$1.1 million village home tops 147 Onondaga County sales
A $1.1 million 1880 village home led 147 county sales as Onondaga County’s median hovered near $286,000 and the average price neared $288,000.
The Onondaga County Clerk’s office registered 147 home sales for the week of July 12 to 18, led by a $1.1 million old-style home built in 1880, a reminder that village addresses continue to command a steep premium even as most buyers are still trading around the county’s mid-$200,000s price band.
The county’s home-sale lists are built from public records in the clerk’s office, and the latest tally shows a market that stayed active after several other busy weeks this year. In the week of March 22 to 28, the county logged 104 sales, with the highest-priced home selling for $1.25 million in Skaneateles. The week of Feb. 2 to 8 produced 100 sales, topped by a $650,000 home in Skaneateles, while the week of Feb. 23 to March 1 brought 78 sales and a $1.8 million sale in Cicero.
Those price points show where the sharpest competition has clustered. Skaneateles has repeatedly surfaced at the top of the county’s weekly sales lists, and the July sale of the 1880 village home fits the same pattern of older, established neighborhoods drawing buyers willing to pay well above the regional norm. Cicero also produced a seven-figure sale earlier in the year, showing that the high end is not limited to one pocket of the county.
Broader market measures help explain the gap between headline sales and everyday affordability. Redfin put Onondaga County’s median sale price at $286,000 over the last three months as of June 2026. Realtor.com listed 2,420 recently sold homes in the county with a median sold price of $285,000. Against that backdrop, a $1.1 million village home sold for nearly four times the county’s median.
A Syracuse.com social post tied to an earlier weekly roundup put the average Onondaga County home price at $287,695, up nearly 20% from a year earlier. That combination of a rising average, a median stuck in the high $200,000s and recurring seven-figure village sales suggests buyers trying to enter established neighborhoods now face a much narrower path than they did a year ago.
