Sale Price In Upstate New York

The struggling economy has had little effect on the sales of homes in upstate New York. The value of homes have went down in most places in the nation. Sales of homes in the United States on average have dropped 4.8 percent since last year. In Syracuse the sale of homes have increased 2.6percent in the same time span. "We have not seen mass appreciation. We never had. We've been steady, steady, steady" says Jane Mostow. Mostow is a certified real estate appraiser and broker. She says that Syracuse has not received the mass increases in the past that other places in the country have and Syracuse will not see the same decreases.
