According to Joe Houlihan, managing partner of Houlihan & O’Malley, "The median single-family home price in Bronxville Village was not as affected by the 2008 market crash as was the volume of sales, which suffered a big hit." Houlihan says that 2008 and 2009 were the low points, with sales volume at 20 and 22 homes, respectively. In 2010, sales volume spiked to 59 homes, and then in 2011 it receded to 39 sales. But 2012 was the year that sales volume roared back from pre-recession records to 61 homes. In 2013 the trend continued with 60 home sales. By year-end 2014, there was a repeat performance at the 58-unit level. The volume of sales for 2014 represents a 190% increase over 2008.
In the Bronxville P.O. area, single-family home sales rose from 26 in 2008 to 63 in 2014, a rise of 142 percent. Comparing this to Westchester County as a whole, sales volume rose from 3,811 in 2008 to 5,402 in 2014, an increase of almost 42 percent.
The highest priced home to sell in 2014 in Bronxville Village went for $5,233,000, while in the Bronxville P.O. area, the highest sale was $2,301,000. In Westchester, the most expensive home sold for $27.5 million (Ron Howard's house, located on a 32-acre property in Armonk and Greenwich, which was the highest residential home sale in Westchester County history).
