Single-family homes in the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District sold for a median of $616,000 (typically $550,000–$675,000) across 365 recorded sales between Oct 17, 2025 and Sep 30, 2026, up 6.2% on the 12 months before. This home's $529,000 list price sits in the entry single-family tier for the Patchogue-Medford Union Free School District.

ZIP 11763 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 $7,968 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 28% below the $11,000 typical for Patchogue-Medford 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.
