Babylon NY Homes Sold Prices 1/1/10 - 10/31/10 Babylon NY sold home prices are fluctuating this year. This is partly due to the luxury home prices. They are part of the average home prices you see in my charts. I am seeing more luxury homes selling in Babylon NY. That is a good sign so far. The average prices you see for each month doesn't mean that is what your Babylon NY home will sell for. It could sell for more or less. You can always call me day or evenings at (631) 703-0201 for a free, no-obligation market analysis of your Babylon NY home.   It would be nice to see the 2008 prices in Babylon NY but not now and probably not for a while.
