Western Catskills, reservoirs, and second home country
Delaware County is the western Catskills: high ground, trout water, and a buyer pool that reaches all the way down to New York City. Prices vary more here than anywhere else we work, because a parcel in Andes and a parcel in Walton are selling to two different people.

Single family residence sales reported in Delaware County for September 2026. Percentages compare the same period a year earlier. Figures come from the regional MLS feed and are refreshed monthly, so they lag the live market by a few weeks.
A large share of the county sits inside the New York City watershed, which brings the Cannonsville and Pepacton reservoirs, land protection programs, and specific rules about what can be built where. Watershed status can add value or add restrictions depending on the parcel, and it is worth understanding before you commit.
The second home market runs strongest around Andes, Margaretville, and Roxbury. Delhi and Walton are more year round, with SUNY Delhi in the mix. Short term rental rules are set town by town, so if income is part of your plan, that is the first thing we check.
These are the population centers we work in most often across Delaware County. We list and show throughout the county, including the hamlets that never make a search filter. The highlighted ones have a page of their own.
