North East home prices edge higher on lower volume

MILLERTON — The 12-month trailing median price for a residential property in the Town of North East was $415,000 for the period ending Feb. 28, 2026, representing a 7% jump from last year.

That figure includes all types of residences — from single-family homes and mobile homes to large estates — in both the Village of Millerton and the Town of North East, but excludes land and commercial sales. The median price for a home in the village alone was $388,000.

The townwide median was 7% higher than the $387,000 recorded for the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2025, but both figures were below the 2023-24 median of $565,000. In contrast, village home prices steadily increased over the last three years from $320,000 in 2024 to $385,000 in 2025 to $388,000 as renovated homes came on the market.

The number of residential sales in North East, measured on a 12-month rolling basis, remains within its three-year range of 25 to 35 annually, including the village. A total of 26 residences were sold in the 12 months ending on Feb. 28, 2026, down from the 32 sales in the period ending Feb. 28, 2025, and 31 sales for the 12 months ending Feb. 28, 2024. As village prices rose, the number of sales declined from nine in 2024 and 11 in 2025 to seven in the last 12 months, roughly one in three sales in the town.

Inventory of all homes remains limited. As of early April, there were nine single-family homes on the market townwide. Three were listed above $1 million, with only one listed below the current median price of $415,000. In contrast, 10 parcels of land are listed for sale on the MLS, with listing prices ranging from $129,000 for a building lot to $3,000,000.
