The Typical Yonkers Home Is Worth About $500,000

Up nearly 5% in one survey

The new figure is up from $478,000 in the previous survey (2019–2023), an increase of about 4.9%. Because each Census figure averages five years of responses, the change shows the general direction of prices rather than a single year’s jump.

Still cheaper than the rest of Westchester

Yonkers homes are still valued well below the Westchester County median. In the Census Bureau’s 2024 one-year survey, the median Yonkers home was valued at $521,700, about three-quarters of the Westchester County median of $691,100.

What the Census number measures

The Census Bureau asks homeowners what they think their home would sell for. That makes it a good measure of the value of homes people already own, including condos and co-ops, but it isn’t the same as recent sale prices. Prices for homes listed for sale today can be quite different.
