Elmont Market Data
Current market conditions and pricing trends for Elmont, Nassau, NY.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 192 recorded closings in ZIP 11003 between Sep 13, 2025 and Sep 13, 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 the Elmont school district are down about 7% year over year, comparing 18 sales in the 12 months to October 3, 2026 with 169 in the 12 months to October 8, 2025. Over the past 2 years, single-family monthly median sale prices in ZIP 11003 have ranged from $650K to $795K.
Based on information from OneKey® MLS, for the period October 6, 2025 through September 29, 2026. Source: OneKey MLS (recorded LI sales, trailing 12mo) + actual tax. Based on 237 recorded sales.

Across 9 years of county-clerk records, 437 homes in the Elmont school district were bought by a company and resold within two years. Over the whole period the typical one was bought for $330,000 and resold for $540,000, a median of 8.8 months later.
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 +4.2%, so most of the difference is not the market carrying the house.
What these homes resold for moved from a median of $455,000 in 2017 to $780,000 in 2025, up about 71% over the period.
The pandemic years cut against the intuition that investors moved in. Companies bought 20.5% of homes here in 2019, then 15.4% in 2020 and 11.2% in 2021 — the lowest share of the 9 years. In those two years companies won a smaller share, not a larger one. The number bought and resold within two years fell with it, from 95 in 2019 to 43 in 2021.
The resales that did happen in those years were the strongest of the period: the typical one in 2022 came in 90% above what the buyer had paid, against 68% across the years as a whole.

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, 595 homes in the Elmont school district passed between family members rather than being sold — about 20 for every 100 that sold on the open market.
87% 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 66 homes for sale in Elmont today, 18 are now asking less than they originally asked — 27.3%, against 35.5% across Nassau. 3 sellers have raised their asking price.
And among the homes that actually sold
Among the 188 homes that sold in Elmont over the last twelve settled months, 25.5% had cut their price before they sold — up from 18.1% over the same twelve months a year earlier.
What each group got
Over those same twelve months, the 140 Elmont homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 100.8% of their asking price in a median of 22 days. The 48 that did reduce achieved 92.7% of what they first asked, after 75 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 Elmont 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
Elmont 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 Elmont 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 $865,000 — 15% above the $750,000 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.
