Bellmore Market Data
Current market conditions and pricing trends for Bellmore, Nassau, NY.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 258 recorded closings in ZIP 11710 between Sep 20, 2025 and Sep 20, 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 11710 are up about 6% year over year, comparing 248 sales in the 12 months to September 20, 2026 with 242 in the 12 months to September 20, 2025. Over the past 2 years, single-family monthly median sale prices in ZIP 11710 have ranged from $733K to $890K.

That difference is gross. Renovation, carrying, financing and selling costs are not recorded anywhere public, so it is the change in price, not a profit. Over a hold of that length prices across the county moved about +7.4%, so most of the difference is not the market carrying the house.

The pandemic years cut against the intuition that investors moved in. Companies bought 9.3% of homes here in 2019, then 10.4% in 2020 and 8.0% in 2021 — the lowest share of the 9 years. In those two years companies won a smaller share, not a larger one.

Source: property transfers recorded with the county clerk, which cover every sale rather than only those listed for sale. Filings reach the state months after closing, so these figures run to December 2025 and describe what has already happened rather than the market today.
Between 2017 and December 2025, 161 homes in the Bellmore school district passed between family members rather than being sold — about 12 for every 100 that sold on the open market.
78% of them recorded no price at all, so they appear in no market statistic, no listing history and no sold comparable. They are counted here because the transfer itself is filed with the county clerk, whether or not money changed hands.
Counted from the reason recorded on each transfer with the county clerk, not from the price. Transfers filed only to add or remove a name on the deed are excluded — those are paperwork, not a change of owner. Where a filing gives no reason it is not counted, so these are minimum counts rather than a complete rate, and they run to December 2025.
Of the 34 homes for sale in Bellmore today, 13 are now asking less than they originally asked — 38.2%, against 36.3% across Nassau.
And among the homes that actually sold
Among the 150 homes that sold in Bellmore over the last twelve settled months, 22.0% had cut their price before they sold — up from 18.8% 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 117 Bellmore homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 102.3% of their asking price in a median of 19 days. The 33 that did reduce achieved 90.3% of what they first asked, after 68 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 Bellmore 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
Bellmore reads as a Seller's Market: about 2.8 months of single-family supply, and homes sold in a median of 24 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.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Bellmore 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.

The listings that did not sell asked a median of $849,999 — 4% above the $818,000 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.
