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.
(Based on Mid-Hudson Valley Market Report – Q1 2025)
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.
New listings were down 3.07% compared to Q1 2024—just 664 homes hit the market.
Fewer listings = more competition = good news for sellers!
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.
