Median price = the median of the year’s twelve monthly medians; “Change” compares those twelve months with the same twelve months a year earlier, the method used for every market direction on this site. Sale/list = median of final sale price over final asking price.

* 2021 sales count withheld: the MLS record for Suffolk County is materially incomplete for 2021, so a count would understate it. The median price for 2021 is shown; it is built from the sales that are on record.

Three eras in 12 years

The biggest single-year gain was 2021, at +20%. No calendar year from 2014 to 2025 saw the median fall by more than 2%.

Negotiating room changed with it: the median single-family home closed at 96% of its final asking price in 2013 and at 101% in 2025.

The median single-family sale price in Suffolk County went from about $325K in 2013 to about $700K in 2025, a change of roughly +115%. Figures are medians of closed sales in the MLS, rounded.

What was the median single-family home price in Suffolk County each year from 2013 to 2025?

2013: $325K; 2014: $325K; 2015: $340K; 2016: $345K; 2017: $365K; 2018: $385K; 2019: $410K; 2020: $445K; 2021: $535K; 2022: $565K; 2023: $595K; 2024: $655K; 2025: $700K. Each figure is the median of that year’s monthly medians of closed single-family sales, rounded.

Not on a calendar-year basis. Comparing each year’s twelve months with the same months a year earlier, the single-family median never fell by more than 2% in any year from 2014 to 2025. Individual months and neighborhoods can differ.

Which way are Suffolk County home prices moving now?

The single-family median has risen about 6%, comparing July through September 2026 against July through September 2025 — the same 3 closing months a year apart. This describes recent closed sales, not a forecast.

Why does this Suffolk County history start in 2013?

2013 is the first complete year of sales in the MLS feed this analysis uses. Earlier years hold too few sales in the feed for Suffolk County to describe the market, so starting earlier would show the data filling in rather than the market.

How these figures are built
  • Source: closed sales in the MLS feed, 2013-01-01 to 2026-10-03. Only sales of single-family homes, co-ops and condos — rentals, land and commercial are excluded, as are listings whose sellers opted out of internet display.
  • Why 2013: earlier years hold too few sales in the feed to describe the market. The first complete year is 2013.
  • Each year’s price is the median of its twelve monthly medians. “Change” and the month-by-month strip use the site’s single market-direction method: the same calendar months a year apart, with a ±2% steady band.
  • Figures are rounded to the nearest $5,000 (or $10,000 above $1 million) and whole percentages. They describe the market, not any individual home.
  • Days on market is not shown across these years: the MLS’s way of counting it changed at its 2021 data migration, so a 2019 figure and a 2023 figure do not measure the same thing.
  • Sales counts for 2021 are withheld because the MLS record is incomplete for part of that year; medians are kept.
  • Brooklyn is not covered: most Brooklyn sales are recorded on a different MLS.
