SOLD! 3 of Top 50 Cities Where Homes Are Selling the Fastest in New York

If you're looking to buy a home, you may want to act fast. Properties aren't staying on the market long and with low inventory, you're options may be limited, especially if you're looking in areas where homes are selling the fastest.

Gone are the days of casually browsing hundreds of homes, touring dozens to see if it's the right fit for your family, then making an offer weeks later. Now, if you see something you like, you need to make an offer right away. And your offer probably isn't the only one owners are considering either.
