Condos in the Shoreham-Wading River Central School District sold for a median of $533,000 (typically $490,000–$585,000) across 32 recorded sales between Oct 6, 2025 and Aug 25, 2026, up 1.2% on the 12 months before.

ZIP 11961 has about 1.8 months of condo inventory — hot seller's market. Severe inventory shortage — homes sell fast and often draw multiple offers over asking, giving sellers maximum leverage.

At about $5,072 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 44% below the $9,000 typical for Shoreham-Wading River Central School District. Suffolk bills combine town, school and special-district levies, so two homes at the same price in neighboring districts can carry materially different taxes. Exemptions such as STAR, Senior or Veteran move the number as well — a new owner's bill is often not the same as the seller's.

Ridge Market Trend

Over the past 2 years, Ridge's median sale price has been uneven, swinging between $385K and $705K from month to month — more a sign of a thin or mixed market than a steady, single-direction trend. Homes here have lately been going under contract in roughly 56 days. Part of why that median has moved unevenly month to month is mix shift — which property types happen to sell. The roughly $455K blended median combines very different types, so a stretch heavy on single-family (around $590K) versus one heavy on condos (around $380K) can swing the all-types figure on its own, independent of any change in value. Of 574 recent sales, condos made up the largest share at about 61% with a median near $380K, single-family about 38% near $590K. 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 $590K, roughly $134K 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.
