The Westchester housing boom is apparently over with slowing sales and lower home prices.

According to the Westchester-Putnam Multiple Listing Service, for six months last year the median price of a single-family home was more than $700,000. That price was a record high for the county. The latest numbers out for the first quarter of 2006 show that the price is now about $650,000. And in Putnam County the median price is down 8.5 percent from last year, with the home prices around $375,000.

The listing shows that only condo sales are still growing strong in Westchester.

The Bitter Blast logo is up. Once again, we are in it everybody. Good morning to you. Good morning to Matt. What are we looking at today? Yeah, this is the last day of this before conditions improve. But still it's another day. You want to dress in layers this morning and into the afternoon, all throughout the Hudson Valley. It's still a dark and early start into that six o'clock hour. Just before seven o'clock in the morning, we'll have a brighter sky around some sunshine to start off the day and we'll actually see, uh, not really see much in terms of any fl like we saw some of those snow showers yesterday, but just this kind of paints a picture of what's going on 37 for the high today. Still feeling like the twenties at best into the afternoon, but tomorrow's high is 46. It'll be chilly at times tomorrow. It can feel like the upper thirties into the afternoon, but not nearly as cold feeling as this right now. And what will feel into the afternoon today. So 13 is what it feels like in Middletown 22 in Poughkeepsie, right at 20 in white plains 19 in the city of Yonkers right now. So you want the, the gloves, the hat, the coat a few extra layers this morning and into the afternoon. Temperatures again today, mid thirties notice how there's a fair amount of gray by this afternoon. That's just clouds. Not as much in terms of flurry or snow shower activity is what we saw yesterday. Most of today will be dry and then overnight tonight it gets cold again with partly cloudy skies and then tomorrow expect a lot of sunshine on Thursday. It is the pick of the week temperatures recover into the mid forties during the afternoon hours. Tomorrow. Here's a look ahead. So big improvements tomorrow, in terms of how it feels outside, it will stay feeling like the upper forties to near 50 most of the next 10 days after today, a period of light to moderate rain showers midday, Friday through early Friday evening, Saturday, the drier, half of the weekend could be a couple of showers. Sunday, better chance for a few showers on Monday before turning drier into the middle of next week.
