New York State Real Estate Forecast

As with other large states, the New York real estate market covers a wide range of high-value urban properties and low-cost rural opportunities. Statewide, demand is increasing. The New York State Association of Realtors noted that median sale prices went up nearly 30% in the past year, to $470,000. Days on the market decreased slightly since 2021, and total inventory dropped below three months’ supply. Although the state median is higher than the country as a whole, there are many cities in New York with affordable housing prices, steady growth and reliable rental income.

Investors hoping to find a balanced market where they can choose from a variety of great neighborhoods should take a look at Buffalo. With a median sale price of about $190,000, the city is well below the national average of $430,000. Homes here tend to be on the market a little longer than the rest of the state, which provides more opportunities for you to get a good deal. Rent comes in at $1,200 per month, which is lower than the rest of the state but growing over time.

Syracuse

As the fifth-largest city in the state, Syracuse offers an urban feel without the high prices of other metropolitan areas. With median listing and sale prices around $150,000, you’re less likely to get caught in a bidding war. The rental market is growing steadily with an average near $1,300 per month.
