Why White Plains Remains One Of Westchester's Most Watched Real Estate Markets

Westchester County Realtor John Buoninfante breaks down what's driving sustained buyer and seller interest in White Plains in 2026.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - Rezul -- White Plains continues attracting strong attention from buyers, sellers, and investors researching the Westchester County real estate market. According to John Buoninfante, Westchester County Realtor and Associate Broker at Real Broker NY LLC, several key factors continue driving demand throughout White Plains in 2026.

"White Plains offers something increasingly rare in the suburbs — true walkability combined with suburban square footage. Buyers coming from Manhattan and the outer boroughs recognize the value immediately. You get a real downtown, Metro-North access, and homes that give you room to breathe. That combination continues supporting demand even when the broader market softens."
— John Buoninfante, Westchester County Realtor

A CITY WITH SUBURBAN ADVANTAGES

White Plains is Westchester County's most urbanized city while still maintaining the residential character that draws families from New York City. Its downtown corridor places restaurants, retail, entertainment, and commuter access within close reach of single-family homes, condominiums, and co-ops across multiple price points.

TRANSIT ACCESS CONTINUES DRIVING DEMAND

Express Metro-North trains reach Grand Central Terminal in approximately 38 minutes, positioning White Plains as one of the most commuter-friendly communities in Westchester County relative to housing costs. Strong commuter demand has historically helped support White Plains home values even during broader market slowdowns.

INVENTORY REMAINS A MAJOR FACTOR

Limited new construction combined with homeowners reluctant to give up historically low mortgage rates has kept inventory below pre-pandemic levels. Sellers continue benefiting from strong pricing, while buyers face elevated competition for well-positioned listings.

WHAT BUYERS AND SELLERS SHOULD KNOW

Buoninfante advises buyers to secure mortgage pre-approval before beginning their search and recommends sellers focus heavily on pricing strategy and presentation.

"White Plains is not a market where you want to be unprepared. Whether you're buying or selling, local expertise makes a measurable difference in outcome."
