Home Prices in CNS NY
The median home price is $265,000, reflecting a 7.9% year-over-year increase. This appreciation indicates continued demand and stable value growth within the North Syracuse submarket.
On a month-over-month basis, the median price sits at $244,600, down from $259,000 the previous month. Short-term shifts like this are common and do not necessarily signal weakening demand, especially when annual appreciation remains positive.
Overall, CNS continues to demonstrate pricing resilience supported by consistent buyer activity.
Inventory and New Listings
There are currently 49 total homes for sale, down from 57 the previous month. This decline in inventory tightens supply and can contribute to continued pricing support.
26 new listings entered the market, up from 23 the prior month. While new inventory is increasing modestly, it has not outpaced buyer demand.
With supply declining and new listings rising only slightly, CNS remains a competitive environment for available homes.
Homes Sold and Market Activity
A total of 43 homes sold, the same as the previous month, showing steady transaction volume.
Homes are moving quickly, with an average of 7 days on market, up slightly from 6 days previously. Even with this small increase, a one-week selling timeline reflects strong buyer urgency and limited hesitation.
The data confirms that well-priced homes continue to attract fast interest.

Homes in CNS are selling at 100.5% of list price, up from 102.6% the previous month.
