Sales of existing single-family homes fell sharply in area counties during October as the region experienced the slower housing market hitting much of the country, according to preliminary data from the New York State Association of Realtors.
In Westchester County, sales dropped 17.3 percent to 377 home compared to a year earlier. In Rockland County, they fell 12.6 percent to 132 homes. In Putnam, sales dropped 27.9 percent to 80 homes.
The report also listed the median sales prices by county and the change from a year earlier: Westchester, $615,000 (down 4.7 percent); Rockland, $470,000 (down 6.6 percent); and Putnam, $412,500 (up 0.6 percent). Statewide, home sales dropped 7.3 percent to 8,721 units, and the median sales price fell 6 percent to $235,000.
