Looking for a Yonkers listing agent who knows this market inside and out? I’m Sherry Wiggs of Houlihan Lawrence, a top-1% Westchester listing agent with 20+ years of experience helping homeowners throughout Yonkers and Westchester prepare, market, and sell their homes for top dollar.
Selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make, and the right strategy, preparation, marketing, and negotiation can change your final result significantly. Whether you’re ready to sell now or just want to know what your home is worth today, I’ll build a plan around your goals, your timeline, and your home.
Why Yonkers Homeowners Choose Sherry Wiggs as Their Listing Agent
Local expertise matters
Yonkers is Westchester’s largest city and one of its most varied — riverfront condos near the Metro-North waterfront line, co-ops, and single-family homes across dozens of distinct neighborhoods. That range means pricing and marketing a Yonkers home takes more than a countywide average; it takes knowing how your specific block and housing type compares to what’s actually closing nearby. As a Yonkers listing agent, that’s exactly how I approach every listing.
As a real estate investor myself, I look at your home from a buyer’s perspective. I can walk through and tell you exactly which improvements will pay off on your sale — and which aren’t worth your time or money. That insight saves my sellers from overspending and helps them walk away with more.
A strategic selling process
Every successful sale starts before the home ever hits the market. I work with homeowners to:
- Evaluate current market conditions
- Recommend strategic pricing
- Identify improvements that may increase value
- Coordinate preparation, staging, and presentation
- Build a customized marketing plan
- Negotiate effectively to protect your interests
Marketing Your Yonkers Home for Maximum Exposure
Today’s buyers start their search online. Your home needs more than a listing — it needs a strategy. My marketing approach includes:
- Professional photography and compelling property presentation
- Digital marketing across major platforms
- Video marketing and social media exposure
- Targeted promotion to qualified buyers
- Houlihan Lawrence’s regional network
Understanding the Yonkers Real Estate Market
As of my most recent market update, Yonkers had 98 single-family homes on the market, 137 co-ops, and 22 condominiums, with prices ranging from co-ops in the $90,000s up to single-family homes near $2 million. Over the last thirty days, 58 properties sold in Yonkers, and 64% of those closed at or above asking price — even with more inventory available than in some smaller Westchester communities, well-priced homes are still attracting strong buyer interest. Houlihan Lawrence’s broader data puts Yonkers’ median sale price around $889,000, up 13.4% year over year, with homes averaging about 46 days on market. Because Yonkers varies so much block to block, getting a read specific to your neighborhood — not just a citywide number — is essential when you’re deciding when and how to sell.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right listing agent in Yonkers?
Look for someone who tracks Yonkers specifically, not just Westchester broadly — pricing, buyer demand, and housing type (single-family, co-op, or condo) vary widely from one Yonkers neighborhood to the next. Ask about recent sales in your area, their marketing plan, and how they’d price your home against what’s actually closing nearby.
What does a Yonkers listing agent do that I can’t do myself?
A listing agent prices your home against real local comps, coordinates staging and professional photography, builds a marketing plan that reaches qualified buyers, manages showings, and negotiates offers on your behalf — all things that directly affect your final sale price.
How long does it typically take to sell a home in Yonkers?
Homes in Yonkers have recently been averaging around 46 days on market, though well-priced, well-prepared homes are often moving faster given current demand. Pricing and presentation are the two biggest factors in how fast a home sells and for how much.
What does it cost to work with a listing agent in Yonkers?
Commission structures vary and are negotiable. I’ll walk you through exactly what’s included — staging guidance, professional photography, marketing, and negotiation — so you know what you’re getting before you commit to anything.
