terms communicated as part of the accepted offer.

Why should emails and text messages be reviewed after an accepted offer?

Real estate negotiations can involve offers, counteroffers, telephone calls, emails and text messages. Reviewing those communications can help make sure that the information being communicated after the accepted offer accurately reflects the transaction.

What happens after an accepted offer in New York?

The exact process depends on the transaction. The parties generally move toward attorney involvement, due diligence and preparation and review of the contract. Financing, inspections, property type and other circumstances can affect the process. Buyers and sellers should rely on their respective attorneys for transaction-specific legal guidance.

Does buying a New York co-op involve additional steps?

It can. Co-op purchases may involve review of building financial information and governing documents, financial requirements, an application package and an approval process. For more information, visit my NY Co-op Buying Made Simple resource.

Can a real estate agent provide legal advice about a contract?

A real estate salesperson is not a substitute for an attorney. Questions involving contractual rights, legal obligations or interpretation of contract language should be directed to the buyer's or seller's attorney.
