One part of Tarrytown-1B is moving much faster than the other

By Rica Greenwood
Real estate, Tarrytown-1B

Not every part of Tarrytown-1B is acting the same right now. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 174 homes sold across ZIPs 78731 and 78703 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 20.8% from the same months in 2025. But that combined number hides a real split between the two ZIP codes.

Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings nationally had price cuts in September 2026. That is the highest share since October 2022. Tarrytown-1B sellers are not all in the same position when it comes to that pressure.

The split: 58 days versus 81 days

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median days on market at 58 in ZIP 78731. In ZIP 78703, it was 81 days. That is 23 more days sitting on the market. For a seller, that gap matters when you are setting a price.

What the sale-to-list ratio tells you

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the average sale-to-list ratio at 97% in ZIP 78731. In ZIP 78703 it was 95.1%. That 1.9-point gap means buyers in 78703 are, on average, landing a little more off the asking price. For buyers, that is room to negotiate. For sellers in 78703, it is a reason to price carefully from the start.

The sale-to-list ratio in 78731 also moved up 0.9 points from a year ago, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. In 78703 it moved down 1 point over the same period. The two ZIP codes are heading in opposite directions.

Speed: homes going under contract quickly

The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 29.8% of homes in ZIP 78731 went under contract within two weeks of listing. In ZIP 78703, that share was 16.7%. Nearly 3 in 10 homes in 78731 found a buyer fast. In 78703, fewer than 2 in 10 did.

Prices dipped in both ZIP codes

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in ZIP 78731 at $1,125,000 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 14.8% from the same months in 2025. In ZIP 78703, the median was $1,245,000, down 8.5% year over year. Prices fell in both areas. That is an honest admission worth knowing before you pick a number.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported that U.S. house prices rose 2.4% from August 2025 to August 2026. Both Tarrytown-1B ZIP codes moved the other way. Local conditions here are not following the national trend.
