These are the five highest-priced home sales reported in the Syracuse metro area for the week ending October 11, 2026, and each came from a different Onondaga County community: Fayetteville, Skaneateles, Cicero, Clay and Baldwinsville. Together they totaled $3.34 million, with prices from $603,500 to $750,000.
The group takes in a Colonial in Skaneateles rebuilt from the studs out, a home on the lake in Cicero and a ranch in Clay built in 2018, the newest home of the five and the only one with a single story. In one of the sales, the same agent was on both sides.
No. 1 — $750,000 · 7942 Salt Springs Rd, Fayetteville, New York
The oldest home in the group is also the largest. Built in 1820, the two-story Fayetteville home sold for $750,000. It stands on a wooded 2.50-acre corner lot and has seven bedrooms, three full baths and a half bath, three fireplaces and 4,389 square feet of living space.
The property comes with a piece of local farm history. According to the listing, it was once Dotshome Farm, which belonged to Frank E. Dawley, an agricultural innovator. In its original form the farm covered more than 640 acres, grew more than 18 varieties of alfalfa and introduced Karakul sheep to the region. The property last sold for $395,000 in 2016.
High ceilings and inlaid hardwood floors are found throughout the home. The main level has a kitchenette and a mudroom as well as a solarium, a sitting room, a half bath, and formal living and dining rooms. An office doubles as a first-floor bedroom, and the laundry room can serve as another. Upstairs are the primary suite, with its own bath, and a front suite with a sitting room and full bath. A separate rear wing has three more bedrooms that share a full bath, along with their own sitting room and a private rear staircase to the lower level. The full walk-out basement has storage, a wine cellar and a planting shed that opens directly to the grounds.
The outbuildings are a large part of the property. A detached barn has a workshop, garage space for six vehicles on its main and lower levels, and a third-floor loft that looks out over the grounds. There is also an in-ground pool and a two-story pool house set up as a guest retreat, with a full kitchen, a powder room, a loft sleeping area and a midcentury-modern fireplace. A staircase from the pool house’s storage level leads to a wraparound deck.
The home went under contract five days after it was listed. Sarah Collins of Hunt Real Estate ERA was the listing agent, and Kirk Gilchrist of Bridgeview Real Estate represented the buyer.

The rebuild was aimed at efficiency as much as finish: spray-foam insulation, Marvin windows and a dual-fuel heat pump. Hardwood covers the main level, which has a living room, a formal dining room and a kitchen with dovetailed wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, a 36-inch workstation sink and two floor-to-ceiling pantries.
The home has three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath in 1,944 square feet.

The brick and vinyl-sided home stands on a 0.69-acre corner lot with mature trees and a flat backyard, with a two-car garage and a full basement. The property last sold for $420,000 in 2023.
It went under contract 26 days after it was listed. Derek Greene of The Greene Realty Group was the listing agent, and Peter J. Babbles of RE/MAX Masters represented the buyer.

No. 3 — $640,000 · 8875 Shellman Dr, Cicero, New York

The first floor is open, with the kitchen, dining and living areas in one space that looks out over a deep rear yard and the water. The primary bedroom upstairs also has a lake view. There is a deck, a fireplace, first-floor laundry, a walk-out basement and a detached two-car garage. The property last sold for $123,600 in 2014.

The newest home in the group is a 2018 ranch in Clay’s Country Meadows neighborhood. It went under contract two days after it was listed and sold for $625,000, above its asking price of $599,900.
A covered front porch leads into a single-level plan of 2,060 square feet. The great room has a cathedral ceiling and a gas fireplace set between windows, and the kitchen, also under a cathedral ceiling, has granite countertops, a large pantry and stainless appliances. It opens to both the great room and a morning room lined with windows, where a sliding glass door goes out to a brick paver patio and the fully fenced backyard. The dining room has a tray ceiling, crown molding and shadow-box trim.
All three bedrooms are on the main floor. The primary suite has a walk-in closet and a bath with separate vanities and a large tiled walk-in shower, while the other two bedrooms are on the opposite side of the home and share a full bath. The 0.71-acre property also has a mudroom with built-in lockers and a finished two-car garage with a Level 2 electric-vehicle charger. It last sold for $332,869 in 2019.
Renee Douglas Asterino of Coldwell Banker Prime Prop,Inc was on both sides of the sale, as the listing agent and as the buyer’s agent, after also representing the buyer of the Cicero home at No. 3.
