The Westchester Market: From Hot to Healthy?
The latest Market Hotness Rank from Realtor.com® and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) shows that Westchester County’s housing market could be transitioning toward a more balanced pace after two years of intense competition. The rank measures how “hot” an area’s market is compared to all U.S. counties — with 1 representing the hottest and 1,612 the coolest in the nation.

Ralph’s Take
The Hotness Rank is best read in context, it’s a comparative measure, not a report card. Even if Westchester isn’t sitting near the top spot, it’s still one of the stronger, more active markets in the country. A higher rank doesn’t always mean demand is fading; it can simply reflect fewer listings, longer selling times, or seasonal slowdowns. What we’re seeing now could be the market catching its breath after two years of sprinting.
