Middle Village Market Data
Current market conditions and pricing trends for Middle Village, Queens, NY.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 172 recorded closings in ZIP 11379 between Sep 10, 2025 and Sep 10, 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.
Prices in 11379 have tracked sideways over the past 2 years — the monthly median has moved between $770K and $1.14M and sits near $960K, with no clear directional trend taking hold. Recently, homes have been selling in about 64 days. It's also worth noting that the roughly $950K blended median combines very different property types, so it may not describe any single one: of 338 recent sales, single-family made up the largest share at about 51% with a median near $902K, multi-family (2-4 family) about 38% near $1.15M, condos about 8% near $500K. Because multi-family (2-4 family), though not the most common, is priced far enough from the rest to pull the blend up, the blended figure tends to sit above the single-family median rather than below it — so a typical single-family house has tended to sell closer to $902K, roughly $48K under the headline number, even though the much lower-priced condos in the mix pull the other way but at about 8% are too small a share to offset that lift. These are past medians, not predictions or guarantees, and individual properties vary widely; anyone weighing a specific property should review current comparable sales for that property type.
Based on information from OneKey® MLS, for the period October 7, 2025 through October 2, 2026. Source: OneKey MLS (recorded Queens sales, trailing 12mo) + actual tax. Based on 94 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 59 homes for sale in Middle Village today, 27 are now asking less than they originally asked — 45.8%, against 34.0% across Queens.
And among the homes that actually sold
Among the 166 homes that sold in Middle Village over the last twelve settled months, 31.9% had cut their price before they sold — up from 23.2% 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 113 Middle Village homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 100.0% of their asking price in a median of 29 days. The 53 that did reduce achieved 92.1% of what they first asked, after 89 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 Middle Village 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 September 2025 and August 2026.
What This Means for Sellers
Middle Village is showing balanced conditions, which means pricing strategy is more important than ever. Overpriced homes will sit while correctly priced properties still move. This is where having an agent who understands both the legal and market dynamics becomes critical.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Middle Village have room to make measured decisions right now — neither side holds a decisive edge. Come pre-approved and ready to move on the right home, but you can generally negotiate on price and terms without the frenzy of a hot market.
The listings that did not sell asked a median of $999,888 — 5% above the $949,500 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.

What It's Like Living in Middle Village
Middle Village is one of Queens's most established residential communities, offering a distinctive blend of suburban character and metropolitan accessibility. Located in the 11379 zip code, the community is served by the New York City Department Of Education.
With a median home price of $910,000 and a median recorded property tax of $7,600 annually, Middle Village pairs an established housing stock with direct access to New York City. The commute to Manhattan averages approximately 13 min via the Long Island Rail Road.
Ownership here takes more than one form: condos selling at a median of $498K, single-family homes selling at a median of $910K — two genuinely different ways to live in Middle Village. The practical difference is who owns the to-do list: coop and condo buildings absorb exterior upkeep through monthly charges, while a house puts every system and repair decision in your hands. Condos are the dominant apartment form in Middle Village — deeded ownership with fewer transfer restrictions than a coop.
