Irvington v/s Valhallah v/s White plains

[havoc315]

Yes, prices have dropped dramatically over the last year. Some sellers have incorporated this reality into the selling price, some still stick to outdated prices.

You can't expect every home to go for significantly less than list price -- it depends on whether the seller has already adjusted the price to reflect reality.

It is true that homes are selling for 100-200k less than 1-2 years ago.

Note that I started a new thread about the asking prices and selling prices to get more input for others.

Not sure if you're still checking this post, but I grew up in Valhalla, currently live in WP, and have a very close friend that was raised in Irvington. Reply back if you're still interested and I'll give you the whole scoop.
