How many sellers in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens are asking less than they first listed at — by county, by town, and against a year ago. Counted from every listing in the MLS, not a sample.
4,029 of the 11,135 homes for sale in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens on November 6, 2026 are asking less than they were first listed at — 36.2%. By county: Nassau 37.8%, Suffolk 36.2%, Queens 35.2%.
Among the 31,309 homes that sold in the 12 months to September 2026, 23.9% had cut their price before selling, against 22.8% over the same months a year earlier.
Nassau County

36.2%
1,322 of 3,648 homes for sale have cut their asking price
Queens

1,694 of 4,806 homes for sale have cut their asking price
“Typical cut” is the median reduction among the homes that have cut, measured against each home’s own first asking price. Price increases are rare, which is why they get a count and not a trend.
The county figures are close to one another. The towns inside them are not.

Every town in each county is listed, by the town name on the MLS listing. Each count covers every home for sale there today — nothing is sampled — so a small count is exact, but with only a few homes on the market one seller changing their price moves it a lot. Percentages appear from 10 homes for sale; the sales column needs 10 sales for a count and 30 for a percentage. A town that shares its name across two counties is counted separately in each.
This half of the page counts homes that sold: of every closing in the 12 months to September 2026, how many had cut their asking price before they sold, against the same 12 calendar months a year earlier.
12 months to September 2026 same months a year earlier · share of each month’s sales that had cut
Price cutting is seasonal, which is why the comparison is always with the same months a year earlier. Within the last 12 months the monthly share ran Nassau from 15.2% (July) to 29.2% (January); Suffolk from 15.2% (June) to 31.2% (January); Queens from 25.3% (June) to 30.6% (November). Queens moves far less through the year than Nassau and Suffolk — a swing of 5.4 points, against 14.0 and 16.0. Comparing one month with the month before it would mostly measure the calendar, not the market.
Why the two figures differ. 36.2% of homes for sale today have cut, but only 23.9% of homes that sold had. Both are correct — they count different homes. Homes that need a reduction stay on the market longer, so they build up among the listings still for sale, while the homes that sell are mostly ones that never had to cut.
Most reductions come after weeks on the market rather than at the start: homes listed for under a month have rarely cut, while a large share of those listed for three months or more have. Why a house is not selling, by weeks on the market ›

Brooklyn is not on this page yet. Our MLS feed carries only part of the Brooklyn market, and it files every Brooklyn listing under one town name, so neither a borough figure nor a neighborhood table would be complete. Brooklyn joins this page when its own MLS feed is live.
On November 6, 2026, 4,029 of the 11,135 homes for sale in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens (36.2%) were asking less than their original list price: Nassau 37.8%, Suffolk 36.2%, Queens 35.2%. 300 had raised their price instead. Counted from every active listing in the OneKey MLS feed.
1,013 of 2,681 (37.8%) on November 6, 2026, with a typical cut of 5.7% of the original asking price. It varies by town, from 22.2% in Plainview to 54.3% in Lynbrook among towns with at least 30 homes for sale.
1,322 of 3,648 (36.2%) on November 6, 2026, with a typical cut of 6.0% of the original asking price. It varies by town, from 20.0% in Brentwood to 53.5% in East Quogue among towns with at least 30 homes for sale.
1,694 of 4,806 (35.2%) on November 6, 2026, with a typical cut of 5.4% of the original asking price. It varies by town, from 19.4% in Ridgewood to 51.7% in Howard Beach among towns with at least 30 homes for sale.
This page measures asking-price cuts, not sale prices. Among homes that sold in the 12 months to September 2026, the share that had cut their asking price before selling was Nassau 22.1% against 21.0% (about as common as a year earlier); Suffolk 22.7% against 21.1% (about as common as a year earlier); Queens 27.9% against 27.4% (about as common as a year earlier), comparing the same calendar months a year apart. A price cut means a seller came down from their own first asking price; it does not by itself mean home values fell. Sale-price trends are on each county market report.
A home counts as reduced when its current asking price is lower than the price it was first listed at. It is not based on an estimate or a valuation, only on the seller's own two numbers, their original asking price and their current one.
36.2% of homes for sale today have cut, against 23.9% of homes that sold in the 12 months to September 2026. They count different homes. Homes that need a reduction stay on the market longer, so they accumulate among current listings, while most homes that sell never had to cut.
Homes for sale: every residential listing (single-family, condo, coop and 2–4 family; rentals excluded) in Active status in the OneKey MLS feed on November 6, 2026. Coming Soon listings are not counted: they have not been on the market, so a change before launch is not a price cut.
Reduced means the current asking price is below the original list price. Typical cut is the median reduction among reduced homes, as a share of their original price.
Homes that sold: closings from October 2025 through September 2026, compared with October 2024 through September 2025. The most recent month is left out until its sales have finished being reported. A home counts as having cut if its final asking price was below its original one.
Direction: “more common” or “less common” needs the two 12-month shares to differ by at least two percentage points; a smaller gap reads “about as common”.
Figures are recalculated every 12 hours.
Figures count listings in the OneKey MLS feed and change as sellers adjust prices and homes sell; they describe the market, not any specific property, and a price reduction is not a judgment of any home's value.
