Why Windham Real Estate Is Different From the Rest of the Catskills

Written By Susan Miller

At first glance, Windham may seem similar to other Catskills towns—but its real estate market operates differently.

A True Resort Market

Windham’s identity as a ski destination creates a distinct rhythm. Pricing, demand, and inventory all reflect seasonal interest, second-home ownership, and lifestyle buyers.

Limited Expansion

Geography and zoning limit large-scale development. This keeps inventory tight and protects long-term value but also means buyers must act decisively when the right property appears.

Community Matters

Windham balances tourism with a strong local community. Buyers who take time to understand neighborhoods, access points, and year-round dynamics tend to have the best ownership experience.

Bottom line: Windham isn’t just another Catskills market—it’s its own category.
