“March 2026 marked the strongest median close in the 24-month dataset — $1,013,950 — driven by well-priced inventory in Yorktown Heights and Amawalk. Days on market dropped sharply to 20, reflecting competitive spring buyer activity. Pricing strategy at launch remains critical: homes that entered at or slightly below comparable sales cleared in under two weeks.”

Six practical geographies · written, not templated
Neighborhoods, the way Yorktown residents actually talk about them.
If you're buying
Understand the hamlet before you tour.
- → Which hamlet fits your commute pattern
- → Yorktown Central vs. Lakeland school district
- → Condos under $500K in Jefferson Valley
- → Privacy and acreage in Amawalk & Kitchawan
- → Taconic access from Shrub Oak
If you're selling
Price on day one like your market depends on it.
Yorktown is a school-district-sensitive market. Two homes on the same street can sell at different prices if one is Yorktown Central and one is Lakeland. A licensed professional will factor that in.
