Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together.
Based on 300 recorded closings in ZIP 11355 between Oct 6, 2025 and Oct 6, 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.

The Trend
Single-family prices in ZIP 11355 are up about 1% year over year, comparing 47 sales in the 12 months to October 6, 2026 with 36 in the 12 months to October 6, 2025.
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 Flushing
Strong Buyer's Market
In the Flushing coop market, the median sale price has eased about 3%: $306K for August through October 2026, against $316K for August through October 2025. Over the past 2 years, the three-month median peaked near $347K around June 2025. Time on market was about the same, around 83 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.
In the Flushing condo market, the median sale price has held broadly steady: $628K for August through October 2026, against $620K for August through October 2025. Over the past 2 years, monthly medians have ranged from $583K to $710K. Homes also sold faster: about 70 days on market, against 91 a year earlier.
Sellers: The signals here disagree -- inventory looks ample while units are still going to contract quickly near asking -- so price to your building's own recent sales rather than to a market label.
Buyers: Read this one building by building. The neighborhood-wide numbers point in different directions, so leverage depends on the specific building far more than on the market.

Who has cut their asking price
Price reductions in Flushing
214 of 755 homes for sale
28.3% have cut their asking price — below the 35.2% across Queens
Of the 755 homes for sale in Flushing today, 214 are now asking less than they originally asked — 28.3%, against 35.2% across Queens. 26 sellers have raised their asking price.
And among the homes that actually sold
Among the 1,177 homes that sold in Flushing over the last twelve settled months, 21.8% had cut their price before they sold — down from 24.6% over the same twelve months a year earlier.
What each group got
Over those same twelve months, the 920 Flushing homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 96.8% of their asking price in a median of 35 days. The 257 that did reduce achieved 89.6% of what they first asked, after 110 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 Flushing 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 October 2025 and September 2026.
Joseph's Market Take
What This Means for Sellers
Flushing is showing balanced conditions, which means buyers weigh each asking price closely against recent comparable sales. This is where having an agent who understands both the legal and market dynamics becomes critical.
Buyer Advisory
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Flushing 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.

03 — About Flushing
What It's Like Living in Flushing
Flushing is one of Queens's most established residential communities, offering a distinctive blend of suburban character and metropolitan accessibility. Located in the 11355 zip code, the community is served by the New York City Department Of Education.
With a median single-family sale price of $1,145,000 and a median recorded property tax of $7,900 a year across single-family sales in ZIP 11355 (Flushing mailing area), Flushing pairs an established housing stock with direct access to New York City. The commute to Manhattan averages approximately 19 min via the Long Island Rail Road.
Flushing's housing splits across ownership forms — coops selling at a median of $370K, condos selling at a median of $620K, single-family homes selling at a median of $1.15M — and the differences go well beyond price. Day to day, apartment ownership trades yard work and building upkeep for a monthly charge and house rules; a house trades the monthly charge for full control — and full responsibility. 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 Flushing
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 Flushing a good place to live for commuters?
The LIRR connects Flushing to Penn Station and Grand Central Madison in approximately 19 min, and the neighborhood carries a transit score of 79/100. 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 Flushing, NY?
Flushing homeowners pay a median of approximately $7,900 a year in property taxes — the median of the tax figures actually recorded on homes sold here, not an estimate. In New York City, property taxes support citywide services, including public schools, police, fire protection, and infrastructure. Unlike Nassau and Suffolk counties, NYC does not impose separate school-district, town, or village property-tax levies. 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 Flushing?
The single-family market in ZIP 11355 (Flushing mailing area) is currently a Balanced Market, with homes selling in about 30 days. Single-family sale prices in ZIP 11355 (Flushing mailing area) changed +1% 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 Flushing different from other Queens communities?
Flushing 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 Flushing?
School district boundaries in Flushing 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 Flushing walkable for everyday living?
Flushing has a Walk Score of 89/100, measured at a single point near the centre of Flushing. Walkability varies street by street, so check the score for a specific address; the LIRR provides Manhattan access in approximately 19 min.

Flushing is served by the New York City Department Of Education. Attendance zones in New York City are assigned street by street, so a Flushing mailing address does not by itself determine which school a home is zoned for.
Individual school assignments in New York City Department Of Education are made street by street.
Contact the district for building assignments, or ask us to confirm the zone for a specific address.

