Long Island shows up on the third chart of the 10 most expensive areas in the country. The $376,900 median home price on the Island — where values rose 0.1 percent compared to the same quarter a year ago — makes the area the 8th most expensive.
The area labeled ‘New York/Long Island’, 6th on the list, refers to the greater New York metropolitan area that includes parts of northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The median price was $380,400, a 1.8 percent increase over a year ago.
