What kind of house will $1.2 million buy in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam?
In Westchester, that price point will probably get you a roomy four- or five-bedroom house with amenities that may need some work. In Rockland and Putnam, you might get a slightly bigger and newer home with a pool or even river views.
Houses that fall into the $1- to $1.2 million range have remained popular among buyers since the start of the pandemic — especially buyers from New York City, who are typically millennial couples with children.
But choices are limited as inventory continues to be tight throughout the region.
