🌷 Spring 2025 Real Estate Update: Is It the Right Time to Sell in Dutchess County?

Debbie Allan May 3, 2025

The spring housing market is heating up—and the numbers are showing some real momentum. Nationally, pending home sales jumped 6.1% in March—the biggest monthly gain since late 2023—according to the National Association of REALTORS®. That’s great news for sellers who may have been waiting for the right time to make a move.

But what’s happening locally here in Dutchess County? Let’s take a look at what Q1 2025 is telling us—and how it might just be your sign to jump in.


📍 Dutchess County Market Snapshot – Q1 2025

(Based on Mid-Hudson Valley Market Report – Q1 2025)

💰 Prices Are Still Climbing

  • The median sales price for single-family homes rose to $469,000, up 13.01% from Q1 last year.

  • Condos saw a similar trend, with a median price of $322,500, a 26.7% year-over-year jump.

📉 Inventory Is Still Tight

  • New listings were down 3.07% compared to Q1 2024—just 664 homes hit the market.

  • Fewer listings = more competition = good news for sellers!

📉 Slight Dip in Sales Activity

  • Closed sales totaled 512, which is a 2.85% drop from the same time last year.

  • Homes are sitting a little longer—75 days on market compared to 67 in January—but this gives buyers more time to decide, while sellers still benefit from strong prices.
