Single-family homes in the Farmingdale Union Free School District sold for a median of $670,000 (typically $615,000–$800,000) across 29 recorded sales between Oct 8, 2025 and Oct 2, 2026, up 6.7% on the 12 months before.

ZIP 11735 has about 1.8 months of single family inventory — hot seller's market. Severe inventory shortage — homes sell fast and often draw multiple offers over asking, giving sellers maximum leverage.

At about $13,723 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 14% above the $12,000 typical for Farmingdale Union Free 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.