Expert answers to the most common questions about buying and selling in Flushing.
How much does it cost to buy a home in Flushing?
Single-family homes in ZIP 11355 (Flushing mailing area) sold for a median of about $1.15 million in the 12 months to October 6, 2026, across 47 closed sales. Single-family prices in ZIP 11355 are up 1% year over year, comparing 47 sales in the 12 months to October 6, 2026 with 36 in the 12 months to October 6, 2025. Their median recorded property-tax bill was about $7,900 a year.

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 Flushing a good place to buy a home, and who is it right for?
Flushing is an established Queens community served by the New York City Department Of Education, with a median single-family sale price of $1,145,000 and a median tax bill around $7,900 across single-family sales in ZIP 11355 (Flushing mailing area). The single-family market in ZIP 11355 (Flushing mailing area) is currently a Balanced 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. County-wide data: Queens market report.
What are property taxes like in Flushing, and can they be lowered?
Flushing's single-family homes that sold in the past 12 months carried a median recorded property-tax bill of about $7,900 a year (46 recorded bills). In New York City the bill depends on the tax class: one- to three-family houses are generally Class 1, while co-ops and condos are generally Class 2 and valued as if the building were a rental building; a co-op owner pays through the monthly maintenance rather than a bill of their own. Can taxes be lowered? An owner who thinks the Department of Finance’s assessment is too high can apply to the NYC Tax Commission once tentative assessments are published each January 15. Applications are due by March 1 for co-ops, condos and other Class 2 property and by March 15 for one- to three-family homes (the next business day when those dates fall on a weekend), late applications are not accepted, and a reduction is not assured. Owner-occupants should also check exemptions such as STAR and the senior and veterans’ exemptions, and co-op and condo owners the Co-op/Condo Abatement.

