Mount Pleasant buyers are still facing a tight market.

The clearest sign is simple: the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 72 homes for sale across Mount Pleasant in the three months ending August 31, 2026, while 116 sales were already pending. New listings also trailed sales, with 115 new listings and 125 homes sold, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator.

That does not mean every home sold overnight. Some ZIP codes took a little longer than last year. But the bigger story is still tight supply. Buyers have a little more room in 10591, where the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 35 homes for sale, but across Mount Pleasant the pool is still small.

Want your street's numbers? Comment with your street name, and I can send back what sold nearby in the three months ending August 31, 2026.

🔥 TWO MORE UNDER CONTRACT! 🔥

Big shoutout to John Ferriello for getting TWO buyers under contract! 🏡🏡

📍 Mahopac, NY — This one was more than a year in the making. John stayed committed to his buyer through a long search, and that patience and persistence finally paid off with the right home.

📍 Larchmont, NY — John put his negotiation skills to work and secured a great deal for his buyer, helping them walk into their new home with equity from day one. 💰

Two completely different transactions. Same approach: patience, strategy, negotiation, and putting the client first.

Congratulations to John and both of his buyers! 👏

You are not crazy! 🤪

One of the biggest frustrations I hear from buyers is:

“Stephen… we have an $800,000 budget. Why does it feel like we can’t buy anything?”

The answer is not always that homes are “too expensive.”

In today’s Westchester market, many well-priced homes receive multiple offers, and more than half are selling above the asking price.

That means the list price is often just the starting point.

The better question isn’t:

❌ What can I afford?

It’s:

✅ Where can my budget actually compete?

That is where strategy matters.

If you’re planning to buy in Westchester and want honest advice about where your budget gives you the best opportunity, send me a message.

📩 DM me BUDGET and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Trust. Guidance. Results.

Not every real estate story is about selling over asking...

Sometimes it is about having the discipline to change the strategy when the market gives you new information.

I recently had the privilege of representing one of Pleasantville's well known local property owners on the sale of one of their homes. Going into the listing, our plan was to price it at $1.1 million.

Then the market changed.

A competing property hit the market at $1.035 million, forcing us to rethink our positioning. Rather than chase the higher price, we adjusted and listed at $999,000.

Then something happened that many sellers struggle to accept.

Seven days passed.

Plenty of interest. Plenty of showings. Zero offers.

Instead of hoping the market would suddenly change, we changed our strategy.

We repositioned the home to $899,000.

Within 48 hours, we had 9 offers.

The home ultimately sold for $970,000.

The lesson?

Pricing is not about what you hope your home is worth. It is about understanding buyer psychology, competition, and knowing when to pivot before the market makes the decision for you.

🏡 Sometimes buying a home is exciting. Sometimes it is urgent.

When Angela's buyer found out the home he was renting was being sold, he suddenly had a deadline. He needed to find a place to call home and move in before time ran out.

That is where preparation, strategy, and strong negotiation made all the difference.

Angela worked quickly to find the right opportunity, negotiated a great deal on this Yonkers co-op, and helped keep the entire transaction on track so her buyer was able to move into his new home right on time.

A stressful situation turned into a fresh start.

Congratulations to Angela Hernandez and her buyer on a successful closing! 🎉🏡

If you are renting and wondering whether buying might make more sense before your next lease renewal, send Angela a message. She would be happy to help you explore your options.

A chapter of Pleasantville NY history is coming to an end. 😢

After serving the community since 2001, Key Food⁠ will permanently close its doors on July 18th 2026. Whether you loved shopping here or had your own opinions about the prices, one thing is certain….it has been a familiar part of our Pleasantville NY community for nearly 25 years.

For me, it was the fresh bagels (and rolls) and the premium meats…for others it was the beautiful flower bouquets, Tracy at the deli counter, and the friendly staff 😁

Local businesses become more than places to shop. They become part of our routines, our conversations, and our community.

💬 What will you miss about Key Food?

🎉 Congratulations to Tameka Nelson on TWO closings in just 7 days! 🎉

What makes these transactions special is not the homes themselves. It is the people and the dreams behind them.

🏡 Buyer #1 had one non negotiable requirement. They wanted to be close to family. Specifically, within five minutes of their grandchildren. Every home we viewed was measured against the moments that mattered most. Today, they are exactly where they need to be...creating memories with family.

☕ Buyer #2 had a different vision. After years of hard work, they dreamed of a peaceful retirement surrounded by nature. A place where the mornings begin with sunshine, a great cup of coffee, and the quiet serenity of a rural setting. This week, that dream became reality.

Real estate is never just about buying a home...it's about helping people build the life they envision for themselves.

Congratulations to both families on this exciting new chapter, and congratulations to our team member, Tameka, for making it happen for her clients! 🎉🎊

Huge congratulations to Angela Hernandez on helping her buyers secure the home of their dreams after a journey that tested persistence, patience, and commitment every step of the way.

This was not just a transaction. This was months of dedication.
Showings with a newborn in tow. 😳

Hundreds of hours spent on conference calls building offer strategies and adjusting game plans in real time….

Over a dozen offers written and negotiated…..

Hundreds of miles driven across Westchester and beyond….

Most people only see the “SOLD” sign. They do not see the sacrifices, the late nights, the emotional ups and downs, or the relentless commitment it takes to keep pushing forward when the market keeps saying “not yet.”

Angela never stopped fighting for her clients and it paid off in the best way possible.

Congratulations to her amazing buyers on officially getting the house they dreamed about, and congratulations to Angela for showing exactly what dedication, heart, and commitment look like in real estate.

Proud to have her representing Astor Lane Realty. 😊
