What the Numbers Mean for Buyers and Sellers
1. Lower Sales Volume
Only 10 homes sold in February 2026, a decrease of nearly 29% compared to February 2025. Lower transaction numbers often indicate that inventory remains tight, which limits how many buyers can successfully purchase homes.
2. Prices Adjusting but Still Strong
The median sale price of $852,500 represents a 13% decrease year-over-year. However, this does not necessarily signal declining property values.
Price fluctuations can occur due to:
- Different types of homes sold during the month
- Variations in property size and location
- Limited inventory affecting market composition
Interestingly, the average price per square foot increased 2.1%, suggesting that underlying home values remain resilient in the New Rochelle market.
Homes Are Still Selling Quickly
Despite fewer sales, homes that are priced correctly continue to move fast:
- 80% of homes sold within 90 days of listing
- 70% of homes sold for over 95% of their asking price
- Average days on market dropped to 47 days
These indicators suggest that buyer demand remains strong in the New Rochelle School District.
Inventory Remains Tight
Housing inventory continues to be a major factor in the market.
- 44 homes available for sale
- Inventory down 22.8% year-over-year
- Months of supply: 1.78 months
A balanced housing market typically has 4–6 months of supply. With less than two months of inventory, New Rochelle remains a seller-leaning market.
