Floral Park Market Data
Current market conditions and pricing trends for Floral Park, Queens, NY.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 150 recorded closings between Oct 7, 2025 and Oct 7, 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 homes with a Floral Park mailing address in ZIPs 11001, 11004, 11005 are down about 2% year over year, comparing 32 sales in the 12 months to October 7, 2026 with 37 in the 12 months to October 7, 2025.
What This Means for Sellers
Floral Park reads as a Seller's Market: about 3.4 months of single-family supply, and homes sold in a median of 31 days over the past 12 months. If you're considering selling, the starting point is recent comparable sales for your specific home and how it presents against the homes it competes with.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Floral Park should be prepared to act quickly and come with strong offers. Pre-approval is essential, and buyers are generally better served retaining their own real estate attorney early to review the negotiation and contract. Expect competition, but don't overpay — there's a difference between being competitive and being reckless.

Is Floral Park a good place to live for commuters?
The LIRR connects Floral Park to Penn Station and Grand Central Madison in approximately 31 min, and the neighborhood carries a transit score of 57/100. 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 Floral Park, NY?

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.
