New York Area
Own vs Rent Trends
A higher share of owner-occupied homes often reflects stronger long-term ties to the community, since homeowners are more likely to stay in one place and invest in their neighborhoods. By contrast, areas with a larger renter population may be more transient, offering flexibility but sometimes less stability in housing markets.
It could also be an indication of market health, as affordable markets often have higher owner-occupancy rates.
The home listing price-to-income ratio in the New York area is 8
The ratio compares how expensive homes are in New York relative to household income. A higher ratio means homes cost more compared to what people earn.
A healthy price-to-income ratio is generally around 3 times your household's annual income (or less), but higher ratios can be sustainable depending on your rate, DTI, and more.

This chart shows the percentage of homes that sold each month, highlighting buyer demand and long-term market trends.

Largest overall VA lender (purchase and refinance) for six of the last nine years.
More VA purchase loans than any other lender for the past nine consecutive years
Over the last five years, Veterans United made more VA purchase loans than USAA, Navy Federal Credit Union, Rocket Mortgage, Wells Fargo and Freedom Mortgage combined.
Many buyers believe VA loans appraise low or take too long to close, but that's simply not true. With the right strategy, VA buyers can absolutely compete in New York's market. I've worked with Veterans from all walks of life, and the common thread is determination. They show up prepared and ready to succeed.
Conrad P.Veterans United Network Realty Agent
For many VA buyers, areas like Westchester and Long Island offer more inventory and better price points. But no matter where you're buying, it's important to feel comfortable in the location — not just financially qualified.
Akeem S.Veterans United Network Realty Agent
Some VA buyers expect sellers to cover closing costs, but that's rarely realistic in New York. Homes often go for asking price or more, and seller concessions just aren't common here. VA buyers should focus on homes priced in their budget and be ready to put money down at contract. Being strategic upfront can prevent a lot of frustration later.
