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 Queens 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.
The biggest single-year gain was 2016, at +16%. Calendar years in which the median fell by more than 2%: 2023 (−3%).
Negotiating room changed with it: the median single-family home closed at 96% of its final asking price in 2013 and at 98% in 2025.
Each month below compares the 3 closing months ending then with the same 3 months a year earlier (single-family, median). Inside ±2% is read as steady.
Shown separately because they are different homes at different prices — folding them into one median would mostly measure the mix.
| Type | 2013 | 2019 | 2025 | Change | Sales ’25 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Co-op | $190K | $295K | $325K | +72% | 2,553 |
| Condo | $395K | $530K | $610K | +55% | 1,100 |
Where does your home sit in this history? A county median is a starting point; what your home is worth depends on the sales around it.
The median single-family sale price in Queens went from about $480K in 2013 to about $865K in 2025, a change of roughly +80%. Figures are medians of closed sales in the MLS, rounded.
2013: $480K; 2014: $490K; 2015: $495K; 2016: $570K; 2017: $600K; 2018: $655K; 2019: $655K; 2020: $675K; 2021: $745K; 2022: $810K; 2023: $785K; 2024: $825K; 2025: $865K. Each figure is the median of that year’s monthly medians of closed single-family sales, rounded.
Yes. The single-family median fell by more than 2% in 2023, measured by comparing each year’s twelve months with the same months a year earlier.
Roughly the same number. About 3,000 single-family homes sold in 2025 against an average of about 2,800 a year in 2016–2019 (+5%).
The single-family median has held broadly steady, 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.
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 Queens to describe the market, so starting earlier would show the data filling in rather than the market.
Figures are county-wide medians drawn from live OneKey MLS data and refresh as new sales close; they describe the market, not any specific property, and are rounded to avoid false precision.

Long-run figures are rebuilt monthly from closed MLS sales; single-family, co-op and condo figures are kept separate.
