Why Buyers and Sellers Look at Yonkers
Yonkers is the largest city in Westchester County. It sits on the Hudson River just north of the Bronx, which makes it one of the closest Westchester addresses to Manhattan.
What sets Yonkers apart is choice. You will find co-ops and condos, single-family homes, multi-family properties and grand older houses, often within a few blocks of each other. That range gives first-time buyers, move-up buyers, downsizers and investors real options in the same city.
For sellers, that same variety means pricing takes local knowledge. Two homes a few streets apart can attract very different buyers. I have worked in this market for more than 26 years, and I price every Yonkers home street by street.
