Cambria Heights Market Data
Current market conditions and pricing trends for Cambria Heights, Queens, NY.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 66 recorded closings in ZIP 11411 between Oct 6, 2025 and Oct 6, 2026 — a settled trailing twelve months, ending about a month back so late-recorded closings are counted rather than missed. Days on market are medians, not averages. A property type with fewer than 8 closed sales in that window is left out rather than published on a sample too thin to mean anything.
Single-family prices in ZIP 11411 are up about 4% year over year, comparing 65 sales in the 12 months to October 6, 2026 with 75 in the 12 months to October 6, 2025. Over the past 2 years, single-family monthly median sale prices in ZIP 11411 have ranged from $608K to $860K.
Based on information from OneKey® MLS, for the period November 11, 2025 through October 30, 2026. Source: OneKey MLS (recorded Queens sales, trailing 12mo) + actual tax. Based on 70 recorded sales. Property tax values shown are algorithmic estimates calculated from official NY State ORPS / NYC Department of Finance assessment data aggregated by school district (Long Island) or ZIP code (NYC). These figures are an educational baseline and do not represent a guaranteed or binding tax bill. Actual taxes vary based on individual assessed value, applicable exemptions (STAR, Senior, Veteran), historical grievances, village overlays, and special district levies. Verify exact tax with the Nassau County Assessor / Suffolk County Comptroller / NYC Department of Finance before any financial commitment.
Of the 43 homes for sale in Cambria Heights today, 13 are now asking less than they originally asked — 30.2%, against 35.2% across Queens. 3 sellers have raised their asking price.
And among the homes that actually sold
Among the 64 homes that sold in Cambria Heights over the last twelve settled months, 18.8% had cut their price before they sold — unchanged from 19.5% over the same twelve months a year earlier. The for-sale figure runs higher than the sold figure because homes that need a reduction stay on the market longer, so they build up among the listings still available while the completed sales are led by homes that sold without cutting.
What each group got
Over those same twelve months, the 52 Cambria Heights homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 100.0% of their asking price in a median of 30 days. The 12 that did reduce achieved 93.7% of what they first asked, after 121 days.
Homes that never reduced and homes that did are different homes, priced differently from the start — these figures describe what each group did, not what a reduction causes. How any individual home performs depends on condition, layout, its position within Cambria Heights and how it shows, none of which a market median can capture.
Measured from the OneKey MLS feed, updated daily. A home counts as reduced when its current asking price is below the price it was first listed at — not against an estimate or against other homes. The for-sale figures describe homes available today; the sold figures describe closed sales between October 2025 and September 2026.
What This Means for Sellers
Cambria Heights is sending mixed signals: there is real inventory on the market, yet homes are still selling at or near their final asking price. Neither side holds a clear edge, so the number you list at matters more than the headline. The comparables for your specific home, not a market label, are what the asking price is weighed against.
What This Means for Buyers
Cambria Heights is a mixed picture for buyers. Market indicators do not agree, so we are withholding a buyer's or seller's market classification. Review the inventory, selling time, and sale-to-list figures individually for a clearer picture of current conditions. Come pre-approved, and judge each home on its own comparables rather than on the market's headline.

The listings that did not sell asked a median of $769,000 — 4% above the $742,500 median of the homes that closed. Counted over the trailing twelve months: every listing that closed, expired, was withdrawn or was terminated. Listings still active or under contract are not counted on either side. If the feed does not retain every withdrawn listing, the real figure is higher than the one shown, never lower.

Is Cambria Heights a good place to live for commuters?
The LIRR connects Cambria Heights to Penn Station and Grand Central Madison in approximately 26 min, and the neighborhood carries a transit score of 63/100. Peak express service, station parking and walk-to-station distance vary by address, and those three factors decide what a commute actually looks like day to day.
What are property tax trends in Cambria Heights, NY?
Cambria Heights homeowners pay a median of approximately $5,800 a year in property taxes — the median of the tax figures actually recorded on homes sold here, not an estimate. In New York City, property taxes support citywide services, including public schools, police, fire protection, and infrastructure. Unlike Nassau and Suffolk counties, NYC does not impose separate school-district, town, or village property-tax levies. Taxes are assessed parcel by parcel, so two similar homes on the same street can carry very different bills — confirm the actual assessment on a specific address before relying on it.
