AMENIA — The 12-month trailing median price for a single-family home in Amenia came in at $396,420 for the period ending Feb. 28, 2026 — its highest point since May of 2024 as home values across Dutchess County continued to edge higher.

The figure marks a signficant increase from the $349,900 median recorded for the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2025, but less than $405,00 for the comparable period ending Feb 29, 2024.

Single-family home sales in Amenia, measured on a 12-month rolling basis, remained within their typical range of two to three transactions per month. A total of 32 homes sold in the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2026, up from 23 sales during the same period a year earlier and largely in line with the 31 sales recorded for the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2024. (Sales figures exclude condominium transactions at Silo Ridge.)

As of March 25, 2026, eight single-family homes were listed on OneKey MLS, including three priced below the current median and three listed above $5 million.

An additional seven parcels of land were on the market, with asking prices ranging from $79,000 to $2.379 million — unchanged from the previous month. The rental market included four apartments and four single-family homes.

On Monday, Oct. 26, a group of students, teachers and local residents gathered at the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville for a screening of the new short documentary “Matin.” The film tells the story of Matin Malikzada, a seventh-generation Afghani potter making a new life in New Milford, Connecticut. The film was made by local filmmaker Yonah Sadeh, creator of the Video Wall at the David M. Hunt Library, and Berkshires-based potter Hannah Wheeler, who were both present for the screening, along with Malikzada himself.

As a member of the seventh generation of his family to master the art of pottery, Malikzada had done things the way his family had for over a century. Istalif, the village where his family has lived for generations, was known throughout Afghanistan for its pottery, with wares sent across the country for use as everyday cups, bowls, plates and other vessels. The pottery-making families of Istalif gathered clay from the same mountain, about 30 to 45 minutes away by donkey. Every July, they would head north toward the Uzbekistan border to gather ishkar, a plant they processed by hand to make their signature glazes.

Crescendo’s 23rd season speaks to the heart and mind

Christine Gevert, founding artistic director of Crescendo, conducts the audience at a performance.

Steve Potter

For Christine Gevert, founding artistic director of Crescendo, music from centuries past is anything but a relic. It is a living, breathing art form, full of drama, emotional complexity and, occasionally, surprises. As the regional choral and period-instrument ensemble launches its 23rd season, Gevert is once again bringing forgotten masterpieces into the present.

“Early Music has been my lifelong passion and the focus of my specialization in Europe and South America,” Gevert said. “Bringing this repertoire to our audiences in a nuanced way that does justice to its incredible depth, intensity, and beauty is deeply important to me.”
