Manhasset Market Data
Current market conditions and pricing trends for Manhasset, Nassau, NY.
Single-family, condo and co-op homes are measured separately — these medians are never blended together. Based on 171 recorded closings in ZIP 11030 between Sep 10, 2025 and Sep 10, 2026 — a settled trailing twelve months, ending about a month back so late-recorded closings are counted rather than missed. Days on market are medians, not averages. A property type with fewer than 8 closed sales in that window is left out rather than published on a sample too thin to mean anything.
After topping out near $2.6M around October 2025, 11030's median sale price has settled back to about $2.2M, and homes are taking longer to find buyers. Should the pattern hold, the market may continue drifting toward balance.
Based on information from OneKey® MLS, for the period October 7, 2025 through October 1, 2026. Source: OneKey MLS (recorded LI sales, trailing 12mo) + actual tax. Based on 117 recorded sales.

These figures are an educational baseline and do not represent a guaranteed or binding tax bill. Actual taxes vary based on individual assessed value, applicable exemptions (STAR, Senior, Veteran), historical grievances, village overlays, and special district levies.

Across 9 years of county-clerk records, 64 homes in the Manhasset school district were bought by a company and resold within two years. Over the whole period the typical one was bought for $1,240,000 and resold for $1,949,000, a median of 15 months later.
That difference is gross. Renovation, carrying, financing and selling costs are not recorded anywhere public, so it is the change in price, not a profit. Over a hold of that length prices across the county moved about +6.8%, so most of the difference is not the market carrying the house.
What these homes resold for moved from a median of $1,345,000 in 2017 to $2,085,000 in 2025, up about 55% over the period.
The pandemic years cut against the intuition that investors moved in. Companies bought 11.9% of homes here in 2019, then 5.5% in 2020 and 8.1% in 2021 — the lowest share of the 9 years.

Source: property transfers recorded with the county clerk, which cover every sale rather than only those listed for sale. Filings reach the state months after closing, so these figures run to December 2025 and describe what has already happened rather than the market today.
Between 2017 and December 2025, 165 homes in the Manhasset school district passed between family members rather than being sold — about 11 for every 100 that sold on the open market.
89% of them recorded no price at all, so they appear in no market statistic, no listing history and no sold comparable. They are counted here because the transfer itself is filed with the county clerk, whether or not money changed hands.
Counted from the reason recorded on each transfer with the county clerk, not from the price. Transfers filed only to add or remove a name on the deed are excluded — those are paperwork, not a change of owner. Where a filing gives no reason it is not counted, so these are minimum counts rather than a complete rate, and they run to December 2025.
Of the 41 homes for sale in Manhasset today, 20 are now asking less than they originally asked — 48.8%, against 35.4% across Nassau. 1 seller has raised their asking price.
And among the homes that actually sold
Among the 172 homes that sold in Manhasset over the last twelve settled months, 13.4% had cut their price before they sold — unchanged from 14.4% over the same twelve months a year earlier. The for-sale figure runs higher than the sold figure because homes that need a reduction stay on the market longer, so they build up among the listings still available while the completed sales are led by homes that sold without cutting.
What each group got
Over those same twelve months, the 149 Manhasset homes that sold without ever reducing achieved 101.0% of their asking price in a median of 16 days. The 23 that did reduce achieved 88.9% of what they first asked, after 116 days.
Homes that never reduced and homes that did are different homes, priced differently from the start — these figures describe what each group did, not what a reduction causes. How any individual home performs depends on condition, layout, its position within Manhasset and how it shows, none of which a market median can capture.
Measured from the OneKey MLS feed, updated daily. A home counts as reduced when its current asking price is below the price it was first listed at — not against an estimate or against other homes. The for-sale figures describe homes available today; the sold figures describe closed sales between September 2025 and August 2026.
What This Means for Sellers
Manhasset reads as a Seller's Market: about 3.4 months of single-family supply, and homes sold in a median of 19 days over the past 12 months. If you're considering selling, this market rewards strategic pricing — not overpricing. A properly positioned listing will attract qualified buyers and maximize your net proceeds.
What This Means for Buyers
Buyers in Manhasset should be prepared to act quickly and come with strong offers. Pre-approval is essential, and buyers are generally better served retaining their own real estate attorney early to review the negotiation and contract. Expect competition, but don't overpay — there's a difference between being competitive and being reckless.
The listings that did not sell asked a median of $3,333,000 — 43% above the $2,325,000 median of the homes that closed. Counted over the trailing twelve months: every listing that closed, expired, was withdrawn or was terminated. Listings still active or under contract are not counted on either side. If the feed does not retain every withdrawn listing, the real figure is higher than the one shown, never lower.

What It's Like Living in Manhasset
Manhasset is one of Nassau's most established residential communities, offering a distinctive blend of suburban character and metropolitan accessibility. Located in the 11030 zip code, the community is served by the Manhasset Union Free School District.
With a median home price of $2,413,500 and a median recorded property tax of $23,800 annually, Manhasset pairs an established housing stock with direct access to New York City. The commute to Manhattan averages approximately 28 min via the Long Island Rail Road.
Living in Manhasset does not mean one kind of ownership — condos selling at a median of $1.81M, single-family homes selling at a median of $2.41M, each with its own economics and day-to-day experience. In a coop or condo, the building handles the envelope — roof, heat, grounds — and your monthly maintenance or common charges fund it; in a house, those responsibilities (and that flexibility) are entirely yours. Condos are the dominant apartment form in Manhasset — deeded ownership with fewer transfer restrictions than a coop.

The bill funds school-district, county, town, and special-district services.

(Not a substitute for your own attorney's representation.)

Schools in Manhasset, NY
Manhasset is served by the Manhasset Union Free School District. Attendance zones on Long Island are assigned street by street, so a Manhasset mailing address does not by itself determine which school a home is zoned for.
- Elementary
- Munsey Park Elementary School Shelter Rock Elementary School
- Middle
- Manhasset Middle School
- High
- Manhasset Secondary School
These are the schools recorded on homes sold in this district over the last 12 months — the district may also serve neighbouring communities. Zones can change and run street by street — we confirm the exact assignment for any home before you offer.
Median home value is the New York State ORPS assessment-roll median for the district. Typical annual tax and effective rate are the median recorded tax bill and that bill divided by the median sale price, across 134 recent sales carrying a reported tax figure — an observed cost ratio, not an official millage rate. District boundaries can cross town and postal lines, so always verify the district for a specific address.
