What Is Your Glen Oaks, NY Home Worth?
Get a strategic market analysis — not an algorithm. A real evaluation from a licensed attorney and Associate Real Estate Broker serving Queens.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together.
Based on 95 recorded closings in ZIP 11004 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
11004 has tightened over the past 2 years: the median sale price has advanced roughly 9% year over year to near $455K, and sales have generally been closing faster. That combination points to conditions favoring sellers — and if it continues, further firming is possible. Alongside that firming trend, note that the roughly $440K blended median combines very different property types, so it may not describe any single one: of 220 recent sales, co-ops made up the largest share at about 57% with a median near $365K, single-family about 41% near $889K. 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 $889K, roughly $449K over the headline number. 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 Glen Oaks
Seller's Market
Prices in the Glen Oaks coop market have tracked sideways over the past 2 years — the monthly median has moved between $275K and $435K and sits near $367K, with no clear directional trend taking hold. The typical recent sale has taken about 41 days to go under contract.
Sellers: Thin coop inventory works in your favor -- but the best buyer is a board-ready one. Vet financing strength and package readiness before you commit to an offer.
Buyers: Prepared buyers win here: have your financials organized and your board package essentially pre-built before you bid.

Who has cut their asking price
Price reductions in Glen Oaks
9 of 30 homes for sale
30.0% have cut their asking price — below the 34.0% across Queens
Of the 30 homes for sale in Glen Oaks today, 9 are now asking less than they originally asked — 30.0%, against 34.0% across Queens.
And among the homes that actually sold
Among the 80 homes that sold in Glen Oaks over the last twelve settled months, 26.3% had cut their price before they sold — up from 16.7% over the same twelve months a year earlier.
What each group got
Over those same twelve months, the 59 Glen Oaks homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 98.5% of their asking price in a median of 24 days. The 21 that did reduce achieved 94.2% of what they first asked, after 106 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 Glen Oaks 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.
Joseph's Market Take
What This Means for Sellers
Glen Oaks reads as a Seller's Market: about 3.7 months of single-family supply, and homes sold in a median of 33 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 Glen Oaks 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 Glen Oaks
What It's Like Living in Glen Oaks
Glen Oaks is one of Queens's most established residential communities, offering a distinctive blend of suburban character and metropolitan accessibility. Located in the 11004 zip code, the community is served by the New York City Department Of Education.
With a median home price of $900,000 and a median recorded property tax of $8,400 annually, Glen Oaks pairs an established housing stock with direct access to New York City. The commute to Manhattan averages approximately 31 min via the Long Island Rail Road.
Ownership here takes more than one form: coops selling at a median of $380K, single-family homes selling at a median of $900K — two genuinely different ways to live in Glen Oaks. 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. Coops are the dominant apartment form in Glen Oaks — board approval and building-set financial requirements are part of most apartment purchases here.

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 Glen Oaks a good place to live for commuters?
The LIRR connects Glen Oaks to Penn Station and Grand Central Madison in approximately 31 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 Glen Oaks, NY?
Glen Oaks homeowners pay a median of approximately $8,400 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.

What should buyers know before making an offer in Glen Oaks?
School district boundaries in Glen Oaks 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 Glen Oaks walkable for everyday living?

Expert answers to the most common questions about buying and selling in Glen Oaks.
How much does it cost to buy a home in Glen Oaks?
Single-family homes in Glen Oaks sold for a median of about $900,000 in the 12 months to September 10, 2026, across 37 closed sales, up 3% from the 12 months before. Their median recorded property-tax bill was about $8,400 a year. New York State's 1% mansion tax does not apply at that price; it starts at $1 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. Sources: OneKey® MLS closed sales; tax rates from the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance.
Is Glen Oaks a good place to buy a home, and who is it right for?
Glen Oaks is an established Queens community served by the New York City Department Of Education, with a median home price of $900,000 and a median tax bill around $8,400. 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 Glen Oaks, and can they be lowered?
Glen Oaks's median property-tax bill runs about $8,400/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 Glen Oaks to Manhattan?
The typical commute to Manhattan is roughly 31 minutes by LIRR from the Floral Park station (Tulip Avenue & Atlantic Avenue, Floral Park, NY 11001) on the Hempstead Branch, with peak trains serving both Penn Station and Grand Central Madison (about 31 minutes to Grand Central). If you want options, nearby stations include New Hyde Park (about 30 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 Glen Oaks, and is it a buyer's or seller's market right now?
The median home price in Glen Oaks is $900,000, with prices trending +3% year over year, and the market is currently a Seller's Market with a median of 33 days on market. On the supply side, Glen Oaks is carrying about 3.7 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 27% of available homes selling each month (the absorption rate). Homes have recently sold at a median of about 98% of list price — 19% of sales closed above asking, 13% at asking, and 68% 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 Glen Oaks?
Glen Oaks is served by the New York City Department Of Education. School attendance zones can run street by street, so an address in Glen Oaks 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 Glen Oaks?
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 Glen Oaks a buyer's or seller's market?
11004 has tightened over the past 2 years: the median sale price has advanced roughly 9% year over year to near $455K, and sales have generally been closing faster. That combination points to conditions favoring sellers — and if it continues, further firming is possible. Alongside that firming trend, note that the roughly $440K blended median combines very different property types, so it may not describe any single one: of 220 recent sales, co-ops made up the largest share at about 57% with a median near $365K, single-family about 41% near $889K. 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 $889K, roughly $449K over the headline number. 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.
Are sellers cutting prices in Glen Oaks?
9 of the 30 homes for sale in Glen Oaks are asking less than they originally asked (30.0%), against 34.0% across Queens. Among homes that actually sold there in the last twelve settled months, 26.3% 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 Glen Oaks becoming more or less common?
26.3% of the 80 homes that sold in Glen Oaks over the last twelve settled months had reduced their price before selling, compared with 16.7% 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 Glen Oaks sell for less?
Over the last twelve settled months in Glen Oaks, the 59 homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 98.5% of their asking price, and the 21 that reduced achieved 94.2% 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.
