Market snapshot
Zillow’s Home Value Index places the typical Wurtsboro home at $277,339, a 1.8% decline from a year earlier. Inventory stood at 39 homes for sale as of January 31, 2026, suggesting more choice than many buyers saw during the tight post‑pandemic years.
The median list price was about $351,450 at the same point. Realtor.com reports conditions as balanced, meaning supply and demand are roughly even. For buyers, that can translate into steadier pricing and room for negotiation; for sellers, realistic pricing remains key.
What’s for sale
Current listings range widely in price and property type:
• Village-area homes under $300K, including three-bedroom properties around the mid‑$200Ks.
• Smaller cottages and seasonal homes listed near $150K–$200K.
• Vacant land parcels from roughly $10K to $75K, plus larger acreage offered at higher price points.
This mix reflects Wurtsboro’s blend of year‑round residences, weekend homes and buildable lots.
Outlook
Nationally, Zillow reported in early March that home values rose for the first time in several months as the spring market begins to ramp up. Locally, the slight year‑over‑year dip combined with moderate inventory suggests a steadier, less frenetic season ahead compared with peak bidding‑war periods.
