Are you a homeowner? Maybe you are looking to move up to a bigger home or maybe you are thinking about your first home, or starter home as it's called. Some people stay in their starter home for the entire time they are a homeowner. I have...so far.

Of course, just like anything else, the price of buying a home continues to rise. Stacker.com notes that in December 2024, the typical home value in the United States was just over $358,000, which was 2.6% higher than December 2023.

Stacker.com took a look at a few communities near Binghamton (the Southern Tier of New York), breaking down the typical home value from January 2019 to 2024 that seem to have experienced the fastest-growing prices in the area.
