Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together.
Based on 236 recorded closings in ZIP 11360 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.

Each segment is measured on its own inventory and sales pace — a segment's condition can differ from the overall market reading above.
The Trend
Over the past 2 years, 11360 has strengthened — the median sale price has risen roughly 8% year over year to around $575K, and homes have generally been selling faster. That combination points to conditions favoring sellers — and if it continues, further firming is possible. Alongside that firming trend, note that the roughly $535K blended median combines very different property types, so it may not describe any single one: of 506 recent sales, co-ops made up the largest share at about 49% with a median near $375K, condos about 29% near $667K, single-family about 15% near $1.26M, multi-family (2-4 family) about 7% near $1.59M. Because the most common type sold here is also the lowest-priced, the blended figure tends to sit below the single-family median rather than above it — so a typical single-family house has tended to sell closer to $1.26M, roughly $723K over the headline number, even though the higher-priced multi-family (2-4 family) in the mix pull the other way but at about 7% are too small a share to offset that drag. 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.
Coops & Condos: A Different Trend
Houses, coops, and condos do not move together here -- each segment below is measured on its own closed sales, so the direction (and what it means for you) can differ from the blended market above.
Coops in Bay Terrace
Buyer's Market
Over the past 2 years, the Bay Terrace coop market has held broadly steady — the median sale price has hovered around $375K, ranging from $310K to $470K month to month, with no sustained directional trend. Recently, homes have been selling in about 99 days.
Sellers: With more coops competing for buyers, price to your building's own sales history and have the building's financials ready to show -- serious buyers ask.
Buyers: You have negotiating room on price and terms right now. Boards have not gotten easier, though -- use the slower pace to strengthen your package.

Joseph's Market Take
What This Means for Sellers
Bay Terrace reads as a Seller's Market: about 3.6 months of single-family supply, and homes sold in a median of 49 days over the past 12 months. If you're considering selling, this market rewards strategic pricing — not overpricing. A properly positioned listing will attract qualified buyers and maximize your net proceeds.
Buyer Advisory
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Bay Terrace 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.

03 — About Bay Terrace
What It's Like Living in Bay Terrace
Bay Terrace is one of Queens's most established residential communities, offering a distinctive blend of suburban character and metropolitan accessibility. Located in the 11360 zip code, the community is served by the New York City Department Of Education.
With a median home price of $1,380,000 and a median recorded property tax of $12,100 annually, Bay Terrace 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.
Bay Terrace's housing splits across ownership forms — coops selling at a median of $375K, condos selling at a median of $650K, single-family homes selling at a median of $1.38M — and the differences go well beyond price. In a coop or condo, the building handles the envelope — roof, heat, grounds — and your monthly maintenance or common charges fund it; in a house, those responsibilities (and that flexibility) are entirely yours. Both coop and condo buildings are active markets here — see the segment data above for how each is currently moving.
Local Expert Insights
Joseph's Insider Guide to Bay Terrace
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 Bay Terrace a good place to live for commuters?
The LIRR connects Bay Terrace to Penn Station and Grand Central Madison in approximately 23 min, and the neighborhood carries a transit score of 58/100. 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 Bay Terrace, NY?
Bay Terrace homeowners pay a median of approximately $12,100 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.
Is now a good time to buy or sell in Bay Terrace?
Bay Terrace is currently a Seller's Market, with homes selling in about 49 days. Prices have moved +19% year-over-year. Timing decisions depend on your specific situation — contact Joseph for a no-cost strategy session tailored to your property and goals.
What makes Bay Terrace different from other Queens communities?
Bay Terrace is a long-established community served by the New York City Department Of Education. Prices and activity vary by property type, school district, condition and price band; the figures above show where this market stands now.
What should buyers know before making an offer in Bay Terrace?
School district boundaries in Bay Terrace often run street by street — two blocks can mean a different school zone, so confirming a home's exact attendance zone before you make an offer matters. As an Associate Broker who is also an attorney, Joseph reads title and contract details differently than most agents — and when the facts of a deal are in front of him, he knows what's worth asking about. (Not a substitute for your own attorney's representation.)
Is Bay Terrace walkable for everyday living?
Bay Terrace has a Walk Score of 85/100, measured at a single point near the centre of Bay Terrace. Walkability varies street by street, so check the score for a specific address; the LIRR provides Manhattan access in approximately 23 min.

