Poughkeepsie, NY Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

Poughkeepsie closes a lot of homes into a narrow band, which makes its median unusually informative: sales over the last 12 months land close together, so the citywide number is a real anchor rather than an average of extremes.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 310
• •Median sold price, last 12 months: $357,250
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $210
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $287,000 and $428,500

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 310 closed sales in Poughkeepsie over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $357,250. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $287,000 and $428,500. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 297 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $152 and $253 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Poughkeepsie over the last 12 months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $287,000 and $428,500. Among the 45 New York markets with a published band, Poughkeepsie's middle-half spread ($287,000 to $428,500) ranks 9th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

The Poughkeepsie angle

Poughkeepsie's closings sit in a comparatively narrow range, tighter than most markets we track. Across 310 closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, the median closed sale price was $357,250, and the middle half of sales closed between $287,000 and $428,500. With that much clustering the median has real predictive weight, and the pricing question is whether your subject is a typical example rather than what the market is doing overall. The quartiles fall at broadly similar distances from the median, with slightly more of the room lying above it.

From market read to offer price

A tight market makes the next step easier: the citywide anchor sits close to most homes, and a report only has to explain the gap. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Poughkeepsie address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Poughkeepsie over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Poughkeepsie city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 17% of the 310 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $377,750.