What is the median home price in Flushing, and is it a buyer's or seller's market right now?
The median single-family sale price in ZIP 11355 (Flushing mailing area) is $1,145,000, with single-family sale prices there trending +1% year over year, and the single-family market there is currently a Balanced Market with a median of 30 days on market. These figures cover single-family homes in ZIP 11355 (Queens sales only): 47 sales in the 12 months to October 6, 2026, against 36 in the 12 months before. On the supply side, 16 single-family listings are active today — about 4.1 months of inventory at that sales pace, which points to a relatively balanced supply, with roughly 24% of available homes selling each month (the absorption rate). Single-family homes have recently sold at a median of about 98.1% of final list price — 24% closed above it, 18% at it, and 58% below (the 45 of those sales with a usable list price). For a detailed analysis of your specific home or purchase target, contact Joseph DeVito for a complimentary market evaluation. County-wide data: how long homes take to sell in Queens.
How are the schools in Flushing?
Flushing is served by the New York City Department Of Education. School attendance zones can run street by street, so an address in Flushing 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 Flushing?
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.)
Can two homes in Flushing fall into different elementary school zones?
Yes. New York City elementary school zones are drawn address by address by the NYC Department of Education, and they do not follow neighborhood names, so two homes in Flushing can be zoned for different elementary schools and a neighborhood can span more than one community school district. A home's zoned school is not always the closest one, some addresses have no zoned elementary school, and zone lines can change, so neither a neighborhood name nor a listing's school field establishes eligibility. Check the specific address with the DOE's Find a School lookup, or call 311, for the year your child would enroll. Look up an address's zoned schools →
How long is the subway or LIRR commute from Flushing to Midtown Manhattan?
One of the main subway stations for Flushing is Flushing-Main St (Main St & Roosevelt Ave, Flushing, NY 11354), served by the 7 train. The LIRR also stops at Flushing Main Street (Main Street & 41st Avenue, Flushing, NY 11355) on the Port Washington Branch; the scheduled morning-peak trip to Penn Station is about 19 minutes, and about 19 minutes to Grand Central Madison. A subway travel time is not quoted here because it depends on the station and service you use. Plan a trip with the MTA →
How do NYC property taxes in Flushing differ for houses, condos, and co-ops?
They fall into different tax classes, and the rules are the same in Flushing as anywhere in New York City. One- to three-family houses are generally Tax Class 1: the Department of Finance assesses them at 6% of its market value, and a market-driven increase in assessed value is capped at 6% a year and 20% over five years. Most co-ops and condos are Tax Class 2, assessed at 45% of market value; by state law the city values them as if the building were a rental building, using comparable rentals rather than the unit's sale price, so an assessment can sit well below what the unit would sell for. Buildings of 10 or fewer units have caps of 8% a year and 30% over five years; larger buildings have no cap, and changes are phased in over five years. A condo owner receives a tax bill for the unit. A co-op owner does not: the building pays one bill and passes it through in the monthly maintenance. Co-op and condo owners who live in the unit as a primary residence may qualify for the city's Co-op/Condo Abatement. An owner who disputes an assessment can ask the NYC Tax Commission to review it. Check a specific property's assessment and bill with the Department of Finance before you compare homes. How NYC assesses property →
Why can a Flushing co-op look cheaper than a condo but still have a higher monthly cost?
Because the two prices buy different things. A co-op price buys shares in the corporation that owns the building, and the monthly maintenance pays the unit's share of the building's costs, which typically include its property taxes, any mortgage on the building itself, insurance, staff, repairs and reserves. A condo price buys the unit itself: the owner pays common charges to the building and pays the unit's property-tax bill separately. So a co-op with a lower price and higher maintenance can cost more each month than a condo whose common charges look low, until the condo's taxes are added. Either kind of building can also levy an assessment for major work, and co-op boards set their own financing rules, such as a minimum down payment and cash reserves after closing, which can be stricter than a lender's. The fair comparison is the total monthly carrying cost: the mortgage payment plus maintenance for the co-op, against the mortgage payment plus common charges plus taxes for the condo, read alongside each building's financial statements and any pending assessment. Compare co-op and condo buildings →Related: co-op vs. condo: prices and time to sell.
Which price range moves fastest in Flushing: entry-level homes, condos, co-ops, or larger properties?
For Flushing (single-family sales in ZIP 11355), homes priced Under $500K sold fastest over the 12 months to November 3, 2026: a median of 2 days on market before going into contract, across 1 sale. That is too small a sample to be statistically stable, so a single sale moves it substantially. Among ranges with at least 10 sales, the fastest was $1.25M+ at 25 days (21 sales), nearly identical to $1M – $1.25M at 28 days (10 sales), only 3 days apart. The slowest was $500K – $750K, at 54 days (1 sale). All price ranges: Under $500K: 2 days (1 sale); $500K – $750K: 54 days (1 sale); $750K – $1M: 35 days (13 sales); $1M – $1.25M: 28 days (10 sales); $1.25M+: 25 days (21 sales). The $500K – $750K range has fewer than 10 sales — too small a sample to be statistically stable. A year earlier (12 months to November 2025), the fastest range was Under $1M at 25 days (13 sales). By property type over the same 12 months, the median was: single-family homes 29 days (46 sales); condos 59 days (142 sales); co-ops 58 days (72 sales). Days on market here runs from listing to going into contract; closing comes later. Source: OneKey® MLS closed sales. See what your home would list for →
How have home prices changed in Flushing?
Single-family prices in ZIP 11355 are up about 1% year over year, comparing 47 sales in the 12 months to October 6, 2026 with 36 in the 12 months to October 6, 2025.
Are sellers cutting prices in Flushing?
214 of the 755 homes for sale in Flushing are asking less than they originally asked (28.3%), against 35.2% across Queens. Among homes that actually sold there in the last twelve settled months, 21.8% had cut before selling. Updated daily from the OneKey MLS feed.
What counts as a price reduction on this page?
A home is counted as reduced when its current asking price is lower than the price it was first listed at. It is not based on an estimate, on a valuation, or on what similar homes are worth — only on the seller's own two numbers, their original asking price and their current one.
Are price cuts in Flushing becoming more or less common?
21.8% of the 1,177 homes that sold in Flushing over the last twelve settled months had reduced their price before selling, compared with 24.6% over the same twelve months a year earlier. The two periods cover the same calendar months, because price cutting is strongly seasonal.
Do homes that cut their price in Flushing sell for less?
Over the last twelve settled months in Flushing, the 920 homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 96.8% of their asking price, and the 257 that reduced achieved 89.6% of what they first asked. These are different homes priced differently from the start, so the difference describes the two groups rather than the effect of a reduction.