Expert answers to the most common questions about buying and selling in Bay Terrace.
How much does it cost to buy a home in Bay Terrace?
Single-family homes in Bay Terrace sold for a median of about $1.38 million in the 12 months to September 10, 2026, across 41 closed sales, up 19% from the 12 months before. Their median recorded property-tax bill was about $12,100 a year. At that price the buyer also pays New York State's 1% mansion tax, which applies to homes of $1 million or more: about $13,800 on $1.38 million. The State's 0.4% base transfer tax is paid by the seller. Lender, title-insurance and attorney charges depend on the loan and the contract, so they are not included here.

Is Bay Terrace a good place to buy a home, and who is it right for?
Bay Terrace is an established Queens community served by the New York City Department Of Education, with a median home price of $1,380,000 and a median tax bill around $12,100. Commuters reach Manhattan via the LIRR, and it's currently a Seller's Market. Whether it fits comes down to budget, schools, and commute — I'll give you a candid read on the trade-offs versus nearby towns.
What are property taxes like in Bay Terrace, and can they be lowered?
Bay Terrace's median property-tax bill runs about $12,100/year. Can they be lowered? Sometimes. You can file a tax grievance — formally a tax certiorari proceeding — that challenges the assessed value your bill is calculated from. There's no guarantee of a reduction, it can take roughly two years to show up on your bill, and even a successful challenge may move the number only modestly. Many homeowners still pursue it, and a number of firms will handle the filing for a share of the first year's savings. It's worth reviewing for your specific home, and Joseph can pull a property's full tax history before you make an offer. If taxes are a deciding factor, you can also filter for lower-tax communities and compare.
What is the LIRR commute from Bay Terrace to Manhattan?
The typical commute to Manhattan is roughly 24 minutes by LIRR from the Bayside station (213th St & 41st Ave, Bayside, NY 11361) on the Port Washington Branch, with peak trains serving both Penn Station and Grand Central Madison (about 23 minutes to Grand Central). If you want options, nearby stations include Broadway (about 23 min to Penn) — handy for trading a shorter drive for a faster train. View LIRR schedules and fares.
What is the median home price in Bay Terrace, and is it a buyer's or seller's market right now?
The median home price in Bay Terrace is $1,380,000, with prices trending +19% year over year, and the market is currently a Seller's Market with a median of 49 days on market. On the supply side, Bay Terrace is carrying about 3.6 months of single-family inventory — the time it would take to sell every active single-family listing at the current sales pace — which points to a limited supply that favors sellers, with roughly 28% of available homes selling each month (the absorption rate). Homes have recently sold at a median of about 97.2% of list price — 16% of sales closed above asking, 11% at asking, and 74% below. For a detailed analysis of your specific home or purchase target, contact Joseph DeVito for a complimentary market evaluation.
How are the schools in Bay Terrace?
Bay Terrace is served by the New York City Department Of Education. School attendance zones can run street by street, so an address in Bay Terrace doesn't automatically put a home in a given school. Because that distinction can affect both your child's school and the home's resale value, Joseph checks the specific attendance zone for any home you're seriously considering before you make an offer.
Why work with Joseph DeVito to buy or sell in Bay Terrace?
Joseph DeVito doesn't just help people buy and sell homes — he's spent over a decade hands-on renovating them. Alongside 5,000+ transactions, that renovation experience means he's worked through layout, design, and functionality decisions and lived with the timelines, costs, and pitfalls of a project — so he walks a home with a renovator's eye for craftsmanship and condition and can show buyers where to look closely. As a licensed attorney (though not your attorney on the transaction), he also reads a deal differently than most agents: when the facts of a transaction are in front of him, he understands the contract and title questions worth asking. His background also includes deep foreclosure and distressed-sale experience. In a divorce or estate sale, he can orient you and then coordinate with your matrimonial or estate representative for the legal specifics outside an agent's role. He's also genuinely responsive. It's an uncommon mix, and clients are generally better served by it. (Joseph represents you as your agent through Keller Williams; this is not legal representation and does not create an attorney-client relationship.)
Is Bay Terrace a buyer's or seller's market?
Over the past 2 years, 11360 has strengthened — the median sale price has risen roughly 8% year over year to around $575K, and homes have generally been selling faster. That combination points to conditions favoring sellers — and if it continues, further firming is possible. Alongside that firming trend, note that the roughly $535K blended median combines very different property types, so it may not describe any single one: of 506 recent sales, co-ops made up the largest share at about 49% with a median near $375K, condos about 29% near $667K, single-family about 15% near $1.26M, multi-family (2-4 family) about 7% near $1.59M.
