As inflation continues to hit home for Americans, data from the New York State Association of REALTORS\u00ae<\/a> shows more New York homebuyers stayed on the sidelines in this spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year over year, New York state experienced an 8% decline in sales and 2.4% increase in the median home sales price to $430,000 in April. Both of these rates surpass changes seen at the national level, where home sales dropped 1% year-over-year and the median home sales price increased 1.4% to $408,800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This summer, there\u2019s still ample opportunity to find single-family homes below the median price. Data from three New York-area real estate boards shows pockets of homes below $430,000 across the state. This represents an opportunity for homebuyers to make the move to one of America\u2019s most iconic areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoocasa analyzed data from NYSAR, the <\/span>Greater<\/span> Capital Association of REALTORS\u00ae <\/a>and the Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS\u00ae<\/a> to uncover which counties in New York state could represent the best deal for those looking to break into the market or get a fresh start. The following data uses NYSAR\u2019s New York state April median home sales price of $430,000 as a point of comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n
