The Sound Shore area of Westchester County, New York, is renowned as a luxury waterfront enclave featuring vibrant towns and diverse architectural homes. As of 2025, this region continues to be in high demand due to its coastal allure and proximity to New York City. The communities we service are Pelham, Larchmont, Rye, Harrison and Mamaroneck as well as the smaller areas in between. Here's a look at the current real estate market dynamics:

Westchester remains a top choice for New Yorkers seeking refuge from the city either year round, weekends, or seasonally. Many of Westchester's most exclusive properties are sold off-market, highlighting the importance of collaborating with a real estate professional who has access to these sought-after listings. As prices continue to rise, astute buyers understand that purchasing a luxury property in Westchester County represents a sound investment with a strong future.
My prediction is for ongoing growth in home sales and prices throughout the year, though at a more sustainable rate. The Sound Shore Westchester County area is expected to remain a seller's market, with demand continuing to outpace supply, but there is potential for market balance as inventory increases and mortgage rates stabilize.
Overall, the Sound Shore real estate market in Westchester County is characterized by strong growth, competitive buying conditions, and a dynamic mix of architectural styles and a robust community life.
