Single-family homes in the Mineola Union Free School District sold for a median of $870,000 (typically $800,000–$970,000) across 120 recorded sales between Oct 6, 2025 and Sep 29, 2026, up 11.5% on the 12 months before. This home's $839,000 list price sits in the mid-market single-family tier for the Mineola Union Free School District.

ZIP 11501 has about 2.6 months of single family inventory — seller's market. Demand is outpacing supply, so homes sell quickly with firm pricing and limited room to negotiate.

At about $11,182 a year, this home's property tax is in line with the roughly $12,000 typical for Mineola Union Free School District. Nassau assessments run on a multi-year cycle, so the assessed value behind this bill can lag what the home actually sells for today. A sale does not automatically reset it, and 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.

Mineola Market Trend

Mineola's monthly median has swung between $405K and $930K over the past 2 years — volatility that usually reflects a thin or mixed market rather than one steady trend. Homes here have lately been going under contract in roughly 47 days. Part of why that median has moved unevenly month to month is mix shift — which property types happen to sell. The roughly $730K blended median combines very different types, so a stretch heavy on single-family (around $835K) versus one heavy on co-ops (around $345K) can swing the all-types figure on its own, independent of any change in value. Of 297 recent sales, single-family made up the largest share at about 63% with a median near $835K, co-ops about 33% near $345K, and a small number of other types. Because co-ops, though not the most common, is priced far enough from the rest to pull the blend down, 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 $835K, roughly $105K 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.
