A Garage in Tarrytown Is Worth More Than You'd Think

Two homes go on the market in Tarrytown. Same town, same window of time, same buyer pool. One has a garage. One doesn't. The gap between what they sold for is not small.

Over the twelve weeks ending August 30, 2026, homes with a garage in Tarrytown sold for a median of $1,274,500. Homes without one sold for a median of $640,000. That is the sharpest, most statistically strong split in the entire dataset behind this report, and it dwarfs the town's overall median.

Put those two numbers side by side and it looks less like a feature and more like a different market entirely.

Garage: median sale price $1,274,500. No garage: median sale price $640,000.

Score them on what a buyer actually weighs. On price, the garage home wins by a wide margin. On what it says about the type of home, a garage tends to travel with more square footage and a larger lot, though this report only measures the sale price split itself, not why it exists. On negotiating room, neither side of this split has its own separate data on offers or days on market, so buyers and sellers should lean on the town's overall figures for that: Tarrytown homes overall sold at a median 100% of list price, with 48.1% selling above asking. On pace, the town's overall median time on market ran 93.5 days.

So who wins this comparison? Not "garage homes are better." For a buyer working with a fixed budget who has been stretching to compete in Tarrytown's over-asking, 93.5-days-on-market market, a home without a garage is the one that keeps more of that budget available for the rest of the house or for negotiating room elsewhere. For a seller whose home happens to have a garage, this split is a reason to expect the top of the range, not the middle.

Zoom out and Tarrytown's broader numbers back up a market with real movement in it. The median sold price across all of Tarrytown reached $932,000, up from $801,000 a year ago, a rise of about 16%. Homes sold, meanwhile, jumped to 54 this period from 31 a year ago, a rise of about 74%.

Days on market matter too. The median time to sell in Tarrytown ran 93.5 days this period. Sellers, on average, still got 100% of their asking price, unchanged from a year ago.

None of this means every Tarrytown home with a garage is worth twice one without. It means the split is real, it is large, and it is worth knowing before you set a price or make an offer.

What to watch next: whether the garage split holds as more homes sell, or whether it narrows once the pool of comparable sales grows. That's the number that will tell us if this is a real premium or a snapshot of an unusual twelve weeks.
