Homes are selling quickly

East Syracuse offers highly rated public schools, proximity to downtown and easy access to the local highways, but the main reason houses are selling so quickly here is because there aren’t that many for sale. “There’s super low inventory. If one comes open, it’s going to move fast,” says Glenn Riemenschneider, a Realtor with eXp Realty, a central New York resident representing the area since 2013. “We’re still in a sellers’ market here. Homes are selling for over asking price. People are getting multiple offers. Homes are going under contract within a week.”
