Auburndale Market Data
Current market conditions and pricing trends for Auburndale, Queens, NY.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 192 recorded closings in ZIP 11358 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.
Over the past 2 years, 11358 has resisted a single storyline: the median sale price has bounced between $848K and $1.59M, the kind of swing that typically reflects a thin or mixed market. Homes here have lately been going under contract in roughly 62 days.
Based on information from OneKey® MLS, for the period October 6, 2025 through October 1, 2026. Source: OneKey MLS (recorded Queens sales, trailing 12mo) + actual tax. Based on 118 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.
What This Means for Sellers
Auburndale 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 Auburndale 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.
Measured across ZIP 11358, which also covers Flushing, Bayside and Fresh Meadows.
The listings that did not sell asked a median of $1,398,000 — 24% above the $1,130,000 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 Counted over the trailing twelve months: every listing that closed, expired, was withdrawn or was terminated.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.

With a median home price of $1,130,000 and a median recorded property tax of $9,000 annually, Auburndale pairs an established housing stock with direct access to New York City. The commute to Manhattan averages approximately 23 min via the Long Island Rail Road.
Auburndale's housing splits across ownership forms — coops selling at a median of $280K, condos selling at a median of $580K, single-family homes selling at a median of $1.13M — and the differences go well beyond price. 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. Both coop and condo buildings are active markets here — see the segment data above for how each is currently moving.
Joseph's Insider Guide to Auburndale
Direct answers informed by 5,000+ closed transactions across Nassau, Suffolk, Queens and Brooklyn — not the canned content you'd find on any listing portal.
Is Auburndale a good place to live for commuters?
The LIRR connects Auburndale to Penn Station and Grand Central Madison in approximately 23 min, and the neighborhood carries a transit score of 73/100. 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 Auburndale, NY?
Auburndale homeowners pay a median of approximately $9,000 a year in property taxes — the median of the tax figures actually recorded on homes sold here, not an estimate. The bill funds school-district, county, town, and special-district services. 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.

(Not a substitute for your own attorney's representation.)
