Wondering what the new year and a new administration could mean for the Scarsdale real estate market? We asked Jonathan Lerner of Five Corners Properties for his outlook and here is what he shared:

As we move into 2025, Scarsdale’s housing market is poised for a year of steady, balanced growth, bolstered by recent election results that have provided clarity on tax policies and infrastructure funding. Known for its tree-lined streets, top-rated schools, and convenient commute to New York City, Scarsdale remains a hotspot for families and professionals seeking suburban charm and accessibility.

Though recent years saw rapid home price increases, we’re likely to see a calmer pace in 2025 as interest rates remain high, inventory rises, and the local tax environment stabilizes—giving buyers more room to breathe.

With the recent election, policy shifts at the state and local levels are expected to impact Scarsdale's housing market, particularly in areas like property tax credits and incentives for sustainable home improvements. These changes may encourage sellers to be more flexible in negotiations, enhancing opportunities for prospective buyers in a market where demand remains strong.

Scarsdale’s appeal continues to attract families and young professionals seeking a blend of suburban peace and urban convenience.Overall, Scarsdale remains a solid choice in 2025, with the election’s influence adding a layer of confidence to prospective buyers and sellers alike. While price growth may slow, Scarsdale’s timeless community feel and proximity to NYC ensure its ongoing popularity. The town’s unique mix of community, convenience, and comfort keeps it one of Westchester’s most desirable places to call home.
