📊 Why this data is more reliable than other sites
The numbers on this page come from the NYC Department of Finance public records — every legally recorded property sale in Westchester Square, not just MLS-listed transactions. Sites like Zillow and StreetEasy only capture listings that go through their platforms, missing FSBO sales, off-market deals, and transfers that never hit the MLS. This dataset includes all of them.
We also remove bulk portfolio transfers, nominal sales, and non-arms-length transactions that would distort median prices — cleaning that most data sources don't do. The result is a more accurate picture of what individual homes are actually selling for in your market.
Data source: NYC Department of Finance, Rolling Sales Data — Bronx. Period: April 2025 – March 2026. Excludes $0 transfers, nominal sales, non-arms-length transactions, and bulk portfolio transfers identified through same-date/same-price pattern analysis. Last updated: May 2026.

Takeaway for Sellers
Westchester Square sees its strongest closing activity in January and April — the months highlighted in orange above. These peaks indicate when buyer demand is highest and the most transactions close.
Since the typical sale takes 3 months from listing to closing you should be listing approximately 3 months before these peak windows to position your home when competition among buyers is strongest.
The optimal listing date depends on your property type, your timeline, and current inventory levels. A strategy session can pinpoint the right window for your specific home.

What This Means for Sellers
Westchester Square's market is dominated by two-family homes — 41.4% of recent sales. Two-family buyers are split between owner-occupants (planning to live in one unit and rent the other) and investors (renting both units). Pricing strategy needs to account for both audiences: the rental income potential matters to investors, while owner-occupants weigh the owner-unit quality and the neighborhood's livability. A broker who understands both buyer profiles can position the listing to reach the highest bidder.
