The percentage increase was the greatest in Westchester County, at 31%, followed by Rockland (26%), Orange (24%) and Putnam (22%). In most cases the increases among the various property classes brought the sales counts to pre-recession levels. In Westchester, for example, the 1,991 reported closings of single family houses during this third quarter were the most for any quarter since 2005. In all of the counties except Rockland, sales of condominiums and cooperatives outpaced single family houses as a percentage increase over last year.
