Yes. New York is not just New York City — the state is huge, and many areas have extremely affordable home prices. In fact, according to New York State Association of Realtors data, more than 20 counties in the state had median home sale prices below the $200,000 mark.  In general, though, the closer you get to New York City, the higher prices will get. The overall statewide median price was $400,000 in July, which is lower than the nationwide median of $406,700.
