Hudson Valley

Regional Housing Market Report

Q1 2026

Housing prices across the Hudson Valley continued rising in Q1 2026—far outpacing inflation since 2019—while inventory saw a slight seasonal dip, leaving broader supply trends uncertain until spring data arrives. Meanwhile, homeownership is becoming less accessible, especially for first-time buyers, as higher costs and larger down payments increasingly favor repeat buyers and push the typical entry age upward.

For more than a decade, Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress has compiled annual and quarterly reports that analyze the housing market across our region. These reports have allowed us to spot trends, anomalies, challenges, and opportunities within the homebuying market across our nine counties. Our analysis of the regional housing market is part of Pattern’s broader work on housing through our Center for Housing Solutions.
