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.

1. Yonkers – 25 Sales
2. Scarsdale – 18 Sales
3. New Rochelle – 16 Sales
4. Rye – 14 Sales
