Happy New Year! As the Scarsdale real estate market enters 2026, Greg Menell of Pendulum Property Group provides an in-depth analysis of key market indicators and what they mean for buyers, sellers, and homeowners in the coming year. You can also check out this week's home sales and the two featured listings below.
Scarsdale Housing Market Outlook: What to Expect in 2026 - Greg Menell, Pendulum Property Group
In 2025, Scarsdale’s housing market remained defined by low inventory and steady demand, pushing the median sale price up 9% to $2.465M. Notably, homes priced $3.0M+ accounted for 32% of sales, up from 21% in 2024.
- A full year of future sales in Scarsdale was effectively pulled forward between 2020–2022, as buyers fled NYC.
- Record-low inventory across Westchester and Connecticut, combined with significantly higher prices in Florida, has limited downsizing/retirement options.
- Lastly, even if would-be-sellers could find a place to go, many have been discouraged from moving, unwilling to trade their 3% mortgage rates for significantly higher financing costs.
