New York's standard purchase process applies

As elsewhere in New York State, New Rochelle purchase contracts typically involve attorney review, inspection, and financing contingencies.

Real new-construction options downtown

The active ~11,000-unit downtown development pipeline offers genuine new-construction options (e.g., 466 Main Street's 805 units) alongside the existing housing stock.

Confirm current pricing directly given the disclosed volatility

Given the real, disclosed and contradictory spread across housing-price sources, confirm current, specific-listing pricing directly before setting a purchase budget.
