In April, 245 homes closed in Westchester County, a 13% drop from April, 2010. This time last year, the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit was in place and set to expire in April, 30, 2010, creating a surge of activity that was fueled by the approaching deadline. As a result, numbers from the first half of last year are a bit skewed when compared to this year.

- Yonkers – 25 Sales
- Scarsdale – 18 Sales
- New Rochelle – 16 Sales
