Based on 224 recorded closings in ZIP 11367 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, 11367 has strengthened — the median sale price has risen roughly 11% year over year to around $435K, and homes have generally been selling faster. Conditions continue to favor sellers; if the trend holds, prices could keep firming. Alongside that firming trend, note that the roughly $390K blended median combines very different property types, so it may not describe any single one: of 431 recent sales, co-ops made up the largest share at about 54% with a median near $295K, single-family about 25% near $935K, condos about 13% near $470K, multi-family (2-4 family) about 7% near $1.24M. 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 $935K, roughly $545K 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 Kew Gardens Hills
Strong Buyer's Market
Prices in the Kew Gardens Hills coop market have tracked sideways over the past 2 years — the monthly median has moved between $249K and $372K and sits near $299K, with no clear directional trend taking hold. Homes here have lately been going under contract in roughly 74 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
Kew Gardens Hills 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.
Buyer Advisory
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Kew Gardens Hills 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 LIRR connects Kew Gardens Hills to Penn Station and Grand Central Madison in approximately 13 min, and the neighborhood carries a transit score of 68/100.

What are property tax trends in Kew Gardens Hills, NY?

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 Kew Gardens Hills?
School district boundaries in Kew Gardens Hills 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.)

Expert answers to the most common questions about buying and selling in Kew Gardens Hills.
How much does it cost to buy a home in Kew Gardens Hills?
Single-family homes in Kew Gardens Hills sold for a median of about $970,000 in the 12 months to September 10, 2026, across 55 closed sales, up 3% from the 12 months before. Their median recorded property-tax bill was about $7,300 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.

Is Kew Gardens Hills a good place to buy a home, and who is it right for?
Kew Gardens Hills is an established Queens community served by the New York City Department Of Education, with a median home price of $968,000 and a median tax bill around $7,300. Commuters reach Manhattan via the LIRR, and it's 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.
What are property taxes like in Kew Gardens Hills, and can they be lowered?
Kew Gardens Hills's median property-tax bill runs about $7,300/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 Kew Gardens Hills to Manhattan?
The typical commute to Manhattan is roughly 14 minutes by LIRR from the Forest Hills station (106-98 Continental Ave, Forest Hills, NY 11375) on the Babylon Branch, with peak trains serving both Penn Station and Grand Central Madison (about 13 minutes to Grand Central). If you want options, nearby stations include Woodside (about 10 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 Kew Gardens Hills, and is it a buyer's or seller's market right now?
The median home price in Kew Gardens Hills is $968,000, with prices trending +3% year over year, and the market is currently a Balanced Market with a median of 45 days on market. On the supply side, Kew Gardens Hills is carrying about 4.5 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 relatively balanced supply, with roughly 22% of available homes selling each month (the absorption rate). Homes have recently sold at a median of about 96.5% of list price — 8% of sales closed above asking, 9% at asking, and 83% 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 Kew Gardens Hills?
Kew Gardens Hills is served by the New York City Department Of Education. School attendance zones can run street by street, so an address in Kew Gardens Hills 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 Kew Gardens Hills?
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 Kew Gardens Hills a buyer's or seller's market?
Over the past 2 years, 11367 has strengthened — the median sale price has risen roughly 11% year over year to around $435K, and homes have generally been selling faster. Conditions continue to favor sellers; if the trend holds, prices could keep firming. Alongside that firming trend, note that the roughly $390K blended median combines very different property types, so it may not describe any single one: of 431 recent sales, co-ops made up the largest share at about 54% with a median near $295K, single-family about 25% near $935K, condos about 13% near $470K, multi-family (2-4 family) about 7% near $1.24M. 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 $935K, roughly $545K 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.
