MILLERTON — Monthly county recordings of property transfers offer an objective look at what is actually selling in any town. In August and September, the Town of North East and the Village of Millerton recorded 10 transfers: six residential properties and four small parcels of land. Four of the homes sold for under $500,000, well below the 12-month median for September of $495,000, while one closed for more than $6 million.

Homes currently listed for sale present a very different picture. Of the more than 20 residential properties on the market, eight are listed at above $1 million and only five are priced below $500,000. The million-dollar-plus homes have been on the market for an average of more than eight months.
