MILLERTON — The 12-month trailing median price for any residence in the Town of North East was $410,000 at the end of June 2026. This includes all types of residences — from single-family homes and mobile homes to estates on large acreage — in both the Village of Millerton and the Town of North East, but excludes land and commercial sales. The median price for village homes, which are generally on smaller parcels, was $420,000.

The town’s $410,000 median is lower than the $437,000 median recorded for the 12 months ending June 30, 2025, but well above the 2023–24 median of $369,000. In contrast, village home prices have steadily increased over the past three years, rising from $365,000 in 2024 to $392,000 in 2025 and $420,000 in 2026 as more renovated homes came on the market.

The number of residential sales in North East on a rolling 12-month basis has remained within a three-year range of 25 to 40 annually, including the village. A total of 28 residences were sold in the 12 months ending June 30, 2026, compared with 30 sales in the period ending June 30, 2025, and 37 sales in the 12 months ending June 30, 2024. Village sales have fluctuated from year to year, with 12 sales in the 12 months ending June 30, 2024, six in 2025 and 12 in the most recent 12-month period.

Currently, there is roughly a one-year supply of homes on the market. As of July 1, approximately 27 single-family homes were listed for sale. Seven were listed above $1 million, while five were listed below the current median price of $410,000. By comparison, 10 parcels of land were listed on the MLS, with asking prices ranging from $49,000 for a building lot to $3,495,000.

With memoir...the character only knows what the character knows.
—Janice Erlbaum

In “Girlbomb: A Halfway Homeless Memoir,” published in 2006, author Janice Erlbaum wrote about the years after she left her family’s Brooklyn apartment at 15, moving through shelters, group homes, squats, clubs and the streets of 1980s New York while somehow continuing to attend high school. The book has sold more than 75,000 copies, stayed in print for two decades and continues to find new readers.

Now Erlbaum, 57, lives in Millerton and on Saturday, Sept. 5, at 7:30 p.m., she will celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Girlbomb” with a reading at Black Rabbit Dispensary. The event is open to the public and will be livestreamed on Instagram.
