Real Estate Peek: Local Single-Family Homes Sell

By Kevin Zawacki

Single-family homes in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam are selling at a quicker pace now than they were last year, according to a new report released by the Hudson Gateway Association of Relators.

Real estate data shows all three counties saw a boost in second-quarter 2013 sales when compared to second-quarter 2012 sales. The Hudson Gateway group—a collection of realtors in the tri-county region, and Orange County—collected and culled the data.

The second-quarter breakdown:

Westchester: 

• 1,151 single-family houses sold in 2012 
• 1,425 sold in 2013 
• 23.8 percent increase

• 292 single-family houses sold in 2012 
• 313 sold in 2013 
• 7.2 percent increase

• 160 single-family houses sold in 2012
