So I posted last week there’s this gorgeous house in Croton that had 1k views as a “coming soon”. Well said house has more than 5k views now and we went to the open house today. House was amazing. Better than the photos even. There were so many people there, it was a mad house. Cars couldn’t even get out of the (very long) driveway. Apparently they have multiple offers already, all cash with no contingencies. Not a surprise. We are not all cash, so will probably not be able to get it unless we go high and waive all contingencies too. So, all this is to say the Westchester housing market is still INSANE even at current mortgage rates.

Guys, I’m getting so discouraged. As title says, there is a “coming soon” listing in Croton at almost $2M and already has almost 1000 views and 150 saves on Zillow. It looks like the most amazing trophy property of course, with high ceilings and walls of windows. I posted recently that we’ve been trying to find a house in the area for a while, and upped our budget to 2ish and this is pretty much my dream house but with this many views and saves, I’m afraid this house will go way above ask. Do Zillow views and saves correlate with selling price and speed, or do most people just save it to check final sell price?

Hi guys, my husband and I are looking to move from NYC to Westchester with our 4 year old. We’ve been looking at houses in the river towns from Tarrytown up to Croton. We have a healthy budget but there’s still bidding wars everywhere. Market seems to be peaking (I know historically it has always gone up). Thoughts on renting a single family home vs buying in this market?
