As we head deeper into fall, the Rye City School District real estate market is showing a mix of cooling prices and tight inventory — a combination that creates both opportunities and challenges for buyers and sellers alike. Below is a snapshot of the latest market data for October 2025.

🏡 Key Market Highlights for October 2025

• Unit Sales: 4 single-family homes sold — down 20% from October 2024.

📊 What This Means for Buyers & Sellers

For Sellers

Even with prices dipping slightly, the lack of available homes means well-presented listings can still attract strong offers. 75% of homes sold within 90 days and 75% sold for over 95% of list price — clear signs that quality listings are moving.

For Buyers

With inventory down and competition steady, buyers should come prepared. Securing pre-approval and working with a knowledgeable agent familiar with Rye City School District homes can help position you ahead of the curve.
